    There's probably no less than 5,000 used trucks with the drive train you are seeking available right now.

    Why would you open a can of worms when you don't need to?

    I just had my APU rebuilt, and a brand new OEM DPF put in Casper.

    I've been wanting a brand new truck. Wanna buy Casper?

    $48K not a penny less.

    Thanks for everyone’s responses.I will stay away from that truck.The kitty under the hood was one of the biggest reasons why I was considering it.My brother has the same motor in his 07’ Freightliner and that truck hauls 120,000 lbs 18-24 hrs a day and has been trouble free besides a few sensors.

    C'mon JD these guys are right: that's why after every major car and truck show you see the news about hundreds of people getting 10 years in prison a piece, and paying millions in fines.
    Like that Carlisle, PA car show that hundreds of thousands of people attend~ remember last year when the national guard came in and arrested 40% of the participants and shipped them off to gulags and seized all their assets to pay millions of dollars worth of fines? C'mon, you remember that don't ya? happens every single year at every single car truck or motorcycle show.




    Man, I'm glad the sky doesn't fall when I'm around. JFC

    Those guys in PA were turned in by there competitors. Said so right in the original article I read. Something about not being able to compete against them because they didn’t have emissions on there trucks so they were operating “unfairly” against a company that had emissions trucks, bidding for state jobs.

    What a joke.

    I wouldn’t be afraid of running TUNED truck as long as I stayed out of California and manufacturer dealers. Don’t think I’d be a problem anywhere else?

    Obviously I wouldn’t put stait pipes on a 2018 and come rumbling into town with the jakes on kill. Put it in stealth mode and I don’t know how anyone in the public would know the difference?

    Yeah I can be a bit of a renegade....

    Notice no anti spill spout?

    Not saying I would delete a truck just for the sake of it, but........

    What’s the difference if I just keep driving my 2001 truck, buy a 2018 glider or delete a 2014 truck? All the same in my book? Other than what some bureaucrat has his assistant write on a piece of paper those 3 things are exactly the same.

    I quit being scared of the boogie man (government) about 8 yeas ago when I realized they create more and more laws they will never be able to enforce.

    texting and driving.... HA!!! What a joke. Most of the cars speeding past me all day long including cops have cell phone in hand. They will never be able to enforce that law unless they kill someone.
