    Just got 3 new T680s and the headlights on all 3 are way out of adjustment, factory use to sort of dial them in and the dealers predelivery inspection include a check over but now its slam them in and good to go

    The kind of money you'd spent the least your dealer could have done was take care of the small stuff.

    Today all they want to do is make sure the check is good and get the trucks off the lot. FREIGHTLINER did a much better PDI on the 3 CASCADIAS I bought last year when KW could not give a possible delivery date on T680's.

    Other than a emission light light which takes 10 hrs to go out once tripped on bumpy sections of roads maybe once a month .. It's a pretty decent truck turns sharp, very quiet, and good predictable road manners . Only thing I dislike is the table it's always in the way it seems... Another annoying thing is if you trip trailer abs light on a rough road you have to shut truck off to clear light even though problem is gone

    Just picked up a 2015 on Thursday and heading back east from Iowa. Compared to my old t660, well their isn't any. Still getting used to the auto(my first), otherwise no complaints.

    112,000 on the ODO.
    So far so good.
    Drained oil from gearbox and axles, filled fresh synthetic Mobil blend
    changed gearbox oil filter (my custom option)
    changed air dryer cartridge (past due, - mechanic strongly advised to change it every 6 months)
    changed antifreeze filter (part # ended 27, no chemical additive)
    changed oil and fuel filter (routine)
    FS2500 shows consistent good results (changed oil twice for 112,000 mi) - see pic
    changed steer tires (Michelin XZA3+ instead of stock Bridgestone) - $1000 installed (screw truck stop shops)
    made alignment for the first time (see pic) - $200 (screw truck stop shops)
    adjusted brakes
    Thermoking TriPac rocks

    thanks.
