UPDATE

Hello everyone,

I wanted to update all of you on how the Cascadia has been performing over this past year.

My fuel mileage for year end was 7.4mpg. The steer tires have worn 5 /32 nds. since new for a wear rate of 35,029  per thirty seconds. My drive tires have worn 11/32 nds. for a wear rate of 16,282 miles per thirty seconds. The result being,  the steer tires could have the potential of lasting for approximately 385,321 miles. The drive tires could possibly perform  as long as 390,768 miles.   

The  DD15 engine continues to use between one to two quarts of oil per 50,000 mile oil change.

The Cascadia currently to date has 175,148 miles on the odometer.  I am as pleased with this truck as the first day when I stepped into the Cascadia to take my first drive.

If you have the opportunity, don’t forget to post your idea of your perfect truck as suggested in my last blog. Take care and have a great weekend.

Henry
