Bill from Zager's explained that injection pump so well I love to see him talk about and go through more fuel injection systems! He knows what he talking about!
Haha, yeah this is the second time I've seen this. If you like this you should see Eric the Car Guy getting his T5 rebuilt. That transmission guy knows his shit.
That fella rebuilding the pump was as cool as they they get. He could have said piss off leave me alone I'll call you when it's done, that was awesome for him to take the time to explain how the pump works and the process involved rebuilding it.
As someone who's been diesel wrenching for 17 years, I learned a lot of stuff from this video. It was SUPER cool to see a deep dive in to injection pumps. Thank you for this!
Yeah, that Bill guy knew what he was talking about. Loved that he said your name when there was something important he wanted you to remember. Good teacher.
I am a red seal Mechanic I just found your channel finally somebody that knows what they’re doing and isn’t annoying to watch and I also restore old trucks as well 👍
Guys like Bill keep civilization running. Guys who know their stuff, save folks money, do good work...God bless em! Hard to find, but once you do...you're golden.
That injection pump guy, truly amazing ! his intelligence and passion for his craft really shows I hope he has an apprentice or son to pass that knowledge onto the next generation! I’d also love to hear his opinions on the duramax cp4 pumps lol !
When I was in high school shop the teacher invited somebody in with a giant yellow CAT mounted on a trailer, setup to start and run as a demonstration. When he started it the wind blew and it smoked so much we all had to go running out of the shop to breathe. I've loved diesels ever since. :)
This was a great experience talking about the inner workings of the injection pump. I've always wondered exactly how they work and he sure knows every little detail. This was a brilliant learning experience to talk through all the parts and their purpose. Thanks for his time and willingness to discuss the whole process.
So good of you to show this pump, how it works, all torn down and an Expert to explain how it functions . I wold never need to know this (im an I.T specialist) but i watch just to learn things and possibly learn a new way to troubleshoot something . I love learning how things work, like a kid i find it fascinating as all of this is fairly new to me... So thank you to you Both for this . Cheers mate.
I don’t know nothing about what you do…but I love watching a guy, do what he does, when he knows what he’s doing, and you obviously know what you’re doing, which is why I keep watching you. Please just keep being you! 👍👍❤️
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!
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)
On one of my tractors, the injection pump was like a watch, a real Jeweled movement. The fuel was what kept the pump running. Just unreal. Injection repair guys, master master builders and repair people.
Having never worked on Diesel, which may be common knowledge to some, I am utterly amazing at the skill set of Deboss and Zager's knowledge of the extreme engineering. I learn so munch more on this and other TH-cam Channels that I will not find on Discovery and other over-the-air stations. Truly impressed! Thank you for sharing. (Born and raised in Texas, but with Canadian blood!)
Oh i LOVED the detailed explanations about the inner workings of the injection pump! Thank you and Zager´s for taking the time to explain in so much detail! I´m serious i LOVED that!
I worked in the shop during the 80's-90's. That "tank" Detroit sounds amazing !! That old Cat does too !! Great to see on of the old gals getting the make-over it deserves.
Miss those KWhopper cab overs. Nice to see one being saved. In this world of disposable everything. Nice to see you taking the time and doing a wake up process. So many throw batteries and a can of ether and crank the hell out of them.
bill built my p-pump and its crazy!! took him for a ride in the truck and he loves it. said it was the most high performance pump he had ever built! awesome dude
I have a brand new Kenworth bumper that would look beautiful on that K100. Not one of those aftermarket tinfoil ones this one is a true Kenworth chrome bumper... has never been mounted... purchased in mid-1990s garage kept perfect condition no rust
I can almost smell it from here, How exciting ! This brings back the days of my past. Thanks from a Old Man who is still young at heart. Keep living your dream
I love the 3406b cat great engine drinks fuel like I do beer. Also I love how you always have someone explain how a part works how it fails how to fix it and how to rebuild it best channel on TH-cam by far. Wish you had more subscribers to show that but o well
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.
My first rig was a 1973 KW cabover 155 inch wheelbase singles sleeper. I soon learned that K-Whopper put in a dammed plywood floor. But I still love cabovers. Of course now that I'm 60 I do appreciate a Freightliner walk in sleeper. LMAO! Although my bones need some wiggle room my heart is still with the Kenworth cabover LOL I love this project thank you guys!
Bill rules! Truly a skilled craftsman and an expert in his field, yet he seems extremely humble and down-to-earth. Thanks for bringing him into this video.
