I need to send this guy a case of starting fluid. He could probably fire up the titanic with it.
@@7xtc25 i might could lol but the titanic is steam might be a bigger challenge would probably need a few tons of coal
@jenningsmotorsports7554 "hi guys, we got ourselves one of these PMS TITtanics, it's got a little rust, but not to bad, but we'll check the erl and get this ol'girl started shortly " 😂
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 slightly more than a few ton, fun fact though the Olympic class liners were the most efficient steam liners for their size, using only 800 tons avg per day of coal at full ahead. The startup sequence, using only boiler room number 1, would take up to 2 - 3 days to build up steam to start the dynos and preheat all the cylinders in the 4 cylinder triple expansion steam engines, to operating temperature. *This part is critical as any steam engine CANNOT be rolled over while cold due to difference in clearance when cold. Cylinders must be properly preheated to allow for proper expansion for startup sequence.* There are probably alot more steps but essentially once everything is warm, and your a day away from departure, you'd then have to fire up the rest of your boiler rooms, "There were 6 in total" to generate the steam necessary to actually roll over the engine. Once that is done and your hours away from departure you'd then warm up whats called the "Brown's hydraulic engine" These engines where used for a few things in the engine room such as changing over the massive changeover valves that vented exhaust steam to the central "Parson's low pressure turbine" which drove the central prop, to vent directly to the condensers. In this instance in would sit by the flywheel and function as a starting engine. Here there are a few steps missing but essentially once the command comes down from the bridge for either dead slow or slow ahead, they would engage the "Browns hydraulic engine and would get the massive engines to slowly spin over, once the engine is spinning theres a pressure valve they would open in the HP or high pressure cylinder and they would slowing begin to introduce steam into the cylinder. *There are 2 low pressure, one mid and one high, during normal operation steam is introduced into the HP cylinder @215 PSI, is then vented into the intermediate pressure cylinder @ 78 psi, then the 2 LPP cylinders @ 30 psi before being exhausted to the LP turbine or the condensers @ 9 PSI Absolute.* Once enough steam is introduced they close the compression valves on all the cylinders and disengage the browns engine. Your 4 cylinder Triple expansion steam engine is now running at slow ahead. It is important to note that there is no throttle on these things, and depending on speed may only be operating on one cylinder while steam is bypassed and compression valves opened on the remaining cylinders.
I rode in a truck just like this with brand new shiny red paint in 1951 with my Daddy.
seeing old cans rollin again truly enjoyable
👌🤣👍nice!
The vacuum leak stopper stick made me laugh. Thanks for the video 🇦🇺
@@matthewknowles2607 thank you
Your comment reminds me of the channel: backshed
@@matthewknowles2607 Man I had an old 68 Chevy pickup that had screws in several vacuum lines lol.
I grew up north of Searcy, and I remember my brother buying 50-100$ cars or trucks that had been out in a cow pasture for years. He file the points, put a hot battery on it, air the tires up and drive it home.
My brother and I rolled one off it's roof after putting on a gas tank (it almost fit, close enough) and drove it "near" home (couple mile short) one of the "may pop's" popped.
I know that pasture. It's goats now. And the cars and trucks are quite a bit more $$ nowadays..
Wauw..Santa..s.here!!!!
I wish I lived in USA
I grew up in Garner. I bought a 69 Fairlane in Morning Sun back in 77 for $ 250.
wow, that was amazing. This is truly one of my most favorite channels
@@emonk042 thank you for watching I couldn’t do it without y’all
This guy can literally get anything running. Another great job! Thank you!
imagine sitting in a Prius and this beast pulls up behind you...hehe
Before ten years or so cruising with 120km/h an old vw t1 full of rust overtake me with ease and lost in horizon..must have 170km/h for sure😂 total rotten but with 3000cc porsche engine😅😅😅😅😅
@@abandoneduniversesenglish please
Having owned muscle cars, motorcycles, and a Prius, I view your comment as fn stupid
"Oh what a lovely vintage truck" - the prius driver
@@wazaagbreak-head6039 this better for ya..."10 years or so ago, I was cruising at 120km/h when an old rusty VW Bug easily blew by me and disappeared over the horizon...it must have been going at least 170km/h...it was totally rotted out but had a 3.0L Porsche engine in it."
