    Who ever the nit wit is that decided the heated mirrors should be on a timer should be hung, stretched, opened up, deballed and quartered. Give us a continous option for the heated mirrors so that we don't have to be turning them on constantly through out the day to keep them from fogging up etc.

    I have a problem with my 2013 on drawing fuel off the drivers tank. Had it at the dealer, they said they fixed it.Tanks started leveling off for a few days, now back to the same thing, on my last fillup passenger tank only took 50 gal. and drivers tank took 90. Also fuel gauge reads 7/8 after i fill it up never eads full. Any advice?

    I just turned the valve on passenger tank about 30%, as someone said to do earlier. See if that makes a difference

    My new one doesn't have valves that I can shut down. I just live with it. Got sick of sitting at the nearest Peterbilt dealer for hours and hours and nothing gets fixed. Freaking junk. Oh and now the right side exhaust is leaking fluid all over the steps on the right side and has completely stained them. Yippy for this freaking junk!!!!!

    Sorry . Their quality has fell , while everybody else got better. They joke about the cascadia , but not quite two years old and 300k , it's rock solid . Great build quality.

    The boss bought a bunch new cascadias with the 505 detroits. Many of them have been problem childs. All this emission stuff leaves them sitting more then moving.
