Yes sir they don’t make ‘em like that today 👍

Yeah and way better off having an old one rebuilt 😂👍

Yeah it’s crazy a big engine like that was roughly 450 hp factory of course 😂😂👍

Yeah I’m sure it could go rite back to work 😂👍

I’m sure it would like that 😂👍

Thanks it’s a little rough after 42 years but hopefully we can take care of it 😂👍

Yeah I think it’s gonna be ok 😂👍

@@muddycreekiron1487 Don't need much compression to freewheel.

Yes it is 👍

@@jeffearnest3269 thank you and hopefully the new year will be better for all of us 👍

Gonna keep working on it I think it will work out ok 👍

@@muddycreekiron1487 Looks like you already did!

@@jamesanderson5243 thanks it’s so much nicer when you can get a truck even though rough but 100% complete to start with 👍

@@merlinmonson2133 thanks hopefully when we can get on it it will be really nice 👍

Thanks I’m sure it’ll do the job 😂👍

Thanks for the sub gonna try to keep some videos coming can’t promise how soon though 👍

@muddycreekiron1487 👍👍👍

@@gm16v149 that’s cool you guys got a lot of cool old rides over there wish I could say when we are gonna get started on it we have a 63 needle nose Pete with a 318 Detroit that’s probably gonna get finished first hoping to do a video on it’s progress thanks for watchin and for the sub I gotta say it g-day 😂👍

G'day Tresdale, Haven't seen your gorgeous Cabover on the Monash Freeway for a long time. Love to see your Cabover in person, you are based in Ferntree Gully area. Everyday I see & hear Midway's Concrete 379 Peterbilt with the 3408. Work in Port Melbourne for Dyson's Transport an no matter all the noise on the Westgate when that 3408 Cat is pulling fully loaded in a mini B Double configuration it cuts through all the noise & boy you hear that Cat through all the noise & it sounds absolutely awesome. Cheers Louis Kats 👍

@@gm16v149 do you drive the blue one I've seen on TH-cam?

Wow great to connect to you sir I have watched some of your Video ! Happy new year

@ thanks for watchin hopefully I can make some better videos 😂hope the new year goes well for you also 👍

Yeah especially the e9 Mack’s they have a very distinctive sound us truck guys can here a V8 way off people will say what are you listening for 😂👍

No doubt but you might run outta fuel first 😂👍

Yeah they definitely grow on you 👍

They are a beast I don’t know if it’s a cackle or purring 😂👍

@@muddycreekiron1487 Right - yours doesn't rattle - its probably due to injection pump timing...The further you advance the injection pump timing on a Cat, she starts to have a cackling rattling sound. Prematurely wears out the engine too. Too much advance.

My dad had a truck like this

@@ElvinLeadfootyeah the old 1693 dual overhead cams were the real cacklers 😂👍

@@BrittanySmith-e1tthat’s cool there were a lot at one time 👍

Not positive but I’m guessing it had another fuel filter there a lot of Pete’s had a secondary filter on the frame 👍

Lubra finer oil filter

@@lelandburks323no I don’t think they used lubrifiners after mid to late 70’s

Yeah it’s a little rough but it’s all there just need some love 😂👍

Yep only gets more beautiful with age thanks 😂👍

Not yet did a little more to the white haven’t done any videos on them lately problem is those one are my own those one is company I work for so not as much gets done in mine 😂👍

@muddycreekiron1487 yes I understand time and money I have 4 projects out back to share time and money with. Thanks for the come back have a great new year.

@@dannyodonnell6227thanks and same to you and your projects 👍👍

That’s cool a lot of them were white from that era

There’s still a few around but kinda like seeing an albino deer awesome but not very often 😂👍

That’s cool don’t know if you’ve gone through any my other videos but I did one on a Superliner the boss got on a trade and we have a couple V8’s for it too we’re working on a 63 Pete needle nose with a 318 too problem is there all spare time projects and that’s not much thanks for watchin 👍

@@muddycreekiron1487 I herded a Pete with a 3406B and it was a BULL! Started with a 237 and ended up with R-models and 350 Macks and 12-speeds but drove a tri-axle Liner with an E-9 and a 12-speed. OH it was a thumping monster but I'm partial to all V-8's including Scanias which are kin to 3408's and E-9's, and 318's and 92 doble turbos. Looked at dog butts all my life off and on. Diesel in the veins..

@ I’m a mechanic for this company and when I started 38 years ago we were just starting to get Pete’s had a few 3406b’s but the new ones were 3406c’s but before that they were all Mack’s very similar to your story 237-300 300plus then the four valves now it’s disgusting what rolls in the door 😂👍

@@muddycreekiron1487 I've tried to answer 3 times and it left do all I can do is agree. Blessings!

@@lewiemcneely9143yeah technology isn’t all it’s cracked up to be 😂👍

That’s so cool thanks for sharing it’s a shame how expensive everything is getting nowadays I think their really try to get rid of fun trucks 👍

Thanks for the sub and I’m not exactly sure what we’re doing on it yet but the boss likes things nice so I’m sure it will be cool

Yeah unfortunately now days unless you got a super run their not economical that’s why you mostly see them at truck shows 😂👍

Thanks no other way to say it thanks 👍

Wish I Had the $$$ to Own it.....

@@horsepowerhorsepower3861yeah unfortunately the older they get and fewer around they go up in price 👍

Yeah there’s no better sound for us truck gear heads 😂👍

Yeah definitely and she’s in for some more hopefully 😂👍

That'll be great to see

@ thanks should be pretty cool 👍

Well up till now it has been earning its keep wasn’t many times I went past it and the wagon wasn’t loaded with iron 👍

Yeah guessing he just added a little bling with newer valve covers 😂👍

It would’ve been pretty cool back when diesel was a under a buck cool info on the movie scene thanks 👍

I never was involved with a brake saver but I’ve heard they did a lot of leaking

@@muddycreekiron1487My 3408 has got the Brakesaver. There’s a lot of O rings in the control housing and the big Brakesaver oil cooler but I wouldn’t say they are a problem, just got to replace them when you remove the oil pan when you do a bearing roll. Main thing is not to get the oil too hot, but there’s a seperate Brakesaver temp guage on the dash. Steering wheel attendants used to get them too hot. They were an O/O engine.

@@gm16v149yeah that’s the problem with a lot of these old trucks and equipment many things get left go instead of repairing 👍

I got to take it up the road to our body shop only a couple miles but I wasn’t rite the rest of the day😂😂👍

Thanks these old Pete’s are hard to beat other than maybe Kenworth A model with a 3408 or a KT Cummins 😂👍

That’s cool we had a lead from a Pete salesman that sold a new 359. With a KT in it but haven’t heard anything on it lately

Thanks hopefully we can make it a little nicer 👍

Don’t make them like that anymore 👍

Thanks for the sub hopefully I can keep the videos coming on it

@@traincndr1 thanks man hopefully it will be a lot nicer when we finally get on it 👍

@@richardhaag3959 roughly 50 miles north of Pittsburgh in Portersville pa

@muddycreekiron1487 was just curious I am from Kutztown and I seen the inspection sticker was wondering what part

@@MrDlc1969 I can imagine it would be hard to get out of it 👍

Funny how they derate trucks with over 450hp.!

Cat wouldn't put nothing but 5x4, 6x4.! 😮

@@EdAlbright I would agree More Gears Please I run to a 148,000.gross lbs in Canada so a 18 spd + two speed rear axle is nice ! ☮

@@EdAlbright True the 3408 rated up to 800 Hp in a Dozer so yeah a little pump screw turn woke it up !

@@Fakeplanetbuster I agree 100% 👍👍
