    Honestly, with these new trucks, it's luck of the draw. Some are really good with few problems and others are always in the shop. It has nothing to do with JCT, just a fact of all the emissions stuff that have to go on the trucks by law.

    It is my opinion that the DD15 is the best emissions engine on the market today.

    I have been lucky so far on my '15 Cascadia. The '12 I started with blew the motor 9 months in.

    Yes you can test drive trucks before you lease them.

    The first truck he gets has a 90 day grace period to decide to keep or get another one. The trucks here are not shop queens, heck he might get a brand new one or one with less than 100k on the clock. HE just needs to ask for the maintenance records and do a really thorough inspection. My personal inspection took 2 hours. Get a printout of the ECM settings, shop has no problems doing this.

    Getting close to time for me to take a 34hr. Not that I'm running out of hours soon. Got plenty of those. It's starting to catch up to me and getting worn out.
