    If you ever get to Vancouver BC the guys at Cullen Diesel Power (Detroit/ Allison) are the best shop I've ever dealt with and their diagnostic skill is amazing. They never throw parts at the problem. They find the problem and then fix it.

    with engine running brakes set and wheeels chocked get your mechanic to climb under truck and try to wiggle engine harnesses to see if he can make motor cut out . my 2009 needed a harness it went to different shops 9 times until i lucked out and broke down near a shop that knew cascadia's well they change 6or7 harnesses a week. BTW there was a recall on window gaskets on windshield upgraded ones dont leak u will need to get computers under dash checked and fuse box for water damage

    I got my trucks few days ago from the dealership
    one of the biggest things they have changed is the turbo
    but I'm still having poor mpg it's about 4.6 now hauling 40k
    please if anyone have any idea as to what I should do next
    do I just take it to the Detroit? Freightliner assured me my truck
    is running fine yet 4.6 is far from fine.

    The company I work for uses Valley Power Systems, specifically the Ontario shop:

    http://www.valleypowersystems.com/ontario.html

    They have a few locations around the So Cal area though.

    Edit: Also to add, the windshields leaking is definitely a major problem, I just had to call out Safelite to reseal a windshield on one of our newer trucks. The design on these windshields was supposed to be "the next best thing", but instead they just leak constantly. We have had at least 3 or 4 trucks that have had wiring shorted out from water pouring through the windshield area.
