I did. Four days later????!........in BC by this time you'd had made good friends with Jamie Davis. Though he already got rid of his W* rotator, come to think of it.
youre not complaining?!?!?!?, my friend yes, yes you are. , HOWEVER you give people like myself a warning about what to look for and how to repair it. much appreciated my friend
I would prefer western star then freight shaker. Seem like western star dont have many storage in front of cab but plenty storage in sleeper which is A plus in my book. Every truck not perfect as long you comforable. Congrats on your new truck rusty. Keep videos going trucker.
Ah Dang it! i'm starting to like this truck.. loved the Retro looks. Volvo might get jealous. the 1st time i watched your video, Volvo VNL is actually my 1st love.
For the extra power jacks, they make 12V extra outlet boxes, and you can sometimes find them with a nice long cord. When you buy them check the plug first to be sure it will stay in the receptacle in the truck. Some fit snug and some will be too loose. Also, you can get a 12V to multiple 5V USB power strip as well. You can then just use a normal USB power cord to power your GPS or Camera or anything else that has a USB power requirement.
Repeat after me Rusty, Fifty Seven Hundred. Western Star years ago was top-of-the-line custom built truck. Once they got bought out, they've gone downhill. It's nice good luck with it.
May I suggest reading the history of Western Star trucks? I think you will be amazed and gain fresh insight on the truck and the brand’s place in history.
Anyone rememeber marmon? Contrary to popular belief (because of its looks and location) navistar internatioanl took over and remember when freightliner was white frieghtliner
Excitement is killing... the exterior is slay... the interior is 50/50... again there is no such perfect handsome... always have an issue... just like the saying goes, when you solve a problem another one is coming to be solve... Always Be a blessings.. and keep safe always...
Privet Rusty! Thanks for the video. I think I'd rather have the Western Star because it looks different and much better. Also it stands out on the road filled with Freightliners
make sure you have a torx 25 screw driver for acces to the fuse panel. i dont know why but this is the fisrt 5700xe that isaw without a glove box... i have one in my 4700sb
Hey Rusty, I spend my weekend by binge watching your videos. I love trucks and I love roads and the way you deliver your content, is bang on. Here's a fan all the way from India.
Fellow commenters feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but believe this is the high roof configuration not the ultra high which is why the interior roof line stops before the top of the aero fender. Also I think the wood trim is real wood or at least it use to be, same with the leather either that or you have the vinyl options. Also that "new" freightliner steering wheel is from Mercedes trucks in Europe. Heard you complaining about the dash board switches, you can pull that dash panel off and reconfigure those switches in any order you like. Also the lack of storage above the seats is because of the roof being almost flat in that area versus the Volvo or Freightliner or really any other trucks having the roof like slope up almost immediately after the windshield. The name is pronounced fifty seven hundred not five thousand seven hundred.
It’s truly a beautiful truck. That chrome grille and bumper is intimidating. It might would have been nice to have a few more bells and whistles but it’s still sweet. Stay safe out there brother and keep on trucking. P.S. that’s hard to do when you’re on the hook.
Oh shit it has air disc brakes?! That's a huge advantage. I've never driven a tractor that has them. And for people confused as to why he keeps saying retro, hes referring to the straight boxy lines of the front of the tractor, instead of the sloping angular lines of a modern Cascadia or VNL. It looks awesome.
Hey Rus... tell as about a pre trip prep ., food , clothing., snags ., etc .. may be a good idea for a video .. thanks Rus .. keep posting my friend. Thanks
If any side you would need a sleeper window is on the Blind side for Blind side backing you can not Beat-it,makes life so much easier...what were they thinking .
Thanks for your honest review on this truck. Would you please tell me about your last issue with this truck. In your last video it show that you towed it. Im trying to make decision to buy my Dad Western or Cascadia. Help me out man. Thanks
That star is sweet :) Its a bit tough comparing to the others. It’s a new hood and redone gages and steering wheel but that cab, doors , dash etc hasn’t changed much since 1996. If u compared a 96 Volvo aero WIA and a 96 freight liner fld120 u may find that star a bit modern.

Hell yeahhh, form INDIA 🇮🇳
All it's missing is a sick paint job and exhaust stacks in the rear to be Optimus Prime
My thoughts exactly. 👍🙂
optimus prime was freightliner a cab-over though :/
@@usmchardcore0621 Maybe in one form. Although I know at the end of the movie he looked like a western star.
@@jfhistand7245 huh, i was assuming we were talking about the original haha my bad :)

Fun fact the western star actually has lowered beds if it is a bunk so it’s not as high

