    Half serious looking at a 2017 KW with a Paccar motor......

    I remember earlier/the first couple of years over here as being problematic for the Paccar engine.

    What have you all heard about lifespan for the newer generation motors?

    Yeah, play it smart. Make like it was nothing; you just knocked that out, no sweat. Might get you on permanent KP or at least DRO.
    Man can aspire to greater things and become multi talented.

    I bought a 16 paccar in December.
    This is week 3 it’s at KW shop for a misfire in cylinder 6.
    They can’t find a problem because it’s passed every test, injectors, lines all good.
    They’ve been back and forth with Paccar for 2 weeks now.

    The cascadia with dd15 is still going strong, though I’m driving the KW off to the right.

    Never been around them, but a wrench I know pretty well told me they are pretty pricey to fix/maintain if you can find parts

    Seems over the last while, you have purchased several trucks.
