I think the DD15 is happen to be an excellent engine, but Freightliner is not so. As I realized they are not even trying to build a strong O/O trucks. I believe the Cummins ISX is a very good engine and you can buy it in very good trucks. By the way, based on my calculation from the industry analysis numbers, almost half of the Daimler trucks sold with Cummins engine too. I am pretty sure too, to switch to Paccar MX is only a marketing deal from Paccar, not because the DAF engine would be any better.
Any T680 Owners? Would love some feedback.

The company I work with got three or four 680's late last year to play around with and I got to look inside one that a driver returned after 32,000 miles. The interior was very clean (detailed) but the build quality was very poor from what I saw. The side of the cabinets behind the driver seat already had a seam split up near the top and the panel behind the TV mount in the passenger side was hanging around the mount itself. The fridge was a joke (seriously, measure the cubic inches of what they call a freezer when you look inside one). The driver complained about the pulling power with the MX engine. The swivel table thing in back looked better / more functional in the brochure than in real life. All told, a disappointment.
TULY007 Thanks this. -
Agree, with all of it::::::didn't like/pay for the table,TVmount,((optional/$$$$)))...i had to go with the small fridge since it was the only option,..about the MX :::total unknown, i went with ISX485

Well Drivers its been sometime that I have replied to anyone ! My truck now has 26,800 miles its doing great fuel avg is 7.8 I have seen as high as 9.2 with light loads ! no more issues with emissions ! my sweet spot is running 65 mph tach is 1320 ! as far as the fridge yes it is a disappointment with it designed ! the table is okay but a pain when trying to access lower drawers ! But I am asking has anyone with the Navplus system ! when trying to input an address and after you get it set does they system crash and reboot it self and the other issue is with the SiRUIS satellite does it lose satellites under blue skys with no obstructions for 2-3 seconds
