I'm buying a ex-US Express 587 in a week. It has the Bendix system. Is it going to be difficult to remove or should I not mess with it?

Just turn it off. Or pay a dealer to turn it off. Quicker. Otherwise you're going to have to remove the radar unit from the bumper and then turn it off anyways because it'll throw faults because it can't locate the radar.

Can you ask them to disable the system as a condition of the sale?
KB3MMX and Intothesunset Thank this. -
Not sure about freightliner but on my Volvo they will not remove the system as it is tied into the ABS cruse control as well as other system. I just unplug it and roll. It dose show a check light but I can live with that.

That system is tied into the cruise control which is run by the engine ECM. It has to be disabled in the ECM and ABS systems. Since you are downgrading a safety feature, there is too much liability that the dealer could be responsible for should you get into an accident. So I wish you luck in finding someone willing to take that risk. Waivers mean nothing anymore.
