The tow company I work at bought a 2001 Kenworth w900L with the same engine straight piped. It came with 7 inch straight pipes. The truck is now a tow truck. We put a 2017 Miller industries 75 ton rotator on it. It was before one of our heavy haul trucks and it is our most powerful truck. It makes 600 (stock) we upgraded it and put power into it. It now makes 1000hp. Yep. Really badass truck. The CAT engine is an amazing engine. Greg, Buy some straight pipes for it. It’ll sound great
That small tank is the wet tank air goes there first before primary and secondary to catch most of the moisture ur main air line goes from comp to dryer then to wet tank
Since moving tanks back, could do side pipes on each side, for ac sys, since going 36 sleeper could get day cab expansion valve setup an not worry about heat/ac in sleeper
all trucks should have 3 air tanks lol primary, secondary, and your wet tank which makes the "chhhhhh" sound when it cuts out your compressor at full psi , loving this content man cheers from canada
A nice set of straight pipes, a drop visor and some nice led lights and you have yourself an amazing unit! Oh, and paint the new roof cap and fenders a nice matching colour to really make the truck stand out! edit #4:I keep coming back when I think of more things to make it cool haha. It would also look good with a nice set of full fenders out back. Plus if you are going to day cab it you will want fenders unless you want rocks to come through your back window everytime you drive it. Full fenders make it look good and saves windows lol. I think this is the last idea, which is heavy steer tires (325 or bigger)
ive been using my HF impacts for at least 7 years day in and day out on heavy equipment ...using them as drivers, sockets, and welded to them, literally cant beat them for the price, never had one fail...PSA to all the guys that rave snapon, i use snapon myself but have broken more snapon tools than HF
If you find some smaller 120 gallon fuel tanks from a salvage yard or somewhere with that small sleeper you are about to put on should make the frame rail show a little more, because 150 gallon tanks are real long
Alcoa 22.5×12.25 , I move drilling rigs in northern Alberta and BC, canada. All our KW c5s and well every single truck we have has the flat front front wheels. But probably alot wider of a front tire than hes wanting to go to lowering it.
I got a jack if you need to use one and also have jack stands. And call across the road at truck pro and see if they have u bolts. They’re pretty good at having just about anything you would need. And they are stupid cheap with exhaust pipe.
Yes the 379 looks good without a sleeper But its just really useful to have a sleeper making trips no need for hotels and a with a sleeper painted Looks way better than a daycab
That small motor is an apu. Auxiliary power unit. Looks like it comes with its own heater core under the sleeper and it’s own generator. That generator should produce equivalent to a 6500 watt apu. Easily. Then produce heat in the cab. Some even have their own ac compressor and evaporater and ac condenser under the bunk. So u get heat in winter and ac in summer with out running the truck. They usually retail for 8-15k new installed. Depending on model. 2500-5500 used. Depending on hours and condition and maker. Craigslist it. You may get some change for it from the right person.
GREG! Thought I might give a suggestion since you had mentioned that the color red is starting to grow on you. Thought a Toreador Red from Ford would look insane on this truck!
You could put some small 3/4 in led lights they are a little dot but super bright i install those down the sides of the trailers every 12 inches it looks bad a$$ at night with over a 100 led lights
Most trucks have 3 air tanks, or 1 tank that has 3 sections in it. You have your wet tank, then primary and secondary. Wet tank is the first tank in the system!
Greg if your going to put prairie pipes on it becarful because if you drive on grass or pull off on the shoulder it will catch the grass on fire especially when exhaust temps are high!!!
Run some straight pipes up to some 10" bull hauler or Aussie cut stacks. It will sound wicked especially when jaking. When you shift with the Jake it will sound mean. Keep up the good videos. This is the best channels on TH-cam
Dang I need a y pipe and those shields lol air tabl setup is normal, the tool box is factory pete box just missing step. If lowering the front you have to lower the rear. Otherwise you throw the drive line angle out and start tearing up ujoints and yokes
For tools and shop equipment check out Northern Tool. There is a brick and mortar store 52 miles from Bowling Green Ky in Madison Tn or you can order online and have it shipped to you.
Just first time visiting channel. Loved all the content for sure. Not exactly being new know where the Peterbilt builds going but. For myself the tanks need to be moved under the bunk and get new battery box steps. Looks so much nicer on a Petercar. Just my opinion.. great stuff anyhow.
