W900 vs 379 (Not a pis-sing match)

Seems like you're referring to your truck in the past tense. Do you still have it?

 

379 turns tighter than a w9. i think they ride better. both are dang good trucks.

 

If you swap the front axle for a wide track a W9 will turn tight. The 95 I owned had one and the W9 I drove in Hawaii had also been swapped out.

 

Interesting, I'd like to know more about that swap. Would it work on an 09 W9?

 

Not that T600. I have an FLD Freightliner now with Detroit power.

Both nice trucks but to me, KW has always looked more "tough" and rugged. The Peterbilts look more show-y. There's just something about the KW grill and body lines that really make them stand out in a crowd of trucks.

 

Not to mention that nearly everyone (around here at least) has a Pete. And they all look alike. But, the owners seem to think they have something special. Whatever.

Pull up in a shiny W900, you'll command some level of respect. Champagne falls from the sky, lot lizards abound, even the wheel polisher in the parking lot gives discounts.

I dunno, if I can't have a W900, I'll keep my Western Star. That's just me though.
