There isn’t very many feelings out there better than fixing something yourself and it works like it’s supposed to afterwards
I love cabovers . Wish they would make a comeback!
Orwell is sounding great Steve! Love what you did for the kids with "Snowwhite". Matt's wife surely will love it. Great gift for them .😊
Still hear my Daddy complaining about his back, driving a cabover. Thank God for conventional air ride!
Dad drove cabover, right up until a "trainee" got him killed.
WHAT❗ What The Hell ⁉️ Did the trainee get into an accident while you're Dad was in the truck ?
Welp, Steve's cabover is air ride.
It was sure nice to see you relax while driving today. After the first few minutes the viewer could see the load lift off your shoulders as you just enjoyed driving Orwell without, " Yah Mule Yah."
Take care of the one that takes care of you . Sounds good brother
Glad you got your truck fixed
Don’t know when this video was posted but I saw Orwell today in north Little Rock Arkansas at the petro truck stop wanted to say hi and meet you but looked like you was sleeping maybe next time my friend keep up the awesome videos and keep that Pete rolling
Orwell's sounding great brother dang good job. it's always better to fix it yourself because saves alot of money and you know the work that's being done
Glad to hear Orwell sounding better. 😊
Orwell sounds great 👍 Steve
Awesome Orwell is in good health.
So why am I listening to a video of someone driving a semi? Oh yeah because it sounds cool. Glad you got Orwell running right again. Stay safe out there. God bless.
Nice little video Steve, glad you got Orwell pulling good again. Cheers! 🍻
I am glad you Orwell fixed he sounds good
Right on brother Jakes fixed ol Orwell's rolling a lil more coal then normal brother lol joking glad everything's good and working right.
Pretty country. Nice ride. She's running smooth now. Life is good.
Kudos for bringing Chris on as your FT mechanic. That's an important first step in going beyond talk on your goals going forward....now for a 2nd truck..
Congrats on getting Owell 3406B Cat fix and back ready to start taking-on more loads.. great job.
Whoo hoo!!! I bet Orwell feels like a new truck again.
that ending track sums it up...that badass feeling after a successful road test, nothing like it!!
Looks like no more rolling coal, that fuel supply fix should give you better fuel mileage too. The amount of drive miles before this plethora of problems is a real testament to your trucks build. Keep on trucking FSC, great work!!!
Good to see Orwell up and running👌
Cool Orwell back in the game, Steve keep those wheels turning, then progress will just happen my friend, from the uk.
Hey Steve Orwell sounds great u can put a bigger turbo on it and it won't hurt it
Great video Steve Orwell sounds great. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.
Glad your back up and running, be safe and have a good one
Nice job on the repairs. I appreciate that you go thru all of the work to make the videos and then spend so much time editing and finding little cartoon clips to throw in at the right time and adding music of all types. Always a highlight when I find you have posted a new video to watch.
Great to see Orwell and you back on the road trucking keep it up great videos Steve
Sounds like Orwell has his mojo back. Good show, Steve!
I like it on the boat haul you were piloting for the Tim’s dad said roosters is too much of a build
Orwell sounds totally different not in a bad way but in a solid sounding way that a guy Orwell keep on bunting some cal enjoyed the ride Steve good job with the pressure switch also
Doesn’t seem as much coal as before,as long as you can feel the same power leave it and if under load it feels lacking you can give it a bit more,but until then you may benefit from slightly higher fuel efficiency.
Isn't it a hoot when you get your wagon to run and drive better than before. So much satisfaction. It's good that you have all the subscribers helping diagnose a problem. Orwell is humming again and he sounds really smooth. I was zoned out there during that ride for a bit. I've had my Orwell fix for the evening now and that will hold me for a couple of days. Excellent ride along buddy. Cheers.
I just pre-ordered the work shirt from your store. I love the design. Great video. I'm so happy to know that Orwell is up and running. I'm also happy that you and Jen are doing well and that your new guy at the shop is working out well for you, too.
Yes, things are going well. It's awesome to see so much work done while I'm away.
Steve im gonna be honest i could listen to that jake brake all dang day man i love tjat sound always have.....and i dont even drive truck. Just sometimes about it is just so soothing
Steve you did a really good job of fixing your truck. Truck runs like new again or as I would say like a weasel.👍
Glad Orwell’s firing on all cylinders again!
Your truck sounds great 👍
He back that good
She's Fixed‼️ Time to Get Back At it❗
Love that cat raddle
Good to see things running well .....
Orwell and the cat are sounding great.🤩👍👍
Glad to see it was the diaphragm and nothing else. I carry an extra, after having to change mine out. I would leave Orwell stock if your working it, modifying them always leads to more issues and less longevity.
Orwell rolling coal again. !! ❤😊
Hi your Swedish subscriber Johan congrats put Orwell and Snowflake back together and thanks for let os see and hear your so well detailed vids you take broken stuff apart and put back together.
