search shops that work for each engine. Just in case. What I hear, these new DD's have a better track record with reliability given the new technology. PACCAR comes a close second. Peruse the OO forums or the engine forums for consensus?
TennMan may return!!!!

Cummins is my choice followed by dd
TennMan Thanks this. -
I've had several mechanics tell me to run away from the PACCAR engines as fast as I can. Originally I wanted a Kenworth, but both one of the guys with me in orientation who used to be a mechanic along with a driver buddy of mine from my last company both said the newer PACCARs have horrible issues.
This is just what I've heard, I don't have any experience with them personally. But I don't have any complaints about my DD15. -

10 Speed

I felt the same..friend of mine has a 2014 KW T660 with a Paccar MX13..seems to be running well.
I know paccar had a lot of problems for awhile but so did cummins(EGR).
With his experience's and maintenance records I've decided to give the paccar MX13 a go.
Fuel mileage seems to be very good with 336 rears and a 13speed.
Plus it's ALOT lighter than the Cummins.
Just my .02 -

The only other color they had was platinum and it was ugly with the black side skirts. I was hoping for all one color but oh well and i wasnt getting a two tone truck atleast not those two tones. But you bring up a good point so now you got me wondering lol
poppapump1332 Thanks this. -
I have been driving Freightliner Cascadia's for the last 18 months..decent trucks..quieter than the Columbia's.
They ride pretty good,get good fuel mileage.
But there HAS to be life other than a freightliner..LOL!
Plus Schneider specs them like company trucks,if I'm going to pour a ton of money into something it will be something like I would spec myself.
Don't take this the wrong way..they both get the job done and really that's what counts.
Peace!TennMan Thanks this. -
SNI specs them to make them the most money andi'm trying to make the most money too lol.
Dogals right foot Thanks this. -

My orientation date has been moved up..4/28 will see me in Green Bay.
