    I'm driving a newer Freightliner now. Has a DD15 engine. And whatever auto trans. I have to say it backs beautifully. Nothing like that 579.
    I have to say, because of the electronics. It is a little higher quality than the 579. The 579 had super cheap electronics everywhere. It still ain't no Volvo. Am very happy with it.

    WOW I thought the rubber seals would fix that problem

    The cabs must have some give in them if the rubber seals are leaking. I have never had one leak unless the seal itself was bad from changing them too much.
    I had to change the seal in my international after a lot of windshield changes, and the one in my KW was wore through the last time I had to change a windshield, there was not one available here, so I went ahead and used the old one, but it did leak, so I bought a new one, but didn't get around to changing it before I wrecked it. lol
