    At 225k +/-3k.

    Imagine putting 8k down plus 2k via credit card and the engine blows up.

    Which Freightliner?

    The passenger side steer on Casper almost fell off 200 hundred or so miles after I picked him up.

    Half the lug nuts weren't tight.

    Are they a Freightliner dealer or independent?

    Independent.

    I bought it thinking i had a warranty. Detroit did ever thing they could to prove I didn't deserve my warranty.

    Really a bad couple of months.

    I'm thinking should I try to trade this one in and get a new one......

    Yes. The gear housing is going to need done at some point.

    With you're talent you might be able to do that.

    But he's pretty bullet proof. And the main aftertreatment was done at Cummins and still under warranty.

    Brand new steers, and the drives are only a year old.

    New clutch, carriage bearing, motor mounts, and bell housing gasket. That's like the back 1/3 of a complete overhaul.

    These guys name their trucks & talk to them? Now that I think about it, there was a few times on the side of a rockpile in a controlled slide down a goat trail.....
