Every time I get in the Ty I think it needs more miles... I'm only clocking about 139k or so :lol:

Re: Hit 200,000 miles last night.
And for really high millage it's a KW. :rotf: Went to the ATHS national meet in Colorado Springs last summer. I didn't count but I'd guess there were more old KW's than old Pete's. Used to own a '65 Pete and '51 KW. Given a choice I think I'd rather driven the old KW. Drive a '96 Pete now, nice truck. Especially compared to 25 years ago when I had my own trucks. Company I work for has the '96, couple of 2004 Pete's, a 1998 Ftlnr, and 2006 KW. The keep them all in top shape. Nice fleet. Oh yea, my '86 Bimmer beater has 220,000 miles.
Check this out. All wheel drive, crew cab.

Re: Hit 200,000 miles last night.
To a large extent that's true. Cummins or Cat engines. Fuller trans. Rears fuller or Rockwell. Peterbilt and KW are both owned by Pacar. It's been years since I bought a truck but I think the price points are still Freightliner, Pete, KW. With KW at the top.
You would be amazed at how quiet and smooth big trucks are these days. The '07 KW where I work is like driving a car.

Pete, KW, Freightliner same truck, diffrent cabs

Talk about some heavy stuff, I had Truck Powertrain a few courses ago, and a Fuller Roadranger trans is in the 750lb area. Big stuff to work with, but its cool how its packaged so tight. Single disc clutch systems, double disc with potted flywheel, rear ends, auxillaries, it was all covered. Very interesting class.:2cents:
