50. One Of My 2023 Peterbilt 389 Trucks I Ordered

[@odorizedramblings4660]

We've been running the MX13s in 389's since 15. Fan clutch at around 275k and normal maintenance. We haven't had any issues with the engines. I hope you have the same good luck with them also.

[@samuelmandarelli2645]

I’ve had a class A CDL since 1993. Perfectly clean driving record since 1993. I’m 59. If a man were to spec me a pride and class in dark copper… I’d run for him for the count. 😉

[@raymondgonzalez5020]

Man I was super excited when I seen the notification you posted a new video. I’m glad your doing great and I wish you nothing but the best. The new truck looks amazing.

[@fergieferguson2457]

I’m in Tennessee I’m retired driver living the good life still in my mid 50’s doing what I want to do,I just get bored and my farm pretty much takes care of itself after April I could do some part time driving until October,1st of November when I really have to get busy with the farm…

[@carlthor91]

Good to see your still kicking. As far as I can figure, don't over idle the new engines, Cummins included, fewer problems. Best wishes from the far North.

[@waynenorbreyjr9638]

I guess who ever spec'd this truck decided not to add the extra gauges? You can definitely order the newer trucks with more gauges on the dash. Good looking truck!

[@tomallis7031]

Really nice to see you again, and congratulations for your continued success! Looking forward to more adventures. Glad you're well!

[@Norm2120]

Glad to see and hear from ya , been wondering how ya been doing. This current world we’re living in is absolutely insane so to see your still trucking and buying new trucks even with the set backs you had is awesome. Best of luck and keep on truck’n 🤘🏼

[@billupstateny9151]

Like to keep the mirrors clean, no antennas, put them on back of cab. Also the roof horns do not help the fuel mileage, & the under cab train horn is quite effective. Believe the Aero style mirrors are more productive, but some love the classic look. A peterbilt salesman did a recent video wherein he noted that a 389 has the aerodynamics of a brick, he usually uses shoebox, but the description fits.

[@fishlips8336]

Incredibly happy for you driver and have missed your videos! Peterbilt is on the path for ruining the dash, no gauges, the mirrors and pretty much everything else the government is doing. Hope everything goes well for you!

[@kennysmith6185]

Nice to see a video from you again Like how you called out the trolls ahead of time, you said it exactly! I think most people that comment have no idea anyways. Always same comments.. There junk get a Cat. LoL But to be serious, been running a Paccar last 5 years or so , second truck now. There great , good on fuel & run smooth. X15s are so noisy , actually prefer the Paccar. It will be good for you no doubt .

[@cw4558]

Thought you fell off the face it the earth lol NOPE your just out there killing it on the roads.. Awesome to hear your doing well

[@jeffdavis3038]

Never apologize your doin the best you can. If I was 30 40 years younger I would be in touch. God bless keep doin what your doin.

[@bobby1970]

I'm not a trucker, and I know nothing about big rigs, but I love the looks of most of them, especially these classic looking Peterbilt trucks. I'm amazed they still make them today. Of course, they may look like the classic Peterbilt, but I'm sure it has been modernized a lot, which I guess is a good thing? At least they kept the classic look. I'm so glad of that, because I want to see these trucks for years to come. I love the looks of any Peterbilt truck that even remotely looks like it. Some Kenworth trucks look good, too, but I don't know if they still make their trucks that look nice like the ones in the good old days? I realize that the two truck companies are owned by the same parent company, and I hope both are still good quality? I'm sure they are. I wouldn't mind owning one of these trucks (minus the trailer) just to use as a grocery getter, and an everyday vehicle to get around in. Of course, I know I would have to get a commercial drivers license first. The main reason I would want to drive a truck like this around for my own personal use is because I think it would be cool, and I would feel so much safer in a real truck (a gigantic truck). I've got to win the lottery first, though.

