our 567 meter bill with a RI hundred and sixty-eight inch side door sleeper this
is our latest and greatest big cab it's got an inch wider cab it's got the
extended hood it has a Texas bumper these custom sleepers are very heavy on
the front axle because you have a large sleeper and a long wheelbase after that
weight goes on the front axle so we've designed the 567 with an 18,000 pound
for an axle this house so has the 315 tires with 9 inch rims this allows you
18,000 pounds on your front axle which is more than you need but it's better to
have more capacity than you need than to be overloading your front axle the steer
tires on these custom sleepers have a very difficult job because the long
wheelbase there's a lot of torque and there's a lot of 4
they're also very heavily loaded and you didn't make sure that you run the proper
high inflation pressure so the tires don't get heated up and throw it read
these are 315 these are Michelin X line
they're rated for 9,000 pounds of tire which gives an 18,000 pounds of front
axle capacity which this truck has farted this truck weighs about fourteen
thousand five on the front axle so it gives you a good ride and it gives you
good tire life and we're on the front axle we put these because it's a wide
axle so that you can get a full turn on your axle cut we put these fender lips
on here to keep the spray off the tires from getting outside of the fender well
we've got the LED cabin sweeper lights all up and down
the stainless steel panels this has a nice little extra storage box for the
things you need you know outside of the truck this is the after treatment system

latest McCray is very efficient improved sensors and free software much better

rise like that truck over there has the high rise adapter which gives you that's
that's globally and that gives you the overhead cabinets but this is the ultra
cab which we see a large opening that's a Peterbilt visor which I think makes
the truck look a lot better we've got the chrome mirrors and then towards the
