Looking at new Pete's

I would go with a 389 flattop but that's just me. Lol

 

What "gadgets" can you possibly get in a 579 that you can't also get in a 389??

 

Have you lived with a new emissions truck...?

If you don't do Cali (that much) do your self a favor and do a glider...

P.S. I said the same thing " cause I can" and the new ( at the time) emissions truck almost buried me...lol

 

If your going to go with a Glider Kit, I check regulations on how it will be titled. Technically, if the truck is listed as a 2015/2016, it has to meet the emission standards for that year. Not really sure how Glider makers get around this, but I'm sure they have a way. Just my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth. Me personally, if you want a pre-emissions truck, find a nice 2007 and have a complete overhaul done on the motor and drivetrain. Good Luck.

 

Just a start with a 6NZ

Steering wheel controls..........smartwheel BS can be had in a 389. The GD "navstar"? panel?? Oh dear Lord SKIP the in-dash navigation/smart guages on ANY Paccar product and go with a high quality stand alone gps.

 

Friend, you are like many others who want to act educated on gliders and how they "must" meet emission standards for the year of chassis manufacture.

This is patently untrue. There is nothing to "get around".

If you want a pre-emissions truck..............nothing better than a brand new rolling glider with a reman engine and trans.