[@josephmann3884]

You will be pleased with the Paccar. Hire a good driver and it will get better mpg and less trouble than the red motors. I have over a million miles on Paccar pulling 80000 lb loads on 3200 mile weekly turns over the Rockies and down south. IDLE EVERY NIGHT ALL NIGHT AND GET 7+ mpg consistent running 70 mph. The Paccar 12 speed auto is a great option to pair up with that Paccar motor when the world smooths out and you can order em the way you want em. Glad to see the tall bedroom. Most quality OTR drivers prefer comfort and roominess over “old school flattops. Glad to hear you are still rolling after not hearing any updates for a looong time. ROLLSAFE!

[@jbfoxford]

Hey nice to see you back on the Chanel , truck looks cool don't worry about that Paccar motor you are doing the right thing by running it 3or 4 hundred thousands an get rid of it. Just stay in warranty !! best of luck to u looking forward to the next video can't wait to see the other 23 Joe B.

[@tdmd100]

Keep posting! your the smartest business owner in trucking out here !! great to see you back !

[@rickstanfield1966]

I’m glad to hear your doing well I know a lot of drivers are struggling you just gotta play it by ear

[@theratedrtransformer8890]

I work at a kenworth dealership…..watch out on 22 Mx engine the injectors have an issue where they start over shooting diesel and they get in the oil pan and give the effect of water being in the oil pan and cause a major knocking noise,it mostly affects the main bearings and kills the fuel pump…keep an eye out for that

[@TheLooneytoontn]

I like my Paccar in my 2020. The after treatment has been in the shop 3 times in 3 years for minor bs. But I’m happy overall with everything about the motor.

[@frankwolfe3181]

PAC car is junk.

[@TheLooneytoontn]

@@frankwolfe3181 you’re allowed that opinion. Have a good day sir.

Glad to see you back. See you in a year lol. You ever need a driver, let me know

Good to hear from you again everybody loves a winner

[@josherwin1250]

I hv been running a Paccar in my 2018 kw since new. 210000 miles so far so good. A little under powered at times. So far so good no major issues at all

[@classc4x4shagwongrunnerujo79]

[@joshuaparker224]

Looking good man. I see your freightliner between Lubbock and sweetwater all the time.

[@danielloveall2952]

My hats off to you. I have really struggled with buying a friend trk. And like you with fuel and rates being the way they are e en leasing to a carrier .makes me nervous

[@Velox18]

Another 389! I love your determination to grow!

[@davidkreidler7552]

I just hope he post vids more often. I can only watch so much Velox B4 I need to roll the music!!! LOL

[@davidkreidler7552]

Thanks a million for the update. On Copper Penny, milage when sold, issues? Red flat top milage and issues? Did you learn your lesson AGAIN about buying old clapped out trucks? Wheres the badass black Ford? Where the hell was Sally?

[@rickmoffett3958]

Good to see you brother Good looking truck,should get you down the road for a good while

[@richarddavis4928]

You trying to tell someone not to get into trucking when you are buying new trucks that cost probably $260,000 that won't be worth $200,000 in a year with cheap rates

[@kevinlamarr1424]

A PACARR? OH NO! 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@TheLooneytoontn]

Wish you had something around TN, GA, AL and the Midwest. 28 years liquid food grade and livestock. Although lately I’ve been spoiled by a contract and being home weekly instead of being out 2 1/2 months at a time.

[@abikerinpa]

Nice looking ride ! Keep your chin up brother ! 😎❤️

[@mikehamilton4357]

It's great you're making videos congratulations on your new truck I like your videos because you're not all down in the mouth just a damn good video thank you

[@paullavergne7448]

Love. That. Color. Beitiful

[@billchadwick5880]

I worked for a fuel hauler,150 trucks in the Midwest,all Paccar 450 HP, 10 speeds ,3.23 gears low pro 22.5, day cab T680 KW's, did a good job, typical sensor issues, would have been a way better truck with a 13 speed! Decent fuel mileage, especially on longer runs,6.5 mpg average including pump off loads! More videos!

[@billupstateny9151]

Not a fan of 10speed or the PACCAR engine, but I don't buy the fuel but then again these are fuel haulers 🚛👌

[@billupstateny9151]

Not a PACCAR engine or 10 speed fan but fuel economy is the fleet goal. The freight-shakers (many) are 2.85 gears & only one tandem drive.

