Nice W900. My dad had one but wore it out at 2.5 mil. He never cared for it. Too heavy, bad mileage, tiny cab. Switched back to Pete last year with a glider and he's ecstatic with over 5mpg and much less weight. Both are gorgeous trucks but amazing how different they are being both Paccar.
Thank you, I love my W900. It depends how they are spec'd I guess, mines not heavy and I avg just above 6 MPG. I have an Espar bunk heater and put a portable A/C unit in place of the passenger seat in the summer. APU's are to expensive and unreliable. Has 1,854,870 miles on it.
Well his was top of the line in 2005. Fully loaded, large tanks, Cat, 18 fuller, double bunks, etc. He hauls cattle across the country. Compared to the 389, it was a pig. His new 389 is so much lighter, has gobs of power with a 6NZ single, and has more room. His previous Petes were 359, and 4 379s. Before that were Macks. Drive safe buddy! We need good truckers!
Finally got rid of the scratchy stock radio. I think it turned out pretty good. There are adapters for the speakers so you don't have to cut the wiring.
Hope you don't live anywhere near a big city or that'll get ripped out so quick by a crackhead. I finally put in a nice unit and speakers back in 2014 and in 2016, gone.
Back to stock for me as long as I'm on this planet. Too much crime.

Never have had to worry about theft, our drive goes into the backyard and we have 2 200+lb english mastiffs and a lot of guns.
Four of my five robberies were in texas. Unless you never leave your backyard, it's just a matter of time. Maybe your dogs can stay in the cab wherever you go? That's a good deterrent.
That's what I thought! Only $100 maybe and $40 for the speakers. Yet they did over $2000 in damage for used head unit and speakers. Kinda nice payday yet it doesn't completely heal the feeling of being truck raped. I took the money and rebuilt my steering, doors, locks and installed an alarm and saved the rest. Thank you Geico!

I've lived in Texas for 40+ years and never had a vehicle or house broken into so guess I'm on borrowed time , either way I'm definitely not going to let worrying about thievery stop me from buying nice stuff lol
