Did you look at Harrison Glider truck. They were better then Fitzgerald. I don't see any Glider truck s on their website. They were building new Cascadia with rebuilt S60 from Detroit. So it had the three year Detroit factory warranty.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the input guys. Now I’m looking at Freightliner and international. I’m gonna give it a couple more years before I go and buy an egr, I might just wait til it becomes a law. The thought of paying 20k just for emissions parts repairs makes me nauseous, I could buy a completed reman engine for that much!
OldeSkool Thanks this. -
Would like to add that I’m looking at dd60 series, d12 Volvo, and n14. If you guys have anything useful to add I thank you in advance. Thanks for sharing the most reliable egr engine by the way.

You can't find that every day, but this truck has been a good one. My average monthly espense is between 4-500 dollars a month. That doesn't include maintanance like oil changes.
It's not pretty, but it was cheap and a good one which was exactly what I needed to get on my own.
It has the 14 liter series 60 detroit. The EGR was deleted when rebuilt. -

The Rewards for your Hard Work Will Come Your Way.especially when you know every nut and bolt on that truck.

So just to add, that amount is high, and presumes your replacing all the components with no core. With the emissions equipment comes additional maintenance requirements annual egr flush, change/clean sensors, mostly little stuff but it's important and so is not idling. I'd venture to guess that many of the folks having huge problems neglected the maintenance or purchased used and the previous owners did the neglect
