    I am not sure if they do at dealerships but an outfit called Fitzgerald sells freightliner glider trucks with pre emission detroits.

    You need to take that truck to the nearest dealership ASAP and have them find out why those check engine lights are coming on. If you wait too long it could void the warrenty. The ECM has a history in it that lists when the light came on.

    Hi, thanks we plan on taking it back to the dealership soon. It has already been there a couple times for various things. The biggest problem we have is there is a bad vibration in the clutch pedal even when the the tuck is parked at an idle. If you take up the free play in the clutch pedal it makes a grumbling noise and kicks back at you. Also, since new the clutch pedal has gotten very stiff to step on and the transmission shakes itself into neutral when you go over a bump in high range. This truck is about a year old and it gets greased every 10k, we shouldn't be having these problems. With that said, we are definitely having the dealer look at all those fault codes when it gets to the dealer soon. I don't know if anybody else has heard of similar problems?

    Do they make an aftermarket headlight bulb that's brighter than stock? I have a 2016 Cascadia. Looking for the manufacture of the bulb. Will need both low and high beam. Thanks

    Truck Lite makes LED headlight assemblies for the Cascadia. They supply Freightliner and Volvo, not sure how much it would cost you to switch? Be costly compared to upgraded bulb, but you'll have all kinds of light.

    You'll find something, sorry can't help more. Not really familiar with the Cascadia bulb types.
    I do have a guy that sells lights and he can match pretty much any incandescent bulb with higher power, LED or HID.
    So I'm sure there is something for you. If you get your bulb number I can ask him.
