Both KW's look amazing! (but, being an old rusty crusty guy I'd be happier to see an old R Model with road grime covering her every pore of existence!!!) Haha! That's just me.......great job Mike!
Don’t take it wrong. The KW is a beautiful rig. I have a soft spot in my heart for the Super Dog tho. I remember when a neighbor friend bought his first tractor in 76. It was a 72 R-600 Mack that had been a Chemical-Leman tractor. He would bring it home on weekends and haul chemicals around the Northeast. I would always help him out with the maintenance he had to get done on weekends. Then in the summer of 83 he was in Connecticut and the engine decided it was time to go. He sold the Mack to someone that needed to use it for parts. I have to say that at 18 years old I was in mourning for the old Mack. He ended up with a nearly new Binder next, that was a big step up in comfort to make longer runs. But I still have fond memories of that R Model. The best of luck with the new KW. Be safe.
beautiful rigs sir. Love that twin stick. As far as the light goes: traction control light, will want to get it looked at when ya can but not critical. More than likely just a sensor somewhere. Great shifting there, always like to see the correct angles when entering the gear, and patience.. Something even good drivers get wrong and you greased it.
WOW, for those that have been following you for years, just go back and see what you first started with at Cardillo's, a R model Mack on loan and steel trailer if my memory is correct Enjoy the new ride, you've come a long way and deserve it, well done
Mike Considering all other drivers that pound pavement and concrete all day, and they don’t get an opportunity to spec out their own truck, speaks accolades about who you are and all your blood, soap, and polishing you do for your bosses, you deserve to be able to have this tractor, A class act all the way around, and doing videos Good friend of Doug C here, I work over at the same company he does. ✅
Both look great Mike but i really do like the look of the newer one a bit more i think. What model was to older one? Does it have slightly more slanted and shorter hood than the new one? We don't have that model KW down under is why i ask
Love the new truck she is beautiful. The light is trailer ABS it should some on for a couple seconds when you step on the brakes and go right off. It's a DOT violation if that light is on. The bumping up the idle thing is important because with burner trucks idling in very bad they build soot and plug the filter faster. Which means more regens. Unless it's really hot or really cold it's best just to shut it off and save a whole lot of problems down the road. Trust me I have lots of experience with burner trucks good luck with her I know you will get all the bugs worked out of her
Mike, I love your new truck👍👍👍 the only disadvantage I can see is the steering radius. That’s got to be annoying. When you used to be able to make a turn now you can’t.
Congratulations Mike you deserve it count yourself lucky having a boss who lets a company driver spec out a tractor that doesn’t happen to often enjoy .
I like the tanks and lights on the bottom of the tanks better on the old truck otherwise I think the new truck looks way better. Congrats hope you enjoy it.
We ran into that with the stack turning. Is it the dummy stack? Once we hooked both stacks up and added a rubber piece under the clamp at the top coming out of the muffler it stopped turning. Not sure if it was the vibration or if it was the air going into the bottom of the dummy stack honestly but either way it stopped and I was happy..lol
Love the truck. Is it me or the new truck steering wheel turned 10 degrees to the right to drive straight? My new tractor was the same from the factory? $100,000 plus thousand tractor custom built from the factory should be straight as an arrow. Could be wrong.
That tarp blowing fuses etc, makes me remember the fith wheel not grounding and my trailer lights blinking off and on,,? Bad ground can be hard to find,,😅
Love the truck Mike, Congrats! When it comes to the steering, have your guys check thrust angle of the rear axles, and front toe on the alignment. We had 2 new KW's at my last outfit that wouldn't turn at all. After and MD Alignment and getting all 3 axles set right, both turned much better. Volvo's seem to have this issue also as of late, factory alignment specs are WIDE and can ruin a new truck.
So nice to finally see the truck out in the wild serving its intended purpose. Had some ideas for the truck, Not sure how you feel about front mud flaps on the bumper, I think it would look good. If your allowed to drive with the tow hooks in the front bumper, two polished hooks would look nice against the red mount and polished bumper. Laminate flooring that looks like red stained cherry wood. Hidden chicken lights under the cab at the top and bottom of your steps. For the trailer I think she needs a little piece of stainless with a few ambers in it for in front of your trailer axles, and then longer front flaps on the axles. I would expect the new truck to drive more like a Caddy vrs the old girl. You can tell right away there's a lot more sound deadening as you don't have to talk as loud in this truck.
I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but maybe try shutting that cruise switch off unless you’re using cruise. Dash lights won’t come on, we have a 2015 KW T800 and for whatever reason if you leave the cruise switch on all the time it will start throwing dash lights on that have nothing to do with cruise.
Mike, I love the interior color of your new truck, I was very hesitant at first on the white buttons but after watching the video I will admit they are growing on me. KW has an awesome looking interior, Peterbilt, maybe second to KW. There is a lot you can do to the interior of a Peterbilt if you got deep pockets. Sorry to hear about your stack, that would be irritating to say the least. Great video, T Y for the ride along. Oh, maybe put straight pipes on the new truck would ease your mind. Have a great day. Dave D. from Maine.
Do they have a W900 logo that’ll fit where the clock was supposed to go? Or could you find someone to make the Cardillo AC logo on a sticker that’ll fit there? The steering wheel and shifter knob ties in well with the white buttons. Also I like the brake buttons. And I noticed the you took the port window cover off. Looks better without it. 👍
The stack on my truck kept turning like yours when it was new. I came from a 2000 kw to the 2018 kw and hated it at first cause the truck was so damn quiet, but now i love it, I'm sure you will too
