Love seeing Sterlings on the road today. Wish there were more. They are nice trucks
That was very interesting.
Very well researched and well spoken.
Sterling is now freightliner, westernstar.
Thanks for the story.
I’ve always loved sterling. It’s one of the few trucks that you either completely love, or hate with every bone in your body. Personally I think of them as the little ugly duckling. I also think it would be extremely interesting to see what they would have done these days with their styling if they were still around.
Sterling door straps 🤬🤬🤬
I liked the Sterling I drove, Nice driving and smooth ride for a heavy duty truck nice looking and comfy interior.
I knew a gentleman when I was a kid who made his living driving his Sterling. This was in the late 50’s. Power was by a propane powered Hall Scott engine. What a truck.
The CDL school I went to had a sterling truck in their training grounds. It had cat c-10. I remember I played around with the jake brake so much cause of how good it sounded. It even had a Jacobs engine brake plate on it.
Very very beautiful trucks and good useful wonderful I love 💘 it
Sterlings are like a Peterbilt in my company it’s only for newer guys who started but I honestly prefer it than a cascadia but the clutch on it, it’s leg day in the city
Me encanta los camiones Sterling se agregara a Auradon Saludos desde mi Scania Streamline desde USA
Keep up the good work!
There was also the Mitsubishi cab over that was badged as a Sterling much like the Dodge pickup.
P.S., When Freight- liner purchased the Ford heavy lineup of trucks,the old Louis- ville line had already been restyled.The sweeper truck that someone had ment- ioned , was the Ford Cargo.The cab was a replacement for the old C series city tilt.The truck used a cab made by the French truck maker Berliet( bur lee aye).
A lot of the oil and gas service companies in my area bought the newer Sterling’s, and got good service out of them. The only complaint that I heard about them is, they must have switched the type of plastic that used for the interior trim pieces, and dash. We had an old Ford L9000, that was 35 years old, and the interior was perfect, the Sterling’s all had a broken dash, and or door panels.
So did USF Holland
You missed the little cabover that the street sweeper market loved. I've forgotten the model name, but I remember that it was going to be phased out, but the street sweeper manufacturers kept putting large orders in.
The cabover that i see street sweepers use in my town are made by Isuzu. Those Isuzus are also used as short haulers.
White bought Sterling, with the intentions of having a heavy chassis line, to compete with Mack & Autocar, then White bought out Autocar (Then eliminating Sterling, because Autocar was more profitable to manufacture)
Remember.....if your truck don’t shine, you’re probably using it to work. No time for knob polishers.
I hated my sterling. 2006 sterling day cab with a Detroit 60 and a 10 speed. Loud, and the footwell was tiny. No radio but it had heat and AC.
I drive for Holland,drove Sterling's for years, the dash on the passenger side always came apart and very rough riding
I drove a Sterling mixer for a year it was a great truck plenty of room in every area, rode great. I out paced our Paystars on rough roads and the C-12 Cat with an 8LL Eaton Fuller pulled even the toughest hills in the area we served no problem I never dropped below 5th gear at 76,000 pounds GVW. One of the toughest yet smoothest riding trucks out there.
Still waiting for Hayes and Pacific truck reviews.
My 2009 Sterling LNG Truck still running strong
Ye I gotta acterra rollback
Actually I did know all 10...I drove a Sterling in 2017, loved the truck hated that it was a mixer. Cat powered with an Eaton Fuller, one of the best trucks I've driven.
Its weird to know that daycab ones have some jackbreaking sounds to the engine and I also heard the word cabforwarded from a locomotive from the SP aka southern Pacific railroad which its cab is faced back word and it's a steam locomotive but it dose not run on coal it ran on oil
As someone who drove and worked on 'em,I can say Sterlings were more bad than good.Serious rusters,lots of aluminum corrosion,many electrical problems,plastic dashes fell apart,and the list goes on and on.On the plus side,the wiper linkage,which failed regularly,was easy to change,as was the heater core.And Freightliner warranty work generally sucked,as they didn't want to work on 'em either.
Sterlings work good in the city
Sterling is just that one truck brand you just completely forget it even exists. I think the reason why goes hand in hand to the point being made that it missed the spotlight era of trucking.
FORDLING.... haha
Can you please help me figure out how to flip my cabover on a 99/00 sc7000
Other than sharing a name, the modern Sterling/Daimler/Ford had nothing to do with the old Sterling, White-Sterling. I think the only connection was irony. White bought Sterling's business with the intention of shutting it down. Daimler did the same with Ford's truck business--bought it with the intention of shutting it down. At least, contrary to popular stereotype, the Germans do have a sense of humor.
The new Sterling trucks had nothing in common w/ the old Sterling or the Sterling-White brand The video did not mention that Sterling made a tilt cab w/ backward tilt. The company used chain drive for longest time.Donner estates which held most of Sterling's stock, sold out to White Motor Corp. There was a crane carrier chassis also. The Sterling-White truck brand was dis- continued after the Autocar truck was purchased. It was a bigger seller with a new cab that White needed.
hey guys, the "logan" channel is a bot channel hes not a real person he spams channels, he always does it to me, and nice vid btw!
edit: so is the grey "music" channel
Flett truck at 3:26 still on the road and goes to shows
Cool.
I have 4 1940s sterlings, 2 1942s, 1 1945, and 1 1948.
My special and favorite trucks children remember rc first truck.......
All the answers to questions you didn't know you had!!!
Any plans to do a video on Pierce Fire Trucks?
Can anyone assist me with locating the brake light switch on my 2003 Sterling LT9500 Dump Truck? The truck has a Cat C12 engine.
Seriously? Light switch is left of the steering wheel just above your knee...like most Ford vehicles
So that Detroit diesel video...
Sterling-White, like GMC-White?
Europeam trucks "Magirius Deutz" history.
We will be doing truck history episodes on all European manufacturers soon.
@@jackschromeshop8296 👍
Never really cared for the rebadged ford's and dodges. Just here for the history. 👍 I drove a 2000 Sterling with a small cat and a 6 speed allison auto while attempting to get my cdl at the time. That truck was slug and a turd. Lol
1-5 Probably good decades of Sterling truck brand bad after late 90s their not reliable most are either burn powertrain or interior electrical problems.
My uncle worked for ABF and said Sterling's were junk!
White Motor Co. ruined some classic truck brands once they took ownership and mismanaged them. Sterling, Autocar, Diamond T, and REO, all much better quality trucks than anything White ever put out.
Didn't White also take over GMC and Chevy heavy duty trucks and then phase them out?
Oliver farm tractors were taken over by White and never returned.
conway freight drove the crap out of them
Every Sterling I've seen, the dash was laying in the floor. Is that standard or optional? I'll never know cause THAT is why I will never own one.
I wasted my time watching this since I already knew all the things
