[QUOTE="j-mox, post: 667193, member: 898"] I'm no expert by any means but I can say we kind of run the same type of trucks on our farm and ran into some of the same questions on our last upgrade. We needed to update but didn't know about the newer trucks. Our go to truck repair shop told us to stay away from computer controlled trucks but that eliminates most anything newer. We settled on a pair of 2010 Mack Visions with MP-8 415 engines and 10 speed. They had around 500K miles and great maintenance records. They were Caseys General Store trucks bought from Mack dealership. In our area they come up often as they buy new trucks and turn in large amounts of trucks. Farmers snatch them up cause they are all daycab and lower miles. We love the trucks and everyone around who has bought them have been overly pleased with the purchase so far. As far as emissions these have regen and we idle our trucks a lot too. The truck due to idle and short trips will flash regen codes because we don't run far enough for them to do the automatic regen when driving down the road. It will go thru a couple of stages and you need to either drive steady speeds for awhile or do a parked regen, which takes 20-30 minutes. If not done the truck will go to a low power mode and if still bypassed it will shut down and cannot be regened at that point. It has to be serviced by a technician then according to manual. The truck and exhaust get very hot on parked regen so you have to be careful where they are parked when it is done. Exhaust temps go over 700*. I can't speak for trucks running DEF but the regen is the only downside we see. Don't know if this has helped any at all but this is what we see on ours with similar driving conditions. [/QUOTE]
