    Which of these would you choose and why?
    387 with cummins or CASCADIA DD15
    Same miles. Same years. Etc. The 387 is 5k cheaper


    THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

    Both could be emission nightmares

    How much MPGs less would you expect with a 387

    The aerodynamics should be about the same. When they came out with the Cascadias it looked to me like they copied the looks of the 387 to some extent.
    I don't know about the difference in the Cummins vs the Detroit.
    I've owned a 387 in the past and would recommend one over a Freightliner any day as far as the quality goes. A 387 is not built as well as a 386 or a 379 but it's better than a Freightliner.

    Does anyone know the weight difference.
    I've heard some bad things about the 2010 cummins. Is that true??

    thanks
