I went from a 20 579 to a 24 and I love both. As much as I love the classic trucks they don’t make sense anymore. The 579 are amazing trucks and I have the auto and have zero complaints.
@@NinoAmerica the majority don’t have them paid off. It also depends on your business and what you pull. Lots of variables. But if you had a proper speced aero truck that was paid off for what you do compared to a classic you’d make a lot more profit. That’s the point I’m making. You calculate the average classic gets 4.5-6.6 mpg. Most aero trucks are 6.8-9. That’s a lot of money givin to the greedy oil companies and not on your bottom line.
The 'old-style' classic trucks aren't feasible anymore...economically. The newer Aero-efficient trucks are the only real choice going forward - at least if you want to be successful/comfortable/not-broke - just sayin'
Pittsburg Power Max Mileage, start running it right now. It’s expensive but worth every penny in that after treatment truck. Run it in mine zero issues.
Those are just fuel,treatments may,help but Max mileage is a catalyst and change molecules of the fuel to burn fuel hotter and stops soot which is the worst thing for emissions engines Also, the cost of Max Milage is pennies compared to labor and sensors
Congratulations man!! People say it's time to get out and even though I bought an older truck cash I did exactly as you said start win the market is down and I already run my ass off as a company driver but now on my own. Your awesome dude you help me get where I am today. Thank you for all your insight to everything about o/o
Congrats.If you can pull through at the worst.when it turns around you'll be golden.and if it doesn't you still know how to survive and make a living until it does.
Good choice it’s simple economics from High School supply and demand. Supply is up and demand is down driving down truck prices. When the market was red hot everyone was trying to buy a truck to get in driving prices way up. Cash is king right now. Way to go!
Congrats. I just bought a 2019 579 with a 565 cummins 13spd with 490k for 72k back in October. Mine is an O/O spec with all the bells and whistles. It's a fancy machine for sure. Enjoy the truck
Congratulations brother you did keep us in the dark for awhile but man that things looks sweet 13 speed Cummins and an APU...loaded Congratulations and enjoy see you out there!!!!!
Im in a 2024. I'm jealous, lol. You got the dash. Mine is all digital i hate it. Plus, you got the better radio, and the cabinets have doors. Mine has the leather snap covers. But on the other hand. The top bunk can go, hood mirrors. Now add the emergency door and vented windows, pogo stick for the hoses. Lose the FW-17 fifthwheel for the FW-35. But all n all nice truck
Figured it would be another long nose, was surprised. You will like the fuel mileage, hope the ride is good. If I got back on the road I wouldn't get anything but a Pete or KW long nose. Something about the ride and sound that is so much better than those aero trucks.
Its not new...it is right at the point of emission system failures. Thats why Freymiller traded it in. Good luck your going to need it. I've spent over $20k on theses problems this year on mine . It all started at 450,000 miles.
I bought a 2018 Walmart 579 big difference from my 379 but the ride and room is amazing you will love it i also have a way to trick the truck if you have the adaptive cruise control the beaping will drive you crazy if you unbolt it and point it to the ground and zip tie it up works like normal cruise it wont hit the auto brakes when following to close to another vehicle
Tell me more because I keep getting ACC faults. Cruise won’t stay set. The best I can do is tap the brake first, then set. Cruise net work for up to 15 minutes. Sometimes a little longer
@littlefellatrucking324 I took mine acc sensor from the front bumper and pointed it to the ground you will have to zip tie it up now it doesn't beep or slow me down when cruise is set that might fix yours or your acc sensor might be going out every one and a while mine beeps when I'm in traffic and it picks up the metal bridge joints but that's it
277385 on my Peterbilt only problem it went through one derate.. that's it not ONE single issue. Solid 579. WELL actually had to replace the brakes but they never last forever. Great trick
Freymiller has nice trucks. I was thinking around 80-90k so don't beat yourself up on not getting an absolute bottom dollar deal. You probably paid 25-30k less than if you bought a year ago and you got that $15k TriPac as a nice bonus. Inventory is going up while prices are coming down. I bought my 2017 ProStar back in late '20 from a large fleet. They put new rubber, new alum wheels, new bumper, fixed and serviced the apu as well. I wouldn't hesitate buying another truck from a large fleet. I plan on upgrading to a '21 or '22 in the springtime. Very nice truck Sammy.
If you are going to run Cali with it make sure you get that clean idle decal put back on there I bought a truck from them and got a $500 ticket first trip for not having it on there ( should be on drivers door just below mirror)
Congratulations! I have almost the exact same truck. Mines is viper blue, has the paccar motor with 510hp, 13sp, 3.42 rears, dual exhaust, and a single bunk. I wanted the Cummins but it was an extra 700lbs and thousands of dollars more. I'm glad I ordered my truck though. I couldn't find one like it anywhere at the time.
I’m not a fan of former fleet trucks. They don’t do the required maintenance. They change the oil and tires and that’s about it. I won’t buy used again. However, when buying a used truck; change the DEF filter, run the overhead, have the DPF and DOC cleaned by DPF Alternatives, do a DieselForce service. You’ll fix a lot of issues before they happen doing that list. I did that on any used truck I bought. You’d be surprised how much soot and carbon is in these engines from large fleets.