I really enjoy seeing you get these classics going. Better than the big name channels! Thanks again
Lets get to cranking the ole girl !!!
Well dog garn it
Love this channel
I wondered if people would do videos like this in 80 years with our modern cars being the relics. But I doubt our modern ones will live that long.
@@ATruckCampbell I don’t think they will the new stuff won’t last and the wires a coated is a soy based plastic stuff and Rats love it I have seen car where they have eaten every wire
In 80 years I don't think any of the current modern cars will be able to be gotten running because they all have to much electronics on them and their wiring, sensors, computers, fuel injectors etc will not be savable
I've seen some of these new cars completely disappear from the roads in 5 years after having seen them everywhere.
I don't know. I guess we'll find out how well cars and trucks that are made of plastic and tinfoil hold up over the years.
Only if you drive a Toyota
I do like your collection of vintage trucks!!
Love these so much, nature noises and working on vehicles; reminds me of my younger years!
a great way to continue my great day. Thanks.
Mr jennings ya'll are a blinkin genius, I swear. Goodness.
Just started a old motor that hasn't run maybe 40 years using the method I learned from you thanks for the knowledge 👍
Man you're reaction time was faster than chuck Norris when that engine blew out that trans fluid from the cylinders lol 😂😂
Love the vacuum plug - a natural solution.
The raticus giganticus had me lol. 😂
It's been long wait for video I look forward to them you have the best video just seams like a long wait I use to work in a wreaking for 20 years I miss working on these old cars trucks you bring a lot good memories let me know read this I like to hear from you
the southern accent, the simple editing, cool cars? i fuck with this
Man. nice when I was in high school I had a 58 f100 with a 312 Y-block had original 4bl carb and 4 speed on the floor that had granny gear, wish I still had it !
You are an amazing "get it running" mechanic. Well done.
Got her running Bro...your a legend !!!🚛👀❤
you're*
Man ive been watching this guy for years. He needs more subscribers than he has. He cracks me up because he's basically me working on a car. Shits in fire, oil on the ground and everything falling off because I forget to move it before I try to move the car.
You have an amazing talent with those old time pieces ! i enjoy very much watching you work
Look at all those vintage cars lined up around the property! This would be a dream come true for me.
Just got done watching the new video and I'm in a mood, so I'm gonna sit here and relax and have a re-watch session!! America!!!
Man I lost it when it sprayed you in the face 😂😂😂😂
Best channel on TH-cam or any streaming service been waiting and waiting love the videos can't wait for you to find some unrefined diamonds
The late 40's trucks have always been my favorites. My father drove a 48 Chevy for several years when I was a kid. It finally died in 63 and it got parked in the field for a while. I can still remember playing in that truck. Can't wait to see what you dive into next.
She runs but sure can hear rocker noise. Also sound like It's A little high In timing. I would love to see what gunk comes out of the oil pan. Nice video man. Love watching you get these old ones running.
I love that truck and that you got it running!
Nice work...I knew you'd get her running after the obligatory carburetor on fire.
@@redmavis6136 they always run better after they catch on fire it’s kinda a mandatory thing around here lol
some good rubber and she'd be a daily driver Thanks for another amazing video brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jennings, no one else brings the kind of expertise to a "will it run" video like you do. Here we go! Looking at the Exhaust manifold arrangement, I wonder what they were from. They look like upside down from opposite sides with flanges on each in the front. (I did something like that back in the 60's when I put a 318 Poly Hemi in where a Slant Six used to be. Got some flex tube from J.C. Whitney to make the connections.) And let's not skip right over the fan belt adjustment. What, 7/16" bolts on a massive cast iron slider? And that's only the fan!. Yep, I concur, Starting fluid does start low compression quicker . There's always time to switch over to gasoline after it revs up a couple times and things start working better. OK, the old "Green Stick in the Vacuum Line" trick. Well done Jennings. You got'er running. Now fill'er up with oil all the way to the top of the rocker covers. Fill the intake and each cylinder thru the sparkplug holes for storage. Great going! Fun to watch. ben/ micigan
"will it run" is never an option on this channel ! Keep up the good work and greetings from Finland, near arctic circle.. !
