Retired to the farm now. Drove otr for 46 years. My truck is Retired as well.
It's a 03 379 c 16 18 sp 285wb stand up.
Put farm tags on it and me 53 drop. Haul alittle hay from time to time or farm stuff close to home.
Just can't seen to part ways with the old girl.
11 years old? It’s an ‘04. This must be an older video. Beautiful truck, Dave, inside and out. I always appreciated the 379, it’s a piece of trucking nostalgia without a doubt. You gave me yet another reason to detest super singles. I didn’t know that if you blew one you’d end up needing a new wheel as well. No thanks! Hang on to that thing.
Great stuff Dave, the truck looks really good. Take care of yourself and your bride and be safe out there.
Greg
Yes, I probably will! Yes, not a fan of the s.s.
She's a keeper
Good looking truck.... Hard to let a beauty like that go. It's like a dog you've owned since it was a pup, that's well aged, you don't want your heart to be broken, when that time does come, to separate ways. 🤔🤫😇🙏💖
Hey there Folks. Thanks for dropping by to catch today's upload. Any thoughts about my truck? I get so close to selling it, but then end up changing my mind. Seems like such a shame to let it sit, but it's hard to let go! Any thoughts? Love to hear 'em.
I'd say keep it at this point if you didn't sell it at the peak of covid when trucks were super expensive you could get a good amount now but it's not really worth it I don't think
To add my 2004 Freightliner classic has a 1989 3406B 425Hp cat with a 18 spd 264rears small rubber I love that set up the bmodel in my opinion is the most reliable cat engine ever
My brother in-law has a 379 with the 300 ntc big cam Cummins. He can't seem to let it go either!
Dave I have watched this video off and on over the yrs. I love your truck. She's a Old School beauty.
That's a fantastic truck, Dave! Keep being good to it and keep it as long as you can. The new stuff just isn't as good.
Brother, that is one Bad Ass truck .... with the emissions issue we deal with today you have yourself one rare bird.
that's how i like trucks simple clean and functional
Beautiful truck and engine. Keep it - plenty of Cat parts to keep you going!!
Old truckers, as they say, don’t die. They just get a new Peterbilt! Happy truckin’
I miss my 97 flat top. Being 6'6" people thought I was nuts but I loved that truck
Man, beautiful rig. Thanks for the memories of my 379's. Time marches on and good Ole days are recalled.
that back window is the thing i always wanted......i ran cab overs for a while...doing city and road work......god making right turns.....that window is the best
Thank you, Dave. A beautiful million mile Pete!
Man, I miss trucking after watching this video.
Beautiful truck and very well taken care of. I can tell your proud and you should be
Thanks for sharing your opinion and experience.
You don't get the value in re-sale back if you don't sell it! Lol. Nice truck, man. Super cool.
I turned away from Paccar years ago. Love the old Pete corvette dash.
Only problem with an older truck, is the companies dont like them. They want you in debt, so you cant pull up stakes & leave them.
I still have my 96 Heritage Star car, thatll still run circles around most
They don't want guys with paid off trucks or pre-eld trucks either.
i have my 96 registered as not for hire and 26k had it 21 years i can’t let it go either
Beautiful truck, I am running a 03 379 7cz c16 cat 18 spd 3.70 rears, factory 300" wheelbase with Canadian spread rear axles, has 851,000 original miles on it, bought the truck brand new in 03, been a very nice truck, and power plant, have had 0 issues
Yaa, nice rig. I drove a 04/Pete 379 like yours hauling chips or sticks to the papermill w/a 475 Cat. The idling Cat is like a lullaby
Enjoy your videos. Very informative. Keep them coming. I'm an old school trucker hauling logs and pulpwood over 50 years. Still working during summer months. Great video, thanks!
Don't sell it!
You can't replace it with anything better.
Best Wishes from Montana! M.H.
Beautiful truck!! I was wondering when we were gonna see her!
I love these old videos
The truck is absolutely impressive. It's in great condition for all the miles. 😀👍
The one thing I don't understand about our American colleagues is why you have so few headlights on your trucks? You can drive faster than we do here in Germany, and you can also drive longer distances without traffic. Here it's normal for everyone to have 6-8 additional headlights, usually LED. 🤨
Hard to believe 2004 was 20 years ago and when my Grandma passed . seems like yesterday
It looks clean and neat. Impressive.
If you ever do sell it, there will probably be a video on it and you will be in tears as it’s rolling away.
