West Texas | Not sure on an 8530 but we have an 8430. Not much difference except ours has ILS and a PS tranny.
Don't think I'd want one without ILS/active seat.
They love fuel, 10 hrs a day on a full tank is it if it makes it that long when pulling. When not pulling hard they are ok.
Our 8430 has had fan issues 4 different times now other then the fan PIP.. Twice within the last month. It has 4300 hrs. Last 2 times it had issues it had to go to the dealer, last time it had to be hauled as it was spewing hydraulic oil all over the place. Yes, the fan speed is controlled via hydraulics.
And it's a small cab for a 6ft driver. | |
