Help with specs

I believe it's only at a particular dealer. I've shopped for my all over the country, and got the best deal at Liberty KW. They were in Chester, PA tho i've heard they moved to Jersey....

We have talked about a T800 but, it really doesn't shorten the wheel base that much. Another thing with the T800 was that it cost more than one of the 389's. Right now we around $153,000 with Fet. for a Pete 389 the KW would be $144,000 plus Fet. which puts it around $161,000 plus $10,000 worth of options that the Pete dealer is willing to cover half of on the 389.
Oh and probably the main reason for buying a Pete is because that what the boss want's. Even though he will never emit to it.

this is true. and kenworth just released a few weeks ago they're starting to do gliders. i love my c15 but for his application (and in a glider) why not go with a signature 600 cummins?

Also the boss wants a Pete so another truck we are looking at is a Pete 367 which is there version of a T800. Only problem with it is they seem to weigh more than a comparable 388 or 389.

2 speed rears are the way to go>ask your sales rep about the cost. I had 3:55's on the high side and 4:88's on the bottom side. You can shift them on the fly so you're not sruck in one ratio. You're going to be running in the hills and the 2 speeds will really shine in that geographic area.
