    And that is whats so scary about it. I may just keep my truck for awhile longer, the used truck market I think will be a buyers market for at least another year. So I have time, maybe in that time I'll just keep my current truck as a back up truck and decide on a used or new one and if it craps out just hop in the ol' freight shaker and go make money.

    You guys are missing the point. Yes ALL engines have issues, after treatment is a nightmare of all of them. BUT... Every other manufacturer can eventually figure out what is wrong and fix it. It may be expensive, it may even put you out of business eventually but my situation is this, I have no idea if I will EVER get an answer to what is wrong with my truck. Many Paccar owners are in the same position, its bad enough when your truck is in the shop and they say "we can fix it but it will cost you $7,000"... But when they say "we'll keep your truck for a few weeks, hand you a bill for $7,000 and you'll be back in a week because we won't actually be able to fix it"... THAT is what Paccar is telling people.
    I keep hearing you guys say "I love my Paccar, it runs great". Yeah, if you are one of the people who have one that runs, congrats! BUT, if you ever have a serious after treatment issue, it will never be fixed. What will you say about your truck then?

    I'm not missing the point, and Im sure your frustration in justified. If it has caused such financial losses to you and headaches at what point do you cut or losses with the equipment and move on. It's the same question Im asking myself about my current equipment. If you think that paccar (cummins after treatment system) is the only system with those problems I'd say your mistaken in your opinion of the over all technology of the EGR and after treatment system with other manufactures.
