Fantastic!! Can't tell you how long I've looked for a video like this. Your explanation of the "heavy" 12k front is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!! Thank you very much!!!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i make my most money on inoperative trucks. so many people give up on them because of high shop repair costs. we do all our work our self. so we can do a lot more. i am so happy i found your channel. you do a lot of the same things we do. look forwards to seeing more! subbed!

Drove a truck eith a Chalmers. Extremely stable. The ride was actually pretty good. The other drivers said the same thing. Prefer it over most air rides

[@AJ-zg7sc]

I drove a crane truck with a Chalmers for 20 mins and I needed advil for my back afterwards

[@jim-zx7gz]

@@AJ-zg7sc ya it's weird....I drove some four spring Reyco that were great and drove some that would put you thru the roof....guess there are many factors......I didn't expect the truck I drove with the ,Chalmers to be good at all..but it was

[@AJ-zg7sc]

@@jim-zx7gz I'm curious how the Hendrickson haulmaxx compares to it

Be cool to see a video on it finished 👌

Been a long summer. We actually are picking it back up next week. I’ll start posting again. Thanks

Cool build. Hey that Blue /green cab in the background looks like a Peterbilt 579. What is that cab extension on it?

[@DaycabDaycabs]

Hi Tony . Yes that cab was a prototype for Peterbilt that our company built. It is being released in 2022 as the Extended Cab across all Peterbilt models. It is really cool gives you 10” more cab room and move the seat back 2” at the base. There are some photos on our Facebook. I’m about to finish that charmers project.

[@tonyg4502]

Oh that’s awesome! Even 379’s? Glad you are getting closer with the project!

[@corey97140]

Just curious if the Cummins spun the front drive gear? My Pete 388 tow truck blew its x15 at 65k 😭

[@DaycabDaycabs]

When I got it the motor was full of antifreeze this motor was probably the worst of them. It’s getting a Detroit in January.

[@jimstone2286]

Fuel tank brackets are on the top. That doesn't seem right to me

[@Freedom37854]

All Peterbilt fuel tank bracket are on the top.

[@jimstone2286]

@@Freedom37854 I never noticed. But then again all my trucks are Macks Kenworths and Western stars. I am curious about that bracket Mount and the torque rods that you put on top of the housing.

[@GlennGoryl]

Thank you for doing this. (IMO), we do not need to see you. More truck/less you.

[@clarencetetterton7097]

You going to regret doing that. Its strong and all that but it rides like shit. Your back will let you know.

[@DaycabDaycabs]

Got to get those walking beams some how. Way better than spring. There is some nice system available but you can’t get retro kits.
