Hey Shawn, nice toter you got there! I'm 46 yr veteran driver so i think i can speak with confidence here.. To start, guages are good, the more components you can monitor the better off you are, just pay attention to what they are telling you, to nip a problem in the bud before its too late. Secondly, 24.5's are good, they'll actually help with weight and fuel economy if you have them on the drives aswell. Just like a race car, the bigger diameter works. That Cat motor for the later Cat's is the better one. I personally preferred the old 3406B a mechanical motor not electronic. I love all these want a be's that think they know what they're talking about. If that Cat ever goes down with a major problem just throw a Cat 6NZ in it and you'll be even more impressed!
Well happy trails, be safe and have a great season guys!
Meh, I'm kinda partial to the old twin turbo C-15's myself, but it is what it is!
Remember Shawn run it like ya stole it, and you'll be fine!
6NZ is my favorite CAT engine. Drove over a million miles on one. Only ever left me stranded once and that was due to dealer service tech left a ratchet in the engine compartment and it took out some electricals and the fan. Driving in downtown Philadelphia in the dead heat of summer 95+ degrees ambient, you kinda need a fan or you’re going to overheat sitting at light after light.
@@justindelvalle9179 hell try sitting in NYC or Boston in the middle of the summer time I'm almost 36 and my Dad drove up and down the East Coast 3/4 of my child hood and then in my early teens he started going from East to West and sitting in any big city traffic is no fun at all unless you have good "scenery" to look at and to be honest trucker's these days don't really know what real trucking is compared to back in the day and don't get me wrong next to the military for keeping our country safe I have the most respect for all truck driver's but back nowadays you hardly ever see a truck with a CB radio and now trucks have automatic transmissions, cruise control, power steering, power brakes, power windows, back up cameras, and not only air ride seats but air ride suspension and back then you had crank windows,one air seat and those were leather or vinyl and the passenger seat was cloth velour or like a crushed velvet material and if you were lucky to have a 13in tv the passenger could only watch a movie on VHS and later on DVD but then they came out with them packages you could buy at the truck stops where it came with a cord phone, a coaxial cable cord and a phone/cable tv card for you to call and get cable tv airtime kind of like a prepaid phone card but for tv and depending on which truck stop you were at depended on how many channels you got and how good they came in and if I'm not mistaken you could also use that card for a shower card as well and I know you could make long distance calls with it as well but then my dad started carrying his cell phone so then we just used it for a tv card and shower card and with that whole setup you had to be parked at a truck stop with the wire going through the vent window all the way down the side of your truck to a little box on the white line for the parking spot and you damn sure didn't want your big window down for the cord to go through just in case the truck stop was notorious for Lot Lizards you didn't want a Lot Lizard jumping on the side of your truck in the middle of the night looking to get a date because she might end up giving you something AJAX and a Brillo pad won't wash off and as a kid you loved being at the truck stops for the arcade games and you was able to watch something else besides movies but as a truck driver if the wheels aren't moving you ain't making any money sitting at a truck stop you're just wasting it but while you're going down the road the CB radio was the best entertainment you would get because if you were lucky you would run into a Lady Trucker or Co-pilot and she would be looking for some entertainment as well and their husbands wouldn't give two shits about them showing off anything they wanted to other trucker's because they would get a show at the same time and at the end of the day they're going home together and we would end up running in a convoy or roll race while going down the highway just to see who had the faster truck and I've been to almost all of the lower 48 so I have seen some scenery and I have seen some "scenery" and even woman in cars if they caught you looking at them while going down the road they would show you some stuff too sitting in traffic or moving it didn't matter and it didn't matter what time of day it was either but it's not like that anymore there is too many Karen's out there and if you gave them the motion to flash you they are more than likely going to write your tag number down and your company name and call the state boys for harassment and don't even think about trying to show them what you are working with you'll definitely go to jail no doubt about it
6nz is getting hard to come by anymore though
I love and miss the old girl I drove that had a b model great motor and never gelled up
I have been fans of Murder Nova for a while now. Met you guys in Boise this last year. Just FYI so you know I am not full of crap. I have been driving truck for 36 years since I was 17 years old when I joined the Army in 1985. Now I own a small fleet of trucks, and we mainly run Peterbilts. A 98 or 99 cat is an E-model cat. C15 did not come out until the later of 2000. Your motor is probably a 1LW, or a 5EK. Both are great motors. One thing about CAT that might be helpful for you when you are driving, is that they are low rpm motors, meaning you do not need to get your rpms high to get the horsepower out of them. They can pretty much pull themselves out of a hole in lower rpms, (1150-1300), because of the torque they produce. We have a custom 2001 Peterbilt that we take to shows, and it is an absolute great truck to own. Since I am writing this to you, I do need to mention to you what you said Trucker Matt told you about the Duck. I call BS, and I have the years to back it up. He needs to do his history on the Duck. I have one on our show truck, and the truck I drive every day. The Duck is a symbol. It means when you're looking at a duck on the water, it's smooth as hell. Hardly ever shows what it's really doing. And that is paddling like hell under the water. I love the symbol of the Duck. Being a business owner, I am constantly looking as calm as I can for my customers and employees. But believe me, under the water I am usually paddling like hell. It seems to me you guys are often doing the same. So please do a little history on the Duck, don't take my word for it. and see for yourself what it means. After, if you change your mind, I would be honored if you would let me purchase one for you to place on the hood of that Peterbilt. FYI, I am also a fellow racer with a 1963 Chevy 2. Have a great evening guys!
