    Detroit = less expensive

    If buying Volvo get a Cummins good engines, a little more expensive to fix, Caterpillar = THE BEST. But EXPENSIVE to fix......2007 and before = No DEF or DPF......EGR can be handled.....Volvo, Mack are a crapshoot, can be great engines, but expensive to fix and not many mechanics work on them......

    Buy a 2008 and newer truck at your own risk....If 2007 make dammed sure it's not a DPF engine as the engines built later in 2007 have DPF.....

    Do this at your own peril. DEF and/or DPF = EXPENSIVE, FREQUENT BREAKDOWNS.... last warning.....read all over this forum and you'll get similar advice....Kiswani bought 10 Cascade's...09's at any point in time 3 are in the shop and 2 are parked all broken down.... can't be clearer than this....

    Extended warranty is worthless, i bought one, they only pay what they know won't likely break...

    Once I had the dpf fixed permanently, I haven't had a single regen issue..........i wouldn't hesitate to buy an 09-10 dpf truck Detroit our Cummins. If you get the issue taken care of, they run just like the old days with better fuel mileage.