More then likely the wheels on that truck is what they call budd wheels centered with the lug nuts the right socket you want to have to take them off is called a budd wheel socket the socket is an 1-1/2 with a 13/16 square drive on the inside to remove the rear wheels the outside wheel has a lug nut and the inside wheel is held on with a thimble lug nut threaded inside and outside and had a square on the end to remove them and on these types of wheels the left side of the truck is left hand threads and the right side is right hand threads. They also make a plastic ring that goes on the wheels to protect them from the socket scratching them
There is a 9 inch stack kit that exists for this truck but it will not fit with your fuel tanks sitting under neith the cab but it will ifnyou move them under the sleeper
You need a resonator for your exhaust. It will deepen the sound when you straight pipe it. And your "little engine" is called a APU. Auxiliary Power Unit
Trucks usually have 2 or 3 air tanks on them, DO NOT just remove one and think you’re fine. If you move them take into account the length of line going to the tanks originally and you need the same length when you move it. I’d get someone more experienced to help you.
Primary(brakes) Secondary(auxiliary) Wet tank(collects the moisture in the system that isn’t blown out or caught by the air dryer. Never ever remove a tank but if you plan on moving make sure all plumbing is put back where it originally came from.
Not sure how soon you’re going to find your sleeper, but I’ve seen trucks being shipped with plexiglass bolted in sleeper opening until the sleeper was installed
I no betts in Ontario California they bend bolts leaf springs but don't no if they have other location, a I no you can go get grade 8 bolts from a hard wear store drill out a plate with that pattern and a center hole and clamp it to together till you get bolts
Dropping the front will require a caster adjustment after. It’s probably gonna cause problems cracking the pitman arm. It’s probably gonna cause problems with the pinion angles at the front rear end. I know guys who also had spring problems on the lead drive axle. Do your research.
Ain't no feeling like Peter Mobiling 🤣 That Kitty Cummins intro made me chuckle out loud . 3 ton floor jack will pick them up easy . Just don't trust it , use yer safety third training . 😨👍
Anyone else bust out laughing when he’s reving it and bolts are falling out 😂🤣
😂😂😂
I've have had the same harbor freight impact sockets for 15 years. With no problems.

3 minutes after bringing the truck home.... Ite Iamma cut the exhaust off
I put 5" straight pipe on my 06 mega cab. Great sound and lower egts
Bill Cornwell I need to do that on my 4th gen 👌
@@Tuxedorunner I love it. Loud as he'll especially under load. But downfall is if you are required for emissions testing
Bill Cornwell yeah, that’s true plus I am a hotshot guy 🤦🏼♂️
That motor is called a Apu unit. it's the heating an AC for the sleeper while truck isn't running
I just clicked off Adam lzs video doing a wheely in a side by side for this better be good
Greg I use those sockets all the time! They are great for the money!
There's a semi wreck in yard right outside Louisville just north of you. It's in 65north so should he easy to find. They may have the tanks an sleeper
I can ask I am outside the yard not sure about a 36" sleeper but I can ask in the morning
Jeremy Leverette wait Louisville is close to him? Where’s he live? Because i live pretty close to Louisville.
@@cameronnalley3197 he moved from new Jersey to bowling Green couple months ago
Jeremy Leverette oh wow that’s pretty cool. I almost went to bowling green for LS Fest but I got sick. Not too far away so there’s always next year :)
Why not do a day cab get the long frame look
agreed
It called a apu. I bet ally is about to lose her mind with all the parts laying out
Since moving tanks back, could do side pipes on each side, for ac sys, since going 36 sleeper could get day cab expansion valve setup an not worry about heat/ac in sleeper

Heck with it I love Harbor Freight. Have yet to be let down by anything from there.
A nice set of straight pipes, a drop visor and some nice led lights and you have yourself an amazing unit!

We use a snapon 3/4" air gun with a deep 33mm socket for lug nuts on the hub pilot wheels.
peter is going to look SICK!!! excited to take the journey with you!
