cadonnelly Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I went yesterday and bought a 610 with the Cummins ISX and auto shift. Drove it a bit, and it runs out nicely, no pulls or dog tracking, lots of brake life left, and likes 70 mph bob tail really well. Having the tach and speedo looked at before I buy, but other than that looks good. It is naked without skirts, may have found some on craigslist and will perhaps buy them tonight. Used the HDT check list to help spot things that needed looking at. The interior is clean, seats are leather, and the back of the bunk is vinyl. He had the computer reprogrammed a bit, took off the governed speed of 62 mph, and took off the idle shut off - not sure I would have done that. It has a bit of rust not a lot, and will be taking that off next week with a handy sand blast. So the fun has started, again, for the fourth time. Pictures when I bring it home.
