Message: [QUOTE="wiseguy, post: 1432421, member: 12141"] The most important issue with hours is life of an engine. typically we used to measure engine life in miles. problem with miles it does not take idle time in consideration for example an ambulance may only get a 50 miles a day but may run for several days straight. a 6.0 powerstroke only has a average lifespan of 7000hrs 6.6 lbz duramax may last 15,000hrs that may only be 20,000-40000 miles in an ambulance. but that could easily be 300,000-600,000 miles in an over the road truck. Engine life and maintenance should be measured in hours and miles. Another way to look at it is think of off road equipment like skid steer or loader or a excavator, you would want to know how many hours are on them you wouldn't care about miles. But if someone told you they had skid steer with 20,000 hours on it a equipment operator turn and walk away not even make an offer because they would assume it is all worn out . [/QUOTE]
