What do you drive?

What year is that from? That’s great, standard Detroit. Wow! 80s and 90s Cat was it. Had to have the mud flaps, hat, gloves, and work boots too. Lol

 

That’s just what Guys would say, along with b model Cats were better than C models. Facts don’t matter, When it comes to opinions. I had a C model, it was great, except for the Peec electronics, but that’s a whole other history lesson. Detroit stole Engineering secrets from Cat for the electronic injection system, leaving Cat behind in the technology. Later settled in court. But the famed electronic injection Detroit’s are credited for, originally was Cats project.

 

I just noticed it says 320 hp. Base engine must have been a 11L. I wonder. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 379 with an 11L Detroit. Very interesting,

 

It is a 1988 brochure. They were gearing up for the 50th anniversary the next year in ‘89.

 

I agree with your view on the w900.


I Couldn’t figure out what I liked about it over a Pete back when I first started driving and knew nothing about trucks .

It’s the peak in the hood and grill that gives it that distinctive look.

Sharp truck.

 

Interesting. I thought the N14 wasn't available until around '91?

 

2001 international Eagle.c 15 13 speed.Sitting in my yard for now till I find a decent company to lease on with.Paid $7.500 for it in 2008 an owner operator at WTI had gotten a Two in it...needed money for fines and attorneys.1.8mil on the dial.

 

There was a mechinical N-14 that was availiable before that. Very rare. It was the bridge between the Nt88 and the electronic N-14. Cummins was testing them out with a rather large grocery company here in SA back in the late 80’s thru about ‘92 in some White/GMC/Volvos. They also had some with water cooled after coolers on them like the BC4. Pete was really pushing the series 60 back then as the future engine. People fought back with what engines they ordered and let them know that Cat was what they wanted most so Pete gradually put Cats in the majority of them “standard” by the time the model 379 ended.
If you look up Bob Spooners yellow 1961 Peterbilt 351 on you tube you will see he still runs that truck with a old mechanical water after cooled N-14.

 

I still have to run an ELD in it for logs.

 

Pics?