We have an 07 T800 tandem dump my truck is a 91 T450 tandem. My truck steers on a dime. Turns I can make with my truck the T800 doesn't. I've gotten used to the T800 making turns in 2-3 shots where my truck is one turn. My truck is 16 inches shorter in the wheelbase. Kenworths don't steer well period. The Sterling LT9500 I drove has a 240 wheelbase it turns tighter than the T800 with 234 wheel base. Is the fifth wheel on your new truck low profile. It looks like there is a possibility the frame tails on your truck could get hung up in the frame rails of your trailer when you are breaking over angle on a decent.
(Music City here) Looking sharp!! I’ll be in your neck of the woods all week in Foxborough. That deck plate looks great. With those SWR I wouldn’t touch anything- that’s peak performance for sure as it sits.
Hey Mike been watching your vids for a few years and I’ve Neva commented but I gotta say the new ride looks great just fyi I’ve been driving for 32 years doing heavy haul and dump and flatbed
I was told by a mechanic that Kenworth is inconsistent with setting the steering turning radius. Where I work we have a fleet of t880’s and a handful of them don’t turn very well. And some will turn one direction better than the other.
I see a good number of these new trucks the stack turning..... luckily mine never has....it did on one of our trucks and mechanic drilled small hole at bottom, behind guard, and put a screw in it.....🤷🏻♂️......it works
Hey Boston trucker how are you doing today my friend I love watching your TH-cam videos they are very educational videos and keep up the good work and I like the content in the videos sweetheart and I do miss the old truck it is not the same with out it I know that you are getting you ues it
Mike, you think as much as that truck cost that stack would not be moving around like that. There is something obviously wrong there. Yes, that is totally annoying. I feel you brother👍👍👍
After thought was that the cummins dealer in brockton where you left your truck i seen our mixer sitting there 51 ive driven that truck its similar to mine its been having problems with the def system such a pain in the ass to deal with my truck unfortunately has been down there alot to sat down there for a month for issues
After watching you have to back up 3-4 times just to make the turn around the building at the yard it’s going to really suck come winter time . Depending where you guys put the snow piles that longer wheel base is going to be a pia
Don't let go of the old iron I'm telling ya. I ran a 22 western star with the new cummins. At 175k she's in the shop for the 2nd time in 5 days runnin. Emissions is the culprit. Now im runnin an 07 cat. While both mt sleepers are in the shop. My 09 went down 2 weeks ago in ohio when the 2nd turbo self destructed
That light on your speedometer is your front end, every one of our low riders that are bagged have that light on. We turn it off and it comes back on. They told us when you idle the truck up the DPF system doesn't work and plugs the filter up. Who knows I guess ask a cummins man that's who told us. Definitely get the stops turned in because these new ones are worse turning truck I ever drove. These new ones definitely rattle ALOT. Tgey don't build them like thry use too. She looks good bud happy trails. P. S. Don't forget I have the headset pictures 😅
Kenworth steering boxes are set however from the manufacturer of them, we have a 21, 22, and 25 t800, my 21 turns like Titanic, the 22 turns like a 6 wheeler, the 25 slightly worse then the 22, suspension shop said when they do the 3 axle alignment on the 21 they'll adjust the boxes (we run dual boxes) And the high idle for Regen, its loading up motor to get the exhaust hot(1000*+ most regens happen at 1400*) its annoying, especially with the automatic transmission Trucks looking good, saw it at gear jammer, only to realize you were just behind me walking around the show😂 Also idk about your w900 radio but the t800 with touchscreen, you can hook up the Bluetooth from your phone and it'll read your texts, tell you who's calling and play all your audio(music, Instagram reels, and whatnot)
That's cool thanks for all the tips and tricks. We adjusted the stops on the steering but the dealer can set the poppets a little wider so we'll see if it gets better if not I'll just roll with it no big deal.
The seats look nice. I need a dual armrest truck seat to make a PC chair out of. Screw that regen stuff.. Too many trucks on the side of the road probably doing that when they go in limp mode
The car with the swiggly lines is the traction control in a car if it stays on all the time there is a problem and they advise you to take it to the dealer it should only be on if you turn the traction control off
New is nice but from my personal experience I HATE EMISSION ENGINES. So I have to go with your old truck . It still is funny that only your right side exhaust stack blows smoke. Left side is just for looks . But you will get use to check engine lights. Good luck with your new ride . Looks get . Have a great week.
Mike truck looked great at gear jammer as to be expected what a show that was huh and i think the reason that stack keeps turning is because its tryin to jump off if there was 1 thing i could change that would be it at least just to make them true duals if nothing else but i love the ass end thats probably my favorite part that and those steps on the frame are beautiful and that piece by the fuel tanks so theres 98%of it i think it perfect and your not the only one who looks stupid with the blue tooth ear peace i turn mine on in the morning and throw it on the dash unless some one calls me youll hardly see me on i have one just like yours and the headset one and i hate wearing them we have guys that wear the hedseat all day and im always baffled and how the manage after an hour i get a headache but glad to see you finally getting to work her and the stack turning and the turning radius their all little kinks that just gotta be worked out its a new truck it will prolly be a bit until you have 100% dialed in but hey comes with the territory
That’s when you lose traction. That’s what time is the light. If you have a switch to shut that off, I did it on your steering wheel on the dashboard somewhere.
😱 old school, missing the stick already. The automatic drive ok to drive but l find they shift out of sequence and ride brakes to control the truck. The more axles the better.
Good vid mike glad we’re to regular programming. I don’t know why people are upset or thought your new truck isn’t happening I mean it’s not our or my money so why complain.
Boston Trucker great video. My thoughts on what I think you should put in at missing gauge, is a beautiful picture of a love one. Maybe a picture of your dad, daughter, or wife epoxy covered so it last a long time. I think that would be great. Safe travels.