Think you get other 379 with Detroit in it 😉😉 say hi to your Miss
Johan
Friend of the family has been running a 3406b cat making 35psi boost for 9 years and it's running great
Hey I am glad Orwell is fix she sounds really good 👍 😊
My buddy is working on an electronic afc controller for the 3406b. He has a working prototype in his 359 pete. Basically the diaphragm is replaced with a stepper motor. My buddy has 4 goals for the electronic afc controller and the first one is to reduce fuel consumption. The second goal is to reduce or eliminate black smoke from the exhaust. The third goal is on the fly adjustment and the final goal is to increase engine life. He is running a dps turbonator vgt turbo on his truck and he integrated a turbo speed sensor to aid in afc control.
What does he base the control on? Boost? Or something else?
@@fsctrucking The afc calculations are based on boost pressure, throttle position, engine rpm, intake air temperature, egt and turbine shaft speed.
The Dps turbonator vgt turbo is a game changer alone and combined with the electronic afc it's a different engine.
When you are due for a turbo you should definitely consider replacing it with a dps turbonator vgt turbo.
@ChrisHarding-lk3jj Almost sounds like a "bridge" combination that adds enough electronic enhancement without going full electronic. Sounds like a well thought out combination. Is there going to be a camshaft swap to something more optimized? Given that the tech is really old, a modern grind could increase power and efficiency quite a bit.
Also, at rebuild time, look into the Speed Of Air pistons......they do work.
That old Petercar tracks pretty damn straight
I picked up a second 3406b for 1k now I have a replacement engine for mine.
Chuggin right along...sounds as good as ever.
My father’s business partner son is a senior CAT engineer. I will gladly contact him if needed.
Area Diesel services.will take care of all your injection pump needs.
10:18 Hey, I am wearing that shirt right now!
Orwell is dialed! 💪🏻💪🏻
Having run a fleet of Cat 3406B's here in the UK the one spare part that is a must to carry is the fuel cut off solenoid on the pump. They were always failing.
Sweet hit the road now
Glad Orwell is up and going love watching your videos keep up the great work
So..all you have to do now to make it "really" legal is to fix ALL your dash gauges so that they not only operate correctly but ACTUALLY light up when driving at NIGHT. I'm really happy to see the cab (junk) over is fixed, at least for this week.
Good deal FSC👍
Sounds good! 👍
Works
That thing got a/c? Know it’s got the air ride, man I want to get me one and fix it up myself and upgrade a little, one thing is a/c and air ride if need be. Love cabovers, kind of a dream truck for me…and there will be none of that frame stretching crap either…it makes trucks look goofy.
Glad your trucks happy again steve sounds good keep on truckin!!
Good job steve
Hopefully Chris can help you make something productive out of that Ford Tractor, or come up with a better plan B.
Too bad it's already in pieces, maybe it could have been swapped for the Mack from a few videos before.
Last offer, I have a b module pump sitting on am self if you want it. By uniontown pa.
Oh you can definitely tell there is a difference in how it sounds and how it drives.
Job well done.
Good job. Sure like your videos. Stay safe out there.
Happy days
Rolling coal again. It's a thing of beauty.
Good afternoon brother yall getting the storms we had yesterday
Take care be safe 🙏
North of ya in this town poop tankers fly thro and Jake. They don't care.
Cab over sounds amazing.
Back to work, watch all the working vids Steve, have to keep moving.
Would love to see Orwell get a polish paint is good
Sexy cabover + one of the best engines ever made??? So awesome brother
Cruising smooth nice (it's the little things that count)
Steve you could have used your dually for weight to test Orwell.
Glad u got the old man fixed ❤
No more "roll that coal" footage. Bummer! Orwell does sound great.
Yeah, kinda sad. But all and all runs great. That's more important.
I wonder what that little golden sticker is on the bottom right of the windshield?
The Res is Tribal Lands. Potawatomi or Ho Chunk Nations are up in northern Wisconsin.
Oneida
That's a whole lot better.
It's blowed out
time for Orwell to roll some coal!!!
Hauling a load of Sailboat fuel, I see!
An extra 100 horses will improve the drivability. You'd be very happy .
Sounds good and then the Jake Brake is back. I would run it as is with out trying to get more power. This is a mechanical engine, you could get more power but your a one man trucking company. And you’re going good 👍
Glad he's fixed FOR NOW lol.
Oh, there's more crap yet to happen. You'll see. Nothing big. But annoying.
@fsctrucking with a CLASSIC truck like Orwell its always something lol :)
Roll that beautiful cold footage❤😊
_Coal_ footage.
Isn’t it Cole Footage?? 😉
@@maxracingteam23 That's only if he's hauling corn. 😉
I would have drove around the shop and see how it handled also pulling a heavy trailer. Hopefully u have no issue's at all Jesse.
Sounds good so far. Need to hear it under a heavy load for a real test. 🔊
Good old American coal
Yeah Bruce Wilson just got a Peter Bob 362 cab over what's the same motor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An owner-operator is a self-employed truck driver who owns and operates their own commercial trucking rig. Most successful owner-operators have a great deal of mechanical knowledge of their equipment and can repair and rebuild their own equipment. Steve Feszchak, of FSC Trucking, based out of Freedom WI, is a classic example of such an operator. May 7, 2024
I could have swore I seen this truck pulled over on RT 219 the other day just after McNally Bridge.
It is time to change his name from Orwell to Oh well.
