    So how are those 5700's coming along? Anyone on here with a 5700 that can share how they've been so far for you? Any thoughts on how they compare to other trucks you've owned or driven? Reliablility and MPG's you're getting? Thanks in advance!

    I have a 2016 5700 xe.I noticed the paint chipping seems to be a issue.
    I curious.Whats the purpose of 2 engine temperature gauges?
    Could you tell me what the normal operating temp is on the dd15?I heard the detroit runs warmer than the cummins.My fan won't even kick on until about 224.I need a fan switch.
    Other than the couple of concerns I'm quite happy with it