Omg im early lol. Thats one nice truck tho
@@-OneStep- it’s in a lot better shape than the usual ones I get lol it’s some how 96 percent rust free the guy it came from had a salvage yard and he only kept the best stuff and crushed the rest
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 Omg its so cool of you to respond, love your content! Just pure quality!
See man, I would LOVE to rock something like this! I love the oddball factor with that old T-bird V8 under the hood. I would clean it up, build another bed for it, repaint it, and install some performance mods on it.
Love the vacuum port plug. I enjoy watching each video you make. I’ve been a gas/diesel tech for 40 years and it never get old to here one run again.
Always enjoy a fresh video from ol' Jennings...thank you for staying the course! 👍
The bamboo to fix the air leak had my dying 😂😂
The engine whisperer strikes again ....
I had a 1950 Ford F100 pickup that I bought when I was sixteen years old for $70.00. I learned to drive by driving it a around the pasture field. My Dad and I overhauled the flat head eight engine she had together but Dad did most of the work. I am still sorry I sold it fifty two years later.
It's a Furd. Number one is on the right bank, not the left. Right bank is 1,2,3,4
Left bank is 5,6,7,8
1, 5, 4, 2, 6, 3, 7, 8?
sounds great and idles well too-good job!!!!I like watching this work out!!
Came with the multiple mud flap option, thats always good to have.
Love you vacuum solution lol. Amazed as usual that you get these old beasts running again!
I remember when I first started driving in the 90s I was always at a local salvage yard getting parts for everything. The whole junkyard was on the side of a mountain and the owner had a ford wrecker like this that he often gave me rides in to the top of the hill and back down if I had a lot of parts. It was about in the same shape too lol
Must have been a pleasant surprise to find a set of T=bird valve covers attached to a Y block?
YES!!! I was really missing your videos! So happy to see a new one!!!
The old girl sounds pretty darn good. I think you are the best guy on U-Tube, as far as getting any engine unstuck and running. You have it down to an art!
That spider @4:31 looked like it was gonna crawl up and get you haha as always you got it done i think those valve covers are worth more than the truck.cant wait for more videos.
I love seeing these old cars brought back to life!
I reckon it'd be hilarious driving this thing at about 10 mph past a State Trooper with the doors hanging open and the bonnet up..... ;)
However much the ticket would be, it'd be worth it for the laughs!
Hey mate, love your channel keep up the good work. A big Hi !! From myself from New Zealand 👍🖐
HEARING THE TREE FROGS IS AWESOMENESS !
Yes, this is so cool and educational. Speaking of which, the bird in the background sounds like a prehistoric pterodactyl. Birds evolved from small fast reptiles, which eventually sprouted wings and took off. Anyways, nice truck!
Really sounds just like the modern 1950 model! Amazin.
Oh the little van! Get that one running!
heh
"thunder chicken"
"jiggle stick"
"universal key crowbar"
"duct tape on tires"
Love them jokes.
Really well done , another piece of history saved , thanks for sharing , see ya next time !
Ah yes an Y block! Got through getting one going for my neighbors. You definitely have some money sitting right there. Not necessarily for the engine unless it was the special that Ford had but that teapot carb and intake is worth a bit as well as those valve covers. My neighbors were actually looking for a teapot setup once upon a time. The ticking might get eliminated if you adjust the valves some. Theirs ticks when the valves are out. It might have some bad blow by but check to see if the road draft tube might be blocked. If it is, that can cause the engine to build positive crank case pressure.
Your the beat
Great video JMS, cool and mean lookin truck, running and kinda driving 😀👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲
And there he goes tryin' to set the world on fire again lol. I was eagerly awaiting a new video, as I had been slowly getting to watch all of your videos, and had just about run out when this one was uploaded. You are so awesome with getting these relics to run again; you truly have a magic touch. Another awesome, epic video, thank you.
Great! I wish I could be there with this nice girl!
