49 YR OLD White FreightLiner Sat for 17Yrs!!! Until Today

In this video edited by my dad. He and I go back to the White Freightliner one last time to see if we could get it to run and move it . this was the most mechanical work we have put in a video. Was it worth the effort?

You, never start a long-dormant Detroit, until you check for stuck injectors!

Wiley! That was awesome! To see that old girl drive out of there with you at the wheel still hauling its trailer and get back to what it’s made to do, that was something special, thank you

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@MrCEO-1]

Yea i doubt its going to go do what its made to do 🤣

[@donnienicholson6062]

And it reminded us of why old Whites were called Freight Shakers.

[@ericgriffin397]

That ol truck needs to be brought back, thank y'all, be safe and God Bless y'all!!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching

[@jamesbrewer-lk8te]

Makes me think of my Dad. He drove White FreightLiner for Chemical Leman tank lines. Glad you got the old girlmoving again.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing

Wiley, I was really impressed while watching you. No matter what age you are, your heart has never grown old. I sincerely congratulate you for preserving your memories without forgetting your past while living your life without breaking away from the values ​​that connect people to life. Bravo to you, no matter what country they are in, people who think and live like you will have a say in the future of the world. Greetings from Turkey.

[@DontbeWily]

Miss those days! Life was better!!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing

[@pupweiller1]

Great work !! Love seeing old trucks move again!

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another great video Wiley and Jacob.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
Wow. You got it running. Good thing to remember to check the racks so the engine will not run away. Also good thing to remember you have what you need to shut the engine off if need be. Just need a few more items at you hand in case you need it.
The old truck runs good. With some TLC it can be fixed up to work again.
Sounds like the owner has it sold which is good. You got it to the point where it can be loaded and hauled away.
Nice job Wiley and Jacob. You got it running and moving. Yeah!!!!!!!!
Nice work.
Thanks for sharing with us.

[@wes11bravo]

I've not driven big rigs but I've got a soft spot in my heart for Detroit Diesels. When I was a young infantryman, I drove an M113A3 that was powered by a 6V53T Detroit and it got that 18 ton beer can moving down the trail faster than I wanted! Love the channel, Wiley - keep it up!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for your service and watching

[@allensharlow7763]

My Dad has a picture standing beside his 1 st Freightliner. ❤ your videos.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for Sharing that

[@user-ro1ct9cc9p]

A good old truck

[@BoormanCrafts]

Props to him for admitting his error, I think he got too excited, wanting to get it to run and overlooked the safety side of things a little. You could see he realized his error, as his panic begin to grow, though it was not a complete run away, you could tell that the engine was going to go for it, very lucky. But props for owning up to the error.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching

[@micahhenry4998]

Awesome save Wiley on it running away there's several different things to do to shut it down when it does that taking a board or a big rag and blocking off the air intake or take the fuel filter lose

[@waltmorelan738]

Don't those Injectors require to be set with a stroke gage I was in the military and every 53 and 71 series required to de set with a stroke / timing tool

[@DontbeWily]

I am not sure

[@DontbeWily]

I did not do a very good job of showing the air collapsing when Jacob held the box over the intake.
I could not get the Emergency stop unstuck.

[@user-wu7sn7ml7v]

Wiley when you pull that cab back up borrow Hanks truck not mine😂😂😂.❤

[@DontbeWily]

[@jamessmith7691]

Спасибо! Получил удовольствие от оживления этого старичка.

[@melvinthompson9635]

Good thing it didn't run away mr wily lol nice easy reach to start it nice job 👍

[@rayploss763]

I'll tell you what you got some balls when you started the motor I thought it was going to blow up that's sick!

Good old Detroit sound to my ears

[@trucker85d47]

That was great that tree was the first load that old girl has hauled in a long time very nice job sir 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@DontbeWily]

Lol. It was like the truck. It did want to move on its in free will

[@RobertGregory-ix6hs]

I knew that you would be able to get it to run 😮

[@buntik1687]

Yet again another great video sir!
Watching from Maine!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you

[@michaelhutter1171]

Super Wiley sehr gut gemacht

[@jeremypilot1015]

That old girl was like, You came to save me! I am coming out. I take the whole hedgerow with me. IDC I've been sitting too long daddy!

[@DontbeWily]

😂. Had lots of anger built up.

[@davep9199]

Thanks for the entertainment. Another interesting video. My heart was racing for you when it ran away. Take care you two.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks and thanks for watching

[@GranpaTruck]

That PB gets expensive so whats ya needs to be doing is having the old fashioned oil cans which Harbor Freight hasand shoot all them linkages with uesed motor oil, new if you got the $$$. It works wonders and if you got a day or two itll free up a bunch of them problems. Glad that one did not getaway from you i was worried for a moment in the beginnigs.

[@DontbeWily]

It is expensive. I will look into doing that

[@user-ry5pw2my2r]

Yes fam

[@maxpuppy96]

Looks like an old Consolidated Freight tractor. Shes a cool old girl.

[@DontbeWily]

I think so too

[@paulfisher6142]

​@@DontbeWily ... With Dayton wheels . . . . ???

[@bobmoroney3643]

Last time I tilted an old Freightline the Clutch pedal linkage snapped. love those old Freightliners.

[@DontbeWily]

Some people give me a little flack about not using WD 40 and using the hammers. What they don’t realize is i used PB blaster several times and hood latches were still stuck. I did mess up by bringing over to far and not setting it back down. I said all that i guess to say this. If you ever have worked on anything much at all it doesn’t go as perfect as you hope it would. Clutch mechanism for you.
Thanks for sharing and watching

[@djstobbe1301]

Lol..good ol detroit will sing like that for awhile before it blows up ❤

[@andrewphillips9123]

She run and revs LOL Not bad for 17 years outside. The motors good but the pump may need an overhaul. That cleaned the cobwebs out of it. You're bringing half the forest with it. I'd love to have that sitting on the front lawn just to piss the neighbours off.

[@DontbeWily]

Lol. 😂.

You ain't going to hurt that old Detroit

[@jeremyk3320]

A buddy of mine tried firing up an old Detroit Diesel that had been sitting for years and started great until about 15 to 20 seconds after when the old engine decided to runaway on him. Needless to say he never drove the truck that day

[@DontbeWily]

I was worried about that myself. I will check the next one

[@wrath231]

God Bless Freightliner

[@bobchamp3159]
