    Yes please don't, when I throw mine away in 15 years, I'll tell you all about it.
    I really like the KW680, but I don't want to bet my business on the MX or ISX engines. The DD15 is proven and has the least amount of issues. After all the engine and drive Tran is what gets you down the road.

    FL... Especially whatever their current megafleet truck, currently the Cascsdia, are built cheap... Really cheap. Doesn't take very long and everything starts to rattle and shake... "Freightshaker" is a well earned title.

    I can always count on you to be :hiding: my posts and then as soon as I say anything about the Crapcadia you pop out as the official Freightshaker [​IMG]
    :laughing5:

    What you can bet on is the Freightshaker's entire interior rattling apart and being rained on inside while it rains outside.
    I've been in 3 shakers and it was the same in each one.

    The Clutch failed and was under the Eaton warranty.
    I had Eaton 10 speeds in the Shakers I drove.
    Same brand.

    It had nothing to do with the Kenworth or the Kenworth warranty.

    Nice try trolling though.

    Sorry guys, didn't want to start a war here lol. Our schools cascadias are brand new and leased from Ryder...the highest mileage out of the three has 16k. They did just send one back for the third time for a leaking windshield...the first two times Ryder's solution was to use black silicone around the seals . Didn't know it was a common problem.

    Hey hey hey! Look more Shakers that give you showers inside while it rains.
    What a surprise.

    I wasn't joking when I said they're cheaply made throw away trucks and you'll get rained on lol

    FW what color is your KW?

    Is that the charcoal effect?
