      Thanks mate appreciate it, it’s hard not to smile after working on it for ages and finally getting to drive it!

    We can still get Castrol CRB straight weight SAE40 in the states, although Delo-100 is easier to find in sae-40. Like anything else you’d have to order an awful lot to make shipping worth it but if the need should arise you can probably get it from a supplier in southern CA to save a little money….calling on the phone will be your best bet there.

      Thanks mate I’ll see what I get locally, hopefully I should be able to find somthing around here!

    One of two stroke Detroit’s good points is you can just wind them over and they will start. No bleeding pumps or lines or special techniques. Brilliantly designed engines.

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      This one starts great, I’ve only got one battery in it and it winds over very slow and still fires up straight away!

    Hey Jake ,good work on getting the Kenny going ready for the truck show ,as long as it’s mechanically sound and safe to drive and you get your roadworthy ticket work it and tidy it up as you go ,some times it can be a chore doing it all at once,happy to see any video you make ,always good entertainment,thanks for taking your time to do it

  • @steveknopka7673
    @steveknopka7673 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Mate, love how you’ve brought the Kenny alive again, it’s sounds and looks amazing. It looks fantastic with its patina and history written all over it. Personally I would tidy the chassis up a little, get it roadworthy and reliable and maybe run it on historic rego to help keep the costs down?
    Love it, keep up the great work.
    Maybe drive it back to Gregory’s and take who used to drive it for them for another spin and bring back some memories!

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks mate I like the patina aswell I don’t want to paint the cab and bunk, I’m still undecided on the rego I’d like to go historic rego but it really limits me being able to make money with the truck.
      I will take him for a drive I promised I would once it’s running!

    • @dieseldownunder.

      I agree I love all the old gear! It’s so enjoyable to drive and operate thanks for watching.

    No wonder the old truckies back in the day went deaf, what a sick exhaust note! And those Jakes! 😍 brilliant work, Jake, top effort! Must feel great to have the old girl out and singing at the top of her lungs!

    • @moleather9038
      @moleather9038 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I'm one of those old truckies , and yes they are deafening. They don't call them the " screaming Demon " for nothing lol

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @Jackhawkins36
    @Jackhawkins36 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    You’ve done a hell of a job mate! I’d put twin stacks on it with clappers then get it roadworthy so you can enjoy it more. Then worry about how it looks! Either way do what you feel is right. I’m keen to see more videos!

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching mate, don’t worry still plenty more videos to come!

    @simonbull473 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Hey Jake lovin the W Model I reckon add another stack new bumper, give the cab & sleeper a polish & get her Registered & start making some $$$ with it.
    Worry about everything else later on.👍👍

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sounds like a great plan mate! All I’m really worried about is water in the cab and things that will leave me stuck on the side of the road! And twin stacks😂

    Well done Jake what a smile on the test drive it's yours and you can do what ya want me get her road worthy and working make some bucks for your next project would love to see the needle nose in the shed that would be awesome to see running great channel keep going

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks mate I think that’s the general consensus is to just get it roadworthy and paint a few things a long the way so I don’t think I’ll drag it out too much but I’ll make it right as I go, thanks for watching mate👌🏻

  • @alandawson2813
    @alandawson2813 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Wow just wow, Jake keep up the great work.
    I think fix the major bits like cab and sleeper and boot, plus tidy up inside and chassic,
    Get road worthy and get the coal rolling and earning some money so you can get the needle nose going and the other what 5 or 9 or 12 or 24 plus other KWs and other projects you want to do.
    All in all do what rolls the coal for you.
    Looking forward to the next installment.

    Well done Jake I really enjoyed the series on this truck would be good to see it polished up and towing a trailer

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks mate I’ll get it hooked up to a trailer in the next couple of vids I reckon! I agree it needs some shiny bits on it👌🏻

  • @offthegridwithbert924
    @offthegridwithbert924 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Out of all the cylinder configurations of the Detroit engines, the 6V sounds the best! The 8V is nice but sounds a bit more restrained, the 3 and 4 cylinder motors have very raspy exhaust notes, the 12 and 16V are on the smooth end of the sound scale but all unique in their own right.

