Prioritize trucks with Cummins ISX engine: Generally more reliable and easier to maintain than early MaxxForce engines.

Thorough pre-purchase inspection: Crucial for heavy-duty trucks, focusing on engine, transmission, air system, and frame condition.

Check DPF/EGR maintenance history: If it's a MaxxForce, ensure these critical components have been serviced or replaced.

Inspect for rust, especially on the frame and cab mounts: Important for trucks from colder climates or with high mileage.

Verify mileage and service records: Ensure the odometer reading is accurate and major services were performed.

Factor in potential 'under the hood' repairs: Be prepared for some initial investment if buying at auction.
