I worked for Peterbilt at the Madison TN plant from 2004-2007 , made stupid money building those trucks. I miss the hell out of that job.

I did a stereo install in a 99 Freightliner Classic for my dad, we since sold the truck. Had 3200 watt stereo in it. It was fun wiring it because, when I managed to get in the dash and wire in the headunit i found that all of the wires were yellow and did not have any numbers on them. I ended up running all the wiring for the speakers under the cab because there was nowhere to go in the cab with them. When I installed the speakers in the overhead I had to drop the headliner, and overhead compartment itself and naturally the air horn went off. Kept the amps under the bunk where the qualcomm unit used to be. The best thing of all is that I did not take away any storage space in the truck.  It took me about a week to get the entire stereo set up with the fiberglass enclosures etc I had to make.

Saw one of my former Peterbilt coworkers today , he said Dec 1, 2009 the factory will cease to be . :(

thats  a shame. hecho en Mexico now I guess..... like how GM did outside of Cincinnati

They have a non union plant in Denton Texas so all the Petes will come from there now.
