    You have a Pete? All this time I thought it was a binder?

    Well after I gave $500,000 for the truck, I didn't have much money left over. Good thing I don't need fuel money

    That’s a 265” 379 though not a W9.....

    I’ve got a 253” 359exhd and a 238” T800. I pull 53 ft spreads.

    I think the Pete will “almost” turn with the T8 so I imagine a 244” W9 would be a bigger circle. One of these days Im going to try a circle with both of them.

    I think there are a bunch of us on the same page as you and oldskool. Like I said before, mine is a 99. The fact that I can run without an eld is secondary to me. I like 99's and under simply because I think they are a hell of a lot better truck and for sure, cheaper to work on. I'll go anywhere in my truck with the feeling it will get me back.

    I never rode in a Pete to tell if it turns tighter- though I have heard that a LOT from every Peterbilt guy ever (eyeroll)
