    Lol! Rawze you made the mistake of questioning the superiority of the Cowpie Super Spec'd Glider. Don't you know that it surpasses all other trucks on the road in power, fuel economy, and comfort???

    This thread is going in a very negative direction tht isnt necessary

    I drove for a company last yr. For 10 days had medical issue had to quit

    Anyway I drove one of there trucks for less then a week it had to be towed from friend,ne to Lincoln,ne

    It went into reduced power mode because of tht stupid emission crap

    really for me I prefered to choose detroit. Unfortunatly I'm limited in use of this truck here becouse it is of pre EGR emission level with old injectors (my is Euro-II certified), but I use it to haul to Russia and this engine is one of the cheapest to fix and maintane.

    N14 Celect Plus ECMs sometimes fail. They throw 111 fault code (it is bad software code, internal ECM fault) and I use to change flash memory inside and put calibration. Seems to me it is related with too cold conditions and cold starts, jump starts....

    yes, and the newer ECM's will do it too, if that little protection diode is removed from the truck batteries by a stupid mechanic.
