Nice Pete. Looks like they did a good job. For all those asking for axle part numbers, Meritor makes several in different king pin intersection widths. 12,000#/69" width, 5" drop, MFS-12-124A-N. 12,000#/71.5" width, 5" drop, MFS-12-144A-N. Spring mounting surfaces vary in width. Pete and KW are the same. Disclaimer.... Do your own confirmation research. I'm just a 43 yr. Owner/Operator/Mech. Your local dealer should be able to get you the exact one you need. Trouble is, they don't usually care or will tell you 9 ways it won't work...
The belly strap is to prevent the frame rails from twisting inward causing the frame rails to crack. Pete’s are known for the tops of the frame rails cracking near the rear of the engine.
Greg as you lifted the hood I was thinking... Knowing your affinity for black paint, when is the CAT coming out for a paint job? You could always detail pinstripe cat yellow on it in a couple spots.
Great choice that is the best option for air ride. Very dependable and easy to maintain if needed. She’s going to feel alittle funny to you on the first few corners but you will get use to it.
When are we going to see some p level improvements? More go less show!! Need some big boom stick and wootang war whistle action!! Looks awesome though.
As I pointed out in previous videos, Please get a set of used newer style cab doors so your door handles match the sleepers door handle. !st sign of a cobble job rebuild. You did everything so nice GO Al the Way.Right with your truck.
You can weld the frame there. Forward of the front hangers and behind the last axle is ok. Not in the middle. The weld crystallize the steel and causes cracks.
Hhhmmmmm... this is just the video I needed to see. I've got a 2002 Freightliner school bus that I have a body swap plan for and have been trying to find a way to drop the front and add air. I'm new to diesels too so I'm definitely going to be checking out this shop... and they're only two hours away from me! Subbed!
Ya, we dropped my sons 379 by singling out the factory spring, 389 air bag hangers and positioning valve and then custom dual shock bracket on each side. Way less work and expense.
My partner walked in while I was watching your channel. She was very concerned why I was watching youtube videos about semi trucks 🤣. Had to make sure I wasnt going to start peterbuilt shopping I guess.
@@BadGoat92 there are air disk brakes. He would have to swap axles to put them on but the newer models come factory with disc's. Extra stopping power, easier maintenance
@@gregulate891 Since this post I’ve had a guy tell him a 389 axle will bolt up in the current 379 location with out swapping the spring. So I guess I’m in the hunt for a 389 disc brake front axle.
Would have loved to give Dirty Diesels my business again but after calling 3 times to set up an appt, and being told I will be called back with never calling me back...I've since found someone else.
Ok Greg. So The last newer video I watched of yours was a truck meet/show deal where you acted like a drunk teenage boy. I decided to go back and watch old school Greg A. You know the No Boost days. In fact the last video I watched was Andrew selling the diesel rabbit. So yeah, years ago. This video shows a real advance in filming and editing. What a leap. Honestly Greg, take Mike and get back to who you are. I love my but the Jersey stomping grounds with Andrew, Mr. No Boost, and ol' Sendit is where you belong. I love Mike and don't want him to go. Man's full of knowledge for his age. I love ya Greg but miss you before the attitude change you went through.
@@Jason_Shelby77 I haven't seen a kit I would assume you'd have to pull the disc brake system off a newer truck but being I've driven trucks with drums and trucks with disc brakes night and day difference I like the old iron but I'll give that to the new trucks that they stop better
@@petrinkyle I love my old 379, I’m getting ready to stretch it to 300”, and was looking at newer disc brake cutoffs, and possibly swapping the front also.
@@Jason_Shelby77 if the cost isn't any crazy difference I would say go for the disc brake cut off all the way. They look like the maintenance is easy on them changing pads out and there's no real adjustment to them if they feel slacked off you push the brake pedal real good and they firm right up
You talk too much.... the first 3 mins were repetitive... If you want to talk, talk about what they are doing and why not showing shots of their showroom and repeating yourself, js Edit: throwing these comments as the video goes, watching from start to finish... glad to hear some explanation, great work! (I am just throwing out constructive criticism as I see it in real time) Edit: watched to the end, you have done a great job filling us in with everything, just a little much up front... thanks!!

Gloss black with CAT yellow logo on the valve cover, and CAT yellow pinstripes😋 would be even more of a gorgeous build.