That's how the blinkers are on every truck I've been in.
Yeah your right about that Shawn heat rises and cold air is down low because cold air is more dense and heavier...so in the winter you want to turn your fan on backwards so it will pull the hot air down to circulate.
The way I was taught to drive then is remember 10 to 15 on shift. And on the high low splitter you can flip it up on the low side before you shift to go to the high side. It will not change until you go into neutral. Outside of that the truck is beautiful, and csnt wait to see it on the circuit of npk. Good luck on America's list and og for number 1!
That's called pre-selecting you don't want to do that until you shift to neutral you'll wear out the auxiliary section of the transmission
@@jamieodonnell3120 I have been driving 10 years and never had a problem since the switch on that truck is air actuated. Also I worked for freightliner for a year and also was a wheeled vehicle mechanic in the army for 14 years. And never seen a Air actuated switch have that issue.
Being a Pete 379 keep the windows and mirrors rain-x . When you get caught in rain it is the best way to get the rain to run off. The arrow dynamics just keep the water swirling around.
That’s a great motor and a beautiful unit you got there guys! Nice job. I also like and appreciate how honest murder Nova is about not knowing about trucks and learning as he goes. Good man.
Guys, EVERYTHING IS FINE ON YOUR TOATER... 24.5 TIRES AND WHEELS ARE FINE, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH HORSE POWER. AND YOU GUYS ARE GREAT... KEEP DIGGING AND I WILL NEVER STOP WATCHING... PS... I'M 44 YEARS IN A BIG TRUCK AND NOW RETIRED...YOU DID GOOD ON THIS ONE SHAWN.
Nice rig man, you should really enjoy it a lot! I use to take my motorhome to the track and just live in the pits for the 5 days from when the gates open until we leave at the end on Sunday. Many great times in the pits at night! Lots of friends use to do the same. Enjoy it! Take care and God bless you all! David
Drove a 2011 Pete with a C13. Put 1,200,000 miles on it. Had that Art head on it & every 6 months was at Peterbilt getting it fixed. After 2 years of that bullshit, had it deleted & had the DPF taken off & tuned. What a difference. Before 100kph loaded. After 120kph loaded. Fuel mileage went up 60 %. You will love the Cat motor. Do maintenance & it will love you back. Take care & God Bless!
When turning five miles an hour per gear is a good place to start so 35 is 7th gear and so on.
When you downshift take 2 or 3 gears at a time using the same principle just Rev it 1350 or so before you catch the lower gear.
I like how you show your new toter home and all of a sudden you're in RUclips truck driving school !
As a cat trained mechanic. I can tell you if it’s the original engine for a late 90s truck. Then it’s will be a 3406E which is a great engine. They were available in either 475hp or 550hp. There was also a 600hp version available, but the internals were different.
The C15 is the replacement for the 3406E, they are basically the same engine, just with a few upgrades. They physically look almost the same.
And that turbo whistle is normal for that engine. They all do it. Cummins guys always complain about that when they have to drive a cat. Lol
Great engine
@@melindaortiz9741 damn straight
It is nothing but a torque monster!!! Shift that rig at 1700 rpm. That’s were that cat loves to be!!! Remember it’s all about the torque with a cat!!!
