    I own a 06 Pete 387 (or the bank allows me to use it as long as I pay my monthly share). I got the engine rebuilt in 2012 and during this week, I jumped into a 3 year old Cascadia which was a companytruck. I was glad as I got my 6 year old Pete back. No rattling and no squeeeeeeeeling anymore.

    Funny? Wanna hear a funny story about a freighshaker? It's so well built that the doors have gaps! Once I got off the truck with the key in my pocket, locked the door from the inside and climbed down, I shut the door close and the bottom smashed my pinky finger past the middle joint so that then my pinky was trapped inside the door and frame! Holding my breath in pain I reach to my right pocket with my left hand looking for the door key to unlock the door and pull the hatch to open it. Funnier thing was how I got the door unlocked and PAINFULLY had to pull the door latch HARD FIVE TIMES until the door finally opened. . Gosh I was PISSED!

    Just think if you had a KW that could not have happened. Well... Not all of it you could shut your finger in the door but not a locked door.

    We own three Kenworths and one freightliner, the newest KW is 17 years older than the freightliner and in my opinion in better shape.
