I travel for work and I’m in Virginia. We have a company hauling off contaminated dirt for us. One of the drivers has a slick 389 day cab but it’s got a paccar. Low and behold he tells me he watches your channel and has a C-15 and wants to use the rebuild kit you use. You have fans far and wide amigo. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate your time to educate people on my favorite engine. You maybe young, but your experience and knowledge of Cat engines is very impressive. I know you will always have work building these engines. It's the high quality and detail, which impress your customers, and your viewers. Just being honest from what I have seen. Not trying to blow smoke, I see quality in your work. Your blunt honesty is refreshing.
For those who are unfamiliar, to clarify the keeping it under control at 150k lbs, there’s certainly a reason why they’re called wiggle wagons, and it’s not only because they’re articulated
Something tells me we will see the biggest three wheeler driving around soon. 465 hp three wheeler. I agree there was one pump still working fine. Hopefully transmission works good for future videos before it looses its power plant. Thanks again for videos. Always fun to watch. I would love to get my hands on some of the Detroit’s you have.
She might actually appreciate what he is doing. Reduce, reuse, recycle also includes repairing old technology because thats better for the environment than manufacturing new one. What works for an IPhone, applies also to big earthmoving equipment. Of course she'd rather that those machines wouldn't be used at all, but I think shes fairly clever and reasonable.
Reminds me of that town that a guy was spraying dioxin on the roads and it made the whole town sick and they ended up abandoning the whole town due to contamination.
I remember my dad telling me back in the day when his dad ran a paving company that was a regular thing during the summer oiling down gravel and the berms of the roads
That hydraulic tank appears to be empty! The master of stating the obvious has returned. I laughed most of the way through this the first time we’ll done my friend another great video 🇬🇧
Half is better than nothing ... Thanks for bringing it to us ,i always enjoy your content very much .. Lookin foward to the next. Respect from Down Under
When I saw that hyd line dumping, I said to myself, you're in clean up mode now. Then you said the exact see thing! When I fight a starting system like you did, I'll run a lead right to the starter, and manually connect to batteries. Bypass all the switches and contactors. You just wanted to hear the engine run, without having to fix the damn thing.
Ya kno the first thing i thought when i saw them hoses hangin there was "is he gonna bridge them or cut off the pump?", and then as the video went on, i knew what was coming hahaha. Reminds me of the few times i started engines up with the trans-cooler lines disconnected. Only have to make that mistake once or twice...
Love your videos bro. I’m new to being a diesel mechanic and a lot of the trucks I work on have a CAT c15, c12-c13, ISX12, or a Mercedes MBE4000. Your videos are helpful and extremely detailed. Keep it up man!
I remember a good while back reading about how the older scrappers every jobsite was using and how uncomfortable they were and how many back injuries the workers got from driving them for a few years and then they redesigned the scrapper to be more comfortable. I just felt bad for the workers that got hurt udriving them for years and probably didn't get any relief or compensation from CAT or anyone.
LOL... I was like... "Is he gonna start that with those lines open?"..... I am laughing, due fact that I have done the same dang thing, as I got so focused and determined to figure out one issue, that I forgot about the most basic issues, ever being a problem... LOL... That was great. I don't feel so bad now. I really enjoyed that. I know it wasn't fun, but, it still made my day, that I am not the only one to do the strangest stuff.. about once every 5 years, I do something strange or stupid, which always puts my dumb a$$ back in check, and so far, I have been lucky, as I am still alive...lol
I’ve done a few of those transmission, if it is the trans I could almost bet it’s in that drop box, the ones I’ve seen have almost always blown up that differential in the bottom of that drop box, parts for that drop box are scarce too!
Good to know, thanks. Looking at possibly running a couple of these trucks, don't really see where 740s are a big improvement. These rigs are a good bit cheaper.
LOL, when you said you were going to try firing it up as you walked past the hydraulic hoses my first thought was "I hope he has the pumps disconnected". NOPE, nice gusher!
The fork lift was definitely a good idea to keep it from smashing yourself to death. and I had a feeling the whole time you get it fired up, now I wonder how I knew that. no doubt another AWESOME video keep up the great work.
Man Cat isn’t very generous for cab space on those, on the Volvo’s I’ve run the cab is full width and there’s enough room you can put extend both your arms out and never touch a wall, it’s almost like a small house instead of a cab, sort of like the old D9’s. You should weld a giant caster wheel like what came on the old Elgin street sweepers on the back and make a donut rig out of it
I've only been pryvey to seeing a couple of your videos, I'd like to make a side wager on how long it is before you fix a leak, and re-wire the main power circuits properly allow optimal conditions for the engine to operate and the entire cab be better (proven) then most factory produced gals before your next project.
you could probably make what ever repairs the front part needs and find a decent rear chassis for it and put it back together and have a driveable unit
Would love to mount 4 little hydraulic powered wheels from a small cherry picker hooked up to the hydraulic system of this beast. Gonna be some burnouts.
seen those hoses sitting there and i thought maybe your gunna do something stupid like id do. had two techs changing oil on a 3516, one started draining the oil filter hosing to swap filters then ran outside to grab the new filters and the other one got the pump ready to drain the oil. i guess it wasn't pumping as fast as he'd want it so he went over and started it up.. from what i was told there was oil everywhere, they spent the next three days cleaning up oil.

I heard that rift
KT3406E: “We’re gonna see if we can’t get this thing fired up…”
Me: “Sweet! I wonder how he’s gonna plug those hydraulic lines…”
Yeh, l saw them and thought the exact same thing. But hey no fault no foul, he knows the hyd pump is good 😊
Exactly what I was thinking!
I thought them being plugged was the reason it wasn't starting.
Pretty much the same thing. I was like huh. Have fun spraying hydro everywhere.

