Ask a Peterbilt Dealer!

i love the 387, what specs should I look for to do Long OTR haul, but be able to haul anything I may encounter? thanks

 

I have a 2000 379 with a Detroit. Can I get a service manual for this truck through Peterbilt anymore with the Detroit in it?

 

Been online on your website and seen a whole 4 387's....is there more out there than just those, and would the pete store ship a truck for me?

 

Another place for me to look for ways to spend my income..... Groan.... LOL

 

You can buy manuals thru Peterbilt, but truth be told, unless they have stock on service manuals, they would have to order them from a Detroit dealer. People ask me all the time, and I point them to Inland Power Group (in our area) or a Freightliner dealer. Books are around $160+ depending on your pricing agreement with the dealer, or if the parts guy likes you or not

You can also try e-bay; people are selling books there all the time.


Once again, this is from experience in the Chicago area.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try the Detroit dealer.

 

Does anyone know where I can find a used 97 Peterbilt sleeper that is 36"? I have been looking everywhere and I cant find any. Or if anyone knows what websites that sell sleepers. I would appreciate the help! Thank you.

 

What do you do to keep DEF from freezing in the winter? I live in Wisconsin and that seems like it would freeze,especially whenthe engine is off for a while. Also, what should I use to keep the fuel from gelling with the new motors? I have been out of trucking for quite a while and need the latest practices... thanks.

 

Do not put anything in the DEF to keep it from freezing, there are heaters in the tank to thaw it out once you engine is running.
