    Understand that every manufacture seems to be having there problems with the new motors just wondering which manufacture is having the least problem with the SCR system and Regen.

    Just really having a time trying to make the decision on a glider or go ahead with new everything.

    if you don't plan on running an area that requires a EPA engine then go with a glider. Get a rolling glider kit so the only thing that isn't "new" is the engine and trans. If I was going to buy a new truck I'd go with a Coronado glider kit with a 12.7 series 60.

    I understand that Pete and Kenworth are now offering a Glider thinking in lines of the W900L with the 60 series DD1V. Don't really think I'll need the 18 speed but more of line of a 13 seeing I will be on the bottom side all the time. NO cal for me though.
