    I have a 2019 579 Pete that has had the engine emission light on for a year. Every service they clear the code & it comes back on in a day. The truck is 2yrs old with 280K miles & runs 20hrs per day. It goes through 4 to 5 gallons of DEF per day but rarely does a regen at least on my shift. The fuel milage is in the mid 5's when it should be in the mid 6's. But hey I'm not the owner

    yea I’m still here. All the 379s are gone except for a few small sleeper local trucks. The first bactch of 389s we got back in 15 are getting some miles on them I’m sure.

    I see Monson all the time. We run from KC to Des Moines a lot and they burn up I-35. Really good lookin trucks I’ve always wondered about them. Good info in this thread. @pusherman where did you find that avatar photo? It’s cool, I like it.

    Pusherman,

    Hi! I'm seriously thinking about going with Monson. I've chatted with Tasha, but I need solid updated info.

    Please tell me all the good, bad and the ugly. Or PM me....

    Thanks

    those gliders were new when they built them, not bought from someone else. Monson stays on top the maintenance, if there are issues and you let them know, they will take care of it quick
