Be thankful that the driver wasn't hurt or killed and the rig wasn't damaged beyond repair. If that would have been the T680 or an anteater plastic rig - the deer might have landed in the cab. KENWORTH RULES!!! Leave the strip on the Pete. It's not gawdy.
With or without chrome strip on hood. The black paint is what makes those trucks so good looking. Besides it's your truck make it look the way you want and don't worry what anyone else wants unless the driver who is getting the truck doesn't want it.
What’s up sir Justin, like always, great content and info. Sorry to hear about the beans contract moving out of state right, but forgetting those things of the pass to press forward for the better that’s coming. Also, I agree with you on liking and keeping the stripe lol.
Hi Justin, sorry to hear about the bean contract I hope you are blessed with a more lucrative contract in the future. I agree with you about the stainless strip on the black Pete.
Hey Justin, just recently came across your channel and I'm loving it. I watch trucking videos all the time so I'm not sure why I haven't found you before now. Great videos, your company looks amazing. I grew up around trucks, riding with my grandfather, got my CDL when I was 19, and now work for a large farm and truck shop so I get to drive once in a while but I want to have some trucks of my own. Very inspiring to watch!
Years ago, 80's, when I was in your area, there was minimum one dead deer on every corner. I'm amazed you don't have more critter strikes. Best wishes from the far North.
I got a lead on an 05 w900l day cab. C15 Acert, 8LL, 13k front, 46k rear. Engine was rebuilt 160k ago, new turbos and new cat injectors within the last 20k miles( probably less then 10k on them) let me know
Thanks for the walking floor show and tell. All good info. The Detroit instead of the small Cat? I think you’re going down the right fork there. The Detroit’s and Mack seem to have a better handle on the smaller engines.Take care.
It is really hillarious, that everything is bigger in the USA.That "parking lot" at the beginning of the video, is at least 75% smaller in Germany. Why waste so much surface area just for moving trucks around? Why? Because you can!!!!I love America!
you need to check out corrosion defense. it actually soaks into the metal and its black when applied. I had mine done in allegany ny. it's completely stops the rust if it's already started
I like the chrome piece to be honest. I think it gives the truck a more unique look then most of the truck out there without the chrome piece… that would be my personal opinion
Justin God will always make a way for you thus you lost one contact God will bless you with another one just put your trust in him and let God do what he does best.
I like your trucks Kentworth are my favorite trucks the 9 hundred are nice you really do agreat job taking care of them ,respects go out you have a good eye for detail...
swap a c12 to c15 cat,,,,,, depends on ecm for e.g 70 pin or 120pin . All you just have to do is check chassis wiring into chassis plug into ecm . Kenworth wiring diagragm c12 and c15, comes down to swapping some wires around. Lot of iron is same for bothc12 ,c15 cats e,g mounts, air intake, cooling lines, fuel lines ,,, i know with detroit you need change front engine crossmember as detroits are offset front mount etc etc
Awesome video. You know what I would sell a truck I don't have use for. But would keep it for grain hauling or hauling other products like potatoes. I also prefer Cat 3406B and 3406E engines. It depends and I do like the strip on the hood.
Hey Justin great video as always. I’m sure you noticed but the audio was kind of off in this video. It kept being difficult to hear you pretty much the whole video. Hopefully you can find a workaround with the def trucks. I talked to a gentleman earlier this year who is driving an 84 Ford L 9000 because they did not want to deal with the emission stuff on new trucks. “Staying away from that blue crap” He goes it has an N14, it runs great and it’s old-school.
Have you ever looked into the Cat new engine program. You can get a brand new 3406E C15 engine and turn in any engine close to year for core. And get a heck of a warranty. I wonder about price?
I drove a truck many years ago, so I watched this clip and soon knew u know your stuff sir. Kudos to u! The chrome piece looks cool. Leave it. Question: how many times can a truck engine be rebuilt?
Yes, keep the strip not too many petes actually have them on them yes titans are very good trailers and of course, like you said get to wear in the caters front and back and also get a high impact floor much thicker, and longer were
I agree fluid film/oil isn’t a total solution but I believe it suppresses things. I Use it on our tractors/skid loaders used for plowing it’s worked very well so far.
