    Heard back from SFI yesterday. Ive been debating on whether or not to get the KW T680 w/Paccar motor (not so good reviews and also requires a $5000 down payment) or the Cascadia EVO( with NO downpayment). Does anybody have any experience with the KW/Paccar?

    The paccar power train is a little too new for me, and hasn't had time to be proven. This will also make parts harder to find and more expensive once the warranty expires, also less techs will be properly trained to repair them. I personally plan to go with the Cascadia Evo when I decide to pull the trigger on a lease. Detroits are good engines and have had years to prove so. Hope my $0.02 helps!

    Can anybody tell me where they are putting chain hangers or chain boxes on the new trucks?

    I am working my way up to Green Bay this week and going to go get some work done on my truck at Dedicated Fleet Service (the guys that do a lot of the work on the trucks for SFI before they sell etc..) While I'm there going ask them about putting a chain box or hanger on mind. I will let ya know what they say.

    Yea, I went with the KW T680, it pretty much fits our needs and was the only one with a Thermo king triac.

    Probably be cheaper to buy your own chain box. And install it yourself.
