    I drive a 06 Columbia with 952,000 on it and not a squeak, squeal, rattle, or leak from it. Maybe my maintenance crew is just top notch.

    Ya, forgot to mention once in awhile I got out a few tools and tighten things up inside and out, and when I first got both of them a spent a few hours crawling around underneath checking as many nuts and bolts as I could find. The first cascadia I did find one of the air tank brackets was really loose and was wearing a hole in the tank, that would have caused some down time for sure, so it pays to check as must as you can every once and awhile. I would do the above too any brand of truck I drive.

    You can get with your sfi rep and they work with you if you get behind.
    they will push a payment out till next week or brake it up over a couple or a few weeks if needed.
    Although 2 days down shouldn't bother you that much. Been there done that

    I think it really depends on the shop and how busy they are. In reality Freightliner is selling way more trucks than any other brand, so their shop can be backed up.

    It's not what I meant at all..just bringing up the fact that a lot of us talked about leasing and were put down about it in favor of buying a truck outside of SFI.

    I tend to remember more than most is all..not trying to start anything.
    I'm happy for anyone who has the courage to take the plunge into choice.
     
    Jar-Head Thanks this.