The squiggly light try holding down on the tc button sometimes that works if you haven't already tried that.
I can't get over how much the red tanks and little details add to the great looks of the new truck! Congratulations on a great job 👊☘️
I love the wheelbase 😍. Not short, not too long either. Just perfect.
We agree!

Glad you finally got the new KW out on the road working it. So many nice touches you did to it. Steering wheel and shifter knob just to name a few.

Both look great Mike but i really do like the look of the newer one a bit more i think.
What model was to older one? Does it have slightly more slanted and shorter hood than the new one? We don't have that model KW down under is why i ask
They're actually the same model, W900L. Glad to like it!
not usually a huge fan of painted tanks or full fenders on the drives but i love both of them on this gal. not a single thing i’d change
That makes me feel good thanks

Hopefully when it comes back from the dealer it'll turn a little better.
Congratulations Mike you deserve it count yourself lucky having a boss who lets a company driver spec out a tractor that doesn’t happen to often enjoy .
Very true, thank you.
Sheering in the new truck is harder because of the length of the truck itself or is the steering slower to move about?
I like the tanks and lights on the bottom of the tanks better on the old truck otherwise I think the new truck looks way better. Congrats hope you enjoy it.
Fair enough!
You spec’d the whopper out beautifully. Gonna look even better with the lowboy behind it.
Thank you
I'd have stuck with the shorter wheelbase. What does the longer one gain you?
Longer wheelbase gains me nothing but it looks cool and that's all that really matters! 🤦
We ran into that with the stack turning. Is it the dummy stack? Once we hooked both stacks up and added a rubber piece under the clamp at the top coming out of the muffler it stopped turning.

Mikey. Thanks for your hard work making these videos. Your new truck is a stud horse. Ride easy amigo.
Will do thank you
Definitely like the new one from top to bottom. Done just right
Much appreciated 😊
Awesome ride man, congrats! Looks great! Love those tanks. Will definitely miss the old truck though, spent a lot of time watching it.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
Thank you for providing a lot of great content for so long. My son who’s now 7 really enjoy watching you!
Its your traction control. Push down on the TC button you have there it may help the truck with wheel spin.
Looks really good Mike.
New truck looks great. That visor fits the truck perfectly.
Thanks 😁👍
afternoon Mike just caught the video it's looking AWESOME stay safe pal
Thanks Jerry
Let us know how you cured the stack problem. Our KW's do it also. Spot mirror on the dash. Truck looks great, thanks for the video Mike.
The bottom bracket behind the stack cover was loose.
Love the truck. Is it me or the new truck steering wheel turned 10 degrees to the right to drive straight? My new tractor was the same from the factory? $100,000 plus thousand tractor custom built from the factory should be straight as an arrow. Could be wrong.

