    I'm looking at several cascadias and all of them seem to have the 12 speed autoshift????
    I'm old school and don't know enouff about them. Are they problematic or ok?

    Not a lot of high miles out they yet. I think they have 750,000 miles warranty but sounds like they are expensive to repair of that even possible. People can replace the clutch,I read it was about $4,000. I read something about Detroit does not sell part for the transmission. Not sure if that’s is true.

    kinda like Volvo I shift not sure they repair the transmission if they go bad.

    I’ve got one,670k miles, no trouble.
    I’d advise changing oil/filter in transmission ever other year.

    I’ve had the truck for around 4 years

    I've heard a few people say that the DT12 has very few parts available to purchase and if it packs it in, new transmission time.
