Yes I have the mighty big Cam and I could not be happier.

I have never had to wait more than one day or so for parts for my truck or my engine.

But I will say that I do see trucks idling constantly all the time everywhere I go for hours and hours and even days at a time just idling.

I don't understand why in this day and age of APUs and generators I see not just some trucks but the vast majority of them Idle constantly in all types of weather.

Emissions engines in general are problematic but that's just one more thing that makes it worse.

I know a driver that their shipper requires the truck not be turned off when it has their cargo on it (and the shipper has a satellite tracker on the tractor )
, but after idling all night , they do a manual regen first thing in the morning , every morning , before they hit the road . And they change the oil every 10k miles .
