    This is why I took the downgraded Cascadia. I wanted a Pete sooo bad, but all the research said to get a dd15.

    Yup that sucks.. I found that the hard way back in Feb. My truck broke down in Tobyhanna. The fuel sensor went out. Lucky, when it happen it was right outside the gate at Genco. Sni, let me drop the trailer their and the yard dog took it back in. I didn't have to pay for a relay fee. If not I would had to pay for relay and two tow trucks. Don't let this discourage you, its part of the game. I been towed 3 times since I owned my truck. Never been down more than 24hrs.

    This tow truck companies are making a killing with all these broke down trucks.
    Tow driver told me 90% of their tows are due to emissions related.

    Don't forget the stealerships. The $$$ they must be making from warranty work and selling emission parts for the trucks outta warranty.

    Yep. Makes you wonder who's in bed with who. Just like the FDA mysteriously not approving any other drug to treat anaphylactic shock, so the epi pen company raised their prices 450% over the past several years. It's a #### joke.
     
    PoleCrusher and flatbedder4life Thank this.

    It's practically new. Shouldn't warranty cover everything..including the tow?
