"WE TOOK THE ROOF CAP OFF OF OUR NEW PETERBILT 579" | Real Life Trucking - Episode  

we make money just fine

And I always thought it was happy life without a wife

@@mattborski9752 it's nice to see the exception , I'm with you after number 3 ,HA !!!

All of it.

yes it is ours

The roof cap provides shade for your sleeper roof. So ... your air conditioner will have to work extra hard to cool your sleeper in the summer...

@@michaelwest6757 you think of that on your own or you have facts to prove that?

Experience. Started in Jan 05, in a 2005 Pete 379 EXHD, w/ a fiberglass cap over the cab + sleeper. Left Wrnr and went to a franchise fleet inside Wrnr... to a 05 Frgtlnr Century w/o a cap. In 2005 & 2006. Nxt year, got back into another 05 379 w/o a cap, and THAT sleeper a/c could (almost) barely keep up w/ the summer heat in the sunshine. ( no APU )...

Lol tell them to get a whale tail for the mpg

Gave up on the wrap, it won’t work with the rough surface.

I always love it when people comment thinking we care about their opinion

Didn’t look into that!

They are cool trucks too, basically the same truck with a different hood. Maybe in the future.

😊there is ceva in the UK

@@nigelbirkitt3521 ill have to check that out i have never heard of them here

They are global.

I need a forklift lol

Nuttin as Fine than an W9!!!!! 😎🔊But DEFINITELY LUV LONG HOOD LARGECARS K-DUBBS & PETES # PACCAR PRIDE!!!!!!!😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🎯🇺🇸💰💎🏆

Have to put our spin on it.

yes, you can put the bolts back in or silicone as quick options

Never pulled a load with the fairing and skirting. But truck does 6.5-7 running reefer.

Agree

I believe they just didn’t like that style or look compared to whale tail.

nah would of got one like that in the first place (like a TMC truck) I wanted the sleeker look this build so no stacks no exposed tanks. Plus tired of upkeep on those after Tyler (washing/polishing)

@@TruckingTogether lol yeah it’s a pain but you look cool on your stool 😂😂😂

it’s 2 guys heavy lol

No. Just the outside and sleeper.

@@TruckingTogether good cause that’s a pain to change out.

It is a little bit. Got to pull glove box out

Care to elaborate further? What shouldn’t have ended like it did?

@@TruckingTogether her experience with the people on social media. I was surprised not to see her again.

@@TruckingTogether I was surprised at the one and done

Oh, she has her own channel. But she doesn’t post as much. We don’t want to take her footage from her.

@@TruckingTogether ok that’s great, I’ll check her out. Kep it in the family

It’s hitting the road today, looks really sharp.

I agree. Isn’t that one of the reasons why they bought it? They can do whatever they want because it’s there truck and I do think it looks better however I think fuel economy was there goal for this.

@@Echoscreen33 Crazy. Anything to get views

no. it will still do better mpg than Tyler even with those ugly things removed. I’m not out here to look like every other company truck and the difference is maybe tenths of a mile which can also be made back up in driving habits. It is not the only reason we changed trucks I just said it would get a couple mpg better than Tyler as it’s one of the reasons which helps offset the cut rates we have now. Main reason, Tyler’s time is running out on extensions for CA and I wanted the same transmission as Tiny

@@TruckingTogether Understandable. I can see your perspective.

Wtf lol

That was Tinys cab filters 🌚🌚🙄🙄 comprehension is key.

Funny how that works, it’s getting the same mileage as the ultraloft.

You act cocky but your lying. I’m an engineer by trade and have hundreds of hours on wind tunnel and OTR testing on this very truck. You absolutely will see an 8 to 11% decrease in fuel economy……that’s a fact. Don’t mislead people into thinking you’ll not see a difference because the numbers don’t lie.

@@steves1007 This is Alice replying now and hate to tell you this but this truck is getting the exact same MPG as Tiny Dancer does (our ultraloft 579). You are wrong. Your “by trade” is wrong. You are not the one that’s inside this truck driving it right now seeing what is going on. You are some youtube know it all who is insistent on throwing his weight around because you need validation in your life that you are right because you said so. The rubber flaps that we took off account for very minor gains, the roof cap was replaced with another more visually appealing one that is the exact same height as the factory one was to encourage the airflow over the trailer. There is no loss on miles per gallon and actually there are so far only gains from what this trucks lifetime average is with me being behind the wheel and the weights we pull of more than 1 mpg so far on this first trip out with the truck. All the factory aero stuff had this truck at 6.5 mpg with pulling a van trailer with the former owner. I am at 7.5 right now which just so happened to be Tinys round trip average last week. And yes I will film the fuel receipts between the 2 trucks and the pen to paper miles for Battle Mountain to Denver to Laramie fill up. Same exact route for both trucks extremely similar conditions as same days of travel. It will be about a week and half out however due to video filming/a airing dates. Just because you said so doesn’t mean you are right here. Not your truck. Not your fuel bill. Worry about your own stuff.

But it could be better, your just too ignorant, defensive and clearly uneducated to realize that.

​@TruckingTogether So the question? Is not comparing it to another truck the question is did it reduce that truck's fuely economy from when it had all the aeroscoth on it???

ya that’s because I only bought him red ones that go around lol

We may soon.

it’s not

there’s no room for a tire the way those are designed and if there was one up there you would be hard pressed to not kill yourself while taking it down and balancing on a ladder

It is his truck, his business. Not your business,Mr. Negative .

so is your comment

for reals lol

yes let’s only drive and never work on trucks so they can go to 💩

Usually the dumbest comment takes a little longer to appear....

I need to gain more.

@@TruckingTogether Yea that’s the spirit 👌
