First Drive Custom Peterbilt 389 - Rethwisch Transport 

just seems like a big waste of money , those stacks are not cheap, just for looks. reroute the Y and connect exhaust

@@richardblakley8139 I agree 100% Richard! I wouldn't want it any other way!

@Hello Hehn how are you doing?

coming soon!

Rob Fortner I agree...if you have a driver who knows how to use them....We use a w900 with full lockers on heavy haul....when a driver hits blacktop with them locked we usually end up with a broken axle...

@@kygambler22 yep that’s right.

Fully locked in the mud is like driving on train tracks. She'll go, but mostly where its pointed. I usually only lock my front axle so i can steer better.

@@blairarmstrong3204 yeah that makes sense. These trucks nowadays are a joke the way the diffs lock. You still can’t go anywhere once you’re locked in.

@@blairarmstrong3204 I agree loaded, those you can’t have them all locked in unless you are going in a straight line😂

Know what id do? Id bypass that dumbshit DEF EMISSIONS system into those stacks and peal off on the DOT!!!

They have a drain hole in the bottom of the elbow.

Wont drain when its frozen lol

@@SEMICasualShow why you didn't connect the two stacks?

@@blairotv We have a video coming soon that shows this set up a in a little more detail and kinda explains the different options.

Super nice trucks!

Also where do you buy the smooth rivets? @SEMI_Casual

So you can get the traditional battery box and tool box

@@SEMICasualShow sure but why not hook up the pipes and do away with the horizontal part of the exhaust? That’s what I was asking. Sorry I should’ve worded it better. What was his reasoning for keeping it that way? Truck looks phenomenal guys!

@@robfortner4221 Its alot easier cleaning up a dummy stack than a real one

Yeah!! tried to email you but they bounced back.

Hey could you email it to my dads chambersranchhay@yahoo.com. Thank you!

Mixer Man Bear. Big Government Environmentalists.....JOHN KERRY as he flies world wide in a private jet polluting the air @ phucking the little guy....

Dummy stacks are 10x better than no stacks. No stack 389s are ugly as can be.

DUDE I FUCKING AGREE...wtf happened to having a sick sounding truck??? So its impossible to have your truck sound like a true beast anymore???

@@redline350zHR Right!! I’ve been a trucker for 33 years now. The sound of a big diesel under heavy load is music to my ears. We the drivers are the ones who keep this world supplied with all its needs. We are the ones who deal with all the difficulties and conundrums out here on the road. You would think we would get a say in any decision making in the trucking industry. The human race is really getting pathetic. The amount of rules and regulations in trucking now fill enough pages to fill a fuckin library now and I guarantee whoever wrote all the bull shit rules and regulations never even drove a truck or at the least consulted a trucker before they ever wrote even one rule! We really need to take back some control in this country. C’mon!?

Not exactly, the exhaust after treatment system or “DEF” system has to stay in place.

Only if you deleted it. Which you would not want to do with a new truck. Voids any and all warranty.

I think a 10 speed automation is about as big as I ever seen. I’m thinking because of the air split half gears the computer would be confused? Lol

@@kygambler22 Eaton makes a 13 and 18 automated as well as Paccar’s 12 speed

I don't understand that either

You’d have to move the battery box/tool boxes, changing the look of it, and the def is really tough on stainless, it turns it blue

We try! Problem is we are in the shop a lot of the time or on the road so it’s challenging to get to everyone. 👍

We try to reply to as many as we can. The big thing is I typically check on the most recent videos. What kind of questions you got?

Wisconsin

They haul fuel, so no need to move the 5th wheel with their trailer setups. Plus saves weight and cost.

👍

Like the transmission options are pretty lengthy, each option would be considered a data code.

Heard a rumor they are working on wider cabs for the new version of a 389. Also, green is the beat color! LOL. Someday I’m gonna build a green on green on green. Lol

Hmmm those dummy stacks wouldnt be a bad place to hide some cargo on those mexico-usa border cross runs. If you know what i mean..👀

I don’t know if that’s even an option. Been a while since I’ve heard of a 15 Spd

Yup but mostly in the Caribbean

Booo

it is a x 15 , all the def stuff is moved back behind the fuel tank , longer unit , twice as long than one behind the fake tool box on pass side .

160k a year is a lot but not impossible. I do about 140