Greetings from Bavaria!
Hi I love you videos I’m a classic car type person or truck plus when you get it started 🛻 1:24 she bone dry got me 😂😂😂
Just subscribed to this channel. love your work !
O'l girl ain't got plug wires, but I got a shoe lace with nail on'er. So we'll get it started here in a minute...😂
Nicely done, Jennings 🙌 Once again, you didn’t disappoint. Such a beautiful rig…..
Well done! You have great patience/perseverance👍👍👍☺️
Love them old Y-Blocks! Great sound!
That old truck rusty and beaten still look way more beautiful than the ugly Cybertruck.
That old 289 engine sounds pretty good. Hear a little lifter noise. Probably will smooth out. Moves with flat tires. Great will it run. Thanks for sharing. 💯👊👍
I got this old dodge that’s been sitting for about 10 years. I’ve been watching your videos for inspiration to get this thing running. I have no idea what I’m doing and currently stumped. It’s a 1983 dodge rampage It has 50,000 original miles clean as it can be for this year. Mr Jennings I need your help to get this old girl running!
one of those pepsi bottles are from 1958 ish so way longer than 45 years id imagine. also the bamboo stick was a nice touch lol
Hello there! Have a great Weekend!🙌🏼🙌🏼
There's a big old cricket or two watching you there! Cool viddy!
Awesome ! Glad to see you .
Glad to see all is well bud.
Man, I was hoping to hear an old flathead run today… But either way still a great video probably one of my favorite automotive channels on TH-cam. I am a huge vintage car person and this channel is awesome. Keep it up man.
You have the best fun!
always in sparkling clean white tshirts 😂 Say hi to your wife from me 👍🏽
Its good to see you post a video. I had begun to think we had lost you. I always enjoy watching you fire up those old engines. Do you sell these old cars, or parts them out or what?
@@jerryhammond2730 most I sell I try to find people that will fix them and get them back on the road I try not to sell parts off of anything that can be fixed
I wish you'd shown how you went from starting fluid to gasoline. I didn't see a gas can on the roof, and the carb hadn't been swapped.Your videos are great. Thank you.
So entertaining! Thanks.
That's an impressive flexi hose.
In places like Kansas, these trucks would have been grain haulers.
@@kristoffermangila around here in Arkansas and in Missouri most of these trucks carried pulp wood logs to the mill or hay every now and again, I will come across a grain truck but they are manly in northern Missouri or down in southern Arkansas it’s to rocky and hilly here in the ozark for large scale farming
Anybody heard mention of that AAR Cuda project lately.. that thing was a total wreck but he was bringing it back around pretty good.
Thanks for sharing your adventures!!
I’ve never heard somebody call a T-bird a thunder chicken 😂
It's about time! Love seeing these moving again, even if it's just a few feet. You need to put a flathead back in the old girl!
Actually its quite alright as it is. That Thunderchicken motor is a good upgrade from the original flathead motor.
I really like this one’s face. Nice to almost see yours as well.
I know what to get you for Christmas- a case or two of starting fluid :) good job :)
I’ve been checking everyday for a new vid thank you!!!!
I had a '49 panel but I made a whole 100 bucks by selling it, 1975. I only made a hundred a week so....weeks pay!
Works out to $2.50/hr. Probably close to minimum wage in '75. Bet that extra cash came in handy!
@@DanDrolett Close, 3.08, 199.98 net, bi-weekly. Wife was making 1.10 part time at a grocery. 100 was big money! Uncle gave me the truck for “get it out of here” price. Big score was a lady wanted an old car (early ‘60’s Olds/Pontiac/Buick?) out of her garage for 50/50 deal. Sold it for 600, went out for ‘real restaurant’ dinner! Ah, yeah, good times.
Edit: just remembered, I had 25? auto out of pay to savings so your 2.50 calculation was spot on with numbers I gave ya.
Wow cool you are the best This car works great, well done, I'm very glad to see you
That’s one heck of a ground cable
Finally, always a good day with a new Jennings video
All those trucks in the field look so awesome!!!! Great backdrop for this video. You are awesome!! Keep making content. 🙏🏻😎