[@jefffrey8972]

You should run Max Mileage fuel treatment from Pittsburgh Power in them Paccar engines

[@charleylee5680]

Man im so glad that you made another video. I thought u was done making videos?

[@richardwilson3400]

Good God what a sweet ride AIN'T NO FEELING LIKE PETERMOBILING ELL YEAH.

[@brokencydeftwlol]

Somehow I thought of you randomly the day you uploaded a video.. enjoy your content

[@tdmd100]

Pete, I live in Niagara falls Canada 40 years trucking ,and only 3 companies in that time I would work for you in a heartbeat!! Don't even know you personally but i know a smart owner being so long in this industry hire me ?

[@brandonhirst5940]

Lmao love the part about deleting the emissions. I was giving you grief about the no videos. Glad your still doing well. I have the money but don’t want to spend that much for a 389. Great deal on that truck by the way Ive been looking at $250,000 not including FET. I’ll just wait and see what happens Steve at Tulsa says he has next build slot for May/June of 2023. I was considering Paccar he said the only set back was finding a place for me to get it worked on unlike the Cummins. Have a lot to consider. How will weight be hauling milk with the bigger sleeper and APU together? Take care amigo!

[@richardbeckford1931]

You will love the paccar. Mine is over a million miles and running strong

[@JTLittlejohn]

Glad to see an update. I’d seen your other trucks for sale at JTS and wondered what was going on. Still doing the tanker work?

[@johnpiper5815]

I was very appreciative on buying a paccar engine but let me tell you I have been highly impressed with it has plenty of power which I pull 40+ going & 20ish coming back East tn to western ky so kinda glad the sells man sold me on which it’s in a t680 not a good looking good lol

[@marks2447]

Hey Wondering Pete, appreciate the info you have in your videos. Good luck with the new trucks. I have a 2022 with the same dash. I will give you a heads up. With mine the clock in the digital dash doesn't keep time. Also I had an issue where the dash froze up. None of the gauges were working. I shut the truck off waited a couple of minutes after the dash shut down, restarted the truck and all was well. Lastly mine has developed a squeak went to the dealer and they said they found a loose panel and tightened it. That did not work. Hopefully these are problems you won't have to deal with. Overall. I have no issues with the whole digital dash thing. Would I prefer the old type ? Yes but, in the end they both do what's needed. Again thanks for taking the time to make these videos, a lot of good information.

[@garysmith2501]

Put socks on the rubber that the hood rests on, on the firewall. I would bet that's were your squeak is coming from.

[@marks2447]

@@garysmith2501 you know I was wondering if it was the hood. I'll try that. Thanks

[@theratedrtransformer8890]

The whole dash freezing up is a software update…i work at a kenworth dealer….take your truck to a paccar certified location and they’ll update your ecm software,only thing they might have trouble with is that they’ll need a special cable to to the update other than that it should take about 20 minutes to do the actual fix

[@marks2447]

@@garysmith2501 tried the socks, no change in the noises going to see if I can play around with it and find out what's loose / rubbing. Thanks for the tip

[@marks2447]

On a final update. It IS the hood making the noise. There are 3 blocks on each side of the hood. Bottom, middle and at the top under the windshield. The top blocks were making the noise. Covered them with a rag and noise gone. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

I was wondering about your channel Friday I was heading I-20 heading to the Dallas area to pick up some new stock trailers we bought. And saw your cream and brown color truck going towards midland. It’s a nice truck that you have bought there. Also would be great to hear your thoughts of the paccar after you run it for a while

[@davidwilliams6645]

Well one of my good friends got a 680 with a pacer. He got around 450000 in he said it's running great. Now it's OO Spect no restrictions at all. So you should be good with them...

[@wanderingpete3196]

Thanks for the input. I can’t find much info on them except for advertisement type videos. They don’t seem to be a very popular engine in small fleets or single O/Os.

What was the price difference between the paccar motor and say a 500 efficiency cummins and a 565 high torque. I see now how the truck came in under $190k.
