    They don't have a new model on the ground. just the old models. I may be the first one ordering the new one.

    Oh ok so you spoke with them. I'm sure there should be a dealer here in the states that will do the same.

    I'm sure most will. they will just try and move the old ones first . cheaper to buy the old model.

    So....... Are they using a harness converter for the 12.7? I like the Casscadia midroof, but I was looking more at the Coronado since they're priced about the same. The Coronado seems to have more room to hang the hydropak and pump then the Casscadia.
    And I need the exhaust stack as opposed to the grass burner exhaust.

    I was also looking at the Coronado as I haul 140,000 and a 6nz would be real nice but I'd rather have the brand new style interior then one that matches a Columbia with those ######## cup holders that don't hold ####!

    ####ing Columbia always spilling my coffee!

    so a 14 series 60 it is for me.

    You can also order a powered glider and put in your own transmission and rears. That is the way I would go if I were to order a Detroit.

    I am running a 2016 Peterbilt with a Cat engine and 13 speed, made by Fitzgerald Gliders. I love this truck. 130,000 miles on it, not one hiccup yet. I really have missed having a cat, had forgotten how well they run.

    now your just toying with me....

    my 08 Peter with a c15 gave us so many issues, cost us so much money that my wife won't even let me consider Petes... and she's goty balls in her purse so......

    dream glider would be Pete 389 with c15 6nz or the c16. great on fuel pulling them heavy loads of geared right and 0 problems.

    a guys gotta have dreams.