First gut with a 379 build channel...very nice just brought a steering wheel for my 359...
ive been using my HF impacts for at least 7 years day in and day out on heavy equipment ...using them as drivers, sockets, and welded to them, literally cant beat them for the price, never had one fail...PSA to all the guys that rave snapon, i use snapon myself but have broken more snapon tools than HF
day cab it, 8” stacks, and dual revolution lights, and ur good to go
carlos perez nah 36”flat top with bull hauler stacks. 379’s look weird as a day cab
@@Rocking_B no, 379 ultracabs look weird as day cabs... The ultra cab only looks good with a 63" or 72" stand up
Ultra cab daycabs with extended cabs are the best. More leg room
Has to be 8” straight pipes with a ton of lights and a nice big ole drop visor 👍🏿
When it comes to the larger sockets and wrenches cheep works just fine and no need for expensive sockets
Let me know how much you want for the parts sleeper stacks what ever else you take off live right down the road
Hey this keep deleting my comments for some reason, Call me at the shop or email me so we can discuss the parts Thanks!
That third tank is your wet tank to your air supply (dont Greg A delete that) its crucial part of your air system
You should get rid of your Italian sandwich shop umbrella above your door on your shop haha
I can see it know Greg's Piza and Pasta🙌
I'm pretty sure he's got Italian in his blood and he's from the northeast. That thing isn't going anywhere 😂😂
Italian sandwiches are delicious
He said in a video that he hates it. Hes gonna take it off
I seen on made out of a John Deere hood 🤔
You should move the tanks back to under the sleeper and put steps with a battery box on drivers side and steps with toolbox on the passenger side
That sleeper looks like the exact one Weston bought for his wrecked peterbilt
If you find some smaller 120 gallon fuel tanks from a salvage yard or somewhere with that small sleeper you are about to put on should make the frame rail show a little more, because 150 gallon tanks are real long
Needs heavy haul wheels and tires for the front and keep the headache rack just move it forward with the new bunk
Alcoa 22.5×12.25 , I move drilling rigs in northern Alberta and BC, canada. All our KW c5s and well every single truck we have has the flat front front wheels. But probably alot wider of a front tire than hes wanting to go to lowering it.
Fleetpride is a joke , I have to deal with those knuckle heads at work..
Same fleetpride is a joke as well we deal with those meatballs daily 😂😂😂😂
Where I work we call em Gaypride lol
Those harbor freight sockets are just fine for ol Peter. 👍
Hell no, time to sell P. B. If y'all think that way. That is just fcking Wrong !
I got a jack if you need to use one and also have jack stands. And call across the road at truck pro and see if they have u bolts. They’re pretty good at having just about anything you would need. And they are stupid cheap with exhaust pipe.
I work for a small paving/hauling company we have 7 trucks i use those sockets everyday no problems even the earthquake 1in impact is decent
10:02 apu, auxiliary power unit
all semi's have a form of 3 tanks... wet/supply, primary and secondary..
Harbor freight sockets are some of the strongest you will ever find. Have many mechanic friends that use them
I use Harbor Freight tools ever day and they're cheap and awesome
@@jasonstrout4502 some of there stuff is junk but there impact sockets and ratchets and earthquake impacts are the best bang for the buck
The set of wheels and tires on the side at 6:24 are nice
9:25 There goes the 10mm socket!
The little engine is called an APU (auxiliary power unit) also take the headache rack off first it will be easier
Was the Jake break still turned on.
That Peterbilt is from my town. I know the guy who owned it.
If it's the wet tank you'll want to keep it for the air drier
How are you liking it over at speed Kings?
Little engine is an APU
Yes the 379 looks good without a sleeper
But its just really useful to have a sleeper making trips no need for hotels and a with a sleeper painted
Looks way better than a daycab
That small motor is an apu. Auxiliary power unit.
Looks like it comes with its own heater core under the sleeper and it’s own generator. That generator should produce equivalent to a 6500 watt apu. Easily.
Then produce heat in the cab.
Some even have their own ac compressor and evaporater and ac condenser under the bunk. So u get heat in winter and ac in summer with out running the truck.
They usually retail for 8-15k new installed. Depending on model. 2500-5500 used. Depending on hours and condition and maker.
Craigslist it. You may get some change for it from the right person.
It's an APU, auxiliary power unit. The most common brand is Thermo King
“Little engine little motor” is an apu, truck sounds sweet
GREG! Thought I might give a suggestion since you had mentioned that the color red is starting to grow on you. Thought a Toreador Red from Ford would look insane on this truck!
Love straight pipes!
