    Ill get a pic of the dash up here, the passenger seat is not air ride, my dog rides there most of the time, my kids are older and dont ride with me anymore. I could always get an air ride seat without the swivel if I need it down the road.

    I agree Captain Dave, ive driven a 2013 and a 2015 cascadia for the last 4 years and never had a def problem, only one bad fuel pump, and one really bad experience caused by water in my fuel from the pilot in Brooklyn, Iowa a month ago. Injectors, fuel pump, fuel module, tanks taken off and cleaned out, but that was not the fault of the truck. That new cascadia that will be out next year looks nice, table /booth in the sleeper, better front suspension, etc.

    Not too bad..lots of room for your dog to lay around.
    Let us know how the auto performs.
    TennMan was looking to get one sometime back.

    I plan to run the midwest so I think this setup would get better fuel milaege than the 13 speed with 3.36 rears. This auto is the eaton fuller advantage 10. Has 2.64 rears. It wouldnt set any speed records but ive been reading good things about the economy of this setup. What kind of fuel milaege are you guys getting with the 13 speed? Im still trying to decide if I want to pony up the $5000 for the higher spec or $1000 for the auto. Im going to try to look at them in Green Bay on monday morning if Mike Tisch has some free time. Thanks everyone for your input!!!

    Fuel economy was great when I had mine..7-8 mpg..running around the Northeast.
    Higher when in the midwest..I think you'll be fine.
    Good Luck at orientation.

    Paccar trucks are great trucks... It's just the paccar engine that sucks
