2012 freightliner cascadia with cummins or Detroit engine?? Which is better to buy?

Cummins all the way.

 

Do not buy a big block unless you are running +90 000lbs.

Which gearbox do you want?

 

Sorry to bother you but I noticed that you are on and I have a question I have a delivery 3 hours from my stop, and while I was bsing with the girls in the peelot that I have been using since i moved to the area 10++ years ago, I wound up meeting a young man, and I am so familiar with the look on his face. Longer story shortened, he is not able to pay for the greyhound to go to the same general area I'm going, but I think I am pretty sure he's not in legal or illegal trouble. I'm interested to know if it's ok to take a passenger in my truck if I decide on it being an almost harmless act in my life, or if the law enforcement officials have a nice jamb to get me in in the case of a roadside etc.

 

What is your compagny policy?
Does he have ID?

 

How heavy will you run?

 

WHAT?

A detriot does well, who cares if it's 34000 empty or 80K loaded upgrade? It will do at or close to the speed limit. My avatar has a 500 detriot in that FLD and from time to time Ive managed to get 1600 plus miles out of it due to certain limitations on fueling when states pile up too much fuel now and then in a fleet.

Im partial to the rockwells. Althought Mack does a good job when it comes to winter weather and ice.

 

He is looking to buy a 2012 or younger.
Full emissions engine.
Running at 80 000lbs or less those big blocks(15L) do not get a proper work out resulting in DPF issues.(Not enough heat in the system)
That is why i would advice a 13L.

 

I have a 13 Cascadia with 450 isx smart torque , 10 speed .
I run Midwest and out to LA with it .
Good power and no problems with it so far pulling a reefer with 30k to 44k payload .
Ecm fuel mileage stays between 6.5 and 7.2 .
I happy with the truck .