@@wbr7869 damn right. I love driving cats for that exact reason. Hearing them lug down and really work hard is the greatest sound.
@@vintagetractorsaustralia Man that’s where they live!!! Those cats just love to be lugged!! It was had to get use to when you drive a Cummins and you rev the piss out of them!!! 2100 per shift and they love it but not the torque of a cat!!
Hell ya bro. Iv been a truck driver for 18 years. Still love it. If u need any info or help lmk. Learning a big rig is easy just ask a few questions an u can learn real quick. Double clutching on ur downshift helps. An if u don't come off the throttle all the way the engine brake won't activate. Or if u just rest ur foot on the clutch a lil bit during shifting the engine brake won't activate. Lil things like that will help. Keep the rpms under 18 hundo or u will wear out that motor... 17 hundo is a good shift point an then hold the next gear close an it'll drop in when rpm matches...easy stuff guys...good luck
love watching the videos. Can't wait to see shop truck kick some ass, and loving the OG car going back to procharged
Your gonna love the two slides across from each other. Makes a big difference. And having a bed room is a big thing. Looks good if your stuck inside from bad weather. Get rid of the one couch and get your self and your wife recliners. I put full size recliners in mine. As far as the revelers just hit auto level of it has it once it's done level to your desire.
They only need to be touching or enough to stop most of the rocking.
That 3406E is a damn good engine
@Erik Hyndman Fuel control with an EUI like the 3406E is so far superior to a PLN engine it’s not even funny. PLNs make power but they’ve got some serious downsides compared to an EUI or especially common rails.
I’ve owned and ran them all A B E the overly loved 6NZ and I still have a 07 accert prior to the ARD head and my favorite was my 99 379 E model CAT 15 spd loved that truck hands down best truck I’ve ever owned
I had to back all the trucks into the dock doors to load them cause we only had 3 doors & 7 trucks so I can back a truck damn near anywhere but it took me awhile to get the balls to take it down the road afraid of hitting someone or something. My buddy lied for me so I could get a job driving & I bought me a T 600 with a cummins in it ( wish my buddy would of told me to get the 4 1/4 Cat instead of that cummins ) and drove it for 10 years until I got cancer & had to quit driving. Even after 10 years of driving I still never considered myself a truck driver but I could drive a truck. You'll get use to it Sean !!!
When you shift into high range
Pre-load the button Don’t flip it up going thru neutral other than that your doing a fine job
Once you get used to the fuel pedal you’ll be able to leave the Jake brake on and you can just lift it up slightly to activate Jake
Or just let dude drive it how dude is gonna drive it. You didn’t write the check for it.
@@tate8020 88 I wasn’t trying to be mean about anything so keep your comments to yourself don’t be an asshole be a moron
Or just let him drive the damn thing. He’s gotta learn somehow. He fucks it Up he’ll know next time dude.
@@Dumptruckinginnewjersey Play nice children!
@@jaya.0069 lol Oooook
Nothing wrong with the 24.5 tires! I, personally, don’t like the Firestone tires! I remember blowing 2 of them out on the steering axle, not at the same time, but they weren’t steel belted tires. They were the old bias ply! Haven’t run any Firestones since then. Figured that the 3rd time might be bad since I held the first 2. Was on an older COE without power steering too! Need to put you a 14” drop visor over that windshield to help with the coolness factor! That is a very nice truck Shawn! I drove one of these for 35 years before having to give it up! Still miss it until I see the type of driver that is out there today!
This is going to be a badass build can't wait to see how it's going to look with fresh bags and lowered
Blinkers in those older trucks won’t automatically turn off like the newer ones will. You’ll get better at shifting and knowing what gear you’ll downshift into the more you drive it, just takes practice. Just glad to see you don’t use the clutch to shift into every gear like a lot of these rookies do! You needed to match the 24.5 tired all the way around so that your tires wear better.
"Shitter right there thats where I'll spend most of my time" 🤣🤣 sounds like me giving a tour lol. Love the videos guys keep up the great footage.
A few things... I drive a 2020 389 Peterbilt with a 3406E 2ws. The turbo always sings. Turn signal is manual on and off even on a 2020. If those are door mounted mirrors you can switch to cab mounted mirrors which are wider. And I run my Cat out to 1700 rpm or so to shift. And leave a little pressure on the throttle when you shift with the Jake on.
