KW GLIDER

Looks like I need to start buyin lottery tickets!

 

By chance would these be aerocab/bunk or could we be able to get old style modular bunk?

 

If true, its better late than never. Stupid not to have been offering them anyway .

 

I wouldn't think it would matter which model you picked. I've seen several 2012 with the 42" modular sleeper. Not sure why anyone would want the wall behind the seat but to each their own.

 

You can buy a good used t660 with a acert in it and convert it to 6NZ or 7CZ cheaper than you can build a glider,By the way I deliver a couple of times a week @ KW in Chillicothe,Oh. and an design engineer was supervising the detailing of the new truck a couple of days before MATS and I asked him about a flat top version or maybe a glider kit, and he grinned a very guilty grin and said"no one has told him to build one yet." I'm just say'n.....

 

My family has 2 W900L's that were both ordered from Kenworth in Enfield CT and we were talking to the salesman one day and he said because of the price of the trucks and there location they don't keep many on the lot.. But like someone mentioned about dealer in Birmingham they one the other hand have quite a few W900L's on the lot ready to go.. I wish they were spec'd out like ours are, It would have made it much easier for us than waiting 8 months to get a truck.

I really hope the W900 doesn't go anywhere, I think it's the best looking truck on the market... It use to be slightly cheaper than the Pete 379, But those days are gone. Time will tell I guess

 

Any T-660 you find with a Cat will have a DPF. They came out in 08

 

DPF cats are easy to fix with a PDI delete. Unlike a Cummins you don't have to swap turbos.

 

In Ontario we do have to pass emissions tests. I would need to be able to use something like the Bully dog that would allow me to return to stock once every other year to pass the test.

A glider that would only require me to meet emissions for the year of the motor would be my first choice by a long shot... And I could get the heavy specs I want.

 

If your going to convert to a 6NZ or &CZ(the original statement was he wanted a 6NZ in a T-660) you will have to replace the compound tubos with a single turbo.
