      Not big deal with injection pumps. Biggest problems are governor fly weights they wear and also timing advance fly wheels. Weights are always moving in and out against thrust plate they wear into it. Hanging idle, not smooth rpm or wear very badly and engine can run away. Mechanical engine kept shops busy about every 2 yrs you where in there replacing them. Or like many never fix them and engine runs poorly or runs away (BOOM engine goes)

    I was a 24 year old kid who grew up mostly in Alabama, who loved to drive a truck. 1986 I picked up a load of air freight at Dulles, straight to South San Francisco airport. I had a backhaul in Compton to load the next day, so I had plenty of time to get there. Old Freightliner with the huge hood, faded grey paint , broke passenger vent window, the steering pulled really hard every time you went past a junkyard. I tooling down i 5, just past the Taft exit when that fuel advance self destructed. It didn't break the front cover of the engine (which was not unusual),but Inland Kenworth couldn't locate the problem until they had charged over 6k in labor, dissembling and testing. I stayed in Bakersfield over 3 weeks ! I still love to drive a truck! Full time local. Thanks for the video! Good memories!

    It's interesting how different some things are around the world.
    So US and canadian truckers don't like cabovers anymore but here in europe nearly every truck is a cabover.
    It's caused by laws, there are maximum lengths of truck and trailer, so cabovers allow more load capacity.

      I drove an 86 Ford 9000 that had that engine in it with mechanical pump, it was a day cab. That damn thing would roll out, one day i was bobtailing doing 100 mph and didn't know it lol, i pulled oversized loads and that thing would pull. I loved the hand pump because my fuel gauge didn't work and i ran out of fuel. Yes it drank the fuel.

    I only sort of doss about with mechanics really as a hobby but jheez that guy with the diesel pump had me hooked. I see blokes doing the same work with tonnes invested in equipment and shops but he's just invested in time and experience. What a treasure of a bloke - a dying breed unfortunately. Not much keeps me overly interested in TH-cam videos enough for me not to skip but I took in every second of the segment with him. Fair play

    Man, does that bring back memories ! Bought that truck new, well a red one, in 79. 3406 and the whole deal. Drove it till 84, when my brains grew in, and I got into something that made money. LOL
    Sure did have some good times in that old truck though. I can't imagine cell phones, and digital music and the good old internet in a truck these days. Beats the hell out of setting in a truck stop, every morning , for a half hour, waiting your turn to talk to dispatch. But, I also can't imaging these new fangled electronic logs, either. Would make the good old 20 hour days hard to do.

    The Double bunk KW's realy looked good. We used a trucker in the early 90's that had a small fleet of them solid black, double bunks with Cats and 9 speeds. He hauled off our logging jobs the long distance pulls across state lines. Great looking trucks. I see one abandoned at an old country store.
