From the very little bit I know about MDT's I'd suggest you forget about them. Go look for a HDT. I don't think your mileage is going to be any worse. The availability and cost will be better for an HDT I think. My son bought a '03 Freightliner FLD120 Classic, with the Cummins N14 engine, big huge condo sleeper with upper bunk, for $18k. It's got a straight 10 transmission which I know you aren't wanting. But, he's been using it for almost 2 years with almost no problems. It's a working truck so he's running 80k lbs. most of the time. Those N14's were great motors.
