2018 Cascadia Issues and Tips - General Use

My problem with the late model 2018 and 2019 frightliners are there's no factory air conditioning vents for the top bunk. Team driving in summer the top bunk is an oven. My company had to modify our trucks to put a vent up there but the blower is weak.

Also, if you turn your wipers on low or high, it auto disengaged your cruise control and you can't turn it back on until you turn off wipers or set them to intermediate.

Another thing, the removed our junk drawer. It's just a tray with no storage. Who thought that was a good idea?

 

Freightliner bunk a/c has always sucked.

 

well I have no water leaks knock on wood but I have brake sensors that go on and off and low coolant shut off comes when I'm idling. shop can't figure either out. sensors have all been replaced new cap, any odeas?

 

My truck did that when I got it. I took it to the dealer, after two tries we got it fixed.
It is a setting that can only be changed will the dealer software.
The choices are to kick off the cruise when : the lights are on, the wipers are on, the 4 way flashers are on, or any and all combinations of the three. The last option was disabled. Which we picked at first, but that just disabled the cruise entirely.
So I went back and they set it to kick off the cruise with the four way flashers only. Since, if I have those on, I’ve probably got more important things to worry about then the cruise. Worked fine after that.

 

My first company truck was 2015 cascadia, and it once had an issue where the roof insulation had become detached, and condensation would form on the metal where the insulation had been, and then run down to the visor area and pour out during turns, either from above the windshield or above one of the doors. I'm told water can also drip from these same places due to a windshield leak, but this would dump a lot of water, and the repair involved emptying and removing all the cabinets, visor cubbies, and interior lining, in order to replace the roof insulation with thicker pieces that would sandwich flush between the roof and liner so they couldn't fall off and leave a gap for condensation to form.
