    Starting a new job Monday and they have KW T680's. Anything I need to watch out for maintenance-wise? Anything else?

    Have always been in Freightliners up to this point

    Pretty decent truck. Just keep the coolant temps below 210 if the company equipped it with a manual fan override switch. Truck tends to wait a little longer and it’ll start spilling some of the coolant thru the overflow hose then you’re wondering if she’s eating coolant but can’t find any evidence of it.