I’ve heard doubles referred to as wobbly wagons, follow one, the names are self explanatory.
"Gosh damn you should see the oil, holy shit!" LMAO!
One thing I love about this channel is how sketchy of battery set ups I’ve seen
Love the off road trucks with Jakes, it put a smile on your face when you go down a hill loaded.
"unintentional welding" LMAO 🤣 I've done that before, didn't know it had a proper name.
Yup, goes alongside with Terminal Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly...........
*watches hydraulic oil spray like a fire hydrant that broke off* "ya, i'ma say there an't nothin wrong with that pump" XD
It might flow but if it ain't got any pressure it's toast.
@@johndowe7003 flow to resistance is pressure. No such thing as pressure without proper flow
I was wondering who was coming back first, you, or Jesus Christ. Thanks, hope to see you rebuilding more Cat’s soon!

I’m old enough to remember when the county used to spray all the gravel/dirt roads with used oil to keep the dust down.
Reminds me of that town that a guy was spraying dioxin on the roads and it made the whole town sick and they ended up abandoning the whole town due to contamination.

Throw on a couple all-season radials and take it for a rip.

I honestly hope you don't stop making videos whether you're on patreon or something else, regardless I'll forever be watching

Ok….. I’m hooked. 80 yr old retired in Philly burbs! Thanks KT. Enjoy your narration.
Fun little wiggle wagon!!!
I myself am not crazy about Cat engines. This video changes my attitude about that engine has changed my mind. Sweet and smooth running engine
Made my day seeing another video just sat down with a brew and you popped up a new video

“Back half of truck missing” light is on!
Thanks for making this, I like the sound of that engine, and how resourceful you are.

This is among some of the most underrated mechanic channels on youtube. Like the videos, yall
Are you going to rebuild the truck or you just going to part it out
I cant click your videos fast enough! Always get great laughs from them.... appreciate you and please upload more frequently
What you put out for videos are great but we need more. I personally love the engine builds.
15:20 don't let Gretta see that! Looks like the driveway wont be dusty for the next 100 years.
laughing out loud when the hydraulics started spewing 😂
Cool, thanks!

Look at all the safety
I felt like I was a operating a window seat on a bus when I ran one of those.
Hell yea new upload. Ya love to see it
You're unintentional welding And then the 48 Volts of Juice going to the motor had me laughing hsrd
Commercial fishermen here. Nothing beats changing the battery bank at the dock. Love bench pressing 8D’s out of the engine room.

Yes it will start. 4 weeks of retiring later, we’ll see you again. It ran well once you got her tanking straight.
I’m sorry, l couldn’t stop laughing 😂 Cheers Steve 🍺🍺🍺
We in clean-up mode now ...
Two channels I will watch right away when I see new ones posted. Kt3406 and zip ties.
Absolutely brilliant keep the videos coming
Unintentional welding never did me any favors either ...... Awesome videos amd witty humor and commentary..looking forward to the next one
Had my welding lesson on a battery and a Snap on extension. Now I leave a plastic cap on at least one terminal to prevent that from happening.
All I could think of was Bishop's severed head spewing fluid in Alien! Cool video.
Well, on the bright side, that gravel will never rust. . .!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good stuff👍
You almost lost me screwing with those damned batteries but I’m glad I stuck around to the end
For keeping me entertained! Thanks! I enjoyed this. From, St. Paul Minnesota.
I love how he gets it running a goes to walk around it and immediately points the camera at the oil and runs back. Shut it down!!!!! LoL
how did you not see that coming!!?? Was thinkin that might happen but figured....ahh he knows what he's doing ahah.
Commentary is the best.
Would hate to see you go..your videos are always awesome, learned a ton.
I’ve done a few of those transmission, if it is the trans I could almost bet it’s in that drop box, the ones I’ve seen have almost always blown up that differential in the bottom of that drop box, parts for that drop box are scarce too!
Good to know, thanks. Looking at possibly running a couple of these trucks, don't really see where 740s are a big improvement. These rigs are a good bit cheaper.
"Well you should have done......" (from a guy that knows ZERO about CATs, let alone big trucks) Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them.
Excellent video! Keep em coming and don't forget about the all important view of the exhaust pipe sound...
I could see that mess coming from the start haha.. Brake cooling line is what made the mess
Started up like it ran yesterday
EPA is having a heart attack right now
LOL, when you said you were going to try firing it up as you walked past the hydraulic hoses my first thought was "I hope he has the pumps disconnected". NOPE, nice gusher!
Yes sir COOLEST EVER OUT STARTED
Magic mate.. I like your approach.. Same as me here in Scotland.. 👌👍👍
Can't wait to see what You might have planned for that!!! Always looking forward to see what You will have for us next! Keep up the hard work...😎👍
Sitting here watching this asking myself why in the heck am I watching this?....and yet here I sit continuing to watch :)
Brilliant video as always many thanks superb
LMAO!!! LOOK AT ALL THAT SAFETY!!!!

Very well filmed and good descriptions of what your doing to what !! Good work Sir keep them coming from an interested Limey !
The fork lift was definitely a good idea to keep it from smashing yourself to death. and I had a feeling the whole time you get it fired up, now I wonder how I knew that. no doubt another AWESOME video keep up the great work.
glade to see you back and making video's this is going to be interesting to see this video on this engine.
Good work guy😉
Looks like the hydraulic pumps work
Hydraulic fluid won't hurt anything, hold the road dust down where your sitting.
And nothing will grow there either lol, I usually throw my old oil on the fencelines/fence posts . Keeps the weeds down and posts lasting forever
I love it, keep up the good work. Suggesting your videos to all friends
