    These semi trucks are the best, their engine is pure music to the ears

      Yeah I love the pre emission engines too, wait to you hear the Jake Brakes.

    First truck I drove was a 94 Freightliner Cabover like that with the next size down cab. Was the nicest shifting Cabover I drove, growing up o drove a lot of old ones. The 94 rode nice too.

      First truck I drove with a license, I meant.

      That’s cool, I learned on a FLD, followed by many W900/T600, never took a Cabover OTR. Part of me wants to take it out for the experience, but I’ll really miss the room of my Cascadia. But since my insurance dropped from $18k to $10k this January at Renewal (I have my own Authority) I now have the ability to add it on as a 2nd truck and it make financial sense. Once it all sorted of course.

      I hear you on the room. I had a classic after that COE. then a couple KW’s & Pete’s. Just gave my 389 to my son, I’m gonna drive a Cascadia now with a DD-16 and a 72” mid roof. So I completely understand what you mean. Those Cabover’s are cool for messing around with, but living in one to long would be hard after having a lot of room. I’m 43 and the older I get I like more room. I take my grandbabys a lot so 2 beds works good too.

    We probably should have called you to come help with Burton’s motor, looks like he’s gonna need a rebuild.

      That’s unfortunate to hear.

    That is a very late N14........having both the mechanical PT pump AND a computer for cruise control etc. They were replaced by the "Red Head" engine which was fully electronic. You cannot put a tune on that computer. The PT pump does the calibration,governor etc as per a mechanical cummins. You might have noticed when the rocker covers were off, that there are no wires going to the fuel injectors....that means NO electronically driven injectors.......she is all mechanical ( as best as memory serves me, I could be wrong).

      You’re thinking of a mechanical n14 that was before this version. The Celect was introduced in 94. Yes the cam supplies fuel pressure to the injector but the ECU controls it, each injector has an electric pigtail connection, and if you unplug it, it will miss. Also this n14 can have a tune put on it, already discussed with Pittsburgh Power, and can move it from the 350 to 480 at the crank. They tuned my 98 n14 and my current DD15. Always very satisfied with the results. 1994 was the 1st year of the Celect, which mine has, then in 97 was the Celect Plus, that you referred to as the RedTop because of the valve covers.
      Trust me, I actually would not have bought it if it was a mechanical engine to run over the road. Yes dead simple but really hard to get any decent fuel economy out of.

    Add a momentary off switch on the shifter to kill the jakes. Works great when floating gears.

    It could be original miles,truck is in to good of shape you can tell its been taken care of

    • @wesley_scott
      @wesley_scott  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I honestly think it is. I did a RigDig on it and the previous owner bought it in 03 and it was stated around 300k, it was used in the ports of Savanna GA by the 1st owner. Then RigDig also tells you all the inspections by DOT over the years and never put out of service or moving violations, couple logbook and over weight infractions. Plus I’ve only driven old equipment my whole career for the last 20 years most with more than a million miles on the odometer, so I know abused trucks. I bought my Cascadia with a half a million, was the newest truck I’ve ever driven. Almost seemed to nice for me.

    • @wesley_scott
      @wesley_scott  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Really just bought it as a spare truck when my 2014 Cascadia has a major failure, use it for a few months while looking for a newer Cascadia. Then honestly probably sale it if the money is right. It actually drives really well. Trailer is a friends, I just happen to be parked next to, I run a DryVan.

      That’s cool, and your son has the same name as me. I watched your video about the seat swap. Quick question, the one you took out looked to have armrests on both sides, I didn’t think there was enough room, mine has a trashy seat with no armrests,, super annoying, I have a newer Peterbuit seat with no armrests that I was planning on installing, but I’d really like to have armrests on both sides.