Read slamming a peterbilt and had to hit like before watching the video
You better get the bumper flip up on there or you won't have it long
A bumper lift kit would be easier
The Peterbilt is what's about to go down! 😛
“Take a lil trip take a lil trip with me… low rida….” 🔊🔊🤪🤪🤘🏻🤘🏻
Man the rig is gonna look even better it's already nice enjoy it man good looking truck you got.
I’m actually surprised mike isn’t doing the work with Greg watching !
When are we going to see some p level improvements? More go less show!! Need some big boom stick and wootang war whistle action!! Looks awesome though.
Big boom stick and wootang war whistles 😂🤘🏼
Very good question sir, It’s got my vote 🙋🏼♂️( electronic of course, no mail in 😉 )
How about the partnumber for the axel and leaf springs nice ride !!

Never expected to see my pos 4th gen on UA-cam haha
Definitely learning something new here 🔨 ⬇️
Awesome video can't wait to see the end result !
Just what you need to bend your bumper even harder !
He's looking at getting one that raises up and down to get in and out of places.
@@brackoncorbridge1966 yeah i remember lol , maybe he will do that next
He will add an flip or lift kit on bumper for that issue.

Looking good. Before did not sound DOT clear
Do you have that part number on that car hauler axle ? Want to replaced mine with a unit like that one
I'm a diesel tech an work on these daily... I could smell this video
Big truck stuff. I want one cuz of you
There is a ton of stuff in that shop. Making use of all their space

Interesting you have them doing semi work instead of Fitzgerald. 🧐😄
So you installed a 389 front axle and springs from a factory air ride?

Great video
Nice...are the part numbers for the axle (Dana Spicer) E1320W or E1323W ??
I was hoping to see the yellow super duty in the corner of the new shop lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Time to put new mirror brackets on
Anyone know the part number or where to get that axle? Been looking for a car hauler axle for my 359 project and can't seem to find one
If you already have front air ride whats needed to dump the air bags on the fly ?
😎👍
So when do you do disc brakes for that stopping power?!
Air brakes bud
@@BadGoat92 there are air disk brakes. He would have to swap axles to put them on but the newer models come factory with disc's.
Extra stopping power, easier maintenance
#loosen tools is progress!!!
Does it have the oil pan that will clear the axle when you lower it down
In the WEEDS
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk, that's a lot of work
Looks like a 389 leaf spring
That’s my question was that a 389 axle and leaf spring? I try to see if I can swap a 389 disc brake front axle onto my 379.
Let me know if you do I have a 379 to I would like to put air bags

@@gregulate891 I’m already putting a 12ga air ride on the front, just looking to match the disc brakes to a rear cutoff with disc brakes.
Thank you for the info the one I have is a 1994 what year do I have to get on the 389 sorry I’m new at this it my first truck
You have part # for the parts you used?
Next is a front disc brake conversion
Is there there a disc brake conversion kit for the 379 front axle?
Would have loved to give Dirty Diesels my business again but after calling 3 times to set up an appt, and being told I will be called back with never calling me back...I've since found someone else.
Whats the part number for the leaf spring
Dawson- we want to see CJ’s work, not Greg talking lol
Wrench WOrks = Liquid Wrench lol
What’s the part number on the new front axle?
What is the part number for the spring leaf..? TIA
Yea I need that and the car hauler axle as well, I like to gather things one at a time rather than getting everything done together
@@anthonytaveras1365 yea same here already got that axle now them spring leafs. Airbags probably go with Arroyo customs. From cali
@@j.cvaldivia432 where did you get the axles? Do you have a part number I can look up ? Is there anyway I can contact you privately? (IG, FB ?)
@@anthonytaveras1365 my buddy just had the car hauler wrecked at his yard. I measured it and it sure is a 5in drop.
get train horns on the truck next
Why you gonna get one of the big 50 foot stacker race trailer to go behind the pete to haul the Dodge race trucks
next year 5 feet frame stretch.

Disc brake conversion?

Hey how much hp does your 3rd gen have?
Your truck is too short. It definitely needs a frame stretch asap.

What's the price
If you aren’t use to front air ride you are gunna regret putting that kit on, I’ve drove trucks with it and hated every minute of it
Probably bc there is no sway bar. The new Volvos have a front sway bar, so no more swaying.
Need custom made wheels for the peterbuilt
Where is Mike???

Why bag a Pete must not do any work in life
It's a play toy not worried about making a living with this truck!
Plenty of working trucks out there with full air ride.
It's just a toy, but, he's making money on content and likes. He will pulling a race car trailer behind it when he buys one.
There are plenty of trucks on the road that have front air ride like this that work everyday.
Brand new Pete's come with air bags on all corners including the front. It makes for a smoother ride