  • @darrinconnors8425
    @darrinconnors8425 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Wow that sounds sick Jake well done all that hard work is paying off,imo just get the road worthy done but at least paint the rear rims lol.
    Drive it earn some cash and enjoy mate the smile on ya dial was worth it 🍻

    @geoffreyclaxton3624 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Go all out mate you have done a great job up date and you will enjoy it too and when you get a lot older you will have it to look back on be so proud, I've done it with vintage tractors 🚜 and they have been the best times of my life, keep up the good work you are preserving history. Good luck mate. Regards Geoff. C

  • @ChxlRotMG
    @ChxlRotMG 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Another awesome video Jake cant beat the smile on your face when you are giving it a rev up in the shed at 39:35 and your old man giving you the hand singles saying that's enough haha! I would personally do what is required to get the roadworthy done and a nice period correct dual stack set up the bunk boot, front sleeper panel, cab corner rust and any other bits and pieces that need doing so it can be out in the rain without it getting any worse and save your money for a full resto on another one of your trucks its in to good of original condition to cover all that history up but either way keep the videos coming 👍

  • @DarthPaddius
    @DarthPaddius 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You have come so far my dude and have done a bang up job! My advice would be to strip it back, change out all the bags, hoses, wires etc. Then it's just cosmetics (chrome and lights would be me, but you do you hahahaha). Also, me personally, I would get some nice strps/boxes for under the cab doors and move those tanks back. You make it look great while still working it my dude. I look forward to see where you take it.I'd swap out that shifter, for something a little more modern too, but again, that would be up to you.

  • @Vickyvee97
    @Vickyvee97 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Great job on the Kenny BTW! I would like to see the rust fixed and the boot sealed from the elements at least but I would definitely watch any other truck as well.

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thankyou! I’m definitly going to do the boot either way because I don’t want water getting in the cab! Thanks for watching👌🏻

    @camlill6977 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Well done - always good to have a truck show as a deadline! Chip away at the smaller jobs, get it roadworthy first and use it a bit to shake it down some more as there will no doubt be a few more jobs you'll discover before doing the full cosmetic!

    • @dieseldownunder.

    Gday Jake, absolutely shit hot, it sounds sweet and looks awesome, personally I reckon paint the spiders on the drive, different bumper, quick lick of paint on the rails and bloody enjoy it for a while and start to make it earn its keep, then when you know it’s right to a full stick restoration, this is a credit to you mate, you’ve done a bloody awesome job, cheers

    • @dieseldownunder.

    • @ardtessa
      @ardtessa 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Get it road worthy and start doing the whole thing that needs done after September. That way you can enjoy it and find out what you like and what you don't like and change that when you have it apart.
      We had ideas for the house we bought but after moving in and living there it developed totally different so go out and use it and you'll find your way.

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks Ard that makes sense I like that idea cause there’s nothing worse than having to change things after you think your done so your right once I drive it abit my ideas will probably change!

    Well done Jake great job a lot of work goes into a project like that, your steering should come right once you get good solid fluid to the pump ,sometimes i have had to remove the pipe and fill with oil and connect up quickly, then adjust your steering stops on the box lock to lock, should have clearance on axle stops about 1/8 inch, on hard lock, im sure you will get it good, cheers mate 😊

    Hi from France,congratulations, mate epic.Couldn't help notice that smile on your face on that test drive.Haven't the trucks changed over the past forty years,mate i feel like a dinosaure,here manual gearbox's no longer exist,the little truck i have on local work here has 460 hp,12 speed auto gearbox,more electronics than a russian trawler,i must have started as a driver in Melbourne in about 1980 and that W-Model was a high end truck (well the Aerodyne Cabovers were the cream of the crop)you'd go out do your drops,do your pick-ups,tarp/un tarp about four times a day (rain,haul or shine) they were long days,heaven forbid if you lost some paper work.I had a mate who drove a W-Model back then,had a 450 big cam cummins,it used to fly.I'd love to know the fuel consumption of that little 692 (number of the contract i work on 8692),you'll probably go through more oil than diesel if my memory serves me correctly.Great chanel.

