I am appalled at the amount of "super truckers" who claim a multi recall truck is perfectly fine, I've driven other trucks and none of them had any of these issues (except my first cascadia which couldn't actually drive straight at all) I feel as if some of them are the same people who probably have been DOT out of service multiple times rolling through the scales with a broken headlight, 3 flat tires and no functional gauges with every warning light on Peterbilt built the truck this way, they have an obligation not to put out a trashy 579 that has every recall in the book.

Turn signal or lack there of could be an issue. Still have indicator lights on the back and side of the trailer. Also back of tractor wich can be noticed at night. But when a car gets up beside the tractor there isn't much as far as turn indicators go. Don't know anything about radar but I'm thinking they could be tweaked a little. The seat issue is easily remedied with a different seat from a different vendor. Truck was probably ordered with a cheap one. There might be an isolater option or adjustment lever on it. Commonly referred to as a chugger snuber. Look for it on the front of the seat. It might make your seat more comfortable. Get your steer box checked. Check for a loose linkage to the drag link.

As a guy who likes classic cars and trucks shows I can understand their like of older stuff for rigs But when it comes to a vehicle it needs to work as intended. Which is why I made the video the way I did. Radar issue was just settings mishap. The other things were actually still present, had it checked by maintenance my suspension was "as intended/fine" so it's Peterbilt. Peterbilt is a fairly nice truck but this one just isn't too good. Maybe I'm not a Paccar guy?

That’s what you get for working at BYNUM!

[@jameshardy8399]

If anybody wonders why us old drivers have attitudes we'll there you go haha princess needs her radar

[@CalvanDingle]

Yo mine dose the same thing when I got a new truck I thought I was the only one

[@hotprop92]

If the tractor whoopee's, the fifth wheel is to far back. Aside from yard horses, I've driven tractors with slush-boxes but they were used for local area delivery only. If you're driving without using the clutch a stick is a lot more satisfying and keeps you awake. Between a 5spd maxi-dyne to a mack triplex I thought a 13spd was the most fun.

Man up or quit! Maybe you will have to actually pay attention to your driving now, like it always used to be without all the electronics doing it for you.

I work for FedEx Freight. You can change the display for the radar on the new KW’s. Gotta dig in the options. But, our Pete’s don’t have the same option. Very strange seeing as how they’re both Paccar.

[@jackrabbit897]

The amount of steering wheel holder is showing.. 🤣🤣 I agree it needs more turn signals and overall lights in general. Def. Turn signals though.. but beyond that.. use your eyes to judge distance.. if you can’t do that then you shouldn’t be driving..

[@KD-ss7rf]

My Pete doesn’t have all that and I can drive her just fine

[@belalberry]

I m driving a 2020 579 and totally agree , it’s dangerous truck, specially when traction control kick in when you don’t need it and brake for you, almost jackknife it

[@CIorox_BIeach]

Hear the thing about the suspension. I'd rather get jarred a little every now and again rather than try to get launched into orbit.

[@weshartman1894]

Radar lol remember those one things called eyes and mirrors? My truck has zero “safety tech” and puts in a safe day every day. Safety is on you, driver, not the tech.

[@jamesplatt1352]

With the exception of the exterior lights, for the ACC settings go to (settings) (general) there you can set time, units of measure, and how detailed you want the ACC to be.

[@dannypounders2907]

I have a 2023 pete 579. The turn signal on the side is a good point. It's on the front of the fender near the headlight. This truck is hard to keep centered in the lane. The collision avoidance system is very dangerous. It will brake check you.

[@T1miguel1T]

There is an indicator on the front near the fender. As far as the indicator on your dash, you have to go to your settings and able it. I drive the same truck as yours and never thought those were “safety” issues.

[@Popesontour]

Its got controllable air ride suspension doesn't it? And it has driver assistance which detects vehicles that may be too close! WTF 😒! Just read the manual bro and figure it out. Thats a beautiful new Pete!! What was your old truck? A 79 Mack?? Jesus Christ bro!!

[@ponypowertrucking]

Last truck was a 2021 Pete. There's so much difference between the trucks it's rediculious Out of every truck I've driven this is the one I hate the most

[@markrupprnkamp5832]

The International Pro star had some the same faults in 2010 with fully independent air ride . Pulling no baffled liquid tanks it caused drivers to over steer and roll over.

[@420HughMungus]

Did you write any of these items up on your daily inspections????? Like everyday since you got it ?????

[@peterstevenson9782]

Well the lazy steering is usually because the manufacturer installs super soft steer bushes to cut down on vibration noises.

[@rickeymorton6414]

I have a 579. Mine works perfect. I did have to get an alignment, but other than that no real issues, the radar can be turned on or turned off in the settings unless your company does not allow that.

[@MrGrandure]

Imagine if you had a manual steering gearbox truck. Lol

[@steveweebee5643]

Get an alignment done, and if you go into general options and scroll down you can turn on rpm display and distance on the screen. My 680 2nd gen was alittle like yours they can't do a good alignment when they are kicking one out the door every 10 min.

[@keys31157]

How did that get approved?? Side signal markers are DOT standard😵‍💫