Looking great both old pete and the shop. One dtep at a time
Can you please tell me in what video you took the blocks off the front suspension!!!!
You could put some small 3/4 in led lights they are a little dot but super bright i install those down the sides of the trailers every 12 inches it looks bad a$$ at night with over a 100 led lights
Most trucks have 3 air tanks, or 1 tank that has 3 sections in it. You have your wet tank, then primary and secondary. Wet tank is the first tank in the system!
YESSSS GREG A VIDEO!!!!
I’m so excited for this build man
I have a 379 flat top with front mounted tanks, and im finding it next to impossible to find a 8 inch exhaust. so tempted to move my tanks backwards
Greg if your going to put prairie pipes on it becarful because if you drive on grass or pull off on the shoulder it will catch the grass on fire especially when exhaust temps are high!!!
8:47 Is what you're here for.
going by the look of all the trucks that you build, im gonna geuss pete is gonna be a sharp ride. cant wait to see more of the transformation
What are you asking for the Generator? Will be up that way the 14th.
Greg . We got an old coffin sleeper for your flat top came off a 75 359. .
Up here in Michigan in the thumb
We put a talledega one piece roof on ours. Was an excellent fit
Turn the Jake brake off of you wanna rev it up. Sounds a lot better that way
Run some straight pipes up to some 10" bull hauler or Aussie cut stacks. It will sound wicked especially when jaking. When you shift with the Jake it will sound mean. Keep up the good videos. This is the best channels on TH-cam
Awesome awesome video Greg A, more Peterbuilt truck content nice lol. And some shop content. Overall I think your weekend was very productive lol.
Greg, love this build, can't wait to see more
Dang I need a y pipe and those shields lol air tabl setup is normal, the tool box is factory pete box just missing step. If lowering the front you have to lower the rear. Otherwise you throw the drive line angle out and start tearing up ujoints and yokes
I daily use the harbor freight 1/2” socket every day at work
For tools and shop equipment check out Northern Tool. There is a brick and mortar store 52 miles from Bowling Green Ky in Madison Tn or you can order online and have it shipped to you.
harbor freight sockets are badasss and they have a lifetime warranty so its a no brainier
Just first time visiting channel. Loved all the content for sure. Not exactly being new know where the Peterbilt builds going but. For myself the tanks need to be moved under the bunk and get new battery box steps. Looks so much nicer on a Petercar. Just my opinion.. great stuff anyhow.
Where is the dually at?
I was just curious on how u and ur ur family liked it in Kentucky

Small motor is called an APU. Auxiliary Power Supply.
Auxiliary power unit, hence the “u”.
Lindsay Clark thanks, clearly wasn’t awake yet
Jake brake will sound a lot mor ferocious once you put larger diameter straight pipes and stacks on it. Best sound is with 8” stacks
There is a 9 inch stack kit that exists for this truck but it will not fit with your fuel tanks sitting under neith the cab but it will ifnyou move them under the sleeper
I feel like I have never seen the wheels leaning up against the brick wall at 3:40 into the video...
What stacks are you putting back on? 7in Aussies look awesome.
Pete The Peterbilt
that extra tank is needed its a reserve tank for emergency purposes.
The video we’ve all been waiting for!!!!

I believe that 3rd tank is the wet tank and if that’s the case I would not get rid of it because you will need it.
The little engine is called an APU!
Is the generator engine a diesel or gas engine that you took off.
Harbor freight impact sockets are hard to beat. For something that is being used hard, why buy a $600 set from snap on...and rust
I think snapon is way too over priced lol harbor freight is the way to go lol

Do your research.
You’re headed in the right direction... I’m following... low long and less is more my friend!
Nice one ! I have to get me one of those...😬💪🏻
Some 3/4” Leds would look nice on the air cleaners. Like 5 amber ones in the front and 4 red ones in the back
I saw your 10mm running away at 9:30
Ain't no feeling like Peter Mobiling 🤣 That Kitty Cummins intro made me chuckle out loud . 3 ton floor jack will pick them up easy . Just don't trust it , use yer safety third training . 😨👍
Iam almost positive that you cant go bolt the spring directly to the axle. They sell a 2 in block. And to go lower get longer shackles
I was thinking about that
Usually straight pipe videos are 17 seconds long and filled with a rotten carrot
What type of job trucking do you do?
