Geeze Andy said it’s a 52”?! 🤔 How can they call it a 52 when it doesn’t look anything more than a 36”? Does anyone know how KW is arriving at their measurements? 🤷🏻♂️🤔
@@joeseymour4073 from what I've heard, they measure with the seats all the way forward to the back of the cab. For an integral sleeper like the NGP Cab family (T680, 990, 579 etc) Should just be from the back of the door to the back of the cab imo.
@DMTruckSpotting Ok thanks yeah I don’t agree with how they are determining the sleeper size. I’d think they’d be measuring from where the back wall of the cab would be, if it was a day cab, to the back of the sleeper. 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Andy, this goes into my "one of my favorites" list. I`m more of a subtle elegance guy. I love the green flake with a slightly different shade accent green. The straight pipes really set the truck off. To me this is one classy, beautiful truck, tastefully done.
Yes! KW should be doing that at the factory! I don’t care for that big clear lens look these 990s have; what they did with the paint matched vinyl overlays is awesome! 👍🏻
What is the width between the steps and the fuel tanks on both sides, or what is the minimum you could do. I'm looking to do exhaust like this. Thanks.
Yehhhh finally both stacks work Question though about the gear ratio ; I always thought that the lower the gear ratio number, the faster the speed at a lower rpm. You said 3:08 lower.
That air shut off is a really good idea. Back in the late 70s I drove a tank truck in the oil field and had engine run away several times but was always able to get air shut off before any engine damage. That's one fine looking truck with coffin style flat top
Hey andy do you know when kenwoth plans to discontinue the w900L/B? Also can you still order a flatglass (two piece windshield) with modular style 42 inch bunk? My local kenworth dealer said he hasn't been able to order that spec since 2011. I call bs.
We looked at one like that recently but we decided to buy a Scania R620, it humiliates it in everything, the KW looks like junk, I didn't know there was so much difference between European and American trucks, greetings from Mexico.
Just wondering if anyone has enquired about putting a aero 1 type sleeper on one of these 990 day cabs🤷♂️🤷♂️would be interesting to see a computer generated design the kids make on their computers these days 👍🏻
What a shame how KW dropped the ball on the 990. Interior looks like a plastic Korean car from 20 years ago, terrible reliability from the electrical system. W900s just keep going up in value on the used market, no one wants these or T880s.
love these 50” flattop sleepers. this one is the best one I’ve seen so far

@@joeseymour4073 that makes sense too; it’d help a lot with knowing dimensions of the truck
The paint job is amazing.
Andy. I’m no truck driver, but I love trucks. Truly enjoy your videos.
Thanks 👍
See he connected the driver's side stack. They should've came from the factory like that!! Excellent truck!!
I agree!!
Yo ! diesel engs. We're not meant to be bogged down with lobbyist epa regs..it's cheaper by the mile to pay the fine deleting using FRUITPUNCH.

Always a great video Andy. I wasn't fond of the 990 in the beginning, but you've starting to change my mind.
4:00
Nice headlight turn signal combination!

Drove one of these for a few weeks while my truck was in the shop. Nice truck.
Okay mine was an 18 speed, this looks terrible as an auto
Sweet Sound of American 🇺🇸 🫠😉 Trucks
I see white road boss found a market for all of their left over hoods from the 70s and 80s
Good job Andy
It looks like a cross between a Western Star and a Corn Binder. But it is nice.
The vinyl on the headlights helps the looks significantly. The big headlights are so ugly otherwise...
Look like an old corn binder with new lip stick. Bring back the W...
When you make a kenworth look like an international. Incredible.
What is the width between the steps and the fuel tanks on both sides, or what is the minimum you could do. I'm looking to do exhaust like this. Thanks.
Where did you get the straightpipe exhaust from? Looking for one for our 2022 990
This looks like a Range Rover from 90's.
Thank you for the video Andy and wish you all the best.
Thanks, you too!
That’s a beautiful truck. Good show.
Thanks 👍
I'm not a fan of the w990 but this but you killed this one if it hade a bigger sleeper I would buy this one GREAT JOB🎉😊
Beautiful truck, killin it with the 990s
I want that black kw polo too 😅
Something about these new flat tops make it look off. Aero cab flat tops are the best looking in my opinion
Wow, truck from the future!
Yehhhh finally both stacks work
Question though about the gear ratio ; I always thought that the lower the gear ratio number, the faster the speed at a lower rpm. You said 3:08 lower.
Beautiful ride
It sure is!
Very nice her Andy your lucky 😅 great job
Honestly I want to order my kenworth through you
Why would you put that pos 450 efficiency in there?
Love the color truck is really nice i prefer manual trans though
Amazing truck!
That's a beautiful truck
Brother stay safe 🙏
That's the truth!
Do the straight pipes actually make these engines sound better with the emissions stuff?
FLATTOPS FTW ALWAYS!

Nice W990 Andy !!
How much for that sleeper vs 40" flat
Why ain't them there wheels a rollin ? 0:40
what is the chassis weight of this beauty ?
????????
did i miss it running? i kinda fast forward it.
Y’all should try to take the chrome boogers off the side , and put some air cans , to see what it look like
Why make look even more silly..?
So a 589 peterbilt

Nice truck Andy
Thanks 👍
I'm looking for a midroof w990 with a custom paint job like this truck. Do you guys have anything similar available?
Can you tell us about the 100 anniversary w900 . I understand only 900 are to be built
He has already done a video on them and yes they are only making 900 of the 100th anniversary w900

I ordered two last year. Still available
They need to bring the Aerodyne and breathers back!!!!
Awesome
Sweet looking Rig.
Thanks 👍
What size fuel tanks on it...
Awesome truck! Just not made for a long and tall driver like me. 5’11”😂
Fair enough!
Спасибо за видео
Sleeper need 2 be little longer. To match hood length...

all the truck needs is a better set of headlights
wow

Beautiful Truck?
Sure is!
9:29 Air guillotine, AKA: positive air shutoff.
yup
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
Front end definitely needs to be lowered a bit.....
Not a fan of zero storage on this W990 package.
Never been a fan of windows in the bunk.
450hp what are you pulling, dispatcher brains lmao because 450 is a complete joke
Never going to be a fan of the 990, but this one is sort of ok, i guess.
I was completely in love with this truck until I saw behind the block. Automatic. Lame.
150 torque 😢!!
Long ass intros on these videos. I
Sorry, but you can' make this International with a KW hood ornament look good.
Calm down little boy it's only a video

A automatic…………
You lost me at an Automatic……all that truck….just to get inside and see an automatic…….no thanks….
No stick? Get it outta my face. What’s your company? 🏳️🌈Truck Sales?
