I'm always looking for old classic semi trucks to save and restore. I'm also always looking for trucks or parts Detroit Diesel related. If you have one that needs to be saved or you know of one you can drop me an email at the following address: Ol2Stroker@gmail.com
Be sure to check out our website ol2stroker.com for truck parts and merch!
Just can't get enough of your content Wayne! Always something interesting, I always learn a lot by watching. I'm hoping that you keep the Cat, I would just love to at least see it on the road again. Thanks as always Wayne for taking us along.
The shake weight ad always adds to the joy of any video😂😂
My absolute favorite insert is the shake weight 😂 he should totally rebrand it with an Ol2Stroker sticker 😊
@@traceystealz0318 Hard to imagine the promotor of the shake weight knew there would be so many stupid people in America who would buy that thing?? I am guessing they sold 81 million of them........
The magician with a wrench and an attitude does it once again. That poor little 359 has more holes than a screen door (lol). Looking forward to your next episode.
I really love this truck. It's cool as an eskimos toes. I hope you give her the love she deserves Wayne
Talk to Josh from the channel "Adept Ape" for all your CAT questions.
Really nice guy and knowledgeable.
Pretty sure he wouldn't mind lending you some help if his hands are not too full with life.
He answered a few questions that Jaypaydirt had when converting his ACERT 15 CAT to single turbo.
This is my favorite truck after the video you told us all the history on it. Love cat first and Detroit 2
Hey,never talk yourself down,you're doing glorious things with trucks we could only dream about,cheers from australia 🇦🇺
Thanks man!
Yup agree 💯👍 ... also from 🇭🇲
I would watch you work on a skateboard. You are entertaining and a great mechanic. I was never good at working on everything, just certain things. I know some guys who can work on and fix just about anything. You are in that group. Love your videos.
Thanks man 🤟🤟
'KEEP THE BIG KITTY' Wayno ... Restore it to be the 'TWIN MOSSY FROM ANOTHER MOTHER' 😊
UH OH, getting ready to sell the Cat truck..... A sad day at Ole2stroker
Yea but he has 2 12v71s now, a 16v71 in your future??
@@bigmacmach1185 I would get rid of the ugly cabover and keep the 3 long snouts.....
Old cats , after sitting for decades, just a little bit of maintenance and boom 💥 they go
Awesome truck. Love it. Back in the eighties I drove a GMC General with a 318, 13 speed tri-axle dump. The guys in the quarry would call me the bus driver. 👍
Everytime I see that nice and deep like video I about fall outta my chair lol
Man that's a great truck - just needs a little love...
Wayne, I think it's more like "Austin powers it not my bag baby" vs the body shaper. Haha
Them 3408s rated at 450 I believe but truckers and myself… who also owns one, say it pushes 550 or more horses.
When I got mine started and ran as was before I rebuilt it, it still had some balls.
Those vice grips look like them been on that engine sence WW2...👍👍
Wayne that has to be some kind of a sign. Have a great weekend.👍👍👍
Hay Wayne hope you an family are doing great buddy an the trucks good luck
Hi Wayne from Yorkshire England that cat roars
I've spent more time stroking those Cat primer pumps than I care to admit... 😅
Watching you work on your junk is way better then me working on my junk! Thanks for the awesome videos!
Early Chevy small blocks had a canister oil filter that had a gasket like that one.. Common problem was double gasketing ....
Hi Wayne , you know it runs. If possible I'd like to see you keep it.
Good to see the Cat powered pete running like a champion cheers Wayne
I could hear the difference after fuel pressure was higher. You snapped it and I thought “that sounds like a Cat”, right when you said it was way snappier.
When I first got my 7.3 it seemed doggy. I checked my pissys and and gauge showed 10. Thought no way, this thing wouldn’t run and drive with 10 pissys. Must be bad gauge, because I just replaced fuel pump. New gauge still 10 pissys. Crap. New fuel pump (1997 mechanical). And now 40 pissys. Put a bb in and 60 pissys. Happy…. :)
Yup!! They like more pissies!
I dig the 3408, she's ruff and will take a lot of polishing to rub the wrinkles out of that old turd, but it is a very cool piece.
Wayne you're such a wordsmith and you're so subtle with your feelings toward all your old junk. Lol
Got a whole bunch of real nice rear alloy wheels with like new tires on the back i would let go real chea for you if its helps any of the projects.. located in northern va. They came off a 05 peterbilt 379
Them 3208’s got a low and slow freight train like idle. Love it. And as a former auto/diesel/industrial mechanic, I know your pains. Especially cursing the various engineers of said shit designed things.
I'm winning that care package!
