    otherhand, after your lease is up the bugs should be all taken care of
    just a thought.

    I would definitely bring that up to because if there was evidence of negligence lets say they try and blame you,then that service so soon ago would debunk that theory..

    I agree with MR, I was always hesitant on the mx engines, from the little research I've done the dd15 seems like the best def engine. But FW after you get the bugs out over the remaining 18 months, it might be a good truck.

    It's not your new truck it's that pos pacar motor and that's what the vast majority of them are, garbage.

    I believe @freightwipper has a Cummins in his KW.

    You might want to double check. I thought if you were already leased on already, you could lease on an older truck.

    That's one of the most ridiculous things I've heard.
    THERE IS NO EXTRA WARE AND TEAR DOING SHORT HAULS AND DROPPING AND HOOKING NUMEROUS TIMES A DAY.

    man, sorry to hear about your troubles, Whipper.
    My plan was to lease a used truck for 2 years and the buy it out at the end of the lease; so, I worked my plan. My thinking was, I'll know everything that's wrong with this truck, and will have repaired it all, in 2 years. So, I got lucky and I was right for the first time in my life.
    Lots of other guys said they wanted a warranty......I said, warranty don't mean much when you're parked in a motel in West Virginia for a week or more.

    Good luck, brother. My advice; hang with it. By the time you run your lease out, you will have broken just about all you can break.
     
    freightwipper and T_TRUCKER. Thank this.
