Al: You can add the CTC178 and CTC179 to the crap list. Why, after making
such a great chassis CTC169, at least for us servicers, they made the 170,
178, and 179 is unexplainable. I cringe everytime one of these come in. I
love the CTC169, 177, 187, 195, but those other three are money losers and
junk in my opinion. The rebuilders don't even like them, they have sent them
back to me unrepairable before, their quote. we don't know what is wrong
with it, rarely does that happen on other chassis.
