Buying a 2007 Peterbilt 378 roll off truck with a c13 475 hp cat engine.

I like the way Dave buys equipment that he can afford to build his business; but always makes it look good - shows real pride of ownership and makes his business look professional.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@jerryfitzpatrick3667]

Owners work is never done. Nice paint job - who needs a spray gun... Thanks for posting and sharing.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Never done unfortunately

Thanks

My OCD was killing me watching you with that power washer LOL. Make sure you go over all the grease points on that rig and check the ball joints and links in the steering. That tire wore out like that for a reason, unless they threw a crapper on it to keep a better tire.

[@125sm3]

Great video.

[@philipx2]

I know exactly where you bought this truck. I drive by it when I go camping up north. I live 15min away from that location. It is odd to see a location that you know on a you tube channel.

[@kenwillis8487]

I will never understand why sellers don’t clean vehicles up b4 they sell them! I understand not cleaning the engine bay so buyers can see if there’s any leaks but come on!

[@londontuminski8981]

Hi Dave, I really enjoy your videos! I own a small Roll Off business in South Louisiana and am going to be adding a full on roll off truck next year and will be purchasing 30 yard dumpsters going forward. Everything I own now is 15's & 20's. (Yeah, I'm one of those roll off trailer guys that has outgrown that!🤣 You live and learn!) Are you liking the Peterbilt 379 better than your 335? If you don't mind me asking can you give me a ball park figure you gave for those trucks? I'm partial to the Peterbilts but everyone I talk to says the Macks are work horses and parts readily available. I'd like to get your opinion on it!

[@Dumpster_Dave]

I have a 1999 Mack I love that truck, the 335 peterbilt is very nice but you have to get the right specs because there Medium duty trucks. I have a 1998 international with the n14 Cummins another good truck to run but bad on fuel and doesn’t like cold weather

[@davoid96]

LOL the dog is trying to sleep

[@dodik4034]

great work, always wondered when will I see one dropped off at my place.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Lol figured you won’t mind

[@rickallman1318]

Nice truck! It would be cool to aquire a trlr to potentially double capacity some days!

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Yeah

[@thepubliceye]

Be careful with using that much you will cut right through gaskets and electrical connectors. It will also cut radiator tubes and bend fins flat.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks for letting me know

[@njonebale7889]

Nice Pete! Can’t drive it like that…need the hood emblems and bullhorns! Na just joking I love a shorty 378! Is it a 13 or 18?

Let’s hope nobody loads the back into the Trader heavy you’re gonna go for a ride

[@black666bull9]

I'm wondering, why is the Cab rivet together ? Is this common in the States ? And what are the Benefits.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

You can replace body parts easily

[@mikelwhitlock]

dude, you need a bigger air supply for the 1" gun.. mine will break lugs off. you should never have to heat nuts.. even my 1/2 Milwaukee battery powered gun will pull those wheels off

[@Dumpster_Dave]

I bought a brand new compressor 175 psi and it was missing a bolt, So come to find out, I didn’t have the right air pressure

[@marcelpowergumsma2567]

For the wheels to put on why you make a bar like a Y vorm so you kan equal put the wheel on the axel(like a fork)

[@Dumpster_Dave]

That would work

[@zippo1009]

All i could hear was at the very end....nothing from inside cab or when painting and bying the truck. You really should have a mic and turn on the subtitles button when posting....That sometimes help when sound is low.