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey mate good to see you in the comments as always👌🏻 it’s hard not to crack a smile driving this thing, they sure have changed the new trucks are comfortable but they don’t have anywhere near as much character or as fun as these old bangers, and all the electronics on new stuff is not for me way too much of a headache! I can imagine all the kenworths back then would have been under 10 years old everything would feel new still and driving past bedfords and R190s on the highway in a big truck would have been awesome!
      Once I get to drive it abit ill let you know what the fuel consumption is im interested to see how it compares to my scania 112.
      That’s a good contract number what a coincidence! I was also surprised to read in the Detroit manual the acceptable oil consumption per day it was quite high from memory!
      Cheers mate

    Yeah jake up to you but not bad idea to treat it as work in progress and drive the engine for few months earn some money with it and then strip off sleeper and rear guards and wheels and any other easy removable stuffs, cover up engine and bay with blankets and mask it off then sand blast the rear of chassis paint it , sand fuel tanks and polishing or wrap in stainless if you can , love how it coming along jake , quicker than most

    The day we've all been waiting for! Bet your neighbours love the Jakes 😁 It's got to be painted that chassis and the rear wheel buds, polish the tanks and a flapper on the exhaust. But I'll wait and watch progress on the needle nose!

    Great work dude.. I would clean it,get it road worthy,shake it down a bit and work it. Full blown restorations are a waste of money and time if you plan to work that truck.

    Your the one forking out the coin Jake for this lovely old girl get it rego'd and shake ìt down with a load behind her and smòothe out the wrinkles as the saying goes
    " I didn't build it for your approval " ......get some $$$$$$ and do the tidy up as your time and money see fit , great work getting her this far she's definitely in the right place now.😊

    Hi jake , once again taught this old dog new tricks clutch adjustment and what to look for thanks jake ,, i,m more your painter welder guy, but i,m fairly mechanical minded and as you see love learning shit i don't know much about ,,,, mate ive just got back my 2nd roadboss chassis from sand blasters and rubbed down friday to paint this week, its in primer but only hours away from painting, its very bare just diffs and front axle steer box / gear, and i will assemble some parts before painting and paint rest individually to get best results, Red is the colour just looks neat as pin in red,
    Sounds like she runs very smooth, lol water leak on water pump ,, had same problem on 3406 i had but some how it just sorted it self and stopped leaking after i bought brand new cat water pump, unreal ,,, and they anit cheap

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks mate! It’s good to know if you ever have to do do one! That’s awesome it will come up a treat once it’s all painted it’s a good feeling putting things back together, everything you bolt on is a step closer to being finished!
      I couldn’t believe the water pump started leaking and then it took up after pouring water out all day! I’m still going to get a kit and put it through the pump to make sure it’s good to go, I can imagine nothing about cat is cheap….

    Well done Jake! That 6V92 Detroit is just pure music, love it! I assume this one's got a 13 speed Eaton Fuller, right? Now that it's running, I'd love some super long unedited ASMR style driving videos of it out on the road with a load behind it! Don't forget about engine startup at the beginning and engine shutdown at the end. And speaking of ASMR's, have you done my requested ASMR on the K108? If so, when will that be up? Please let me know ASAP.

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey mate thanks for watching! Yep this is a 13 speed, I’m definitly going to do some longer driving videos! And I do apologise I havnt been in the 108 lately so I havnt had a chance to do that one for you, but I’ll make sure I take a vid when I’m in it next for you!

      All in good time. Probably makes sense to get the rest of that frame painted and right now you’ve gone this far, there’s no point fighting new airbags etc in there as it is, you’ll be kicking yourself after a few weeks of looking at it
