2019 389 Peterbilt Heavy Haul 4 speed auxiliary transmission 

Thats bad ass

uhm thanks?

what is the advantage of the neway suspension?

@@ccclc6159 I like it because unlike Pete air trac there's no springs it's just beams and torque arms which limits parts to break, I had several springs break while I was heavy hauling with the air trac, I have nearly 250,000 miles with no issues with the neway suspension.

ice road truckers, something was always going to happen after the commercial,,,,,,,,,,nothing ever happened

Joseph Rivett yup just like a split stick lol

I grew up on an old farm truck with triple sticks man. That was no joke. I'm so glad they run splitters now but do have to admit I'd LOVE to get behind a triple stick for a road trip

I would like to see them put a old-school triplex in one of these

R it happens. It's just custom so it's rare. It would be fun to drive though. As long as you didnt have any major hills or drive in town or have a massive load or etc etc lol

Exactly . The old man that taught me to drive a truck in 84 told if you want to drive you drive this old gmc with a triplex first. Once you learn to drive it you will be able to drive anything.

Gei

In the oilfield, they're on most every haul truck

Happens alot in SW Louisiana

Yes sir!

Classic styling

@@SteveCarbone its the best

Are there any other colors for a peterbilt 😁😁

about three years lol

thats 70 years

85

Was temporary I promise....

Really weird to not have full lockers on a truck like that...

Josias Cruzgomes Good luck to you Josias on your pursuit of the American dream

Kenyon Worthen II Thank you my brother. God bless us

Kenyon Worthen II the rest of the world just calls a dream a job!

I wish you luck

Been doing this 20+ years PLEASE explain a 3/4 locker to me, I'm all ears...

@@SteveCarbone a full locker has 3 switches, there were only 2. One interaxle lock and differential lock. The front axle is usually the expensive one that will lock up on a 3/4 locker. A full locker has an air solenoid on the rear as well. Kind of pricey, but worth every penny when the shit hits the fan.

Great story!

Start both in first. Technically you can shift every gear but truthfully 6 maybe 7 times depending on hills and weight. Main in first aux in first, shift 2, 3 and 4 on the aux. Then second on main and first on aux. Repeat that for all the gears you have on the main. In reality you learn to skip most of them. Remember to give the air shift aux time to shift else you get it stuck in the middle acts like it's in neutral and it could be. Which is why I like 2 sticks and not the air shift version. Having said that, the air shift version is way easier to shift. Why they mounted it like that is beyond me. Mine is on the main shifter. They had to put it somewhere. Originally it mounted like a gear shit knob because it was meant for non air shifted main transmissions. I'd swap that new school shift knob out to and old school version, add a "Y" adapter and your set. You have to add and re rought the air lines. You really need to have someone show you in the truck. But that's the basics. Good luck. It's not hard it's fun! Only intimidating because you haven't done it. There's 4 reverse gears too. I recommend you stay in first reverse otherwise you go to fast. A few gears overlap so you don't need them. One or two are actually down shifts even though you made an upshift you figure that out quick.

same

thanks mate!

chase sakamoto go onto RU-vid and check out how to shift a 16spd air shift Spicer. It’s a 5x4. 5 spud main 4 spud auxiliary air shift! Way cool!

@@johnmoore1949 just looking over your com. Thanks I started out in a five and four both st. Havent seen one till now

robert fletcher Were you happy with the Neway Suspension?

@ best suspension I have ever had on a truck tough and rode great for heavy spec truck

@ 367 set back axle was 288wb. Had 6.5ft slide on it double locks and full lock rears

@ set back axle makes easier to get weight forward when needed

robert fletcher was it a old ats or valley trans truck?

For clearance reasons, great question

7 to 8 mpg

I'm too scared to do it on video..

We have a 18 Pete tandem axle with 13,000 miles. No emissions issues, but major suspension problems. From the factory, it didnt have enough steer axle clearance. We put a load on and the front tires came up through the fenders. Pete ended up putting 6 inch blocks in the leafs after 3 visits for the same issue. Mechanically sound, but major chassis issues.

iPredatur I think Tulsa

snomass1 ah, okay thank you!

Stian it does, but at the expense of too much weight. Payload is the game here.

jdofmemi it is a bit heavy, my 6x4 Volvo is 11.500kg as a tractor. And that's very light considering.
