Kenworth Electrical Issues Common?

I don't own one now but my '98 T-300 was bulletproof... no issues on that one.

A W900 is a well built truck. I prefer my Pete because of it's lower profile that makes it easier for an old man with bad knees to get in and out... there's nothing nicer than a KW with a VIT or Seattle interior IMHO.

The only disadvantage (for me) is they can be a little heavier than a 379... depending on how it's spec'd. That may not be an issue for you...

 

I've never had any KW's leave me stranded or made me go to a shop for electrical reasons. I have come across a lot of little bs stuff like lights and guages but it seems most of the time it's related to water damage or corrosion. Nothing out of the ordinary or nothing worse then any other brand of truck. That's just been my experience. Good luck.

 

Only trucks I've heard of with electrical issues is International, first few years of KW T2000's and Volvo. But I've never had any electrical issues with KW.

 

i have seen a few electrical issues with w9s
but they were the oddity--usually very few issues
man at 6'4" you must have been crammed in that shaker
i am only 5-10 and i couldnt stretch out my legs

 

Never had electrical issues with any of my KWs and the way my last one LEAKED thank god , would have went POOF.

 

If you want to hear about electrical problems, talk to one of us that has a Volvo!