Love to tune it as well
187 you guys need to let this guy do a few things to it
Congrats on 187k subs on 187 Customs
Hey guy’s, love the videos. Check and see if Shawn is bringing the throttle up to match the speed of the transmission when he is down shifting. How ever much the rpm drops when you are going up a gear that is how much you need to raise the rpm when down shifting. Figuring out which gear will come with time in the seat. Keep up the good work,
ruclips.net/video/xXFZcYZPuhI/видео.html
Your doing good driving as long as you are learning everyday. 30yrs driving and I’m still learning everyday. Congratulations on the Toter. When I’m done long hauling Pete’s, that’s what I would like to get into.
I love how phantom likes getting Shawn fired up about the dumb comments people make. Funny stuff cause we all know how brutally honest Shawn is and he's going to tell us what he thinks lol. Keep up the awesome content guys
You Ment too say "Moron's", Not Guy's...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘😂💯🏁🏆✨
It's like phantom encourages him to get all fired up, lol
It's called content & these 2 do that chit well! It not only gets fans involved which Sean has said is important to him t it also switches stuff up ya know. I think they do it cuz they know yall gonna talk about it! In closing...
They got A Long way TO TOW! Short time to get there. Been Winnin in what they say can't be done! 2Jetblack novas in tow, 1 New the other 1' ol we call'm both Murder Nova's. now sit back shut up Just watch that Murder Run!
Watch out for them Smokeys ya hear!
Hard to beat the old 3406B model Cat! If you want to crank er up it will take it!
you picked a nice truck good combo! 359 is my favorite but 379s are saut after these days!
I wanna drive that beast…
Same brother
You guys should bring the toter and murder nova to onaway michigan the weekend of May 27th for the great lakes big rig challenge. It an awesome weekend of semi drag races. Such a great time.
Did you buy it from the late great Large Marge?
Sweet rig!! While shifting with the engine brake on try and keep your foot lightly on the throttle to keep it from kicking in
Be sure to adjust the clutch when needed, grease the clutch bearing and clutch fork through shafts.
Yep, the throw-out bearing and keep at least one inch of free travel on the clutch pedal.
But not too much grease.
@@mr.velocitystack4133
You’re preaching to the choir there do you know how they are on maintenance, they’ll probably call somebody to do it for him. 😂😂😂
@@gregsimon9061, I was trying to help the "driver", nothing more.
@@mr.velocitystack4133
Oh , you gave great advice, if you follow them from long ago, it’s like an inside joke, on the OG car they weren’t very good with a maintenance schedule.
A friend turned me on to your channel, and I am loving it. Thank you for sharing everything!
I love this one even more since I am a truck driver. I was impressed to see that you can get up through the gears! I'm sure that you can hit 'em all now, and are appreciating that mansion! Be safe and enjoy.
Awesome Shawn! Well deserved! Good luck on a good season this year
Learn to downshift by memorizing the miles per hour range for each gear. For example turning through an intersection will require between 15 to 25 mph. Making an immediate right turn will probably be 10 mph. Learn which gear coincides with those speeds. There’s only a couple to remember. If you’re skipping gears when you downshift, checking your speedometer will tell you which gear to go to. I hope this helps.
Great vid guys love the new wheels way more room for the fam! Be safe out there #team187
Pete,s are the Cadillacs of all big rigs ! CAT MOTOR another high hp high torque monster. Grew up in family trucking company my dad only roll in peterbilts … period ! Good choice Shawn, really nice rig.. congratulations. Be safe out there , enjoy !
Love the new rig, it will serve you guys well. Best of luck on America’s List and despite your struggles on the OG show Monday night, I KNOW you and Danny will get it figured out
The tire size is fine ..been trucking 40 years ...the engine the cat is good man ...my God love to have that truck
Quit opening the hood by the fender always pull from the front or you will warp the hood
Prove it.
Opened mine for 20 years by the fender and it's, well you know.....
Stop buying poorly built trucks and you won't have that warping issue
Those engines were million mile engines on one overhaul and many truck have achieved 2-3 million miles on the same engine with 1-2 overhauls at around 1.0 - 1.5 million miles. You guys did awesome finding the truck with a 3406E you have according to the year 99 of the truck you purchased. Though just like your race cars, class 8 trucks like your new rig were engine swapped like as if they were LS’s. All in the driver or owners quest for power and what they were accustomed too given their experience and wallet would allow.
