    Always liked the T800H. Big grill, tall hood. All business. Definitely have to have the big tires up front and a tasteful amount of extra chrome and lights.

    I love the comfort and ride of my new W990.
    But if budget and bills allowed it. I’m taking the X15 out and going with a 3406E.

    Congrats on your new rig. Not a fan of the 990. Kenworth ####ed up big time, but Petercar at least tried to do the 379/89’s justice with the 589.

    How about a 379 Peterbilt with Scania engine and electric drive axles?

    I think those generals are some of the coolest looking trucks.

    I wish GMC would make them again.

    Make sure the cab computers and digital dash will talk to the Cat first. Elkhorn Valley did a Cat swap on two new 389’s when the digital dash first came out and they wouldn’t even turn over. That’s why all the “assembled title” trucks they sell now are all older than 2022 model year.

    Gotta be only a matter of time before one of these young computer brains figures that out though.
