Welcome to the WonderingWill channel.
I am a mechanic with a wide and varied interest in vehicles of all shapes and sizes. To put it simply if it's old I will most likely find it interesting!
I also have in interest in the Alps, in particular the French and Swiss Alps so please don't be surprised if you see one or two videos of Switzerland pop up on occasion.

This looks like my kind of day out! Can you also skip gears with this gearbox?
@@klocknerdeutz hello, thanks it was a great day. Yes you can if you press the ‘control’ button on the front of the gear change. That will then allow you to block change two gears going up the box so long as your above a certain rpm. Coming down the box you can either use the control button or just knock the box into neutral then knock it forward and the computer with select what it thinks is an appropriate gear (ideal for roundabouts). I might make a short video to show how it works.
Is It possible to do a V10 swap from the NG into these SK trucks?
@@abdulmuqsit3858 I dare say it probably is possible, though I’ve never done it myself.
@@WonderingWill87 Noted😊
nice to see the eps gearbox working well . ive found some cab mounts that will fit your motor if your intrested foc of course
EPS was a great gearbox , 16 fwd , 2 rev and 52 neutrals 🤙
Damn sight better truck than the new Mercs , wouldn’t be huffed if I had to drive it every day 🤙
@@alexrobinson2281 I must admit I did find that coming from a twin splitter ERF. I had to learn to slow down on the gear changes 😂
@@alexrobinson2281 only got neutral if you tryd to rush the change
@@alexrobinson2281 i stopped buying merc trucks after the sk range was stoped
i drove an 1834 with the v6 engine and 1838 with the v8 engine great trucks very reliable
Always a good looking cab - I seem to remember it was designed to appear less 'threatening' to other road users.
@@robertp.wainman4094 It certainly has that classic look to it. Yes I had read that too before, I think it may have started with the lp series
Nice wee bike, well done in getting her back on the road
@@doconwheels-c5m thank you, she is a lovely little bike
Moto avanden?
when I started working in lorry service, the company was just switching from the SK model to the Actros, the jump was big but I remember that the drivers liked this model
@@chrisdabrowski I remember when the firm my Grandad worked for did the same. I did like the first Actros, though my Grandad never did drive one, he stuck with his SK.
@@WonderingWill87 the first actros models were called “Robur” 😜 (east Germany brand popular in the eastern bloc, also in Poland)……
great vid i lovedmy old sk s 2248s the cab was to small but that v8 engine would run for ever
@@stugill4513 Thank you, I must admit one of my first thoughts when I finally got an SK of my own in my adult years after spending my childhood with my grandad in his was “I don’t remember them being this small” 😄
Love these truck maintenance Vids. My Dad drove an H reg Powerliner 2 6 wheel unit early 1990s. Used to go out with him in it.
@@airindiana thank you, My grandad used to drive these starting with a 1418 in the 70’s and ending up with a 2534 in the 90’s
love these babies best truck mercedes benz built simple ,reliable and tough the only electronics are lights ,alternator and fuses
