Not really the cascadia has both a trip and leg meter. So I reset my trip meter every week, and the leg meter I reset every time I fuel the tanks completely full then I all I have to do is read the pump to see how many gals I pumped and compare with the the trucks ecu reading of how many gals I burnt and I know whether or not the ecm is correct. It always is.
Series 60 vs. DD15.Which one do you prefer ?

What he said was pretty much put down 30 grands and drive a brand new truck with the warranty and the money he save from fuel goes to the payment. Less headache on repairs. Looks good when pull onto the scales. When the truck paid off ,it should be right around 500,000 miles and then he will sell it for 30k-40k then get the new truck again. I am not sure the way he is doing is right or wrong but he seem to be happy with it.
P.S. I am trying to get information as much as I can before making the decision.This is my first truck (I paid him cash for $20,000) and getting a brand new truck is a big deal for me. Thank you everyone for your opinion.Last edited: Mar 13, 2016

My service manager provided the following tidbits to me:
-dd15 is freightliners most expensive engine to maintain
-85% of their work is emissions related
-the mega carriers keep rows of dpf filters at their shop. They can swap and get the driver rrolling, then bake them at their leisure. Keeping that kind of stock on hand is an indicator.
I drive an ‘O8 series 60 14l. Tuned to 550 hp and possibly some other work. It runs and runs. Fuel economy sucks, but maint. Costs are low.
