Also: has anyone else noticed that the engine classifications listed by Freightliner do not match the listings on Cat's website? I am guessing that Cat may not have updated it, but that's not consistent with my prior experiences with that site.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I noticed the inconsistencies between the Freightliner and Caterpillar web pages too. I too am guessing that the Freightliner pages are correct and the Cat pages haven't been updated. A definitive "ruling" would be nice.
I too live in the west and am shunning the 3126 engine for the same reasons you listed (except that I don't have the first-hand experience that you do).
I'm considering an M2-112 with a MBE 4000 engine with at least 375 HP. I'm also interested in knowing more about the new MB autoshift tranny (see:
Mercedes AGS) Does anyone have info on this new transmission?
Also, does anyone know if the cab height (top of frame to top of cab) is the same for the 106 and 112?
Last any comments about the lack of front air suspension options on the M2 would be appreciated too.
Bill: Thanks for the tip on posting pictures inline with the correct URL. And thanks for starting this very informative discussion.
