    Did Pete ever make a pre-emission truck with Detroit engine? I'm looking for a 387 or other "aero cab" with Detroit 12.7. My current truck is 08 Century with DD15, and it truly sucks. Fuel, I mean. Also not much power. After lots of searching it looks like for aero cab 12.7 the choice is pretty much Century or KW T2000 and I can't see over the dash in a KW. :biggrin_25512:

    I'm hoping I have missed something.

    Thanks!

    Not sure , but I wish I had a pre-emission model myself. Got a '08 388 daycab with a C15 POS in it, and when it's working right it gets down the road. However, the #### DPF (diesel particulate filter- pre-DEF fluid) sensors have had me in the shop 4 times in the past 3 months, and just started acting up again today!!! ARGHHHH!!!!!

    I hate the T200 and the 389 I believe it is. Horrible dash, too many blind spots, heavy, poorly designed. No thanks.

    T2000 and 387 are the cousins you are thinking of.
