    Been driving them for 5 years....2 Cascadias and my current T680. I have never backed, lurched, bumped or scraped a truck, trailer, bollard, wall, or any other inanimate object. Never hit anything going forward either. What am I doing wrong?? Go ask Bruce for me. Lol

    Wow, struck a nerve with the 400/1650 crowd.

    Nice ride by the way.

    I would have killed for that much power 48 years ago when I was pulling milk.

    Did some transport later with a 500 855, but back with a 225 Cat did not leave much room for bragging at the dairy.

    Those X15's will run good after they're broke in but if it's the performance series engine you'll have to run it at about 1800 for it to do anything. The W900 I drove at my last job fell on its face at 1500 or under. Got to be a real pain after a while

    He's no longer with us. That attachment he posted had enough bad language in it to make a logger's ears bleed.
