I used to work at the Peterbilt assembly plant. They just assemble the trucks, not make sure they can drive. They push them off the line with a forklift about every 3rd truck. I can assure you there are many more things wrong or not done on that truck. I can tell you that the paint will be flawless because they know that the paint is the most important thing that the owners look at.

I love peterbilts but holy hell the QC is becoming a joke. You pay 250,000$ for a brand new truck just to have to build it yourself. Also that air cleaner bolt has a thread insert which means you’ll be taking that off to grind down the head probably damage your new paint to punch it out and insert a new one.

The monetary equivalent of a 3 bedroom 2 car integral garage 1500 square foot raised ranch on a suburban quarter acre in America's Midwest 25 years ago. Yes, I would have that rig back at the dealership the following day, especially with the clutch issue!!! C'mon PACCAR, this is no way to build, and deliver a Peterbilt, to a customer in this day and age. I have listened to driver after driver, or owmer/operators bemoaning the low quality of product coming from the factories 🏭 of Class 7, and 8 manufacturers and like other areas and aspects of American manufacturing, this needs to end!!!!!

Welcome to the "new normal"...where everything is built like garbage because no one cares anymore about building quality. Those are issues that do not fly on a truck built to work every day. And that doesn't include...what did they screw up that you can't see or haven't caught yet? If they stripped a bolt for the air cleaner, who is to say they didn't do the same on a suspension or steering part?.... Or a few cab bolts that hold it to the frame?.... Or loose engine mounts.....or a badly aligned transmission. This could be a bad rabbit hole to go down.

I wouldn't have taken delivery of it, I woulda walked back in the dealership brought a salesman out and told them to fix it.

How can it be a pleasure to drive if the clutch is wrong? "it's impossible to move"

The clutch problem is actually quite common here recently with peterbilts. There's an alignment/installation pin on the adjuster for the clutch that wasn't removed when they installed it. I have this happen to one of the new trucks we picked up. You better get that taken care of, if you don't drive it too long they'll put a whole new clutch in it for you for free.

@oliver_klozoff

@@mikegrazio5376 what are you in the 1970s? No there is a pin that locks the auto adjuster in place for assembly as these are shipped to the line as units. It's meant to be removed when bolted to the engine and when left in will not let the adjuster do its job. Being out of adjustment will (in our case) not let you use the clutch brake, and after a little wear and Peterbilt insisting there was nothing wrong, made the clutch mostly inoperative. Finally got it to a real Peterbilt mechanic in Elko and he warrantied the clutch. Next truck we ordered had the same problem, but the pin was removed from the inspection plate and it was saved.... QA is really lacking on their assembly lines.

Once I got home I’ve noticed that my 18 speed was really hard to get out of reverse and both doors are showing day light on top of the door. The rubber for the weather stripping wasn’t put on right either and the hood strip won’t stay on. Every time you would open the hood you had to press it back on. And paid almost 200,000.00 cash.
