New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

My father and I gave our Western Stars up to drivers about a 1 1/2 years ago now. About 4 months ago we ordered 2 of these 388 Petes. We flipped a coin for who got the first one. I won but that didn't seem quite right so this is his and mine will be in tomorrow. Let me know what you think.

Thank you...drove the first one home today. It was like driving a Cadilac:D

Sweet new rig! Are you going to be stretching these 2 like the others?

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

You have some of the coolest new toys, I'm so jealous. That truck looks great as is but I'm sure we'll see a stretch for the big hauls.

Great looking Pete, we need a photo of the twins together.

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

Thanks...That'll happen for sure. Mine should be delivered tomorrow then straight to the fab shop for the lowboy ramps.

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

Thanks guys but there is no stretch in the works for these 2...got to keep them short enough to utilize that 22,000 lb. steer axle.

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

So what are the specs of the new trucks?

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

Isx 600 cummins, 18 speed tranny with a 2 speed browny reduction axilary transmission behind it, 46,000 lb rear axles with full locking units and a 22,000 lb. Steer axle. Should be a stump puller

Wow, I remember in 1979 my Dad bought a new R Mack. It was a 300 5 speed, He always said it had more power than the 318 Detroit in the 1969 Hendrickson it replaced, your new trucks with 600 HP, my, how times have changed.

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

Yes sir...I hear al them ol stories to...just in my driving career things have come a long way and thats only about 15 years

Got Pop's lettered and dragged the pull trucks up to Red Bluff over the weekend. Still have to put all the goodies on but we couldn't wait to take her for a spin.

Beautiful toys.

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

There some great looking trucks!!

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

Thank you gentlemen...never had a Pete before personally. They are absolutely awesome to drive!

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

Nice looking Blue Heeler, my Grandpa used to have them on the farm.

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

Does the Pete clutch pedal bother you any?

Cheer's, Neil.

Re: New 2013 Heavy Haul 388 Pete
 

It makes noise at the top when yo ulet it out that is a little different but I notice that all of our Pete conventionals do the same thing. Takes a little getting use to. There are plenty of things that make up for it though...like that bueatiful aluminum hood instead of a futuristic looking fiber glass hood;)

keep a eye on the fuel additive tank you dont want to run that dry