Thank you Rich! When I was a young man I was an officer in the armoured corps. The amount of heavy machinery Ive jury rigged, to save me from walking home from an exercise. I find this familiar. Your show always puts a smile on my face. Bravo!
Funny seeing that fuel pump that’s bigger then some modern day cars main motor haha!! Love the Billy Big Rig content, can’t wait to watch part 2 on DGHD after this
Something about Cabovers has always interested me. I had a fleet of day cabs collected from barns/next to barns from basically what Rich said, people didn't want to drive cab overs anymore (or they were replaced after being ran for a hard life). The only cabovers I have left are a couple Isuzu's (1 smaller box, another slightly larger with a toolbox/flatbed combo) for fun/utility and to satisfy the want to own one. A lot of the trucks I had ran fine and with minimal rust, mostly just mice and shot paint from the sun (Midwest US trucks kept in sheds/barns or cleaned). I kept them until the market/demand for them started to shoot up as projects or for parts, then I cleared out my lot and used the money to cover more than a few of my other much smaller nugget projects. One example being my daily at the moment, a 2011 Mazda5 Van loaded with options, manual gearbox, the turbocharhged awd power/drivetrain out of a MazdaSpeed 6 (rip, someone hit mine...in a parking lot...parked...away from other cars), and custom suspension to make it all run smoothly and hug the road on turns. I've always loved the small Mazda5's, a turbocharged AWD sleeper model was my dream...still rip my sedan, though :(.
You know what? How rewarding it is to know there are people in our tiny world who KNOW what they are doing! Yes, it is a group effort, but the wealth of individuals with knowledge, even blind faith, is absolutely priceless! Thanks guys . . . 🙃
Rich that injection pump guy was awesome thank you pump fella. That cleared up a lot of confusion for me. I wanna see more of that guy. He’s good shit! 🤘🏼
I am so very grateful for this channel, I could not begin to tell you all that I learn from watching you and your guests, thank you for all of the time and work you put into this!
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.
Good morning, I do like your idea of priming your oil system...great idea & worthy one, I do remember when Cat went from the mechanical to electronic injection pump....not much of a COE guy, but you did buy a nice KW...I always liked the KW interiors, in the late 1980's I started working at a Pete dealer in Michigan for about 10 years, then went to a Western Star dealer...then the back surgeries started...you know what happened then...career change...sold all of my "big" tools, had a couple antique trucks, they went too...now I have a worse hobby...Hot Rods.....be safe, God Bless!!!!
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
42 years ago I spent time in a pump room it was very interesting and fun learning how to fix some of it, Thanks Rich for sharing your experience 👀🔨👍😎😎😎😎
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.
I just stumbled upon this project & I LOVE it! An old cabover KW was the FIRST semi truck I ever rode in. It was at that momet that I knew I wanted to be a truck driver when I was old enough to do so. Been driving for 22 years now, & plan to go for another 20 or more still!
I truly appreciate all the information on these mechanical fuel systems. I really don’t care to know anything about the common rail trash that is on all the modern engines
has nothing to do with cheaper. it is all about the way a diesel has double the torque of a big block at 1200rpm... that shove that says: i will get your there!
I work on those diesels and I still love the old-school injection unit. That was very perfect calibration job. Real pro in action. The sound is amazing. Kenny by name and Kenny by nature!
It's stuff like this that scares me away from working on stuff that I don't know much about. I wouldn't know that the governor weights wearing out can blow up an engine; I wouldn't know that you have to put the pin in the flywheel before removing the injection pump; I wouldn't even know not to take the injection pump apart in the first place, much less make sure the ring gear is pushed all the way forward on reinstallation. Oh well, at least I haven't gotten myself into to much trouble yet. I love what you're doing!
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.
What an amazing guy that was rebuilding the injection pump! Love his calm way of sharing and showing you everything... Class act gent with a great skill!
Absolutely amazing work! The guy with the workshop is solid gold in jobs such as this one, love the sound of the old beast and runs well seeminglyl. The great knowledge you Folks have is a pleasure to see working on this baby. Look forward to seeing more of this restoration, thanks for this, keep up the fantastic work!

Good to see the old gal getting a new lease on life
Bill from Zager's explained that injection pump so well I love to see him talk about and go through more fuel injection systems! He knows what he talking about!
I agree he had a great explanation. Very knowledgeable.
Would yall put a link to said videos.... or do I just search zagers
Explains a very complex engine part so well that you understand it clearly the first time. Well done.
My friends late father worked for Cat for years doing pump and injector work he finally retired years ago, it made me think about him.
@@timcanizares5240 it's in the middle of this video when they rebuild the injection pump.
Theres nothing i enjoy more than listening to someone explain how stuff works, when they actually know whats up
People that explain things in simple terms are the only people that actually know how they work - that guy is a PRO!
N😅
Haha, yeah this is the second time I've seen this. If you like this you should see Eric the Car Guy getting his T5 rebuilt. That transmission guy knows his shit.
Its so cool to see someone truly knowledgeable talking about his craft.
I really liked listening to this guy talk about his craft
@@XUncleBossX lots of parts in that pump...that's why you don't take it apart ..lol.
I totally agree.
Long live mechanical injection, I have leaned something today!
@@XUncleBossX y tu 6yxg
That fella rebuilding the pump was as cool as they they get. He could have said piss off leave me alone I'll call you when it's done, that was awesome for him to take the time to explain how the pump works and the process involved rebuilding it.
One of the best engines ever made, I’ve worked on and rebuilt these pumps many times.
People can be so short sometimes
We're all starving for human interaction after Covid.
No, he seems like a very laid back dude for sure. I would love to apprentice with him.
As someone who's been diesel wrenching for 17 years, I learned a lot of stuff from this video. It was SUPER cool to see a deep dive in to injection pumps. Thank you for this!
The segment with Bill at Zager was awesome. He really knows his stuff and explains it very well.
Totally agree! What a craftsman Bill is. It was fun to learn about these pumps and marvel at the engineering that goes into these things.
I'm a diesel master tech. This guy explains these old pumps the best. I've never heard a pump explained this well.
Yeah, that Bill guy knew what he was talking about. Loved that he said your name when there was something important he wanted you to remember. Good teacher.
I think it’s awesome you took the injector pump it to a small business to get fixed. Those guys are the best.
I am a red seal Mechanic I just found your channel finally somebody that knows what they’re doing and isn’t annoying to watch and I also restore old trucks as well 👍
Do you have to disconnect the linkages like the steering, shifter, throttle, etc...when jacking up the cab on an old cabover like this?
The injection pump explanation was brilliant...thank you.😀
Guys like Bill keep civilization running. Guys who know their stuff, save folks money, do good work...God bless em! Hard to find, but once you do...you're golden.
So true. My general mechanic of over 30 years retired, I miss him.
I was looking at that truck on Kijiji like 2 months ago! Apparently Rich bought it before I could. Can’t wait to see it fixed up!
That injection pump guy, truly amazing ! his intelligence and passion for his craft really shows I hope he has an apprentice or son to pass that knowledge onto the next generation! I’d also love to hear his opinions on the duramax cp4 pumps lol !
I have to buy a new toy, to haul off the previous toy. Good on ya Rich!

@Baby Clara nobody wants to catch crabs from you and your buddy
Yeah, but what a way to go!
I worked in the shop during the 80's-90's. That "tank" Detroit sounds amazing !! That old Cat does too !! Great to see on of the old gals getting the make-over it deserves.
“Come on Rich!” New favorite line from your vids!
Miss those KWhopper cab overs.
Nice to see one being saved. In this world of disposable everything.
Nice to see you taking the time and doing a wake up process.
So many throw batteries and a can of ether and crank the hell out of them.
You know Rich, if you'd said "Bring the thunder" when you first tried to start it, she'd have fired straight up 🤣🤣🤣
Vice grip garage lol
Always nice to see an expert just talking about things with no drama, over acting or loud music, that bloke from zagar really knows his stuff
I love how you showed us probably a month in minutes. Nice video. Now I want a cab over like this. (My late dad drove this truck for a while)
THIS KNOWLEDGE IS AS VALUABLE AS GOLD IMO!!!!
the little things these people know are what make them good mechanics
holy smokes! Bill is cool lad was really nice to listen him explaining, brilliant stuff!
bill built my p-pump and its crazy!! took him for a ride in the truck and he loves it. said it was the most high performance pump he had ever built! awesome dude

I never comment but you’re getting a like and a comment for both video’s because the quality of content is sooo darn good.
Your pump guy seems cool, love finding local shops that have all the knowledge and skill to rebuild whatever you need. 👌🏻👌🏻
I learned a lot in this video. DEBOSS wire to prevent you from a adjusting must work! I love busting chops. Kudos.
i could listen to billy all day talk about those pumps, its nice to see someone with loads of knowledge and explain it really well to us noobs haha.

