A properly tuned Detroit will run really well. Gentry and sons love them.

Amen, mine has been bullet proof, just remember to keep a spare fuel pump handy. Usually fuel pump, crank shaft sensor, and a cam shaft sensor are the issues....

[@aaronporter0776]

That T8 with the wide nose you were wondering about, is known as a T800W, & as you probably can guess, these are used primarily as heavy haulers, the wide hood allows for a bigger radiator, keeping the engine cooler for hauling large loads.

[@keithfurlow5024]

Yes Sir! You hit the nail on the head my friend!!!

[@flintcreektransport]

Yea. I seen them before. Def a unique look. Thankyou

[@TimHollis3006]

I guess I need to start calling you with my gliders because I usually sell them a couple trucks per month…you’ll get a way better deal buying from me also. That blue W9L day cab with the center tow pin bumper was one of mine, the white T800 62” tri axle heavy haul was as well, & the white 389 glider with a 3406E

[@flintcreektransport]

For sure…… please do !

Trucks been laid over. That’s why the doors have gaps. My Pete was laid over in known to me after I bought it. Had the same problem.

[@flintcreektransport]

We have a truck that we owned from new that wasn’t laid over and still has gaps …. But i it might have def got twisted at some point

@@flintcreektransport : ok. Fair enough, I’ve owned several Pete’s in the past but this is the only one I’ve had that has door problems.

Yes. That’s how we did for the last fix

[@alexholmes153]

Great purchase sir, and color. Like always great info and content. 💯💯

[@flintcreektransport]

Thanks for watching

[@badgerpa9]

Aren't they known for weak doors? I think there is a kit with hinges and stiffner because the doors always bend down. Nice looking truck, hope you get many years from it. One of the biggest problems they are dealing with the electric vehicles is still fires. Ford's electric is now on recall and they stopped selling them until it is fixed. Most of the batteries for electric vehicles come from china and they are hinting they may put a freeze on selling them to build their own sales. Be safe Sir.

[@CallofDutyMontages12]

That program cat is doing is going to be a serious money maker. All these years their core program for a reman has been ungodly strict. With these “new” engines, they will take anything back as a core. I’ve had a ton of customers interested. Be curious to see how it turns out.

[@flintcreektransport]

Yea for sure. I think it’s awesome

[@davidfox5321]

I have a '17 that has the same door seal and mirror issues.......

[@arigross9864]

My suggestion you supposed to test drive a used truck with a load so you can feel old aches and pains of the used truck

[@jonathansparks3386]

Detroit 60-Series engines aren’t necessarily the best engines including the non-computer Cummins. But are so much easier to diagnose and work on

[@FightingFishTv]

Looks like that tractor was in a wreck previously

[@flintcreektransport]

Both doors are tweaked. I couldn’t see any other spot that to my knowledge that pointed toward a wreck…… but we will look closer

[@robstratton9042]

That cracked axle housing plus the cab tweak and the mismatched colors on the drivers side of the hood makes me think it got hit on the left side I hope i am wrong but i think you should have passed on this one Good luck

Alex I'd almost bet ya that the truck had been wrecked sir they didn't get the door adjusted right. I don't believe that the electric is going anywhere why would Buccees be building all of these big truckstops in Knoxville Tennessee and they just built a new fuel stop in Crossville Tennessee with 186 fuel islands for vehicles. Truck prices are ridiculous 80,000 for a 2000 w9 155,000 for a 2013 Pete 379 is just insane I had the chance to buy a 04w9 for 30,000 8 yrs ago and past on it stay safe Alex🤘🇺🇸🤙🇺🇸 another great video

This electric crap sounds good in theory, but right now it's a pipe dream. I just read about a guy that spent 130 grand on an electric Ford F-150 and a home charger. He was taking his family on a vacation from Ontario Canada to Chicago IL. I think they made it the first 215 miles and couldn't find a working charger, with 12 miles left on his truck he had to give up, rent a gas engine truck to get to Chicago, having his electric truck towed back to Canada. Like I said sounds good, but it's no where near reality today.

Yes a peterbilt. Your getting better at buying trucks. Stick a board or pipe in the middle of the door bend the top in, just did my 16 it's a peterbilt thing. Why can't you just add like a aluminum diamond plate hydro tank behind the cab instead of doing the tanks? I know the tanks are cooler. We have a bunch of them Detroit gliders with straight pipes in w9 and 389 always sounds good 👍

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Always makes me laugh, companies send a non truck driver/non mechanic to buy the trucks. And they always buy something PACCAR. lol! "It's soooo Big in here!" They could send a secretary to pick a pretty color. lol! Oh, and BTW, a properly turned up engine saves on wear and tear. Put a 370 BHP, and a 700BHP going up on the same 10% grade, and you tell me what parts are wearing out faster, and how much they cost to install.

[@clintmeyer8029]

Newer truck with a pre emission motor.

[@gregorycross612]

Short answer: rolling chassis, no engine. Probably still the same..... I have a 1977 KW900. It is a glider. It has a short VIN code that does not specify the drive train components (engine, transmission, etc). These trucks were bought as a rolling chassis without these components. Why? So that you can build a truck to the specifications that you need. Example: mine is a 'Winch Tractor' built to match a 50 ton tri-axel folding neck lowboy which uses the 80 ton Tulsa winch to pick up the trailer neck, then trailer plus load and drag the truck under the neck of the low boy to hitched position. The winch is operated off of a PTO on a 4 speed auxiliary transmission which is behind the main 5 speed trans. [Twin stick 5&4] So why is it desirable to find these now ....emissions requirement loophole!
