    DD15.
    I drove for a company once that had 2012 Kenworth T660's with Cummins ISX and it always had emissions issues and also when something breaks Cummins parts can be a lot harder to find than the run of of the mill Detroit Diesel's, bro. I am an o/o now with a '10 Freightliner Cascadia and I like the DD15.

    Let me correct this for you. In 2009 every company and dealership had problems with DPF systems.

    Seriously, the problem was never the DPF system. It was lack of understanding the system. Once you know how a DPF works and how to take care of it, the system is a breeze.
