Hello all I am in the process of looking at some different trucks to use to pull an auto hauler with living quarters. I have looked at all the different brands, I have narrowed it down to the T680 or 579, there are a lot of good buys on units with 200k to 500k miles and wanted to get input on what breaks or become a problem after they get some miles on them? I am sure the engines, trans, diff's are not a problem. The stuff I think about are computer gremlins and possibly anti lock braking parts, A/C stuff.

Also is it worth changing the rear end gears to 2.75-3.00 or whatever and also what is the biggest advantage to singling, other than the extra cost of tires, brakes etc?

Thanks for your input.
