1996 Peterbilt 379 EXHD+ with CAT 3412 running

[@Jdigger4130]

Very cool! Nice to see some guys do not care what fuel costs or what truck weighs!!! You sir are badass

[@mayhemmike1789]

Sounds EXCEPTIONALLY smooth for a motor that size, indicating its spinning like top!!!

[@SootyMangabey.]

I never thought a cat v12 would sound good in a Truck... Boy was I wrong, Would love to get my hands on that one day. If nothing else to sit in a lawn chair drinking beer listening to that idle.

[@surethatsok]

Nothing compares to the exotic whine and power of a cat engine. C and earlier sound great.

[@monstersdad67]

Thanks for sharing such an awesome truck

[@gilasquiggy7846]

Great sound like a 3406 but 6 more. Fantastic.

[@sandipandey6725]

What an impressive machine.... specially with dat engine it's next level 👍

[@jacobwhitehorse25]

Unreal engineering

[@Retired88M]

Please do another video but with the hood open to see how you stuffed it in

[@wrenchtheroo6557]

At first i was like no way, how did they put a 3412 in that, looks at oil pan.... nevermind they did! Thats awesome! We got some quarry trucks with 3412e i believe and man they sound amazing

[@mironeko3820]

What a beast

[@suleymanyazc9583]

Can you make a video of the truck engine?

[@jamesconn7311]

Damn it !! Gives New Meaning to ...Large and in Charge !! Hello ,Come in !!

[@dandable]

One word; beautiful!!! They ought to call it the kitty cat buzzin dozen

[@hoost3056]

Nah.......Buzzin Dozen is Detroit all the way, and a 3412 is too mellow. Call it a Double B or something. Stroker fans won't like you stealing.

[@tyharland1906]

There's only 1 buzzin dozen.

[@Darth-Nihilus1]

Do they make a Jake brake kit for the 3412ta? I’ve never worked on or seen a truck with a 3412dita outside of mining equipment and large generators

[@G2Customs]

No, not a Jake, this one has three braking systems: the air brakes, an after turbo exhaust retarder that does not add much braking power, and 😃 a three stage KLAM electric (kinetic) retarder that is mounted on the drive line behind the transmission. The KLAM is controlled by a lever on the dash, it is a very powerful braking system.

​@@G2CustomsDave was a brilliant man that's for sure! He even owned a helicopter.

[@247mack11]

Sweet ass ride

[@bobmartin6055]

Interesting wheelbase / drop axle configuration; what was he hauling?

[@G2Customs]

it looks short because the hood was extended 10 inches and the cab moved back 10 inches... the engineers didn't want it to be any longer than necessary to keep the weight down and the frame flex to a minimum

[@realmccoy9597]

David Youngblood owned Titan heavy hauling out of Colorado built this truck for himself I remember seeing it when I was a kid.

[@jeff0nyschuk670]

I've driven a 3408 in a KW, before,,Very impressive 😢😢😢

[@G2Customs]

the 3408 is a big engine but 😃 this is a 3412 😲😎

[@oilfieldtrucker3225]

3412 that's big how many hp? I'd like to see under that big hood.

[@G2Customs]

780 HP on the dyno

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@G2Customs 4000 torque

[@benjaminturpin2749]

@@G2Customs I'm curious. Why a v12 if only 780? You can get 700 plus with a tune and turbo on a c15

[@G2Customs]

@@benjaminturpin2749 it was custom built back in 1997 by a company in Colorado called Titan... I am not sure why they decided to build it with the V12, but... pulling heavy haul is more about torque than HP... the V12 torque is always going to significantly more than a straight 6

[@frontagulus]

@@benjaminturpin2749 Reliability plus you're talking '70s technology, so pretty good. Understressed, no electronics, last forever, unlike a C15 which will be turned into a half dozen Toyotas after 400k

[@nickdinkel4976]

Bad azz!