This is my favorite truck of all your trucks. It wants to be kept Wayne 😂
This is by far my favorite channel. Wayneo be having me😂😂😂
“Ain’t nothin like a CATERPILLAR engine”
“Junior, he’s pushing me up the damn hill”
@@gavinpennington407 (fires right up)
“Just fuckin loyal”
@@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03 didn’t even need a shot of the Cosby sauce
@@gavinpennington407 just fuel system issues and priming some go go juice and she fired right up
Especially after sitting so long and firing right up that’s just fuckin loyal
@@gavinpennington407 I own a 3408 in my ‘79 A model K whop. If it sits for a while I’ll prime it a little especially when it’s colder outside just for badassery I like to put the boot down all the way on the fuel pedal let her suck that juice and roll coal it redlines… maybe for like 3 seconds then I let it idle and she sounds mint
Feel like the boss when you do a buncha prep work and we show up at test start time!
When ever you make that truck scream & you make that comment how dare you has me in tears ever time bro
5 psi minimum fuel pressure to start and 33+/-5psi at full load according to the Cat manual for an 834B rubber tire dozer I have at work that runs a 3408.
That’s awesome Wayne
Yeah, no water in that oil! That was nearly a disaster.
love this sh@t... keep on doing and learning the best way that works for you. love the attitude also. thats why im still here!!
Watching your videos and a few others on here gave me the confidence to guy buy a 81 k100 that had been setting for 13 years. Iam a mechanic but on ag equipment and I’ve never done anything to a truck. Got her to the shop tonight and got it fired up. It’s awesome. Thanks.
What motor?
That ole cat sounds good
Back in her day that Pete would go down the road letting the lions loose.
Man I was cringing as you were backing out that drain plug to check for water and then I couldn’t believe it when you almost lost it…reminded me of my first time changing oil on a C15, had the drain pan all lined up but the oil came sideways all over me…
Friggen hate it when that happens!
Wayno don't get rid of this cat v8 brother love the content
Watching from Mainz Germany this a.m. 4:15 your time
Awesome 👍😁 hope you enjoyed!
BACK IN THE DAY THE SAYING WAS NEVER LATE WITH A O8!!!!
I like how angry he gets, lol! Great content, thanks!!
Lol that's nothin
😂
The old Kitty sounds good, Wayne. That’s going to be a nice truck one day. Thanks for the videos.
Those hand priming pumps can cause issues as well. Had the one on my 3406B have a check valve come loose in the bore and restrict the fuel, and even shut it off. Guess it's a thing. They can also get restricted if they get crap in them. Don't know if that's part of your problem, but it was for me.
New video Friday! WHAT A SAVAGE! Beautiful truck.
Just gotta say bud, ain't never ever been a battle ship that color, ever! Cheers!
Truth
Ahhhĥ a sweet sound of a big cat that wants to purrrr!!! Hence that truck should been named the asphalt panther
Absolutely love the content bro!!! Keep the videos coming!
Was a Cool looking Pete 359 semi truck back in the days.
If I was seeing it right it looks similar to a thing I bought (but never used) that’s supposed to be a damper to keep the fuel pressure gauge from fluttering. I probably won’t use the one I’ve got if that’s what it is and you need one.
I really enjoyed your videos you are one damn good mechanic i Watch you all the time I just don’t comment much but I will now keep up the hard work my friend be safe
You know what else was ignorant with those Pete conventionals with the V8 Cats? The mechanical tack drive seals would let go and you would be going down the road (esp in the winter), and the cab would be reeking of hot diesel fumes right at the beginning of your must delivery trip on Sunday night. Ask me how I know, 10-4? In all seriousness, they are a reliable engine, except for the way they offset cut the crank so they could make the block narrow enough to fit between truck frame rails. Shes going to be a good mate to the v12 CO. Bill
YES! I hate those fricken buzzer's!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 2005 Freightliner Century brake buzzer goes off when I touch my clutch and the brakes are not released yet. Drives me nuts...
Truck surely has the look, even though it doesn't have the same heartbeat of the rest of the fleet maybe you should continue fixing it 😊cant wait for everyone to see how well the seat mount came out ❤
Shame you aint going get to drive it if you let her go i bet shes a beaut ! It would be sweet to full original kit it .Being as good as it is . Listen to that gem .
Is he selling it?
@@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248 last weeks vid im sure he mentioned it .Or community post ?
@@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248 yes
@@mintyman1968sup bub? You gonna buy it
Let's all lean on Wayne to hang on to the big kitty ... he'll fall in love with it if he does ... 'KEEP THE BIG KITTY' ... Restore it to be a twin for Mossy 👍
I would love to have that project! Lol
That toadstool looking thing is a fuel damper, normal fuel psi is 30 at idle no more than 45 at hi idle
Great truck and work, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
Man, I’d definitely drive that truck!
Even though i,m a Cummins man,would love to own this beauty.
Was hoping to see you start digging in on the Cat stuff as well as the Detroit. This is a fantastic truck actually. Love it. Such a hot rod :-)) Dash buzzers though eh? Like ten sets of fingernails down a chalk board. Those old cat motors are good for the first key growl up like this one did this time. That's such a cool Engine as well. :-)😎👍👍 the rubber in the fuel line primer gets all disolved and or hard and turns into a big old skid mark after a while [won't work when it gets like that, nope] lol I could listen to you cus this old gear out forever lmao Also, the episodes when you get both you and Mr. Bacon just painting the walls with the cuss outs... love that. Hey, ever going to do a walk around of his painted rig now that it's been to the shows and all? Love to see this long nose rig painted up as well. Such a cool rig. Bog hole the back of the cab and drop in a bigass sleeper just for the hell of it lol Be sweet! Daycab company the leather diamond tuck job it!
Great video Wayne
Those 3408 are great engines and are still in demand these days because of it. That would be a bad ass truck fixed up that's for sure
It needs another turbo!! Twin turbo 3408, what a beast it would be
3408 content I’ve been waiting and asking all the cat guys and the Detroit guy answered wow
Funny how that works lol
Great video Wayne really enjoy watching you work on the 359 fuel system. With the right fuel pressure sounds good and pretty snappy. Thanks for sharing stay safe Wayne.
Wayne I will follow you in to battle sir you are out leader
Well if the damn govt keeps pissing in the working mans Cheerios you just might get your wish. Lol 🤟🤟
The draft effect?? Is that what its called when you put something under vacuum and then suddenly uncap the system and air rushes in? Some sh!t like that. A few coolant evac/fill systems I've used utilize that method to get everything out of all the little pockets of a coolant system. Seems like it works pretty welll on fuel systems to eh Wayne-O?! lol
Alright.. bout time get er restored. 😁
Thanks for the show Wayne
Love this rig damm she's a beaut!!! Only 30 view's wtf!!!! Wish i could come clean it for you I'd love to help make her pretty agin...
Please keep this one around and get it back on the road. Nothing like the sound of a 3408, and there’s a serious lack of 3408 content on YT.
Get of my lawn lol great video dang kitty is being greasy
That thing is a buffer that you can run without. 40 is max on the fuel pressure anymore and it will bleed fuel past the seals and into the crankcase.
Buffer is correct. The diaphragm must be torn. It supposed to smooth out the pulsation from the gear pump.
Some time the had primer can go bad will not build pressure up
Why don't you put the Detroit engine you've rescued in last video in this beauty? would be a nice transplant.
Numbers matching Wayne could never do that 😂😂😂
Awesome video brother Just wondering if this truck is for sale
That things sounds so angry and distinct.
I love your videos and very knowledgeable, I just curious and you mite of answered my question in an old video that I’ve not seen but do you or use to truck for a living or is it just a hobby not being disrespectful just curious
Naw these trucks are just hobbies for me brother
@@Ol2Stroker the way you drive one and troubleshoot problems with one just reminds me of a kid around my dad and grandpa and myself now definitely old souls that ain’t around much anymore thanks for the reply
@@brandonjenkins1794 thanks man 🤟🤟
Thank god the low air buzzer doesn’t work in mine 😂 damn that thing is annoying!
Hi wayne second best sounding v8 after your mossy broke great to see it running . Cheers mate🇦🇺
it's sad yer want tae sell that thing, I was looking forward tae see content on that Truck,
ye NEVER see content on 3408's anywhere.
Esp. one that looks that good, no heaverin that's my favorite truck.
Nevermind all the much needed maintenance, when’s the pump gonna be turned way up so we can see the girl lift a wheel loaded 😂
I know you're a detroit guy but one cat in the family would be cool. I think she should stay and get prettied up!
Nice, I might be getting some sort of triple nickel with a 653 Allison if it goes cheap enough.
love your videos ,
entertaining to watch and learn
I would be interested in this truck if you are thinking of parting with it!
when you pulled your hand held vacuum pump when priming the filter on the frame and sounds like it sucked fuel back to the tank the sound you dont want hear like you said, i wonder if the fuel tanks breath freely if not its just creating vacuum in the tank and takes fuel pressure away and any small leak its more hand priming at start up
Good thought I will check the vent.
Also my stbd side 3512 in my tug runs regularly at 12psi fuel pressure 😂
Money will make a man do funny things.
Love to have that old junk Peterbilt 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
& its really sadd to watch those old dinasors die & go to there & u can't help her live then please find someone that can...
When im doing that kinda shit.. think i have fuel issues.. ill bypass all shit. Make sure runs good. Then work way back..lines. filters and all.. those old filter housing like that r and have always beena nightmare.. why most people change shit out..
Yup 💯💯
Well would you look at that!
Install a electric pump at the tank and that will show any leaks ?
