    I started with a 2011 Cascadia with DD15 started with 400k it now has 185Million on it never had major work done to it only starter once and in Feb this year the original air compressor blew it lasted over 1million miles,solid truck man! Late last year bought a Pete 389 with a Cummins cm2350 man nothing but troubles for me and my Cascadia got me out this mess my Pete got me into. Any who DD15 is a solid platform!

    Just got back today w/my 2011 Cascadia, DD13, 10 sp, 1.1 mill so far and still no real trouble, just the typical nickle-dimeing but I'll be ready to part w/it when it really starts dollaring me which I've been expecting for the last 200,000 however it's still ticking along strong . A friend is ahead of me w/the same set up and 1.4 mill on his. I've been looking for a '17 T660 for over a yr for the future replacement but Bo Bo's economy has absolutely all things priced over the top so.... still watching and waiting. I don't post often but I watch everything you put out, these are good video's and always helpful in some way even when you were on the rd.

      Wow congrats on the million miles that's impressive, quick question are you running a APU at night or idling your rig? I'm at 600,000 now on my 2015 DD15. I run my APU to avoid unburn fuel and less maintenance on my DPF/EGR

    Thank you for making this channel it’s been really helpful. What is your take on the CPC on Freightliner’s going out? I’ve been hearing a lot truckers are not able to get these CPC’s very easy. Should that be a concern if I’m looking to invest in Freightliner? Is it best to look for a Freightliner with a Cummins?

    Hello Ryan, what types of issues should I expect with 800K miles on 2019 Freightliner T12664ST? What are common cost of repair such as if in-frame overhaul is needed? Your channel is much appreciated .

    • @garretttroester5943
      @garretttroester5943 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Tom, I'm a foreman at a freightliner dealership in canada. usually the cost for inframe varies greatly best bet is to get a quote from a dealership for the parts then it's around 45 to 55 hours depending on what you want to do. If you go to Detroit website you can see the levels of unframed called step ups and make your decision from there. 28,000 all the way to 48,000 is typically what we see.

      I was previously a specialist in Cammer trucks, and working with them was not complicated and very easy because we did not need advanced inspection devices and tools. For a while, I am specialized in small vehicles such as Mercedes and BMWs. By chance, I entered your channel and I was taken by nostalgia and seasons to go back to the past, which is trucks and I wanted to know the devices, common failure in new technology trucks to make study that maybe to return to my old job in trucks and prepare my work shop for such works and buy the recommended scan tools!!

      Long term would be kw t680 for low cost, short term. Volvo or freightliner cascadia.
      If you go with kw, avoid paccar packages. Get cummins engine eaton transmission. Paccar engines and transmissions have tons of electronics and sensor issues.
