- Thanks for tuning in again everyone! If you're looking for pricing or other information on the truck, please feel free to contact me at jtroche@hissongkw.com or 330-730-1246
The AG400 and AG460 are both great suspension systems, but a lot of people don't understand what makes them great, and why they're a great value. We dive into that a bit today as we look at this brand new 2020 W990 along the way.
Great looking truck and once again another great video!
Thanks Wayne!!!!
I bet the air intake’s reduce drag by quite a bit compared to external breathers.
Good video of how the suspension works. However I can’t find anything on how to set the ride height on mine. It’s beating the crap out of me. Please help
Really like the suspension explanation. I have always loved the 8 bag KW ride.
Great truck. I just bought a W900
Can I upgrade my ag200 into an ag400?
Thanks, great video
Wheel base
id like to see it with the round cleaners, like the W900 has....maybe mixing old with new
You and me both!
Great job on the suspension details 👍🏼
Thanks!!!! It's a misunderstood suspension I think.
Yeah I want to see that that truck is huge when you are close and you are small in there how tall are you
Thanks Josh for the informative video. Time to retire my 2012 T660 with 750k+ miles. I’m trying to talk the boss into a W990 and showing him some of your videos. He wants a T680. Wish me luck!!!!
Bruce, do we need to team up and do a comparison on those to see what works the best for your business? :D
Is this still a torque reactive suspension? Or is more towards the euro and Volvo primex non tq reactive?
Personally I like the chrome air scope. It adds distinction to the W990.
Totally agree with you on that statement.
I agree Ross.
Air intake is a great replacement for the old round breather. So i'm happy with it just as it is. Another good topic, keep up the good work.
Thanks Stew! I agree!!!
I love the dual stacks and those fighter jet style air intakes. You did a great job of providing an appropriate level of interior appointments to keep the price reasonable. The best is disc brakes all around. Thanks for the info on the rear suspension. Very helpful.
Thanks Mike!!!! The boss man does a pretty good job and finding where exactly a truck needs to be for good items....and good pricing. :D
Definitely like the W990 day cab!
I don't care old round or new ... ua induction(?) can I get it without any chrome? Or better yet, could I get two shades of black with black to red/yellow flames and a silk looking HOT RED bra on the front of the young thing?
The more I look at it, the more I like the lines of the new induction ... it's kinda growing on me.
Cuddo's to Kenworth the W990 is an instant classic , great explanation of how different suspensions handle torque & rough roads.
Still cant beat the look of the w900l and 389
Need more day cab videos
You got it Gary! What do you normally haul with yours? I'll see what we have that I can match up> :D
Drove a 89 w900 with 3408
@@garynordby6789 I'll see what I can do Gary!
Very nice truck, just needs a longer visor, some 6in pipes and matching fenders
T890
Nice video.
Thanks!
how about having air filters like the w900 on the hood instead
We could do that, but you'd have to run an Oversize load permit all of the time. :D
I did not think that air filters would be wider then the fenders
@@KenworthofRichfield
@@christucker3049 quite a bit actually. That part of the hood is almost as wide as the cab at 2.1m. :D
Hmm! Okay then that's right amazing video of this W990! Especially the fact it's a manual transmission (18spd),the dual exhaust looks better not to mention than a single. Good axle technology also. #keepontruckin 😉
I do miss the 8 bellow system.
We have a few here for ya :D
I was wondering when class 8 trucks would start to have disk brakes main stream like the four wheelers have.
I'd like to see it with the W900 breathers on it.
Still think it looks like a old International.
Agree
Been up close with one yet?
Great video! I'd love to see the Photoshop of the air intake, and looking forward to the videos on disc brakes and all the other great stuff you present. It sounds like this truck was ordered without a specific customer lined up - is that a big portion of your business, and do you get any guidance from Kenworth, a network of dealers, etc., on how to build the truck?
Please do one without the air intake
I'll start working on it over the next few days. :D
Try doing it with the air intake painted
We'll give that a shot.
I've seen pictures where someone has painted them and they look pretty good. I prefer to just leave them shiny.
That would be more like a scoop than cal induction from what I can see. Hummm 🤔my spidey engineering sense says there is a way to have the best of both worlds ... a scoop (for low speeds) that uses a baffle to switch to induction (for high speeds) once a certain velocity resistance is obtained (via sail switch) and it would look just like it does now.... just a thought.
Im still not sold on that new body style. However would be cool to get big breathers on the sides of the hood instead of that set up
I can see wanting that.
@@KenworthofRichfield at least get it back dated in appearance like the W900. Classic paint might help too
I would like to see it without the air intake.
We'll get to work on this over the next couple of days.
The Limited Edition interior is top notch for sure, but this interior is probably the next best option.
Not fan of color, but love the modern style of the truck 👍
You don't like red trucks? I'm not sure we can be friends..... LOL
Leave it like you have. Doesn't need two big air cans hanging on the sides.
Beautiful truck! What’s the Price Tag on this one. Ballpark
I don't have a price on it yet, but I'd think just a shade north of $150 even
Thanks a Bunch!
