Is there a harness to connect the R series modem to the service port? Trying to run them in 20 and 30 series tractors. Currently just have 12 volts running them.

What’s the part number for the cable for the modem M? As well, will a modem M be able to go into a freight liner truck?

The Modem M cable is PFP21103. A Modem M can be installed in anything with a 12V power source, data collected depends on the machine model and having the harness fully connected. A Freightliner truck would work for location and tracking but will not collect any data like fuel or codes. If you are interested in tracking over the road trucks through Ops Center and having more detailed data, there are two partnered companies that have integration with Deere, Samsara and Razor Tracking. That would require buying their device and plan, then linking your Ops Center account with their program.