The trick to leaving the Jake on while floating the gears is to rest your toe on the clutch pedal rod where it bends just above the floor to disengage the micro switch at the top of the clutch pedal’s travel. If there isn’t a few inches of free play it won’t work and a sign the clutch needs adjustment.

I have blue lights on my ‘04 F-150 for the 10,000 watt Alpine stereo. They are on 3 way switches so they are on, off or can flash at the beat of the music. 3 sets of lights on 3 switches. It’s actually pretty cool when it’s playing and I move the switches around.
3406e and c15 are same there is also twin turbo c15 accert factory hp is 400-550 depending on application

@@andrewknotts7806 well def know much more than me thanks for the info!
That’s a great engine. I would run Cat or Baldwin oil and fuel filters. I’m a 30 year veteran over the road truck driver. Horsepower will be between 475 and 550 from the factory the tag is on the side of the engine driver side right below the valve cover. And no, the more power you have the less work the truck has to do. Which means better fuel mileage. You need someone to drive it around for you just give me a call lol I’ll teach y’all all you need to know about that truck. Top to bottom. Y’all have a good one. Very nice ride
Keep rolling and god luck. Very nice truck. Am not a real truck driver but I drove thousands of miles driving semis registered as rvs delivering them for owners. Mostly volvos. All were automatic. Jake was amazing when I learned to set properly. Loved the ride view but parking is fun lol. 👍👍
Love it. Had a 98 379 3406E 550hp 18 spd. Had 8 inch straight pipes. Loved it. Also had a 06 379 c15 acert 550hp 18 spd. The 06 would make upto 60 pounds of boost and the 98 made around 30 if i remember right. Loved the cab mounted mirrors on the 06. They stick out just a little bit more.
Just keep driving.. the first time I drove a semi I was 17 and my boss jumped in with me and showed me the controls and rode 5 miles back to the home place and turned me loose. Hauled 25 loads of cattle and 10 loads of grain in the next week and I definitely had the shifting and jake issues but I learned it all on the fly and it all turned out good
Big fan,nice rig,always liked the straight piped Peterbuilts. Long trips might get sick of the noise.I couldn't tell if you were using clutch to shift after take off
I never do,and I'm fast enough to shift with the engine brake on,you'll get there.
Good luck with your next race season!!
MURDER NOVA FOREVER!!!
Turbos on a rig whistle, my second favorite part apart them, first is always the Jake’s. It won’t take you long to figure out floating gears and down shifting. Just gotta take your time and figure out rev matching it which can be aggravating. Great job on driving though and I can’t wait to see it finished
Well as someone whos an automotive machinist I can tell you that your lucky its an e model. The c15s are scalloped in between the valve seats and are terrible about cracking Seat to seat. I'm not big on the overhead cam cats just because they are so so heavy and roadside repair is significantly more diffacult instead of a multiple cylinder head setup. All in all though the 3406 family is a good one. Congrats guys hopefully it gets you years and years of trouble free use.
Always keep 5 gallons of water in the Black tank and a chemical rv pod and half a cup of dawn blue dish soap even when sitting and especially when traveling it will keep it fresh and keeps the sensors clean. Also half a cup of dawn blue dish soap down the shower 🚿 and the kitchen sink with 3 gallons of water 💧 To keep all tanks clean and fresh 👌.
It's just something u get used to shifting with the Jake plus all trucks blinker won't cancel way to go I'm happy for you great choice on truck great motor I'm super happy for you keep up the great work we love watching you guys role on brother
Eufaula, Oklahoma here, love the new tow Rig..
i always rev too high before i shift aswell... i have the same instinct... its nice... i like the blue... lookin forward to seeing how you make it yours...
You won’t have any problem with the low pro 24.5 steer tires. Those Firestone 591’s you have on the steer are great tires!
3406e is 475 hp stock.. thats a badass motor.. take it to cat and make sure its been flashed.. 24.5 is the best tire, don't worry about it.. btw; don't open hood by the fender. it will spring your hood and won't shut right.. foot on bumper and pull on the horn on hood..
When you down shift get the r’s down to around 1100 or 1000 then blip the throttle shift to neutral and reve the engine up to around 1500 to 1700 and then put it into the gear. All in one motion. Love the channel you guys are fun to watch and have super funny story’s to tell always entertaining.
