    I wish I could find a mechanic like that. Half the mechanics I go to still refuse to even work on cascadias, they are still treating them like some new unusual thing instead of literally the most common truck out there.

    Back on the road. Freightliner installed some kind of an updated little part inside of my one box that reduces accumulation of d e f, then they regened and the codes cleared.

    I like this little Freightliner in DuBois PA. They got me in right away when they opened, and had me out four hours and $700 later. That's pretty #### good by Freightliner dealer standards, I was expecting to be stuck there all week and be $5,000 poorer at the end.

    I am also a fan of the small Freightliners. The Truck Center in Springfield Illinios ( they have like 3 locations ), McCoy's in Oregon ( also think 3 ) have been very good to me. The one near Fountain, CO blows though, can't think of name, it's next to The Tomahawk truck stop.

    they installed DEF awning inside of one box. but wait why they charged you $700? it must be free because freightliner had special recall for it. one of my friends got letter 2 years ago about that awning and dealer installed it for free.

    Well, hmm. Maybe I don't like that little freightliner so much anymore.

    your engine is GHG14. There are important software updates for you engine. Find time and ask dealer to update them. they will charge you 2 hours of labor for it.

    And what do I do if the SPN 4364 FMI 18 disappears within that time frame but the light stays on? Asking as a company driver...
