    A lot of drivers won't appreciate the difference, it's not till you start crawling under them or pulling stuff apart that you can really see where your money goes. My 5 year old kw's have less squeaks and rattles than 6 month old freightshakers.

    These are pictures comparing a kw and a Freightliner, both have the same engine and gearboxes

    This is where your money goes and I know which one I would rather work on

    I will find out tomorrow if I will be buying my first KW. Found a 1997 T800 with Cummins N14+ and 10 Speed. Puter shows 153k on the inframe. The dealership just got it in 30 minutes before I drove up! Just need to see what she will cost me. If I like the price she is mine!
