Not Ranger content, wasn't sure where to put this.

05' 9900i, ISX/13-spd (would have preferred a T800, but I'm not the one paying for the truck lol):




















Some randoms of a few Pete's also in the lot:






























(not centered, sorry!)

 

Cool pictures! I've always been fascinated by those, I'd love to actually check the interior out in person one day.

 

Now those are some nice rigs!

 

i interviewed with navistar today for a summer internship. not really sure which division but it'd be cool. those are some nice looking rigs, they don't make em like that around here.

 

Slam your peter!

 

that sounds so dirty.


nice trucks. i love the pete' that is orange with those huge stacks.

 

This Pete is local... 379 JD Trucking...

 

Nice truck!

 

trevor, any of the yellow pete COE?

 

those are some amazing pictures man! and sweet trucks of course

 

i think you will like that national with the cummins in it. they have been very strong and reliable engines for the fleet i work for

 

Nice shots/rigs! You guys just transport within Saskatchewan?

 

Is that an old pack of Du Maurier smokes?

 

that cummins badge adds some class to it.

 

Same here! I love the slammed look of them! Every time I see one I want to buy one lol I would make it my DD.

 

Thanks guys!

Thanks! Some are extremely nice, the last company I drove for had a show/race truck. Black and chrome 379 with a hard-wood floor, chrome/black gauges and red on black leather interior with nicer electronics than I have at home. Helped it had 1600hp too!

Navistar is a good company, they make some very nice products in all truck markets! These 9900's, 389/379 and W900's are very popular trucks here.

I hope so, never driven one of these 9900's before, nor used an ISX powered truck for any extended periods of time. I wish it had an N14, or maybe a C-15 like my old truck, but for as little as we haul, the cost of the C15 isn't worth it.

Thanks Laz! Actually just for use on the farm, hauling out and picking up grain/fertilizer. My last job was hauling within SK, and the odd trip out of province or to the US.

Hah, no idea! We haven't taken ownership of it yet, so I was just sneaking some peaks at it in the lot before they take it in to clean it up and check it out.

Thanks again for looking guys, will get some better pictures of it when we pick it up.

 

that truck looks great i wish the state of ky wouldnt be so cheap and buy a decent truck for us to drive.

 

I assume you skip gears when the trucks aren't hauling a trailer. What does your shift pattern typically look like when you're not pulling anything? Just curious

 

I dont know about sniper but i start in 1st go to 2nd then high range lo then though the rest of the gears,im in a 13 speed aswell but a slightly diffrent pattern.

 

Depends quite a bit on what trans, and also gearing. Running bobtail or empty usually start in 2nd or 3rd and run through every 2nd gear, or just avoid splitting gears. Each person has their own preference. Plus the large engines like these are most efficient below 1800RPM, so a couple extra shifts to keep the engine in it's efficient range (or governed if with a ***** of a company), even when empty, is sometimes worth it to same a bit of fuel if in traffic.

 

Nice truck, you'll love the cummins (ISX). We have them at work and have had very little problems with them. On the other note thought, KEEP IT PLUGGED IN!!! cummins hate to be cold.

 

Brought the new truck home. Feels good and all. Rides like a Cadillac, has a radio and the gauges actually work! Fantastic!

Few pictures:


























Webasto system! Yeeee-haaaaww! Engine and sleeper system, ecstatic about that:




Start hauling grain again Monday . . . hope I get back into a 13-spd pretty quick!

Day-cab Lonestar straight-piped fuel truck . . . as much as I hate them this thing is B.A:


International something or other mil-trucks:

 

Awesome truck man! I started working for a Propane company and have been driving crappy Freighliner FL70's. A buddy of mine his teaching me how to drive one identical to this one:



Just black instead of red. You ever ride in that one? Does the hood sound like a flock of robins is stuck in the cab? My buddies truck is annoying as HELL!

I only have my B-class right now, but I'll be getting my A some time this summer. I'm sick of construction, and my buddy works for a pretty good company out of Milk River that's been hiring us Montana boys like crazy.

 

-10*C lol It was 80*F here today.

 

Woah that fuel truck front end is crazy cool looking. New truck is nice, great pictures!