[@mikemotteberg3527]

Is that a top secret power plant, You're not able to open the hood ?

[@percyhill9400]

Hood too heavy XD

[@G2Customs]

It's got air cylinders to lift the hood... but, they were just added in 2020... for 24 years it was just opened with 💪

[@G2Customs]

I've got a bunch of pictures, but... maybe you understand that KZbin doesn't allow me to post pictures... understand Mike? or... is that too much hood for you? LOL!!

[@jshishe]

It’s a hiway locomotive

[@jeff0nyschuk670]

I've never heard of a 3412cat.

[@G2Customs]

Now you have! 😁 a lot of 3412's are used to power generators and big ships. Some are in big dozers, wheel loaders and scrapers. This was a custom built truck.

[@frontagulus]

I'd like to see one of these without all the bling on it - day cab, no stacks, just basic frame, axles, engine, transmission

[@G2Customs]

There were only a couple of these CAT V12 powered trucks ever built, back in the late '90's They are custom built on a Peterbilt 379 glider chassis. Double framed to handle the weight and torque/twist. It is unlikely that anyone will ever build another one

[@frontagulus]

@@G2Customs It's definitely a very nice unit for sure

[@YARCHLRL]

the definition of "extendd hood" lol...

[@grantmarut7488]

They don't make them like that anymore

[@G2Customs]

The Peterbilt model 379 was built starting in 1987 and was discontinued in 2007. This truck was custom built. No manufacturer, including Peterbilt, ever built a truck with a V12 CAT. There were some trucks that came from the factory that had V12 Detroit engines, the 12V71

[@JimmyCasket02]

And they never did either this is a custom deal

[@valentinecerda2406]

For sale??????

[@G2Customs]

Yes... CustomPeterbilt.com

[@Brian-nt1hh]

It’s all about the presentation, and presenting in GREEN/Blk fenders, KILLER! Now go find a heavy haul to give it purpose, but really!?!? Is that the meaning of life? Let us say it like it is, without enjoyment, there is no purpose. Peace

[@johnnybratsch-zw4ce]

Show the dam engine!!!

[@KevinLundie]

would love to have seen under the hood??

[@G2Customs]

I posted a picture collage with a bunch of different views of the engine. I'll see if I can get a new video. The problem is, we sold the truck, so it's over a thousand miles away from me now.

[@NateGaines-f7l]

Wow what a beast bet she tows like mad

[@AndrewDavidson-o8v]

Whats it get 1-2 mpg?

[@glennjohnso310]

You would be surprised. 4mpg loaded.

[@rsmith3033]

@@glennjohnso310 i started drivin in 1980 n an old ford L-9000 with 8V71 lol & it got 4 mpg

[@michaeldunagan8268]

I the sound much better than the Detroit v12..!!

[@andrewnorris1514]

Let us see that Rascal

[@whiteeagletrans9850]

anybody can say they have a n engine in it that runnings but put your mouth on it and show you have this big engine in it. cause who ever heard putting that big engione a truck before you full of it guy so prove it you have to have very heavy duty front axle to carry that monster which you don' t have

[@G2Customs]

the good news is, I'm not required to prove anything to drunk idiots like you... so... there's that... fact + the fact that everything I posted is 100% true and accurate... there's that too... SMILE BIG!

[@Drewsky840]

If you're jealous of this mans badass truck just say it

[@russvoight1167]

This is not the first over the road tractor with a 3412

[@frontagulus]

Wow, why so aggressive? Someone that references a White is probably in no position to big note here.....

[@whiteeagletrans9850]

Wel, you drunk asshole I been around trucks all my life and I do know what 3412 weights. So show it not hide it under hood maybe somebody can believe you did it. Plus 12,000 pound axle not going to last. Plus you better have some rearends that can hold. 46,000 pound rears still not big enough.. You never get tires to last long either I not jealous just think if someone going put something like that together better be ready with a big check to keep it running
