All things considered are you happy with your truck? I’m looking at roughly the same model with Cummins 400, 372,000 miles. Only drawback is it’s an auto shift.

If you are in 1623, that's the loaner I had. Good truck, steers harder but runs well. Good luck DR!IH9300SBA, DonRobbie and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

Pulled out of town yesterday and delivered to the new J&C facility here in Wilmer, TX. Got loaded with more toys at the same place going out to Savannah probably for first thing Wednesday morning
IH9300SBA Thanks this. -
Roaming around SD today. Dropped at Sioux Falls and just picked up in North Sioux City. Heading to Edwardsville IL then back to Blare NE.
Never knew there was a Dollar General DC in Blair NE. I sure hope they aren’t expecting Driver to Unload… lolIH9300SBA, motocross25, BigR and 1 other person Thank this. -
By the way, anyone seeing the new setup from Starlink? It’s a small all self contained receiver that runs on low power DC or even USB-C PD.
It’s like 12”x10” and the receiver and WiFi 5.x is all inside.
Seeing Campers, Hikers, RVers and the like talking about it but thinking it might make for a good Truck option. Mount it on back where they mount the Satellite Dish, and only one power cable coming inside… and done.
I’m seriously looking at it. Price is a bit steep but might be a good replacement or addition to a Cellular option.dwells40, IH9300SBA, cdavis188 and 1 other person Thank this. -
It’s not a terrible place. The worst part is if they don’t have a door for you and turn you around all the spots in their lot are angled the wrong way. The one time I got turned around and had to wait an hour or so I slid my tandems all the way back while I was waiting so I could turn left and not have to worry about tail swing.IH9300SBA and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

I don't have much issue with T-Mobile out here on the road, but have starlink at home it's great.
Knucklehead, IH9300SBA and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this. -
For what I paid for it, I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of it. I’ve spent several thousands of dollars at Pittsburgh power getting it to where it is now. My 30 day average is 8.6 mpg, but I only run about 67 mph. On my current trip I’m light, and getting 9.1 mpg.
I’m considering trading this in in the next few months, I might go with another International or Cascadia, either one properly speced will make you money.dwells40, IH9300SBA, MidWest_MacDaddy and 1 other person Thank this. -
My cascadia has been running good but she averages 7.5 and I run at 68-70 usually.
IH9300SBA and runningman0661 Thank this. -
I've got a Winegard satellite antenna mounted on the back it only has one coaxial cable that goes into the cab from there actually just had to replace it this past weekend they usually last a couple years. Don't know about the starlink stuff but if you have DirecTV at home and can get your hands on an old receiver not one of the Genies you can use your own home TV while on the road and they don't know about it without having to pay a separate accountIH9300SBA, MidWest_MacDaddy and rokue Thank this.