One last thing Shawn, I know you guys race out west at Bandimere and Idaho, make sure your in the right gear when running those steep grades in the mountains. You can cook the breaks in nothing flat if your not careful . I’m sure you’ll figure it all out just trying to share my 25 years experience driving for a living. Don’t want to see you guys get into a bad spot. Best of luck with everything you guys do in 2022. OG Moron here!
Pre-def… thank god on that. So happy for you brother, you deserve it! Run 579 Firestones they will not cup or wear funny! I have 40 of these trucks.
For shifting and determining what gear should you be in. Pretend your gear splitter doesn't exist and you have a 10 speed. 5low/5high. If the speed limit is 35mpg. Add the numbers together. 3+5=8thgr.. 45mph/ 4+5=9th. This is a rough est based on gearing but start there. Your side switch is only a 1/2 gear. So think of it as a 10sp with an assist for when pulling weight.
Man that’s a largecar. 6nz is one of the best engines caterpillar ever built. Bagged, laying on the ground, will be a head turner for sure.
guys let me say this nice pete time and pratice each truck is differnt you will learn what it likes when and where i have been driving big trucks for over twenty five years as my father before me i grew up in big trucks your shifting will come in time
i love 187 customs i watch every chance i get . i could say alot about the big rigs but there is always someone eles that knows more .. an old timer told me one time you wanna learn truck drivin sit in a truck stop restraunt and just listen dont say a word just listen . keep up the great content all you guys are doing great . maybe one day ill get a chance to meet you all and buy a shirt till then be safe god bless .. keep the peddle on the floor and and keep shiften gears
You will get use to it real quick when u start using it. I remember I just got my permit I think I was 14 or 15 and my uncle pulled bull racks and he made me drive the truck with a 53 foot bull rack loaded with bulls through 3 states he didn’t sleep for 5 days previously so he said drive it I’m going to bed and if u have questions wake me up. I was intimidated but like I said I got use to it real quick lol
If you touch fuel peddle with jake on you can shift. Gears. Don’t lug motor. Bad or turbo. And let motor idle for few mins before you turn off. I have 1987 pet ext. 379. Bought new. 4 mil miles on truck 2 complete over haul 9 yrs ago. Still like new. Bit upgrades. Air ride front end. Took 13 speed out now 18. And kta 600. 370 rears. She had wings she fly
I've had to have that exact same conversation with my wife several times every year when the weather turns to change the ceiling fans according to the weather 🤠🤠🤠
Engine serial is on a tag passenger side rear of the block. It will tell you anything you need to know about the engine. If the tag is gone it will be stamped on the block under the exhaust manifold halfway between pan and manifold. 24.5s have more rubber and last the longest . The Pete’s don’t have as much cab room as others. That’s a jam up truck !! Good luck this year
Yeah, traveling. Come to Delaware International Speedway Drag Strip and do an invitational No Prep race.
The big handle on the center of the hood is to pull your hood open, you will torque it and twist it lifting from one side, the hardest thing ever is guessing catching a gear while your rolling , just downshift and you the engine brake as much as you can, plus brakes get hot and fade so the engine brake is your friend. You sure have a nice rig for you and family to travel and pull your car, you look like your doing fine and you will get used to it all eventually, keep doing what your doing, living a dream. Racing for a living and travel with family and friends 🇺🇸
300 Cummins would be great if you only want to drive downhill lol. 3406E is a great motor!! Pretty sure the made them up to 550hp. C15s have a little more displacement but basically the same. Plus most C-15s have some or all the emissions crap. Hell of a purchase Shawn!!!
What the guys refiring to on the front tires is they are rated for around 6250 per tire and you might be heavier then that on the front axle being that long of wheel base. But damn that thing is cool
I'm a truck driver an learning to downshift is the hardest crap ever. It took me forever to figure it out then I got an auto truck. If I had to go back to manual. It would take a lot to relearn
you can leave the jake brake on while shifting, have a toe on the gas stops it from engaging. an instructor can pass a fail mark on a test for hearing the brake at the wrong time after instructing to have it turned on, called under improper coordination.
Blinkers stay on all rigs atleast Pete's anyway I've never driven anything else I've been lucky 8 years now. There are times when I'm paying attention that I will miss my gear rolling a corner but if I'm in lala land I dont even notice. Awe some truck looks great and the blue with the white really ties in well. Love the videos.
