    That's what I thought. My last cascadia was great. One if the bigwigs there when I got my currentbtrick said something about it. He said it was a small batch of them. I guess fuel econ knows because they have not said anything to me. I've been in it since April. No one has asked me to come in to get ecm reflashed either. Maybe they are waiting until the trucks first service? I know it doent pull worth a crap on big hills with anything over 32, 000 lbs.

    Speaking of idle time, I saw a truck at the 49er in Sacramento about a month ago with solar panels on top of it. I dont know how well that would work but it looked cool.
