Out with the old
I liked my 2014 T660, the styling and the fact that its a manual 10speed. The 400hp cummins had some power issues climbing hills and would loose 5mph while empty climbing hills like fancy gap. Plus having gone through 3 alternators and 2 sets of batteries, the problems were getting annoying.The headache rack sucked as well, my binders would freeze in the winter, and i had several issues with things getting stolen at truck stops.

The cascadia is a 2019 that the shop manager is ordering all custom with the older hoods and headlights specifically because of parts availability and cost being lower. The new headache racks are great. One thing i hate is the fact that its an auto, but they had the DD15 at the stock 455hp put in all these trucks with eaton ultra shift autos. The quad axle cascadias and the quad axle coronados that we are getting all have the DD16 with 18speed manuals. That is eventually what im trying to get into but theres a waiting list. I guess a good point about the new truck is that even if im still governed for 65mph, i get 5 mph bump to use to pass so i dont have to fight with the megas that are governed at .1mph slower than me.

I kinda like them freightliners with the midroof. I am diggin that cabinet too! You will get used to the auto.

The worst part of the auto is it kinda made me lazy. I noticed I didn’t pay as much attention to the other traffic as when I got to row my own gears?

The cabinet is pretty nice, both sides open upwards, and then the bottom opens up. The dunnage is inside its own locking rack door.

Cascadias kick ### interior room wise. They feel ####in huge.

The DD15 I like. Ive run 90k with one and it rolled along as fast as I wanted to go.

Eld's... The only words I have for them just look like a bunch of #'s when I post them lol

Who was the manufacturer of that rack? I'm liking that, seems very functional.

Forgive my asking a seemingly stupid question, but in the loading sense isn’t steel on steel bad?

Steel gets steel!!! ( chains ) if it’s not finished product. That’s the way I call it if I can? Looks right to me just the way it is?

Or are you asking about plate on plate? They usually come in “lifts” like that. Usualy seperated into the copacity of the lightest duty crane.