Aerodynamics and weight vs durability has been a big trade off in trucks these last 30 years or so. I hit a BIG doe at 70 MPH in my old IH Paystar 5000 with the bumper, grille guard, fenders and hood all made of steel and the bottom of the bumper being 34” off the ground and it didn’t even put a dent in the truck anywhere. It sure did make a mess though, the deer kind of just exploded for lack of a better word.
Use maximizer fenders. I blew a drive tire sent the fender into the air about 30ft. AL I had to do was replace the mounting hardware. Those fender are very tough half the cost of fiber glass fenders
Bad time of year for deer strikes. We had four trucks running together one morning up on 17. Guys must of been driving /pushing deer ...well those four trucks hit 7 deer. MACK sold a lot of front end parts the next day. We had great luck with our C-12s before 700,000. We sold one and rebuilt the other for 40 grand. And it just wasn't the same motor. They have no piston sleeves and you almost have to machine the block.
Hi Justin ! Personally I like the stainless quarter fenders over painted fenders which in my opinion are over priced, and over rated. I really like that black Pete you recently purchased It has a lot of potential. You , and the family take care , and enjoy the upcoming thanksgiving holiday !
Hey Justin if your looking for another Detroit I have a 2007 sterling with a 14 liter in it and a good 10speed trans in it truck has only been in the south its whole life no rust
Sup Justin, as far as the strip I’d scrap it 🤣 , but anywho smart move on swapping that engine out , if it’s one of those series 60”s they were great . We still have two of them , and they each have over 800,000k on them , enjoy the rest of your week buddy .
Instead of putting a Detroit instead of the c12..you can Easily swap it to a c15 or 3406e. The c12 should be a 70 pin like a 3406e/6NZ c15. I swapped from a 3406e to c15 6NZ in my w900 and everything was just plug and play.
@@flintcreektransport if anything you will just need a 40 pin adapter to 70 pin to run a c15 or 3406e ecu.. they are fairly cheap. I have seen a c12 swapped to c15 6NZ with no problem.
Keep the strip. Don't even mess with taken the C12 to the shop. Especially since you have a 12.7 motor available. Just swap engines. Why waste time and a bunch of money when you have the 12.7 right there. Both is time consuming. But a 12.7 is way better than a C12. Just Saying. 🇺🇸 👍
Do not like to make two posts…….Just really wonder how the bean growers got pressured or threatened not to grow there produce….. enough said. Your channel is awesome.thanks 🇺🇸🇺🇸
It sucks Bucks are chasing hot does and running them crazy in PA. I am really carefull driving at night round here. One Deer can blast a hood off a W-9 or a 379 hood. Canuck moose gaurds will solve all direct hits.
If the chrome stripe is on there I’d leave it . But I wouldn’t go out and get one. Leave the cat in truck 125. Detroits suck. Sorry to hear about the beans. They did that with beans and pickles in my area 3 or 4 years ago.
Depending what one is asking a Cat C12 to do it's kid of like asking a boy to do a mans job. It can do it but not always the best to do. Turned up C12 or a C15 set at 475 hp. Not telling you anything you don't know you been around as the videos show.
Hey, that chrome strip is awful, never would have of any of my Pete's. Just looks cheap !!! Sorry about the beans, that's tough for so many people. Think positive, take care. ✌🏽🇺🇸
12.7 Detroit is a pretty good engine. I’ve had a half dozen of them. Got one in my 94 Pete and pretty happy.
All my trucks in Michigan had deer whistles, deer notice your truck
Be thankful that the driver wasn't hurt or killed and the rig wasn't damaged beyond repair. If that would have been the T680 or an anteater plastic rig - the deer might have landed in the cab. KENWORTH RULES!!! Leave the strip on the Pete. It's not gawdy.
For sure !!!!!
With or without chrome strip on hood. The black paint is what makes those trucks so good looking. Besides it's your truck make it look the way you want and don't worry what anyone else wants unless the driver who is getting the truck doesn't want it.
Im the same age as you with the love of non emission trucks and currently have 3 trucks and you are a inspiration
Hey buddy good to see you again buddy hope you an your family are doing great good luck see you soon
We are doing great !!!
What’s up sir Justin, like always, great content and info. Sorry to hear about the beans contract moving out of state right, but forgetting those things of the pass to press forward for the better that’s coming. Also, I agree with you on liking and keeping the stripe lol.

