    Any one had good experience with the 2011 Peterbilt with the ISX?
    I'm going to choose between the Pete with the ISX or the 2011 Frieghtliner with the Detroit.
    Any feedback on the emission problems or lack of will be greatly appreciated

    Those choices are one of the worst years for Post Emission Trucks.

    If you don't have a need to go to Commie-fornia, get a Pre-Emission Truck and fix it up little by little, or buy a used Glider.

    Your wallet and you will thank yourself later.

    Do you know the specific model isx? For 2011 it could've been a cm871 (no def) or a cm2250 (def). Either would have their drawbacks and good side's but I'd take that over the detroit. If you get one that has no problems to start with they can be fairly simple to maintain and stay on top of.
