    That's just disheartening. Snap the crank on your new truck.

    I know the techs at the Kenworth's that I thought to be pretty impressive were all high on the Cummins, including the ISX, enthusiastic in fact, and the Paccar they would just shake their heads, and go "Meh."

    I purchased a new 2016 T680 with an MX13. After about a year, I got a recall notice that the camshaft may not have been heat treated properly. The dealer had to remove the engine and replace the shaft.
    Running well since.

    The cats are very happy with Casper, as they occupy more of him than I do.
    I would have had a kitten that I found in York too, but Mincy was like "Oh hell no."
    But someone did take him.

    That HUGE mother dog that sat and looked at me for an hour with her puppies. ........I was thinking "You can't. It'll be like Noah's Ark going down the interstate. "

    That'd be a nice one to see going down the road, a dog chasing cats around in the cab.
