    Idk how true it is, but I’ve heard rumors that they did that so that someone couldn’t buy a newer chassis and cab and throw an older motor in it. I guess the older engines won’t work at all with the digital dash. Again idk if it’s true or not but it would make sense since everyone is hung up on emissions

    Not a fan. If I was gonna buy a traditional hood where I don’t care what the purchase price is nor the efficiency then that truck would not cut it for me.

    It’s the same 5 series cab as the 579, 567, and the medium duty models but suddenly now it’s an IH cab. Lol.
