    I had a 2002 Coranado. the dash is the same as a CENTURY (I believe some of the Columbia's have the same dash, but most have that slate grey dash) and it was a good truck. It replaced the FLD and has the same wheelbase/frame rails as the FLD 120 had.

    Wish i would have bought one of these gliders, my 02 was good but threw a rod after 15k miles and Selectrucks just took it back and thats when I got my FLD

    Well after replacing turbo, turbo actuator, intake throttle valve, and full engine wiring harness, the guys at Detroit Diesel figuresd out the clutch switch was defective, so that was replaced and they replaced the ECM. So far iv only put 500kms on it but its smoother, quieter, and if it did a regen I didn't even notice!! I need to knock on wood... Hoioefully those problems are done and I can get the rest of the stuff that has taken a back burner to the regen issues sorted. I will report back on my mileage also I have 45000 lbs going to Schenectady delivers thurs am hopefully get it off tomorrow tho. Fingers crossed!!!

    So, what was the warranty cost of all the stuff it took to decide it was the clutch switch?

    Have no idea (and don't care) the cost, clutch switch fixed the intermittant cruise, jake and limiter problems, new ECM did not fix regen issues... still S#its the bed when doing a regen...... Detroit guys want it back again to try something else.:biggrin_2556:
