AFTERSALE SUPPORT<br />
Dealer Network Ready for the Model 579<br />
<strong>Peterbilt</strong> customers know it’s not just trucks<br />
that have helped bestow “legend” status on<br />
the famous red oval. It’s unparalleled, coastto-coast<br />
customer support as well.<br />
Now at more than 250 locations throughout the<br />
United States and Canada, the <strong>Peterbilt</strong> dealer network<br />
remains tirelessly dedicated to the needs of its customers,<br />
whether it be sales, service, parts or financing. And the<br />
dealer network is uniquely prepared to support the new<br />
<strong>Peterbilt</strong> Model 579, according to <strong>Peterbilt</strong> General<br />
Manager Bill Kozek.<br />
“<strong>Peterbilt</strong> has committed extensive resources to not only<br />
engineering, perfecting and introducing the innovative<br />
Model 579, but ensuring that the infrastructure exists to<br />
support its seamless integration into our customers’ fleets,”<br />
says Kozek.<br />
“You’ll find our sales representatives are wellschooled<br />
in the features of this exciting new truck, and<br />
how they can specifically benefit your application and<br />
operation. Our parts departments are — as always —<br />
properly and extensively resourced to meet all of your<br />
needs, and dealership personnel can help direct you to<br />
attractive financing options that are available through<br />
PACCAR Financial.<br />
“And should service be necessary, rest assured that<br />
our factory-trained, certified service technicians have<br />
been trained extensively in the numerous technological<br />
advancements that lay the foundation for the<br />
Model 579.”<br />
Kozek notes that a corollary exists in matching premium<br />
customer service with premium products, as both<br />
Models 587 and 210 were recently recognized as<br />
American Truck Dealers Commercial Truck of the Year.<br />
“Much as we build a truck, <strong>Peterbilt</strong> is uncompromising<br />
in customer support and service. We not only build a<br />
great product — we support it as well.” FC<br />
Watson & Chalin has two new additions to its popular, steerable Tru-Track Alumilite family.<br />
Joining the SL-1190 13.5K, are the SL-0893 8K and the SL-2055 20K.<br />
Whether you’re looking for an 8K, 13.5K or 20K steerable<br />
lift axle – Watson and Chalin has the right one for you!<br />
<strong>Peterbilt</strong> installs all three of these steerable lift axles, depending<br />
on your vocational application and capacity needs.<br />
The new SL-0893 8K lift axle design, enhanced over our SL-0851<br />
configuration, is the industry’s first 8,000 pound capacity lift<br />
axle designed to maximize your payload under federal bridge<br />
applications. The new SL-0893 designed with premium rubber<br />
bushings and unique ride height adjustment promotes reduced<br />
weight, improved durability and lower maintenance; all this<br />
including a stronger warranty.<br />
The new SL-2055 20K sets the standard for a high capacity<br />
steerable lift axle. This 20,000 pound capacity lift axle incorporates<br />
a fabricated axle beam promoting reduced weight and<br />
rugged durability; weighing almost 200 pounds less than the<br />
current suspension. In addition, a full 25 degrees of wheel-cut<br />
and our unique ride-height adjustment feature are integrated<br />
into the SL-2055 design.<br />

Fuller® Convertible Transmission<br />
+ Solo Advantage® Clutch<br />
= First Class Performance and<br />
Return on Your Investment<br />
Eaton’s Fuller convertible transmission<br />
operates as a 9-speed<br />
and can be easily be converted<br />
to a 13-speed to increase vehicle<br />
versatility and resale value at<br />
trade-in time.<br />
The Solo Advantage is a selfadjusting<br />
clutch. It features a<br />
50,000-mile standard lubrication<br />
interval for linehaul applications<br />
to further minimize maintenance<br />
and reduce ownership cost. A<br />
premium patented release bearing<br />
and exclusive vibration control<br />
technology dampers offers first<br />
class performance and ROI.<br />
Both come with industry-leading<br />
warranties (5 years/500,000<br />
miles for transmission* and<br />
3 years/350,000 miles for Solo<br />
Advantage). And, both are backed<br />
by Roadranger support.<br />