Hi Justin, sorry to hear about the bean contract I hope you are blessed with a more lucrative contract in the future. I agree with you about the stainless strip on the black Pete.
I totally agree. Also I would consider keeping the red Peterbilt. A good yard truck is very useful, and it's paid for. I enjoy your vlogs.😁🙏

Saw one of your trucks on 81 north the other day. Was pretty cool to see one in person
👍🏽😜👌🏽
There’s nothing wrong with the chrome strip it looks good to me keep it.
you need to check out corrosion defense. it actually soaks into the metal and its black when applied. I had mine done in allegany ny. it's completely stops the rust if it's already started
The chrome strip is nice but I like it the way it came from the factory Peterbilt's look great stock.
I like the chrome stripe!
Another good video! But your not selling me on the strip!
I like the chrome piece to be honest. I think it gives the truck a more unique look then most of the truck out there without the chrome piece… that would be my personal opinion
I think it only looks good with black !! 😜
I'm from the old school iron truck for 55 years on the road and I say without
Justin have tried putting Deer Alert Whistles on your trucks
Like your company and shop
Strip: ByeBye!
Justin God will always make a way for you thus you lost one contact God will bless you with another one just put your trust in him and let God do what he does best.

I’ve been working on getting the audio better !!! Thankyou
I like the chrome strip too just like the emblem surrounds like the flames and ovals around the peterbilt emblem
Like the chrome strip gives the Pete more class
Don't feel bad I had a deer hit my sleeper extender on my truck and it's 23 680 and as far that chrome piece it's okay
Have you ever looked into the Cat new engine program. You can get a brand new 3406E C15 engine and turn in any engine close to year for core. And get a heck of a warranty. I wonder about price?
Yes I see they are building again but never looked into it.
I like the 93 model!
The chrome piece sets it off right you made the right choice
I drove a truck many years ago, so I watched this clip and soon knew u know your stuff sir. Kudos to u! The chrome piece looks cool. Leave it. Question: how many times can a truck engine be rebuilt?
Multiple times …..
Thankyou for the kind words
That fender will definitely buff out... 😆 🤣 😂 ❤ from pnw oregon

I seen your green Kenworth when I was going down 14 heading in to Geneva today
Great informative video as usual 🙏💪
I enjoy your views. thanks
Thankyou
Man you've got a really nice facility, beautiful shop.
Thankyou
Truck 130, just go ahead and you know what it, you’ll be fine

A C-12 definitely has liners
Wow.
Your right I was mistaken I never owned or worked on one and was ten the last time we owned a truck with one
Get some boat zinc's and bolt them up in a few places.
Peterbilt is a good looking truck with or without a chrome strip.
Hi Justin ! Personally I like the stainless quarter fenders over painted fenders which in my opinion are over priced, and over rated. I really like that black Pete you recently purchased It has a lot of potential. You , and the family take care , and enjoy the upcoming thanksgiving holiday !

Great video Justin peterbilt are looking good 👍the chrome strip went out of style in 1999
Thankyou 😜
No chrome strip, but great video
Thankyou
Justin I forgot to tell you Marry Christmas happy New year
Merry Christmas !!!

