Run a 95 379 with a S60 Detroit now - DDECIII, with Qualcomm Omnitracks ELD.

Find that old puppy and get to work.

Was it just plug and play? I have a 96 with DDECIII and im needing an eld. Did you have to get any special wiring/cables?

Nope - just plugged in to the J port.

Hello, after nearly a decade in the business and a million miles I've decided it's time to buy my own truck.

I've pretty well decided on freightliner but I have a few concerns. I initially was attracted to a glider kit with a ELD exempt D60 engine and a 13sp. But after researching some lease carriers I find that many of them require tractors that meet the ELD mandate. Which for the most part is fine I'd like to run e-logs but that means I can't run a pre emissions detroit engine. I know the newer DD15 gets great mileage but I worry about longevity and reliability as I'll be buying used. So my question is what is my best option for an engine that is ELD compliant whilst doing my best to avoid all the emissions crap. I suppose I can live with a EGR but want to avoid DEF altogether. Thanks.[/QUOTE

I got a 2020 Coronado Glider running Eld Keeptruckin, works like a charm on my 12.7 you will be fine if you choose to run a pre emission truck and ELD. Best of luck whatever you end up buying. ( I strongly recommend a glider truck though )

Thanks for all the replies. What version of DDEC is required to run say a modern omnitracs / qualcomm eld system?

My DDECIII runs Qualcomm and ISAAC no problem.
