    They aren't bad when you get a bunch of extra chrome on them, and while the wide cab isn't "traditional" those KW stand up sleepers are incredibly well laid-out (the spin-around passenger seat with the table and TV mount is brilliant). Hand me the keys to one with a 565/2050 X15 with a 18-speed and you wouldn't catch me complaining.

    I wouldn't buy one though.

    Yep that bigger hood looks better. That’s a 13 letter #### spreader I wouldn’t mind owning. But I #### sure ain’t trading my W900l for one. Got to keep the worlds best.

    JD, The outside of the cab didnt really change much tho. The 93 model and older 9400 and 9370 had a flat dash. It didn't have the big center switch panel area like the 9300 and post 1994 model 9400 had and they changed all the gauges and switches. If that makes sense

    I checked Connors memorial wall - you guys are top notch.

    Don’t change the reality - but it’s still good.

    Peterbilt 567, Kenworth T880, etc. Vocational setup, can load up on heavy-spec equipment.

    All I can tell you that I’ve learned -

    Slow consistent draw kills batteries, they’re better off used as quick hard (starter) pulls.

    Dead batteries (1 or 2 out of 4) kills alternators.

    Buy lower CCA batteries - lead plate spaced further apart, less incidence of fusing/shorting.

    I change batteries every 18 months,
    $600 or so, I replace alternator every 250k regardless. $250 or so. Big deal.

    With the large car - many, many problems are created by poor charge/storage.

    My 2c.
