    Dieselfuelonly, are you leased to someone or do you have your own authority? I'm local to that dealer but the only dealer purchase I did was through the Greensboro location back in '97. That was a good buy, but I played them all the way.

    For what it is worth, we drove a T680. Really good truck. For a company driver, I prefer Kenworth or Peterbilt over Freightliner any day. As an owner, they do get expensive to work on. When a part for KW costs $200 more than the equivalent part for a Freightliner you understand why so many FLs are on the road. Over all, KWs are good quality trucks, but are not cost efficient to maintain. Our company hated sending us to an MHC to get work done. They would rather send us to a TA. They also were switching their trucks over to FLs. If you get a new KW under warranty, they may work.

    Arrow was good to work with . They offered to fix any problems free of charge within the first 60 days of purchase. Truck had a fresh pm and New tires . Tensioner bearing went out and during my Fed inspection a cracked brake show was found. They took care of it all no problems. Good luck every used truck is a gamble.

    O where o where do I start. Traded in my 04 w9 for a 2012 388. Very pretty clean truck. With a guarantee it would be road ready. Got it home and then it began. Everything that they claimed to have fixed wasn't. Ive had the truck now 2 months and yet to hook a load due to ghost electrical problems with the emissions system. Well today I find the problem is because the system has been gutted and deleted, then delete had been removed when mhc re flashed the ecm. Trying to cover it up I guess. Because legally they can't sell a tampered truck. Well of course they denied it. But I had all the history pulled and printed. Which shows everything. MHC is truly a joke. Took my $$ and gave me the finger

    Well this truck has truly been the biggest piece of #### I have ever bought. After tackling all the problems and still not to the finish line I have given up on it. MHC said they would get me a deal on the parts I needed @ over 12k. What a flipping joke. And of course they still lie and deny....