I've always loved the small Mazda5's, a turbocharged AWD sleeper model was my dream...still rip my sedan, though :(.
If Bill had a youtube channel about tearing fuel pumps and turbos apart to see how they failed, then rebuild them I would 100% watch.
If Bill had a TH-cam channel, he'd never get any work done and he'd go broke.
This gentleman knows his craft. I could listen to him talk maintenance all day!
That’s a great looking truck Aaron and Rich! I was cheering ya on as you were problem solving trying to get it going. Sounds great!
Thanks Sandy!
You know what? How rewarding it is to know there are people in our tiny world who KNOW what they are doing! Yes, it is a group effort, but the wealth of individuals with knowledge, even blind faith, is absolutely priceless! Thanks guys . . . 🙃
"the smell of 90s emissions" yeah I can relate to that feeling 😂
The amount of complex parts and engineering that went into creating this and any engine is unbelievably remarkable.
Rich that injection pump guy was awesome thank you pump fella. That cleared up a lot of confusion for me. I wanna see more of that guy. He’s good shit! 🤘🏼
Bill was awesome. What a knowledgeable, cool dude. Type of guy I could listen to for hours.
When you pulled off the Kenworth with the tank and it rolled right into....that's good enough reason not to sell the tank :D
I am so very grateful for this channel, I could not begin to tell you all that I learn from watching you and your guests, thank you for all of the time and work you put into this!
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.
Road construction is worlds ahead as well they're not going as far per day so comfort is less of an issue
Cant compare those POS US cabovers to european ones. American know nothing about driver comfort or ergonomics.
@@V8Lenny so europeans are so soft they had to design a truck fit for a princess?
@@16vSciroccoboi yes and that needs knowledge american manufacturers dont have.
@@V8Lenny The American trucks inside are huge by comparison, especially the high roof condo sleeper versions.
Injection pump man brightened my day. Thoroughly enjoy people who can make a living off niche markets, and his knowledge makes me happy.
That's actually a brilliant idea using the pressure accumulator to pre-lube the engine. The bigger ones make pretty good fire pits.

Billy's bad effing ass! He's on top of his game. Would love to see more stuff from him.
This is gonna be a nice rig. Lookin forward to seeing the build
42 years ago I spent time in a pump room it was very interesting and fun learning how to fix some of it, Thanks Rich for sharing your experience 👀🔨👍😎😎😎😎
Daaaamn. That camshaft though. On a fuel pump. 😲
12 valve cummins has a smaller version of this pump
Billy's got the dream job working from home I'm sure and people bring him the work. If you need your P pump fixed guys like Billy are priceless.

Hopefully that guy can find an apprentice he has so much day knowledge like the George Jones song says "Who's gonna fill their shoes"
I could listen to Billy all day, what a wealth of knowledge that guy has.
Diesel Guys: "diesels are WAY simpler than gassers" Me: "Wut?"
When it is all working.
has nothing to do with cheaper. it is all about the way a diesel has double the torque of a big block at 1200rpm... that shove that says: i will get your there!
I work on those diesels and I still love the old-school injection unit. That was very perfect calibration job. Real pro in action. The sound is amazing. Kenny by name and Kenny by nature!
I bought a K100 new in 78 with a KT400 and 13 speed Eaton Roadranger and ran it for about 1.2 milion miles. I loved that truck.
It's stuff like this that scares me away from working on stuff that I don't know much about. I wouldn't know that the governor weights wearing out can blow up an engine; I wouldn't know that you have to put the pin in the flywheel before removing the injection pump; I wouldn't even know not to take the injection pump apart in the first place, much less make sure the ring gear is pushed all the way forward on reinstallation. Oh well, at least I haven't gotten myself into to much trouble yet. I love what you're doing!
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.
Bill seems like a super genuine and knowledgable guy.
What an amazing guy that was rebuilding the injection pump! Love his calm way of sharing and showing you everything... Class act gent with a great skill!
Seeing enthusiastic professionals explain their craft like this helps restore some of my faith in humanity.
Absolutely amazing work!
The guy with the workshop is solid gold in jobs such as this one, love the sound of the old beast and runs well seeminglyl.
The great knowledge you Folks have is a pleasure to see working on this baby.
Look forward to seeing more of this restoration, thanks for this, keep up the fantastic work!
