    No, those things broke down all the time also.
    Point of me wanting a new truck is I didn't want to be dealing with problems and now I'm dealing with problem after problem and they are getting worse.

    Like 18 months...
    If issues continue I'm going to be walking away from this truck.

    I need to reevaluate what I'm going to do.
    Goal is to have a reliable truck, thought going new would be the answer. So far it hasn't.. which is very bad when you're paying $1100 a week.

    Have seen that in my Pete, I have ended up with a complete new after treatment wiring harness and a new sensor in the def system. Paccar has very cheap wiring harnesses.

    Sucks, good luck man...Maybe you can get on with LS or Mercer and spec a glider...

    Yeah, that is ****ed! I have a buddy that is a mechanic for UPS...he hates ALL the EPA07 and up trucks. They have old Macks and some older 12.7 Detroits with over a million miles on them that run like tops. He just got 6 T680 day cabs with the MX13 and Eaton Ultrashift 10s and said they are nightmares. If I decide to go with Schneider if things ever pickup, I'll be doing a one year on a new Cascadia...if it proves profitable, a glider is the only way I will go on a long term purchase.

    Looked into it and if you get a glider they require it to be EPA 07 compliant
