Builder (Final Stage Manufacturer) will be doing addi-tional modifications means that the vehicle was incom-plete when it left the build plant.

Incomplete Vehicle Certification

An Incomplete Vehicle Document is shipped with thevehicle, certifying that the vehicle is not complete (seefigure below). In addition, affixed to the driver’s sidedoor frame or edge is an Incomplete Vehicle Certifica-tion label.

NOTE: These documents list the FMVSS (orCMVSS) regulations that the vehicle compliedwith when it left the build plant. You should beaware that if you modify or alter any of thecomponents or systems covered by theseFMVSS (or CMVSS) regulations, it is yourresponsibility as the Final Stage Manufacturer toensure that the complete vehicle maintainscompliance with the particular FMVSS (orCMVSS) regulations when you complete yourmodifications.

As the Final Stage Manufacturer, you should retain theIncomplete Vehicle Document for your records. In addi-tion, you should record and retain the manufacturer andserial number of the tires on the vehicle. Upon comple-tion of the vehicle (installation of the body and any othermodifications), you should affix your certification labelto the vehicle as required by Federal law. This tag iden-tifies you as the “Final Stage Manufacturer” and certi-fies that the vehicle complies with Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standards.

Figure 2-1. Incomplete Vehicle Certification Document

NOTE: This truck may be equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) muffler unit in order to meet both noise and exhaust emissions require-ments. Removal or tampering with the DPF muffler will not improve engine performance. Also tampering with the exhaust system is against the rules that are established by the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations and Environment Canada Regulations. The DPF muffler may only be replaced with an approved part.

NOTE: 2007/10 emissions engines are integratedwith particulate filters for 2007/10 EPA certification.The particulate filter assembly may consist of oneor more of the following components: a dieseloxidation catalyst, a diesel particulate filter,temperature sensors, differential pressure sensor,and exhaust silencing components integratedinto a modular housing. Body Builders must notmodify or relocate this assembly or any compon-ents associated with it. It is also the case thatthere should not be any modifications made to theexhaust piping from turbo outlet to aftertreatmentinlet.

TABLE 3-1. Turning Radius

TURNING RADIUS

The curb-to-curb turning radius is the minimum radiusthe outermost portion of the outboard front tire wouldfollow in a turn.

The wall-to-wall turning radius is the minimum radiusthe outermost tip of the front bumper would follow in aturn.

Both the curb-to-curb and wall-to-wall turning radiusdepend on the wheelbase, front axle, front tire andwheel sizes, and many other factors. Approximate turn-ing radius figures are listed in Table 3-1. Optionalcomponents may result in different figures.

The figures in Table 3-1 are based on the following

• Eaton Spicer E1002I and E1202I front axles• TRW TAS 65 steering gear• PHP-10 iron hubs/cast drums• Bridgestone R250F295/75R22.5 14-ply front

tires• Accuride 28408E 22.5 x 8.25 steel front wheels• No FEPTO• Without tandem drive

To obtain the turning circle diameter, multiply theradius by 2.

CRITICAL CLEARANCES

Rear Wheels and Cab

CAUTION: Insufficient clearance betweenrear tires and body structure could causedamage to the body during suspensionmovement. Allow at least 8 inches clear-ance (See Figure 4-1.)

Figure 4-2. Minimum Back–of–Cab Clearance.

8 in.(203 mm)

The true distance from the centerline of the front axle tothe back of the cab is 69.8 inches (1773 mm). It is rec-ommended that the leading edge of the body bemounted 4 inches (102 mm) behind the cab. The resultis a minimum dimension of 73.8 inches (1875 mm) fromthe front axle to the leading edge of the body.

NOTE: The distance from the back of cab tothe front of the body may vary depending onthe location of vehicle components. See SEC-TION 3 “DIMENSIONS” for further details ondimensions and clearances.

Figure 4-1. Minimum Clearance Between Top of RearTires and Body Structure Overhang.

CAUTION: Maintain adequate clearancebetween back of cab and the front (leadingedge) of mounted body. See Figure 4-2.

NOTE: Be sure to provide maintenanceaccess to battery box and fuel tank fill neck.

Normal suspension movement could cause contact between the tires and the body. To prevent this, mount the body so that the minimum clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the body is 8 inches (203 mm). This should be measured with the body empty. See Figure 4-1.

BODY MOUNTING USINGBRACKETS

CAUTION: Always install a spacer betweenthe body subframe and the top flange ofthe frame rail.

Installation of a spacer between the body subframe andthe top flange of the frame rail will help prevent prema-

Another possibility is mounting a rubber spacerbetween the brackets. See Figure 4-5. These designswill allow relative movement between the body and thechassis during extreme frame racking situations.Mountings that are too rigid could cause damage to thebody. This is particularly true with tanker installations.

4 BODY MOUNTING

Frame Drilling

WARNING! When mounting a body to thechassis, DO NOT drill holes in the upper orlower flange of the frame rail. If the framerail flanges are modified or damaged, therail could fail prematurely and cause anaccident. Mount the body using bodymounting brackets or U–bolts.

WARNING! Do not drill new holes anycloser than 2 inches (50mm) to existingholes. Frame drilling affects the strength ofthe rails. If the holes are too close together,the rail could fail prematurely and cause anaccident. See Figure 4-6.

Hole Location Guidelines

Holes must be located at least two inches (50 mm) fromthe flange as indicated in Figure 4-6. They must be nocloser than 2 inches (50mm) to each other.

NOTE: If your design permits placement ofbody mounting brackets at crossmember loca-tions, you can use the crossmember gussetbolt holes for body mounting. See Figure 4-7.

CAUTION: Use care when drilling theframe web so the wires and air lines routedinside the rail are not damaged.

BODY MOUNTING USING U–BOLTS

Spacers

inspect the installation to ensure adequate clear-ances for air brake lines, fuel lines, and wiring. SeeFigure 4-9.

If the body is mounted to the frame with U–bolts, use ahardwood sill (minimum 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) thick)between the frame rail and body frame to protect thetop surface of the rail flange.

WARNING! Do not allow the frame rails orflanges to deform when tightening theU–bolts. It will weaken the frame and couldcause an accident. Use suitable spacersmade of steel or hardwood on the inside ofthe frame rail to prevent collapse of theframe flanges.

• Use a hardwood spacer between the bottomflange and the U–bolt to prevent the U–boltfrom notching the frame flange. See Figure 4-8.

Figure 4-9. Clearance Space for Air Lines and Cables.

WARNING! Do not notch frame rail flangesto force a U–bolt fit. Notched or damagedframe flanges could result in prematureframe failure. Use a larger size U–bolt.

INTRODUCTION

There are several standard wheelbase choices forsingle and tandem rear axles. In addition, customer-specified wheelbases are available. So, in most casesframe modifications to produce a certain wheelbaseshould not be necessary.

However, some installations may require slight modifi-cations, while other installations will require extensivemodifications. Sometimes an existing dealer stockchassis may need to have the wheelbase changed tobetter fit a customer’s application. The modificationsmay be as simple as shortening or lengthening theframe overhang, or they may be as complex as chang-ing the wheelbase.

DRILLING RAILS

Location and Hole Pattern

If holes need to be drilled to attach anything to the rail,see SECTION 4 “BODY MOUNTING” for more informa-tion. Follow the general spacing and hole locationguidelines on Page 4–2, Figure 4-6.

WARNING! When mounting a body to thechassis, DO NOT drill holes in the upper orlower flange of the frame rail. If the framerail flanges are modified or damaged, therail could fail prematurely and cause anaccident. Mount the body using bodymounting brackets or U–bolts.

WARNING! Do not drill new holes anycloser than 2 inches (50mm) to existingholes. Frame drilling affects the strength ofthe rails. If the holes are too close together,the rail could fail prematurely and cause anaccident.

CAUTION: Use care when drilling theframe web so the wires and air lines routedinside the rail are not damaged.

• Never use a torch to make a hole in the rail. Usethe appropriate diameter drill bit.

Hole pattern dimensions for crossmember designs areillustrated on Page 4-3, Figure 4-7.

Hole diameter should not exceed the bolt diameter bymore than .060 inches (1.5 mm).

MODIFYING FRAME LENGTH

The frame overhang after the rear axle can be short-ened to match a particular body length. Using a torch isacceptable; however, heat from a torch will affect thematerial characteristics of the frame rail. The affectedmaterial will normally be confined to within 1 to 2 inches(25 to 50mm) of the flame cut and may not adverselyaffect the strength of the chassis or body installation.

The frame overhang on the 10.5-inch rail can be length-ened by adding frame extenders.

When extending the 10.5-inch rails, the additional sec-tions can typically be welded to the existing rails. Thejoint should be welded and reinforced as illustrated inFigure 5-1.

NOTE: See page 5–4 for more information onwelding frames.

Frame Insert

A frame insert must be added after welding a 10.5-inchframe rail to compensate for lost strength. The insertshould be of the same material as the frame memberand at least equal to the frame rail in thickness.

Where possible, use existing bolt holes to attach theinsert to the frame. Bolt holes must not be located

If the insert is placed in a section of the main framewhere few bolts are located, additional bolts arerequired. Use the following guideline for locating addi-tional bolt holes.

Changing Wheelbase

We do not recommend modifying the wheelbase. Occa-sionally, however, a chassis wheelbase will need to beshortened or lengthened. Before this is done there area few guidelines that should to be considered.

WARNING! When changing the wheelbase,be sure to follow the driveline manufac-turer’s recommendations for drivelinelength or angle changes. Incorrectly modi-fied drivelines can fail prematurely due toexcessive vibration. This can cause anaccident and severe personal injury.

Before changing the wheelbase the driveline angles ofthe proposed wheelbase need to be examined toensure that no harmful vibrations are created. Consultthe driveline manufacturer for appropriate recommen-dations.

WARNING! Do not drill new holes anycloser than 2 inches (50mm) to existingholes. Frame drilling affects the strength ofthe rails. If the holes are too close together,the rail could fail prematurely and cause anaccident.

Before the rear suspension is relocated, check the newlocation of the spring hanger brackets. The new holesfor the spring hanger brackets must not overlap existingholes and should not come any closer than 2 inches(50mm) to existing holes in the frame.

WARNING! When relocating a suspensionbracket, do not mount it on the extended(added) section of a frame rail. The sus-pension loading could result in prematurefailure of the added section splice. Thiscould cause an accident. Use care whenplanning the wheelbase so that the rearsuspension bracket is always mounted onthe original rail section. See Figure 5-3.

If you are lengthening the wheelbase, you may alsohave to extend the frame length to accommodate abody. When you reposition the rear suspension springhangers, do not mount them on the added extendedportion of the rail. The relocated rear suspensionbracket should be located on the original frame rails

When shortening the wheelbase, we recommend thatthe suspension be moved forward and relocated on theoriginal rail. The rail behind the suspension can then becut to achieve the desired frame overhang.See Figure 5-3.

Before the rear suspension is relocated, check the newlocation of the spring hanger brackets. The new holesfor the spring hanger brackets must not overlap existingholes and should not come any closer than 2 inches(50mm) to existing holes.

INTRODUCTION

Peterbilt offers several options to provide power andelectrical connections between the chassis electricalsystem and the electrical components on the body.These options include:

• a junction box to provide power and ground forbody lights

• an engine harness to install a remote PTO control

• a third battery to provide power for lift gates andother high-amperage electrical devices

By specifying these options, the body can often beinstalled in less time and with fewer possibilities ofmaintenance problems.

NOTE: These options should be specified atthe time the truck is ordered to ensure properinstallation. Consult the current pricebook forappropriate option codes, prices, andrestrictions.

BODY LIGHTS JUNCTION BOX

The body lights junction box option provides a wiringharness from the firewall to a junction box located at theback of cab. The box is strapped to the back-of-cab- orintermediate-crossmember for shipping and is designedto be permanently mounted by the body builder.

The harness is sufficiently long to allow a certain flexi-bility in installation. It provides power and ground cir-cuits for clearance lights, marker lights, brake lights,and rear turn signals.

WARNING! This option is intended forlighting circuits only. It is not intended toprovide power to any other electrical com-ponent. Using a circuit for any other pur-pose may result in an electrical overload,which could cause a fire.

The circuits terminate with ring terminals in the junctionbox. See Figure 6-1 for circuit identification.

NOTE: This option does not include thecables or circuit breakers required to connectthe batteries to the auxiliary electrical devices.

This option is required when auxiliary high-amperageelectrical devices such as electric winches, lift gates,and electromechanical sirens are to be installed by thebody builder.

WARNING! Follow the manufacturer’sinstallation instructions when installinghigh-amperage electrical devices such aselectric winches, lift gates, and electrome-chanical sirens. Failure to properly installthese devices could result in an electricaloverload and fire.

