Unusual inventory piece and a nice walk-thru. Learned some things and a few rabbit holes were spotted. Time to do some research. Surely, you have a likely buyer in mind.
Neat truck. Allison trans are great for on/off hwy use and push/pull kind of heavy haul. The push buttons are the worst part. Should be a paddle shift on the steering column. But a cool truck still.
Another nice one. How are the Allison's holding up?

Bobby Horn A Lot of the Super-Load Trucking Companies that Require Push-Pull Applications are going to them. A Lot Easier to get the Timing, Speed, & RPM's Right with a Auto than with a Manual, Especially on a Grade.
there's really no need, especially if you're using a jeep, you won't legally be able to load the truck heavy enough to need double walled frame, double walled frame is more or less needed for oilfields and off road trucks
So many auto haters, it's your preference, heavy haul, in anything hilly with stops like west Virginia auto is the way to go, plus you can get a auto retarder which adds additional engine breaking, as well as continuous breaking to a stop, no clutch disengage with each downshift, all the way to a stop. Allison 4700 rated 600 hp and 2600lb torque, not going to break it.
Would prefer the 389 heavy haul but this one would transfer more weight onto the front axle. Any particular reason for not going with three axle disks? And have you ever tried the Jost 5th wheel and if so what do you think of it? Cool rig, thanks for sharing it with us.
Not much experience with Jost, no particular reason just always been a Holland guy. Probably should have done disc but was trying to keep it under 220k
Hey Steve what was the reasoning for the drum brakes in the rear? I know you like to spec with disc so I wondered if it had to do with heat or something.
@@andysmith3886 I heard that also but went back and looked when he was showing the rear air and electric. Not a big deal lol I'm not buying it just an observation. Either way I still enjoy his videos.
Might wanna fix the video title there Steve. Nice truck though, I love the look of the set-back front axle heavy haul hoods. My uncle has a 357 set up that way.
@@MichaelTJD60 that's true. Another thing i wonder is why almost all i see say rush truck center. I'm in Virginia and even my work truck says rush on it.
At 2:17 it sure looks to me like it has a disc brake air chamber on the rear drive axle, right side. Later in the video, you mention it only has discs on the steer. Am I seeing things? Or are you just exhausted from cranking out upper echelon units for your customers? Not trolling by the way. Other than the Bruce Jenner, that unit is stout and sweet.
Chris Moody 1850 torque for 4500 rds. Which is a 6 speed. 4700 rds will take 2050 torque Which has a creeper gear. Hope that helped you.

Jersey Guy Unless something has Changed, 1850 Torque is the Highest Rating you can get with a Allison, doesn't matter if it is a 4500RDS or a 4700RDS which are both Heavy Application Transmissions. That's is information that a couple different Kenworth & Western Star Dealers have told Me when Spec'ing them. I was told that you Cannot Get a 2050TQ Motor with a Allison Transmission. In a different comment someone else asked why the 1850TQ, Peterbilt Steven said the same thing.
Fantastic question, but I apologize I do not. Be very different loaded and unloaded so my experience wouldnt be of much use. I can get you gear spread chart if you would like carbones@rushenterprises.com
Peterbilt Steve yes sir, thanks anyways though, and i hate to pester you with questions but you’re really the only person i can access who knows anything about new peterbilts, is it still possible to order a flat cab with a stand up still?
I pulled super bees with 6speed allison auto.. i never thought in a million years it would do as good as it did. It was actually pretty cool still not my cup of tea but it held its own.. i forget rear gear ratio but 100 km was 1600rpm
@ And I'd have to immediately cut a big slit in that hood and add in glass to make the grill stand vertical like it should. Don't get me wrong, I love the w900l, but they take work to make look right. I could swap in an Allison myself.
Peterbilt Steve thanks buddy I’m the one that called the other day I have a 09 identical to that 362k miles premium overhauled 6nz cat about 20k miles ago new 18speed how much would you estimate it’s worth?
Kevin Barry only the cremè de la cremè get that I suppose!

I Never thought I would be for them, until I had Employees. With A Lot of the Super Load Companies (500,000#'s +) Using them in their Push-Pull Applications they have Proven their Durability to Me. That and they are Nice for Traffic.
Merry Christmas and I’m gonna answer both of you guys questions back in the 90s when I started driving trucks they were all sticks shift hand shakers so that’s what I’m used to I’ve driven the Volvo I shift and it’s OK but it doesn’t feel manly
