Any T680 Owners? Would love some feedback.

Good review. I opted out that table, because I thought that is a pain... I have had few rants about this touch screen and navigation. The shelf is the right size for the owner manuals.
The 0W30 is recommended only under 32F. The 15W40 for extreme heat. The main stream is the 10W30.

 

Brake drums on t680 are bigger than on volvo. old centramatic did not fit. Was forced to buy new one.





Water separator caused few unpleasant moment when "water in fuel" message appears.



What you think I was hauling last trip? Pigs? Other cattle?

 

I hope u get a good pay for the load.

 

Did u put centramatic on drive too?

 

Nope, Rawze said there is no benefit of it. I also suspect the same. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

I paid $230 to Blue Beacon to clean this mess out. And 1.5hr from my life too.

 

I have centramatic on drive ,but were on the truck when I bought.I did not see any improvement on tires.

 

Marker light seal is leaking. Water drop from CB to gearbox lever. Lol, but its sad actually.

 

I have water leak too. We do not know where from, because it pouring from under the dead pedal, but only when I start in rain. Once I hit the highway it stops. No water when I park either. Second time at Kenworth they said they found it, it was leaky seal under the mirror, but I did not have a chance to check it, because no rain...Just snow and ice. And always wet under the floor mat, because of my snowy shoe. And there is a hole for the accelerator pedal on the floor mat. Stupid idea. Probably, for the next winter I will order floor mats from Minimizer.

 

Don't you afraid pedal bottom will rub a hole in your new mats?

Further, 53000 gross from CA to AZ got this:



Looks like this is the only coolant compatible with factory pre-filled TRP (sticker on radiator frame says this).

Main advantage of this coolant is that there is no need to use SCA containing filters like Fleetguard WF2126. You can use simple WF2127, it has no chemical additives.
While Cummins manual clearly states that you MUST use SCA to restore coolant rust inhibitor ability, Rotella Ultra ELC brochure states its unnecessary. http://www.shell.com/rotella/products/anti-freeze.html