Nice rig brother keep the rubber side down and stay safe out there
About time , Got a thing for flattops 😎
What a truck Dave! Thanks for sharing a tour
Beautiful 379
The higher of clearance also means more drag, which causes worse fuel mileage. I’ve never had a transmission or rear end overheat. You must have the caterpillar ACERT engine. I remember back in the day you did not run a cat below 1500 RPM and you usually shifted it around 18 to 2000.
Beautiful truck sir, love how original and nice it looks. God bless. ❤
60 mph is the best low stress
Nice truck thanks for sharing
Beautiful truck!
Oh that’s a good old pre emission Cat C15. But your 11R24.5 rubber means there’s little demand for the casings. I didn’t realize that 7” exhausts run cooler. But that 280” wheelbase is far too long for me. I drove many cab overs and prefer them for the maneuverability.
Sweet truck
Smart man on glider kit
Super nice, very cool
Our rigs have a deep connection to our work, it’s part of our identity. Personally I don’t know how to retire. I would not have an easy time giving up such an iconic truck.
I don’t drive now but when I retire I might just do that. You are an inspiration.
Could you guys talk about the heavy haul industry and the grain and fertilizer hauling industries. That could be pretty
Wow she sure looks great, period, not to mention she's 24years old, California has gone off the rails, no more CATAPILLAR engines which I considered to be the best, engines on the market, David you're not alone I would never spec a truck out in today's world, unreliable with prices for a nice pete, or a kenworth with a long hood starting around 200,000- 250,000 DOLLARS, that's okay I'll keep running my older truck,
NICE.
I'm driving a 567 ATM and it turns like a battleship
If you do ever sell it, I know a young tanker yanker that would love to drive it. Its me.
Never liked ovals except Ford Kenworth and Freightliner yes looking for a K100
Sounds like it may be an old video. My old 98 Freightliner is still in the yard .Haven't work much in the last two years. My buddys advice back on the day was nevet fall in love with your truck. I think its time to cash mine out. Are you still working yours ?
It can breathe 😊
It's a nice truck. What kinds of trailers did you usually pull with it?
3 digit mph 👍
Yes sir
Great video but it was a bit hard to hear you when you were in the truck with the engine running.
its all about the seat and the engine
Saweet brother
I have one like that
Going to super singles saved me 460 lbs.
I have tire pressure monitoring and only gone through 1 rim.
A premmision truck will allow a business to be financially sound.
Emmission era trucks have improved marginally and will still bankrupt the owner due to no availability of diagnostics poor to no parts availability.
Hopefully, the manufacturers will band together and let them know are going to put the nation into the dark ages..
At this time, new glider trucks are not being produced.
The industry needs to have reality introduced before it collapses. Really...
Never sell that truck its durablity equals reliability. Ps. That truck has many milions of miles left.
Keep it rolling...
She's pretty 😍😍🥰🥰😎🤠✅
I’m surprised that your 379 has the mirrors on the doors
The 04 900L and the 07 379 I drove for a company in Pa had them mounted to the cowl as did all their subsequent 389’s
Can't even buy a glider kit anymore, I hate emissions regulations.
My brother got married then he took my KW w900 A to his wedding lol
what brand of muffler do you have? thank you
Just a question why didn’t you increase your hp to at lease 600 hp?
Your Pete is a good looking truck. When you specked the truck, you said you didn't want the super singles. I myself wouldn't even consider the super singles because to me their just like putting steer tires on all ten wheels, it's fine if you don't mind paying for rims as well. To me that's wasted money. And I'm interested in money in the bank not in tires and rims..
At 1200 rpm Dave your borderline not making enough oil pressure to lube the top end properly
Are you still driving full time? How many miles are you putting on these days?
So if you where ordering a new truck today what would it be and how would you spec it
If I was specing a new truck it would have to be a W900L if for the only reason being that KW is still putting analog speedometers and tachs in them
How much torque does your cat have?
do you legally have to have a muffler ?
Why would you ever get rid of it? Peak Peterbilt.
There is no reason the go with super singles unless your driving a front discharge concrete mixer.
Ain't Broke, don't fix it.
I’m keeping my 2004 classic xl till the government says I can’t run it no more then I’ll sue and start even start a class action suit with other drivers to get a new trucks of our choices for absolutely free since we can’t afford a new one that ours is paid for and essentially they’ll be putting us out of business
I hope you are not in your bunk with your shoes on
Sorry for the dumb question had to go and didn't watch the whole show
Ah yes California ain't it doing well with all its "laws"😐.....said no one
Volvo Is better