ENGINE CONNECTIONS

Electronic engines have the ability to send and receivecontrol and warning signals from other components onthe chassis and body. Consult the appropriate enginemanufacturer’s application or body builder manualsbefore making connections to the engine electroniccontrol unit (ECU) or to other electronic enginecomponents.

HYBRID UTILITY APPLICATION

EPTO Functionality

In order to make the EPTO functional on the Hybrid Utility Application trucks, the Body Builder must install a J1939 compatible Body controller capable of transmitting the CAN AuxIO messages listed on the EPTO installation require-ments section of the Eaton Installation Guide TRIG1000 to the Hybrid Control Module (HCM).

TRIG1000 also provides an engagement flowchart of the EPTO requirements.

EPTO Connection

Locate connector labeled “J5-EPTO” on the hybrid power train harness attached and zip tied at the bottom of the trans-mission (see Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3).

This connector provides two signals coming from the HCM on the transmission to the body builder interconnection and receives a PTO engaged confirmation signal from the body builder to the HCM.• Terminal B: provides a negative signal (GND) intended

for the EPTO solenoid.• Terminal C: provides a positive signal (12 VDC)

intended for the EPTO solenoid.• Terminal A: provides the PTO status analog signal to

the HCM under EPTO operation.

As the final stage manufacturer of a vehicle, the body builder is responsible for ensuring and certifying that the weight distribution of the completed truck with the body and intended payload does not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for each axle. To help the body builder in that process, Peterbilt can supply the GAWR for each axle based on the published ratings of the tires, wheels, axles, and suspensions. Peterbilt can also supply the distributed weight of the bare chassis on the front and rear axles.

NOTE: The distributed weight should be requested at the time the vehicle is ordered. It can be automatically calculated as part of the electronic ordering process.

The body builder is responsible for designing and installing the body such that the weight distribution of the bare chassis, body, and intended payload does not exceed the GAWR for each axle. Each body builder needs to develop a system for calculating weight distri-bution. This would include tabulation of the weight and location of every body component, as well as an under-standing of the weights and locations (point load versus distributed load) of various payloads. See Table B-1. for the weights of various common payloads.

WARNING! Incorrect calculation of the weight distribution on the front and rear axles may result in poor vehicle perfor-mance, component failure, or loss of vehicle control with the resulting possi-bility of serious personal injury or death.

APPENDIX C ROUTING

Electrical wiring can sometimes be very frustrating. This isespecially true when adding circuits to an existing setup.Through the use of a optional body harness and additionalspare circuits, we have tried to reduce the complexity asso-ciated with adding common circuits to a body installation.

Note: The most common circuits that body build-ers may need are pre-connected to this optionalwiring harness.

The new body related circuits can be added by connectingthe added circuit wires to the appropriate wires in thisharness.

WARNING! Do not install an electrical circuit thatrequires more amperage (electrical capacity) thanwhat is available in the specific chassis circuit. Anoverloaded circuit could cause a fire. Comparethe amperage requirements of the new circuit to

When adding an electrical circuit, you must know the currentcapacity (amperes) of each circuit.

The capacity of the existing system in the chassis must beenough to power the additional circuit. The new circuit willrequire a certain amount of power to operate; so, the existing(battery or alternator) power source must have the capacityto provide additional power or the new circuit will not functionproperly.

Check the current (ampere) demand of the circuit to beadded. Compare it to the current capacity of the circuit youare connecting into. The current carrying capacity of thewires, controls, switches, and circuit breakers that provide

ROUTING

This section specifies the general requirements for secur-ing hoses and electrical wires to present an orderlyappearance; facilitate inspection and maintenance; and toprevent potential damage to these lines.

Definitions

Bundle: Two or more air, electrical, fuel, or other lines tiedtogether to form a unitized assembly.

Clamp: A cushioned rigid or semi-rigid, anti-chafing devicefor containing the bundle and securing it to the frame orother structural support. Standard clamps have a blackelastomer lining. High temperature clamps (e.g., thoseused with compressor discharge hose) have a white or redelastomer lining (most applications for these are called outin the bills of material). An assembly of two clamps fastenedtogether to separate components is referred to as a“butterfly” clamp. Note: the metal portion of clamps shall bestainless steel or otherwise made capable, through platingor other means, of passing a 200 hour salt spray test perASTM B117 without rusting.