No Talk about P/M, brakes, Differential fluid changed, After treatment filters changed, Hopefully gotta warranty. Come on with it, you need to teach these boys what to look for and get. But congratulations looks nice on the outside.
Tomorrow, I'm heading over to the dealership (DADS) in Idaho Falls, Idaho. They have over 12, 2020 Peterbilts at appr. 420k miles, automatics, $51,000.
Nice truck,but a little bit expensive.I have 587 with x15, and 500hp and it is 13 speed.Love it.Buy a computer and twice a month do a parking regen,will last longer.
Your very wise chose your dealer before you chose your truck ✅😊👍I really love that truck here in Australia we are right hand steering. Peterbilts are my favourite trucks.you guys are soooo fortunate great highways awesome truck stops, and you can buy a truck like yours for $80,000 dollars. Over here in Australia very very rare to see peterbilts on our roads. Lots of kenworths and Scania Volvo Mack’s which are now owned buy Volvo. Freightliner. And lots and lots a Japanese trucks. You guys are soooo blessed. Happy trucking 🎉I love ❤️ that sleeper layout.our sleepers are small compared to yours and being able to have such long wheelbases is awesome. 🤩 cheers
I'm very happy for you! I haven't seen any of your videos in over a year and then out of the blue I'm seeing this one kind of strange. Best of luck with your new truck it looks real good! Merry Christmas enjoy your family time!
delete that collision avoidance system. you will not like it when it picks up a shadow and decides to detonate your breaks because of it. other than that get the pdi air intake, tuner. add turbo system. you'll enjoy it. and change the rears to 3.36 for long hills. 3.25 is too high of a gear unless you plan on hauling ass.
That's about the only place you'll find that type of truck. Mostly in the okc area. I noticed that several years ago. Some used to be old Freymiller or i believe Rains and Sons. Congratulations
Shouldve seen what they did to my 379 pete back in the day.made it a show truck after it left the fleet.still miss that truck even though that cat only got 5mi gal.lol
👍👍👍still subscribed just no notification been popping upon your channel, for some reason I saw your channel when I was searching for something to watch.
No no no a huge fleet will run those trucks into the ground before they turn them in. Air bags will leak and all the filters need replacing plus air dryers are always clogged and need replacing and dont forget to change all the brake chambers also and the drive and acc belt too then it will run for a while but I always thought Cummins but as long as a paccar gets the oil tapped off and the recalls taken care of and the coolant level right they are the best and I get 8.2mpg with a 20k load and 7.2 with 42k and one last thing the mitigation system will be hell to Uninstall because they need to disconnect it from the abs brakes also so these things should be the reason not to buy a fleet truck with idle c ut off and the mitt system
Make sure you check and see if your navigation needs an update I had a 2016 Pete that quit working and I think it was because it needed updated. If you can still even update those things lol.
Make Cents do they have any with Wet/Kits? Did you say they were old FRYMILLER/FREYMILLER trucks? Ohhhh they own that Heartland, not HEARTLAND ❤❤EXPRESS. 😂, Love that Midnight Blue or Royal Blue!
@@MakeCentsTrucking been just awesome y'all....got a new gig from perryville Missouri to blue springs mo..3x a week... American Central transport....but hey congratulations and look forward to the new truck and vids...can't wait to hear the trucks name c'mon.... ohhhhhhh yeahhhh wooooooo 🤙.... Merry Christmas to the whole make cents family 🎄🎁⛄
Congrats Brother! I had a 2020 Pete (company truck) that looked real similar except it was not a 13 or Cummins. Wishing you and your family a great Christmas and many profitable miles in the new equipment!
@@MakeCentsTrucking Bro, I was wondering how the new truck is treating you after a couple weeks? When I had my (company truck) 2020 Company truck I wished it was a 13 speed, other than that I liked the truck. Have you got some miles down on it? Would you suggest the dealer and x-fleet trucks?
@MakeCentsTrucking also I've had 3 579s from Freymiller, 2019 2020, and a 2024, and all got me right at 8 mpg all miles, governed at 68 mph and as a company driver I always ran hammer down. I hope you do as least as well.
Good looking truck, hope it works out well for you..Merry Christmas to you and your family and a very happy healthy New Year..Have a great day..👍😁☕️🌲🎁🎁🎁🎁🇺🇸
Don't know if that's true as far as Freymiller owning or being part owner of Heartland Truck Sales. I worked for Freymiller for 5 years and they always told us they had nothing to do with Heartland Truck Sales. Did i believe them, nope. To many of Freymiller's old used trucks end up there.
Nice truck. Been meaning to ask what frames your glasses are. They look like they’re lightweight but should be sturdy. Never had to think about them before and the choices are nuts 😂
Yeah it sucks. Made it 42 years with 20/20 and now… ugh! I got these at Costco for like $260 ish. They are Oakley frames and yeah they are lightweight and sturdy vs most 👊
@@MakeCentsTrucking sweet, thanks. Yeah...at 50 and my last DOT physical the doc said “you did about 50% on the pass line-don’t come back here without glasses” so...meh. Pissed me off 😂
