    My friend drove for 15 years, and recently passed from a lung ailment related to mold. His 2016 Freightliner PX125 was always wet in the cab. Do any of you all know if this is a problem with these guys? Thank you.

    I had a Freightliner Century class that leaked so bad around the windshield that I made rain gutters out of tin foil that channelled it away from me and the fuse box. Freightliner solved the problem with the fuse box by making a plastic cover the exact shape of it to protect it...as for me, they didn't care if I got wet. Freightliners are known for being as water tight as a pasta strainer.

    I have zero physical facts, but I know of a FL dealer that had a few 12/13 new that took forever to sell and the mechanics claimed they had to give them away after re sealing every seam in the body to keep water out.
