    I just talked to two mechanics. One was at a peterbuilt shop. Both told me dont do it. Only stick with Cummings or detroit

    Wasn't 2011-2012 is when they started switching over to DEF instead of the diesel injection stuff in the DPF?
    I had a 2011 with a Cummins that did not use DEF and the DPF kept having problems....
    That and the fact it is a Paccar engine would scare me away..

    There is a reason they stopped making the 700 so fast. Isn't there?

    Ridgeline if you're a Landstar agent PM me. As it stands today I can't work with Landstar, like at all, because I can't trust them as far as I can throw them. This frustrates me because I'm aware that behind the curtain (made of terrible landstar agents I wouldn't trust to book a load of packing peanuts) there are a ton of small fleet owners and quality owner ops.

    If you want a EPA10 truck with a Detroit,then the only option is a Freightliner.
