    About to finalize my first ever order on a W900L, my name has been called for production and it’s going to be 9 months earlier than anticipated.

    Are there any obscure or common but overlooked specs or options from Kenworth/Paccar that some don’t know of?

    Truck will pull dry/reefer @ 80k. I can post some general specs in the thread if you guys want to give it a gander and maybe direct me in another direction on some of them.

    Andy, The Kenworth guy on YouTube, says W9's should always have the bottom hood supports (it hangs off the frame so when you close the hood, it supports the bottom area behind the fender which keeps the fender from cracking where it meets the hood)

    Andy has a YouTube channel(Andy, The Kenworth Guy) where he goes over a lot of his new truck's that he has custom spec'd for customers...even though he's in Canada, pretty sure the stuff he orders is available in the USA.

    Yeah, they lost me when they went with that digital dash and steering wheel. I tried getting my hands on the last of the 22’s but with no luck.

    Remote lube system, makes greasing most points easier. Disk brakes if you haven’t already done so.
