Love watching your videos James. I grew up in and around old trucks like the ones you’re working on sir. Fantastic job getting that classic Freightshaker running! 💁♂️😉👍
I love that you are saving these older work horses. We need more of these back on the road doing what they were built to do. I want to see smoke coming from the stacks when I see a truck on the road. I put in a lot of years driving these older beauties. I love them. Dave
Wow!!! Awesome to hear the old iron flashing up and idling, I’m “Pretty” sure you would get them to crank if they were underwater ! Gentry is a Detroit man! Good man around those . Another great one James ! Keep them coming !🇨🇦👍
Hey jp every morning I just wake up get on my grind and look forward to watching a brand new video from you thanks Man keep doing it for us I’m in the trucking industry out here 🇯🇲
did you ever hear the expression that you are a real mechanic? in this day & age people with this ability are a dying bred? GOD bless you & may you keep practising your special art form. I have been a mechanic for 45 yrs & have not worked with mechanics for such a short time. regardless if it is diesel or gas( I'm a ASE L1 for 45 yrs & I don't look down on any mechanic regardless-certifications are for me just a personal achevment & don't mean any thing personally(your personal ability-dude you are awesome in your ability that GOD has given you such ability & I wish I knew you personally as you are so cool. GOD bless you & keep up the the good work.
Nice tractor. Motor sounds sound. The sleeper!! Now that's executive styling. And "mint". I can't wait until Whitney's on the move! Such a beautiful machine.
Yeah, I'm in the middle of watching same day coverage of Whitney. You're working(playing) in a honey hole! I used to love walking thru a local salvage yard and dream of the possibilities. Of course I was removing what I needed for my own vehicles. Thx again, Jp!
I drove one like that from Spartanburg SC to Seattle Wa on a dedicated Union Camp account. Loved the way it pulled but damn, in the winter could not keep the inside warm. Was a cool truck, just NO insulation at all in it.
Loved Jessica doing the monologue, makeup and stuff. Looks like a diamond in the rough. That’s a nice color but I bet it’ll be hard to match up if you have to patch paint it after repairs to some spots. But first you’ll have to get it home. You know you’ve got an air compressor on the truck. Just build up air and hook a hose to the red airline and push your red button in that’ll give as much air as is in the tanks. Might take a bit but I’ve pumped up tires off mine before. Hopefully you’ll get it home next trip. I bet after being there all day y’all went and got some good southern barbecue. Stay safe
Another nice truck to add to the fleet they are beautiful looking trucks the diamonds in the rough but you’re going to turn them into well polished diamonds I’m really happy for you I enjoy every video
James bro I'm driving Freightliner 07 that sat in Canada for 3 years. Big-boss has already put new wiring harness on it now I'm back in shop for blower replacement, with load on wagon, BUT I HAVE THE BEST BOSS IN THE WORLD!!!BEING PAID DETENTION TIME FOR ALL THIS BS!Probably going to have to get new wiring harness
Good video again good job getting it running it won’t be long you will Bring it home keep up the good good work my brother look forward for another video keep them come in bro be safe
I appreciate you spending the time to get this going. I think is a beautiful tractor & it should get going on the road again. Can you get it hauling up the road at full throttle? I don' t care if it doesn't have Jakes regardless of cool it sounds? Where should I go to listen to how cool it sounds? How do i talk to you? Remember that I know nothing about big diesels & I look at you gentleman as experts on these subjects. I live in Sierra Vista Arizona & live miles from any where. If you pulled in front of my house I would be the coolest person in my neiborhood. There are a couple of people who live around me who would be so jealous because they don't have a tractor that is so rigtheousas yours. GOD BLESS YOU!
My old Freightliner had the jake switch on the floor were the old cars had their dimmer switch. I had to keep it pushed to engage it. Don't know if this one is the same, but the 1,2,3 stage switch was on the dash. 😁
I wish we could use our older trucks in California but our governor messed it up for us but Oregon is where I'm moving to thay will let me register my trucks there thank God good bye California
Добрый день, друг. С раннего детства мне нравятся грузовики, любил в детстве кататься с отцом на грузовике. Удачи в ремонте данного автомобиля. Привет из Сибири.
If that mint green metallic is the original paint, then that truck was probably bought new by Central Oregon Truck Company: their trucks are still that color.
good for you working in bad weather. A man after my own heart. Is that a DD ( just commenting on the sticker that I see on the valve cover). I personally think there is something really cool about DD not that there is any thing wrong with other diesels being that i'm not a diesel mechanic. have a good day & keep up the good work.
Hey James another great video you could give Chadd a job fixing trucks for you now his are parked up .I was shocked by his decision I really enjoyed his channel he was who turned me to check you out ,and now a keen follower ,so look forward to your next video Kym Adelaide
A seafoam green FLD? I'm in heaven...but let's get that fairing off of it. They looked sooooo much better as flat tops. Efficiency be damned for style.
Still hoping to find one in my price range. That ancient balance between, just fucked up enough to afford, and, not too far gone to fix reasonably and hit the road. Thanks again for posting. The dream is alive. 😬
I would never 👎 drive this lt needs to be junked!
Lol wow I’ll pin your comment to help give you the fame you’re looking for with that comment
Man lam in a 2023 freightliner on my way to a 2024 Peterbilt ultra loft condo this stuff needs to be off the road what fame it’s reality!
@@ReallifeTV lol enjoy your ride
The amount of money and work it would take to get it road worthy again wouldn't be worth it. It's a farm truck now.
@@BrandonLeech lol you don’t have a clue this truck is already roadworthy and for less than a months salary
I love seeing old cars and trucks brought back to life from the dead
Thanks for watching Marcus
Very cool rescue. Also. That Ford didn't even struggle for grip pulling that Freightliner out!
Nope
That’s a good tractor
I think Jessica needs to be canonized putting up with all of James shenanigans. 😂
Lol. She loves these old trucks ;) she’s amazing
Jp seems like a good old boy he's very informative about trucks. He's been around the block a few times great video James
Ya He’s a great guy. I love hearing the old stories and he’s full of insight on trucks and repairs

