    I have a soft spot in my heart for the Aeromax. It was introduced when I drove for SYSCO, and we phased out those 2300 series with those junk L/10's for them. I got a new "Max with the M/11 for my assigned tractor in '92. I loved that truck. Ford had the better ideas, man.

    Didn’t expect it to run at all. Sounds good for having been froze solid enough to push the plugs out. Seems changing it out is gonna be a good option. I think you’ve got an engine in the shop that should fit. Too bad you couldn’t move the old girl. You’ll get it home eventually. Stay safe

    Put er in gear and holder down till you hear glass break. I'm glad I never totally owned a truck. I drove for enough OPs it was like I owned it. Only benefit I can see owning a truck is being able to have the engine you want . The company I retired with took every new truck and turned the power down and using more fuel instead of 6.5 mpg to 4.5 mpg. Every job I had was usually overweight most of the time and not enough power to pull it. When I started in 1970 it was 318s, 290s 350 and 400 big cams. GOD wouldn't let me drive anything like a 600 because I stayed in trouble with points on my chauffeurs anyway. I did drive some Macks that pull good.

    So glad you’re starting on this one mate, been really looking forward to you doing this truck.
    Your truck collection is by far one of the most interesting on all TH-cam, not just a.n.other 389 , you treat us to marmons, cab overs, western stars , freight liners and now this one, quite possibly the hardest looking ford I’ve ever seen or heard about 😮👍
    Of course we need you to pick up a Mack r series and an autocar and a Hayes and an Oshkosh m1070 as well please 😂👍
    Would some of those dorman rubber core plugs with the squish bolt in em get it running enough to drive it home perhaps? I’m sure between you, Jp and the chad and the boys you can rustle up a propshaft for it .
    Fantastic content as always
    Thanks for another fantastic video

    @davidmale1989 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey James, nice to see you got 11 to start. Was the air intake blocked? I don't know why you kept trying to run the engine with little to no oil pressure, and that ticking sound. Sounds like you've written off that engine. You still may be able to salvage that engine though. With no drive shaft you could not been able to drive it home anyway. Keep up the good work, we enjoy the video's.

    • @JamesPretty
      @JamesPretty  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ya I was up and down on trying to save the engine. It still had 15 psi oil pressure. I will take the heads off when I get it home check the cam and see if I can see any crack. Then I will
      Roll in new bearings and stuff if I can. I have a complete other engine.