Sweet rig! If you haven’t heard it, I recommend giving the Clutch tune “The House That Peterbilt” a listen. Great song.
all semi's have blinkers like that. that's why they always leave them on. usually when you press down on the clutch just a little the jakes are supposed to go off when your shifting but I noticed on my peterbuilt the jakes don't go off. I have to turn the switch off so maybe its a newer pete thing for the jakes to not turn off when you hit the clutch.
Bad ass Pete!! Gotta love that CAT turbo whistle. No worries bro seat time will cure all that💪🏼💪🏼 Be safe and 🔨⬇️ driver
Loving the new Pete. 3406 is a 6 cylinder Pete. Same motor I had in the one I drove. Also had the same size wheels as y’all. No worries about the tires blowing for sure. Nice ride!! Hope y’all kill it this year.
Your gonna love that 3406 cat . I drive a truck for a living and believe me Your gonna love it .
That's bad ass. Will you do a video on how to drive that thing? What's high and low? How many gears do you have? What's jake brakes and how do you use them?
Looks Gangster with the white color and the new tires, spikes, proud for you Shawn ! Keep the videos coming !☆
That’s my number one favorite comment is when I am working at the rv dealership and people wonder in to the shop is I wouldn’t of done that or I would do this if it was mine and my answer is well when u but it I do u until then I will do what the customer that owns it wants or the what the owner of the dealership wants me to do because they all look good from my house lol
There is usually a solid steel spacer below the suspension of the seat you can take that out or put a really short one in and mount the seat directly to the floor to get it lower and still have suspension. If u want to get lower
The part about making the bed cracks me up. My wife is that woman!! If she forgets it will drive her crazy all day lol
On your Jake, just barely touch your clutch to disable it until you get used to what you can get away with on your fuel feed. Nice nice rig Shawn
Love your honesty. If you don't know, say you don't. We are all just stumbling through life learning. Hard Knocks University forever!!!
You guys definitely need to get a hold of 4 states chrome in Joplin,Mo if you need anything for that truck good people. ✌🏼
It is a very good motor one of the best motors I've ever drove and I've drove it a many a mile you got yourself a nice ride.
CAT C-15 3406E awesome engine. I loved mine would make oversized loads seem like there was nothing back there. You can NEVER have too much horsepower especially in a big rig. You could have 1500hp and its would just be a whole lot of fun. Bostrom low ride seats, and set it back farther from where it sits now to stretch the legs and be low with air in the seat.👌
General rule of thumb for ten speeds and others with some play is. When you don’t know what gear look at your speed. If your doing 25 then 2+5 =7. So 7 gear. 35=8th gear. 45= 9th gear. And when down shifting there is 500rpms between each gear always. So rev match up 500 and it will fall in place. Also don’t let your foot all the way off the gas or lightly cover the clutch to keep the jake brake from engaging on shifts. Good luck out there.
The 3406e is the previous model right before the c15 was made. 3406e is almost 16 liter and a great engine. Later on in 2006 the c15 accert was made twin turbo for emission purposes. The single turbo 6nz c15 is supposed to have a stronger block for 1000 hp drag racing trucks so for what you have a 3406e is a great engine i have one in my driveway set at 600 hp in a kenworth. Cool truck
A 2015 with a 3406e is a glider truck that is emissions exempt no def fluid or dpf crap that way. The Jake on when you shift will come with practice its all about letting off the go pedal just not all the way so the jake hits
Shawn and Phantom you guys have the best Cat motor, its a 475 stock from the factory to Max 550. It is the c15 3406E 6NZ engine, I had one in the 03 Pete 379 I used to drive for 7 years. I miss that truck, the ACERT motor is the twin turbo after the 6NZ engine that one had 600hp. It was Cat’s way to be “environmental” friendly. Those are bullet proof especially if it is rebuilt by Cat.
How do you know it's a 6nz?🤔
@@rockhaller3899 they did mention that the motor is a 1999, the 6NZ came out in 1999. 03 I believe was the last year of that series before they went to the acer series. My old trucking company had one of those also
I am a truck driver most semis the turn signals a not self canceling. It is an awesome rig congrats.
It's nice guys, you all are blessed. And to Murder Nova, you are the most down to earth of most of the guys I see on the show. Maybe you will be able to make this out. (lol) You guys are awesome.
Put it in the magic gear!!
When ur going around corner pull it in low gear under the reverse.
I got a 2000 379 Pete with a 6nz c15 best motor I ever had 550 hp no trouble pulling them loads
Loved my 3406! A real solid platform