Thanks David. I appreciate ya
Keep up your good work my friend. Dave
Is incredible how satisfying see a truck start after years! 💪🏽 one more saved ✌️ thanks for your job James!
Appreciate ya being here
💪🏽💪🏽
Wow!!! Awesome to hear the old iron flashing up and idling, I’m “Pretty” sure you would get them to crank if they were underwater ! Gentry is a Detroit man! Good man around those . Another great one James ! Keep them coming !🇨🇦👍
Thanks Dan
I love the patina on this truck! It’s a true classic look. Hope you getr back on the road…America needs it!!! 🇺🇸
Thank you !!
Another one comes alive. Great job James. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this truck. 73's rubber side down shiny side up.
Rite on!! Appreciate ya
I love seeing these 1990s Freightliner semi trucks. It's in nice condition, just needs a cleaning. Awesome video 👍👍👍
Ya me too. Check out some more videos of it. It really becomes an awesome truck
Great job Jessica!! I love the makeup part! It is a nice looking truck on the inside considering some of the (woods trucks)
Ya it really is. Can’t wait to clean it up and make it sparkle buggy
Great video James glad to see and hear 12 come to life. Getting closer to going home. Looking forward to your next video stay safe James and Jessica.
Thanks Richard
Hey jp every morning I just wake up get on my grind and look forward to watching a brand new video from you thanks Man keep doing it for us I’m in the trucking industry out here 🇯🇲
Rite on Bob. Truck it!
You're spoiling us James and I am all for it
Hahaha thank you. Appreciate ya
Same here love it
We are getting spoiled with a video everyday :) thank you James & Jessica, love the channel.
You're welcome. they are gonna slow a bit back to normal now
get it going! I want to hear it go up the road-sounds real good-from 1992-this thing is awesome let it rip!
Fine job James! I love those flat top FLD
Me too. I love Twelve
I think a tour of the old trucks out there would be pretty cool
I’ll do that
JP needs a raise!😂😂 Good job seeing the ECM missing.
It’s funny cause I’m person I didn’t even notice he was looking. But in video you see it happen. Hahaha appreciate ya being here
I really love the flat tops! You need that one!
I did need it and now I have it :). I appreciate ya being here brad.
Hi James and Jessica, Great video showing around the truck replacing parts missing , started pretty easy no smoke . Cheers from Australia Mick.
thanks Mick
@@JamesPretty I noticed on one of video your a fan of 2 strokes what kind
@@michealgarlick6319 I like all the 92 series detroits
That was excited when it fired I'm glad it fired for you after all that work you did to it
Thanks Chris

Thanks Mike. Appreciate ya
I love your optimism.
Thanks earl
Sounded really good considering it’d been stood so long with no turbo on it 👍
Ya I believe it’s gonna be a great truck
Indeed. All it needs is a new turbo, engine overhaul, a repaint, interior restoration, and a second stack.
@@kristoffermangila the interior is
Nearly perfect and no engine overhaul necessary
@@JamesPretty that's good. But a second stack would make that FLD looks and sound better
@@kristoffermangila I totally agree
Tim Gentry knows a guy that can fix dec2 and think any other too.
Ya I talked to him. He’s gonna get me one programmed
Good job JP
Thx bro
Thanks bro
Nice tractor. Motor sounds sound. The sleeper!! Now that's executive styling. And "mint". I can't wait until Whitney's on the move! Such a beautiful machine.
Whitney’s being resistant to my charms. I gotta change a couple leaky valves and mouse ate airlines. Then it’ll be ready
Yeah, I'm in the middle of watching same day coverage of Whitney. You're working(playing) in a honey hole! I used to love walking thru a local salvage yard and dream of the possibilities. Of course I was removing what I needed for my own vehicles. Thx again, Jp!
@@user-if8nz2yo5n you’re welcome. I appreciate ya being here
I drive a 93 fld flattop 12.7l 60 series detroit I put around 30k into it. Runs amazing
They are great trucks
What an awesome looking truck, nice addition
I agree appreciate ya
Nice big rig James. Beautyfull interior and big sleeper . 👌👌👌
Yes it’s gorgeous. I can’t wait to get it home and give it a bath
Good job James nice to see another truck brought back to life.
Thanks Ron

