I'm kinda in the same boat here ordering a new one. Have they gave you any lead time on it? 3-4 months?

I’m all about new trucks - old trucks are just plain ugly on the inside.
It comes down to the driver and training them right.
Aka, no idling or high idle when needed to idle. -
You're messing with us right?!? Not a single part I can't still get for my 01. Body, engine or whatever all still available through peterbilt.
Way easier to work on. Way less to go wrong, no parts on back order and I can fix it myself.black_dog106, Speed_Drums, Vampire and 5 others Thank this. -
D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

AModelCat, jason6541, GYPSY65 and 1 other person Thank this.

I also limit idle time and add and maybe maintain my truck better than the guy dragging his trailer through the ditches
Not all company or other drivers are clueless but my guess is that the majority of them arejason6541 Thanks this. -

I have 2 trucks one is 40 yrs old the other is 36 yrs old .. I can still get any part I need for either of them in fact there are 2 companies that specialize in parts for the trucks I have
I just had a drive shaft built .. I asked if parts were hard to get he said not that was aware of.. new or old trucks last I knew they all have drive shafts..
Personally.. I will keep bust'n my knuckles and cussing while I work on my trucks vs. Making payments and wondering what the repair& tow bill is gonna be when a sensor fails .. JMOblack_dog106, wore out, Speed_Drums and 2 others Thank this. -
GYPSY65 Thanks this.
