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.

Have to be meticulous at keeping the U-bolts tight on Pete suspension. That’s why they crack the housings. They hammer. From my understanding cat will take a competitor engine as core so I think they have a good thing going

I wouldn't buy anything without a sleeper, now a days. Even if it's just a 32". Any chance for a driver to drive 4 more hours of available driving time in his logbook, is worth gold to me.

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.

Very interesting,,,, great news about Cat too !! My 2016 Pete Glider doors were the same with the top gap. I think quality suffered some as they were building them as fast as possible. My body shop fixed them, but doors had to be removed. Good luck !!!

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

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.

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.

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!

I'd pass on that Pete.
