    I don't know that they have many Maxxfarce Prostars left. I have been seeing a whole lot of new mid-roof Cascadias at many of the terminals lately. You may be in luck...except all the new Freightliners have the DD13 instead of the DD15

    As long the 13-liter "Dee-troit" isn't choked down like the MinnForce, forcing me down to 1500rpm when I'm trying to climb a hill, I don't care how many liters it is.

    It's a Crete truck. They don't use real horses...they use Shedland ponies to measure horsepower. You can bet it'll slow down if it only see's a hill.

    Aw, go ahead, unload a little...it'll release some pent up stress. If you hold it in...you're BP will break the machine the next time you check it.

    68 m p h ?????? How come during my time with Schni, driving at 65 mph I always passed Crete (and swift and prime)??? Are you team driving? maybe an IC???? I was told Crete is 60mph on cruise control and 63 mph on the pedal? how can I verify this?

    I think he's talking about Poly with the 68MPH trucks and so forth. Crete is 62 on the peddle and it seems weird but maybe 61 on cruise. I say this because when I floor it the truck seems to increase speed a tad:dontknow:

    Steal a Crete truck and see how fast it will go.

    My Cascadia gives the same impression, but it'll do 62 either on cruise or pedal. Every blue moon, I can get 63 out of it. But it's usually short-lived, as I'll have to brake for someone gettin' on the highway.....

    Just started our 36 hour camp at the Love's near downtown Houston. 07:00 delivery Monday morning about 10 miles away. Can't get a reset either. Thank You so much Obama.
