Pretty excited for this little project my husband brought home (recreational use). 2000 KW w900l with a 3406e.

We've had everything from a Mac dump truck to a KW with a log loader for scrap iron. Still have a 70s Freightliner COE with a 3406b.

None of them had a sleeper like this big lady. Planning to just haul some toys around. Looked at newer trucks but we both hate EGR and DEF systems with a passion.

My favorite model truck with my favorite engine. Couple areas to check for frame issues. Under the 5th wheel tends to get rust holes if not regularly cleaned. Also the steer axle spring hanger area. They used to drill the mounting holes through the bottom flange of the frame creating a weak spot. Check it thoroughly for cracks.

Love those old trucks. That W900 will serve you all well, especially with that nice yellow engine under the hood!

Prolly my second favorite truck is my ‘90 KW W900L James Bond Edition… I was a bit sad to have to paint it, but it turned out pretty neat. It was a fun project. Good luck with yours!!
