KW vs Pete for an oil patch?

20/46 axles..... 18 front springs and 46 primaxx on rear. 236" wheelbase and it rides great . And it will handle the weight too....

I had to replace the 2 torque rods that go from the frame to the top of the diff housing. That's all in 6.5 years.....

Truck does 107k every day.....on 6 axles.


T-800 is a nice HH ride.... If your doing a day cab get the extended one....or the studio sleeper route!

 

go go look at the winch trucks running around up there. 90 percent of them are running Neway air ride, that's what I ran on my winch trucks and it would definitely take a beating moving rigs. We never had any traction issues either. These were all t800's bought and rigged in Edmonton. They are all still running although under a different outfit.

 

KW wants you to buy a Paccar suspension instead of a Neway product. Get the Neway with a 60" spread. Unless it's a Tridem, go with 54 inch as Tridem at 60 inch is illegal on a tractor.

 

I know for awhile kw would not spec a ag460 for a dump trailer app, because of stability . But they have changed and now offer it....



My primaxx.... Less expensive then neway...

 

Airtrac or primax, I haven't run a new Pete or KW, but AG anything suspension sucks anywhere but dry pavement. Airtrac is proven tough long lasting really tractionable suspension. primaxx will wheel chatter if the shocks are hot or week. And Petes have exponentially better cross members.
Too bad KW won't put airtrac on a truck, kind of shows where their head is stuck.

 

Nrg if you go kw get the center mount tow hook...... Off-road it's priceless ......