I've been seeing more KWs with those little gutter things around the outside of the door windows. What are those and can they be ordered? My T680 could use those.
What is the weight difference between the 400 and low air leaf style?
It's actually a completely different design. A Low Air Leaf uses 2 bags behind the axle with a front pivot. The AG400 uses 2 airbags in front of and behind the axle with both upper and lower arms. It allows for the axle to maintain the driveline angles through the travel eliminating binding, and helping to maintain traction.
I was wondering if the 8 bag was heavier cause it has so many more components.
Beautiful truck. I didn't like the 990 at all when they were announced. Kinda like um now. Let's see her without the intake. And and a could you give me a rough price. Thanks
That's an Easter egg with wheels
hahahaha.
Do you have a personal preference over Rockwell or Eaton when it comes to differentials and axle/ brake components?
Alot of areas like truck stops its getting harder to get 24.5 what happene if u change to 22.5 after the fact is it going to change anything
Devin, we can swap them out. I've found that it usually adds about $1500 or so to the cost of the truck, but it can be done.
I think the gear ratio changes a little as well going from 24.5 to 22.5. I know when I went from 22.5 to 24.5 it did and my speedometer was of by 3 mph. They're just going to have to go in and adjust the trucks settings after the swap. Josh's dealership is capable of handling anything regarding that.
@@waynenorbreyjr9371 It does and we do. :D
Can you get the airride front suspension on the 990?
Yes! It actually just became an option a few weeks ago. :D
@@KenworthofRichfield that is good news.
Whats your take on New-way suspensions ?
A lot of guys like them, especially in the heavy haul side of things. Honestly, I do not have much experience with them myself. It's definitely something that I need to look into more. The big thing is the driveline angles. They do change with the New-Way
Are they VECU trucks or CECU only?
I believe VECU (the more modern one)
Can you render a color matched air intake and a delete of the intake?
Why not put step on driver side instead of climbing on fuel tank if not putting steps on both sides
Yeah, photoshop it out would be nice to see it like that
Can you get them color matching instead?
We can get the frame in a color close, yes. :D
I just realized that you were talking about the air intakes....... Look for a post from me mid-week and that may be the route that we go to see what it looks like. :D
@@KenworthofRichfield I did a photoshop and it's not as sexy as I thought it was going to be. Shiny is much better. Maybe in real would it would turn out better.
Your videos are great keep up the " Sales Pitches" lol
@@rodk.6878 Thanks!!!!
Not fond of the intake, what’s the price of the truck?
do Peterbuilt and Kenworth still come off the same line, also what brake types did they have before disc?
William 1221 drum brakes.
If you're referring to the class 8 trucks, than no. Peterbilts are built in Denton, Texas and Kenworths are built in Chillicothe, Ohio and Renton, Washington as far as the US goes. The medium duty line in Canada (if I'm not mistaken) Kenworths and Peterbilts roll off the line together.
Do you have any 6x2 lift axels like in Europe? Almost every 3 axel truck here is 6x2 lift axel. I'm from Finland 😀
Unfortunately, it's not real common here and I'm not sure why. On this side of the pond, people are slow to change. We are seeing more and more trailers where one of the axles is liftable though....
@@KenworthofRichfield Thanks for answering. It's nice to see how you do things there in 🇺🇸. You have great videos. Keep on trucking 😀
@@zabotify thank you!!!!!
Is that pink?
the ACC is junk my truck has it and gives me Whiplash sometimes because it thinks a road sign is a car and Slams on the brakes for a second also take off the air intake
I don't mind the air intakes at all. Gives it a modern look. Lot of cars have something similar to it, Chevy Camaro and the Toyota Camry are a few examples.
I thought you might have fell and hit your head with the pink
hahahahaha. I have...multiple times.....but I still like red. :D
Nice thanks Sir.. never pink 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hate the "smart" steering wheel. I have yet to see any that do not inadvertently allow you to flip a switch while turning the wheel. And that goes for every vehicle that has one.
Love mine, spec every truck with one.
How much$?$?$?$?$?
Do it I don't like the thing at least paint it sticks out like a scab
Definitely cover it up. Looks wicked out of place on the hood. JUST SAYING. !
Saw one online the other day with them painted.....and it looked good. Honestly, Chrome or painted looks good to me.
I am sorry but the 8 bag system is the worst suspension system around. Gets stuck the most and rides like garbage. Worst suspension system around!
Interesting as we've got a ton of people that say quite the opposite about i!
I liked the pink, The red is boring. I stopped the video as soon as the color changed. Later.
I was gonna say if it was pink, I have some female coworkers who would've loved it! Nice trick thou.
hahahaha. I figured that'd get some people laughing. :D
Air intake looks like caca way to big goddy to much chrome be better painted
?
Get rid of that intake
Put a can on it
Looks like a international. Sad.
I can understand why the front end of the body has changed. For better air flow over the truck. Compared to the w900. The air cleaner being shaved may help with aerodynamics. I personally have always been a Kenworth fan. Especially the w900. This w990 I think is an ugly truck. That big shiny air scoop on the side of the hood. Sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s very ugly. Would look less ugly is it was painted same color at the body
