    One of the only things I like about the newer Pete's is they moved your trolly brake to the dash and put the jake brake off the side of the wheel where the trolly brake used to be it took alot of getting used to but now i don't even think about it and it's right there to just slide it on and off as you need it

  • @uckett

    I've got a 98 w900L. Looks like yours is better than mine was. I took the left side stop out, which controls the right side and it will cut really deep to the left now. But you cannot take the left stop out because when you turn to the right, your tire will rub on the steering sector. For some reason Mr Dot doesn't like that. You can still adjust it so that your left tire barely clears the steering sector that will give you a whole lot more turn.. just be careful if you do that, be sure your airlines and wires are long enough to reach when you turn all the way.. try it you might like it.

    I have a w900. I went to lowes and picked up a pvc pipe connector, take the bottom of your cup holder from the truck in with you. The pvc will raise the height of your cup holder. If you cant live with the white pvc wrap it in a cricut sheet.

    There’s a shift knob that is identical to the 13/18 speed shifter but has a lighted toggle switch for the Jake brakes on the opposite side as the side splitter so you can engage and disengage Jake’s while shifting. I run a 379 legacy long hood and a 379 short hood and the short hoods somehow got you beat on bad turning radius. I’m debating on a w9 but I’d have to run it a bit first the hood looks great from outside but I’m a little unsure from the inside. Probably wouldn’t be as bad if I remove the bug shield on it

Leave your switches up there for other purposes. Be sure to throw out that crap radio. Get a Joying head unit. Research them for your best fit.

    W900 doesn't have near the turning radius of those Volvo themed trucks, for a newer driver these Volvo near Hanover trucks have a huge advantage when backing ,making U turns, and enhanced vision , ,they don't make Volvos with CUMMINS anymore but if you could find one with a 13 or 18 spd its like gold, city driving will better a quaint you with your trucks capabilities and refine your backing skills, not to mention the aerodynamics of these Volvo style trucks affords better fuel economy so 13 or 18 spa Tran 2007 or older CUMMINS, is how I'd go.

      That's one thing I was thinking with this truck. You need to do most things better, or more thought out than you would in a newer shorter truck.

    I just want to know one thing??? Who in the hell thought it was a good idea to put the foot feed on an angle like that?????? I drove a W 9 B model Areodyne for a friend to St Louis once. The most uncomfortable thing I have ever driven! My back hurt so damn bad by the time I got to Indianapolis I was ready to sell it for scrap and take a bus home! Drove a T 800 a bit. Same damn thing. Worthless! Yeah they look cool but I wouldn't have one for any reason! Just my opinion of course.
