    I slip seat, so I'm in a new truck every week. So far every truck I've been in was rev limited to about 1100rpm in 1st-3rd, 4th-9th gear rev limited to 1300rpm.

    Weird. Mine gives off a warning if I rev it past 2500, but that's about it

    I asked Schneider for full maintenance records. My mechanic checked out their trucks too and passed them.

    I am very scared about purchasing a 2011-2012 emissions truck

    Who was the Cascadia used by before? I'd be leaning towards that Glider. I love my Series 60 motor.

    Cascadia used by TransX

    Will be checking out some more Cascadia next week. Less milage and less price. DD15

    If the engine is rev limited at 1300rpm, that is abuse. Lugging the engine is harder on it than running at max rpm.

    Bump!

    Both the ECM reports on the reports look good. Looked at another Cascadia from Penske which is selling for $10,000 less then the Glider.
    Still can't make my mind on which one to go for.