Great Western Truck,great Video !!!!! Keep on Trucking
I just scrolled down to check if u had a new video and now u just posted a video. Amazing
I left a cascadia for a western star and I love the extra length-bobtailling feels just as smooth as towing a trailer
I would prefer western star then freight shaker. Seem like western star dont have many storage in front of cab but plenty storage in sleeper which is A plus in my book. Every truck not perfect as long you comforable. Congrats on your new truck rusty. Keep videos going trucker.
@Sarah Levitskaya q
Western star 1500 looks nice
Ah Dang it! i'm starting to like this truck.. loved the Retro looks. Volvo might get jealous. the 1st time i watched your video, Volvo VNL is actually my 1st love.
Thanks for the tour Rusty looks good..Enjoy!...still not a PACCAR but that's just me...be safe!
For me, modern style trucks look waaayy better than retro. My absolute favorite is the 2020 Volvo. That is a beauty!
Congratulations brother new truck 👍
Western star for sure
Headlight revolution for new head light bulbs. GREAT LED STOCK AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!
Dig the nod to Daddy Doug 0:42
I was dead at the Rihanna reference tho 😂😂
Good stuff as usual m8
Thank you for another awesome ride!
Stay safe @TheRustyCracker
Thanks
Im literally here because i searched for optimus prime truck.

I hope you have fun with you new truck man and have a good day
Thank you
your camera skills are much improved
a good video shoot makes watching much more pleasant
good job
Old-school trucking is a cabover with a Detroit Diesel 6V92...
Western Star Trucks are the best
The light are a plus because they will not blind me when you are driving behind me or coming straight at me.
Open the ash tray and run the cord around across the top close it then plug it in. Maybe it’ll hold it in place.
It's a good day when rusty uploads
Hands down the Western Star

i would hate to delete myself with a mini fridge..lol
Happens
Those new western stars are really good looking trucks.. Love trucking videos..
You need a window on the right for blind side backing
Daimler/Chrysler brought freight liner and Western Star brands they’re virtually the same truck all owned by Mercedes now
Do you mean Daimler? Because Chrysler belongs to FIAT now, not Mercedes anymore
That's why freightliner cascadia and western star have same wheel Mercedes originally had it on the Mercedes Benz actros
Mercedes also owned sterling
Detroit Diesel use to be part of GM before Mercedes Benz took it over
Anyone rememeber marmon? Contrary to popular belief (because of its looks and location) navistar internatioanl took over and remember when freightliner was white frieghtliner
had a weed burner on my freight shaker. as well as the pete

Privet Rusty! Thanks for the video. I think I'd rather have the Western Star because it looks different and much better. Also it stands out on the road filled with Freightliners
Even Mercedes Benz actros have same steering wheel.❤️from India DUECES ✌️🇮🇳
Yesss new upload i was waiting for so long😭😭
Nice Truck
Love from INDIA
Love the western hope you enjoy as much as I like watching
Awesome looking truck!!!
Hello cousin. Im your Pacific NW cousin, who is also a truck driver.
Yay the new video is here. Can’t wait to watch it.
You should install a ladder and make a cover for that roof area so it can be storage space.
make sure you have a torx 25 screw driver for acces to the fuse panel. i dont know why but this is the fisrt 5700xe that isaw without a glove box... i have one in my 4700sb
Nice video my personal prefrence nobody beats Volvo truck comfort and drive quality as far as engine and electric issues that can go either way.
I love how this truck looks and im not a big chrome guy when it comes too new cars bit this truck the chrome suits
That's a nice review bro on your new truck! Congratulations! Greetings from the Philippines

I love the western star there’s just so much room and tbh I love how homey it is
Its bascially a classy version of the cascadia
I have been Waiting
Hey rusty what about your volvo truck project? Been waiting for another episode for months
Soon
@@TheRustyCracker upload more frequently if possible
@@narcisbaralija it takes time to upload because it takes him 2 weeks on the road and 2 weeks at home so it takes time to edit and upload
@@liampolk5881 I know but it was very hard to do 2 jobs at once but yeah I get what your saying
I agree Rusty👍🏽😎 My hopes are that You can rebuild Your Volvo in to Your “dream-truck” the way YOU want it to be built!👍🏽❤️🥰

It's better looking than the cascadia which I don't like the looks of the cascadia sleeper can because of those top windows look so ugly
I have a 2016 western star 5700 what elog do you use? I have keep Truckin and it makes it throw codes
Big road
That is a beautiful truck!
I think the Western Star 5700 is better in many ways' can't wait too see more video's of u driving it around ^^
Love your videos man keep it up 💥

Watching frm INDIA ♥️🥰
DAMN, THEY SURE ARE MOVING YOU IN AND OUT OF TRUCKS PRETTY OFTEN!!
All of your videos are very good
Just show us what you eat in truck, what you eat on highway restaurants.
love the look of the WS
Thanks for your honest review on this truck. Would you please tell me about your last issue with this truck. In your last video it show that you towed it. Im trying to make decision to buy my Dad Western or Cascadia. Help me out man. Thanks
Keep her polished man! Its not the easiest to polish but it looks so good!👌
i love the western star always did it and my kenworths and petes
In Europe that steering wheel is from the Mercedes Actros...also the gearbox selector and also the engine...DD13 and DD15...
Trailer brake levers use to be on the steering column. I see there are putting them on the dash now. 🤔
I like the new Mack’s
Love you truck and you videos stay safe ✌🇿🇦🇺🇸
Yooo ive been waiting for thiss, btw may i ask you on how you got yourself being good in fixing vehicles?
My dad