I think 🤔 Ur trailer is tellin ya wants to stay with the ol truck.. they have a history together
Looks great Mike what gearbox does it have 13 or 18 spd
18 speed
Looks great Mike . You can’t always be backing up on the turn , some day you won’t see that clown that sits hidden
Happen to me what a surprise 73.
Yes exactly, it's a maneuver I always try and avoid.
Congratulations Mike
Question
What is the black stick on the right of the steering wheel? Opposite of the turn signals.
Says not used for brake?
Hand brake for the trailer.
@@TheBostonTrucker do you every use it to save the brakes on the truck?
All the time at red lights and when I'm stopped on a hill.
@@TheBostonTrucker thanks for the information. Keep the videos coming!
So nice to finally see the truck out in the wild serving its intended purpose. Had some ideas for the truck, Not sure how you feel about front mud flaps on the bumper, I think it would look good. If your allowed to drive with the tow hooks in the front bumper, two polished hooks would look nice against the red mount and polished bumper. Laminate flooring that looks like red stained cherry wood. Hidden chicken lights under the cab at the top and bottom of your steps.

On the new truck. You're not putting your logo on the back of cab like the old truck. New truck looks amazing. Good for u. Keep up the awesome job.
It probably will go on eventually.
Looking good mike truck look s awsome got to them to hook up the other stack ...
Cool shifter. Where can I get one for my Autocar. What gear ratio did you spec for your new truck.

True but it ends up being the steering box was broken from the factory, it's at Kenworth getting a new one which takes about a week to get in. 😔
It's still not going to turn much better.
Nice truck Mike. In my humble opinion it’s to nice to work construction. It’s a long haul truck a nice blacktop princess 😂

That's cool thanks for all the tips and tricks. We adjusted the stops on the steering but the dealer can set the poppets a little wider so we'll see if it gets better if not I'll just roll with it no big deal.
@@TheBostonTrucker the joys of learning the quirks of new trucks, i know when i tow with the 25 im always cutting to sharp cause it turns better😆
Mike you going to the ryco truck show august 17th?
I think so.
The seats look nice. I need a dual armrest truck seat to make a PC chair out of. Screw that regen stuff.. Too many trucks on the side of the road probably doing that when they go in limp mode
10-4
Besides, that truck looks amazing
We agree!
Boston trucker this is brad your new truck looks great brad
Thanks 👍
Looking good 👍
Thank you
The car with the swiggly lines is the traction control in a car if it stays on all the time there is a problem and they advise you to take it to the dealer it should only be on if you turn the traction control off
That’s a long tractor Mike must be a pain in the can on some turns why was it spec with a long wheel base
It is a little bit but I'll adjust to it.
Like the new truck but my favorite is the black Mack they sold.
Me too!
New is nice but from my personal experience I HATE EMISSION ENGINES.
So I have to go with your old truck .
It still is funny that only your right side exhaust stack blows smoke.
Left side is just for looks .
But you will get use to check engine lights.
Good luck with your new ride .
Looks get .
Have a great week.
Understand
Mike truck looked great at gear jammer as to be expected what a show that was huh and i think the reason that stack keeps turning is because its tryin to jump off if there was 1 thing i could change that would be it at least just to make them true duals if nothing else but i love the ass end thats probably my favorite part that and those steps on the frame are beautiful and that piece by the fuel tanks so theres 98%of it i think it perfect and your not the only one who looks stupid with the blue tooth ear peace i turn mine on in the morning and throw it on the dash unless some one calls me youll hardly see me on i have one just like yours and the headset one and i hate wearing them we have guys that wear the hedseat all day and im always baffled and how the manage after an hour i get a headache but glad to see you finally getting to work her and the stack turning and the turning radius their all little kinks that just gotta be worked out its a new truck it will prolly be a bit until you have 100% dialed in but hey comes with the territory
Thanks Nick for your great insight!
That’s when you lose traction. That’s what time is the light. If you have a switch to shut that off, I did it on your steering wheel on the dashboard somewhere.
Thank you
😱 old school, missing the stick already. The automatic drive ok to drive but l find they shift out of sequence and ride brakes to control the truck. The more axles the better.
I drive a stick.
I think it’d look good on the dash.
Good vid mike glad we’re to regular programming. I don’t know why people are upset or thought your new truck isn’t happening I mean it’s not our or my money so why complain.
Hahaha thanks Erik I'm happy you understand what's up. 👌💯😁
What happened to your passenger side turn buckle?
It got bent so I took it off.
Boston Trucker great video. My thoughts on what I think you should put in at missing gauge, is a beautiful picture of a love one. Maybe a picture of your dad, daughter, or wife epoxy covered so it last a long time. I think that would be great. Safe travels.
Great idea
For shts and giggles put a picture of Anthony in there. Tell him, "" Now you can watch me all the time "! Maybe Tony's picture.
Finally!
Good to see it working
Yeah 👍
Love the new truck
Thank you me too
Face of happiness 😵💫
🤣🤣🤣🤣
