I have a 2014 Evo and like Tennman's, it's a non governed company spec'd truck with that dang onguard system with a diesel apu. It had 27k on it when I got it a little over 2 months ago and now has 50k. Have not had any problems with the truck so far[knock on wood] did have my apu worked on within the first 3 weeks I had it. Just a software bug in it. Specs on mine is Detroit DD15, 10 spd, 2:64 gear ratio and I avg. about 7.5 mpg with quite a bit of light loads with a few 40k loads sprinkled in, but I'm working on the mpg because I run 65 mph minimum and every once in awhile 75. 8 mpg plus is not hard to get in these trucks, but they are nothing special, just a cascadia, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. I may upgrade at the end of the year, but then again I may keep it. Still have 10 months to worry about that.

You don't need an expensive truck to start out with. I have a '06 international 9400 automatic, no bells or whistle. I treat my truck as a work truck. I keep it clean an get the maintenance done. I have no fridge, TV , CB, or APU.
knuckledragger, Jar-Head and Dogals right foot Thank this. -
If you are looking to purchase eventually do yourself a favor and buy a pre dpf engine! Save yourselfs the money and headaches. If you can, get a pre egr engine. Realize, you may not be able to pease onto Schneider with an older setup.
knuckledragger Thanks this. -
The only problem with a non C.A.R.B compliant truck is the North East region states are already trying to copy CA with it's laws and a non compliant truck can't go into CA and soon it'll be that way in the North East and that's where the money is in the North East.
