Take it to a CAT dealer and have them run there magic software program so they can tell you more than you will ever want to know. !00,000 miles is just broke in. Also check with an Allison dealer to see if fluid has been changed per their specs.
Our 02 DSDP has 82,000 miles on it and we plan to keep it till we die or can not drive anymore.
I would no spend $8000 for that 67,000mile one unless that rig fit my fancy more than the 100,000 mile one. Or should I say my wife's fancy
Also if it has only one fuel filter and no primer pump I would add the primer pump and a second fuel filter. and yes we added this to ours

I have never owned a Diesel before, so I'm hoping that folks here can enlighten me.
A MH that we're interested in has just under 100,000 miles. Model year 2004, Freightliner chassis, Cat 7.2 liter, 330 HP engine, with Alison 3000 6-speed.
Mileage seems a little high for roughly 10 years old, but I don't know if I should be concerned about that number of miles behind a Diesel. To what extent should I be concerned?
There's another one, essentially identical, with only 67,000 miles not too much further away. The asking price is $8,000 higher. Should I be looking more to the one with lower miles behind it?
I'm hoping to find a good, solid MH that will last us the better part of 10 years with good care and maintenance. Am I being too optimistic for a MH that's already 10 years old?
Thanks!
