- Oilfield workers buying or maintaining diesel pickups
- Worth noticing
- A fleet mechanic explains why 61,000 miles can hide much higher engine wear when a truck has spent long hours idling.
Field notes
The buyer says the truck sat at a lender yard in Midland and that the listing included more than 50 photos, an idle-hours cluster display, underside images, and a cold-start video. A mechanic who says he has turned in hundreds of fleet trucks adds checks for caliche-packed filters and a possible DEF heater code. The delivery terms are reported by the buyer, not independently verified here.