Keep the chrome piece! 😊
Instead of putting a Detroit instead of the c12..you can Easily swap it to a c15 or 3406e. The c12 should be a 70 pin like a 3406e/6NZ c15. I swapped from a 3406e to c15 6NZ in my w900 and everything was just plug and play.
I think I’ll need a different harness anyway
@@flintcreektransport if anything you will just need a 40 pin adapter to 70 pin to run a c15 or 3406e ecu.. they are fairly cheap. I have seen a c12 swapped to c15 6NZ with no problem.
The chrome strip on the Peterbilt's hood is cool and a bit classy, leave it.
Keep the strip. Don't even mess with taken the C12 to the shop. Especially since you have a 12.7 motor available. Just swap engines. Why waste time and a bunch of money when you have the 12.7 right there. Both is time consuming. But a 12.7 is way better than a C12. Just Saying. 🇺🇸 👍
Agreed 💯
i like it more chrome is the way to go from Davison Michigan
love you video's great content
Thankyou
Dang deer, can't keep nothing nice!
How did you get started was this a family business handed down or a rich person looking for a new business investment?
Blood sweat and tears brother !!! It’s a family business but I worked from the start of it and there my entire life !!!
Leave the strip OUT! Granted they're not as bad as those awful chrome louver strips but less is more. Clean looks better
Stripes are okay.
Chrome over color
A 3406E Is a easy swap for a c12. Uses same wiring..
Do not like to make two posts…….Just really wonder how the bean growers got pressured or threatened not to grow there produce….. enough said. Your channel is awesome.thanks 🇺🇸🇺🇸
That I’m not sure ….. ny state is not friendly for business…..
that shop😊
Gr8 Vid Mr Justin
Thankyou !!
Take the chrome stip on truck # 153. Doesn't really fit the truck.
not a fan of the strip.the straight black hood looks much better.
Get you a Marine Scania V8 16.4 Litre. Should be putting out about a 1000hp..!!
Wow
Just like with Motorcycles.
Chrome don't get you home.
Great video sir!
Thankyou
Question have you ever thought about some herd bumpers maybe you don’t like the looks?? Atleast to save some front ends lucky it was just fenders
Not a fan of the looks plus they add weight
It sucks Bucks are chasing hot does and running them crazy in PA. I am really carefull driving at night round here. One Deer can blast a hood off a W-9 or a 379 hood. Canuck moose gaurds will solve all direct hits.
@@Hrodd2.. Yep I got something for you,you garbage BOT. FO
I thought he said he had video of the accident
Hey if y'all planning on getting rid of them deer damage fenders il take them! Lol
We are checking if they still can get us 1 if not they gotta go

I like the stripe, but am worried about rust forming under it. Also the chrome is money spent with no return.
Warm up that Detroit and stick it under the hood.
keep the strip bling is king
😜
I thought that by now most of the bugs had been worked out of the newer emission engines?
No ….
@@flintcreektransport well thank the government.
They all SUCK ..... Wont outlast my Series 60 Ever ......
Your gonna have drivers fighting over that Detroit engine them will pull any Yellow engine if you tune them right 💯
Maybe stock yellow 😜🤣
Grit blast ?
Can you use the engine in the international you bought a year ago
I could. Saving that 😜. Stay tuned 😉 I got some pretty crazy stuff coming up !!!!!!
KEEP THE STRIP
Hey, that chrome strip is awful, never would have of any of my Pete's. Just looks cheap !!!
Sorry about the beans, that's tough for so many people.
Think positive, take care. ✌🏽🇺🇸
Thankyou
Just fix the one cylinder on the C-12 for about $5000.... you don't have rebuilt the entire engine.
Just put a c 15 in it
Leave the strip on that Peterbilt looks good on the Peterbilt Peterbilt is king of all trucks
KENWORTH is the WORLD'S BEST!!!!! PETES are Fine Trucks as well
🤐
Whats the info on truck 130? Spec
2019 500 Cummins 13 speed 380k miles. Still under warranty. Around 150k)
Yeah I don't care for the strip either.
What’s a 6nz worth
Depends on who rebuilt it and if it has warranty etc