I drove one like that from Spartanburg SC to Seattle Wa on a dedicated Union Camp account. Loved the way it pulled but damn, in the winter could not keep the inside warm. Was a cool truck, just NO insulation at all in it.
Nothing worse then a freezing cold cab
Can't wait to see 12 and 13 blowing black smoke side beside and restore I love the colors
Me too it’s a gorgeous green
Loved Jessica doing the monologue, makeup and stuff. Looks like a diamond in the rough.

Thanks Darren. Ya Jessica is a doll we’ve been having fun working out at JP’s. Was a tough couple days. Check out tomorrows video 9am eastern
@@JamesPretty Can’t wait to check it out!
I love fld’s but l love the flat tops most of all.
I think they’re just so sleek looking for a semi truck
Ya. I agree. I think I wanna take the topper off
@@JamesPretty l definitely would if l were you, the flat top fld’s just look amazing with the side skirts and the flat roof
The nicest looking American bonneted truck ive ever seen, after the mack titan, cool looking rig the fld.
Thanks kevin
Another nice truck to add to the fleet they are beautiful looking trucks the diamonds in the rough but you’re going to turn them into well polished diamonds I’m really happy for you I enjoy every video

Awesome saving 1 Freightliner at a time..

nice looking truck and for sitting in the woods for a while the inside is in nice shape

It would. It’s a great truck. Every time I drive it I love it more
Man, awesome sound. That is music to my ears. I really love Detroit Diesel Series 60.
me to they are pretty awesome
Good morning James and Jessica good job on number. 12 it seems to run great until next time be safe

I think Jessica should get her cdl and you can drive his n hers fld’s 👍🙏🏻🏴❤️🇺🇸
I’d like her to. But she’s not super interested
@@JamesPretty that’s a shame, you’d look ace rocking up at shows in a truck each 👍
I reckon Tim gentry of gentry &sons trucking would buy that freightliner of you 😉
I’d suppose he would. But I’m not in the market to sell any trucks
James bro I'm driving Freightliner 07 that sat in Canada for 3 years. Big-boss has already put new wiring harness on it now I'm back in shop for blower replacement, with load on wagon, BUT I HAVE THE BEST BOSS IN THE WORLD!!!BEING PAID DETENTION TIME FOR ALL THIS BS!Probably going to have to get new wiring harness

Good looking truck.
Thank you
Beautiful beast
Cool truck! Best shape yet. Now you’re a trucking company, Buy Chad’s and you’ll have a fleet.
I would love to buy the blue truck from Chad, But that truck needs a owner operator to love it I couldn't do it justice right now
You guys batter get JP a Steak Dinner for all the hard work he does for you.
heck ya. he deserves it for sure.
@@JamesPretty I'll be around for mine in a min.
Now I know it's a long shot but is it possible those 2 freightliners are old midland trucks from Canada
Not sure. I’ll see what kinda paperwork might be found
@@JamesPretty cool just wonder cause they had alot of those flds in that exact color
Greetings from Kazakhstan! I like the video. American tractors are strong, I like them. Quality equipment in the world
Thank you

I’m gonna pull the valve cover but I’m guessing nothing under it
I wish we could use our older trucks in California but our governor messed it up for us but Oregon is where I'm moving to thay will let me register my trucks there thank God good bye California
Nice. Rite on Ross
Looks like the truck can use a little tlc but is otherwise in pretty good shape
ya its missing some pieces but Im gonna put it back together and give it new life
Hey James new subscriber. Love the FLDs. My dad had the same truck but a 94 with a cat. Would love to see more on this!
Appreciate ya Don. These fld’s are going to be fun and they will be working trucks
I like it can't wait to see what you do to it
Thanks Billy

I believe twelves color is factory where as 13 was dark blue it appeared
another good vid ,realism at its best
thanks Michael
Nice Win, Truck sounds good.
It does. Now to get the proper ecm and it’ll be better
Make sure you got to check the blinker fluid and muffler bearings and the canucken valve
was out of blinker fluid but I topped it off
Love watching you from the UK best on CZcams
I love having you here
good for you working in bad weather. A man after my own heart. Is that a DD ( just commenting on the sticker that I see on the valve cover). I personally think there is something really cool about DD not that there is any thing wrong with other diesels being that i'm not a diesel mechanic. have a good day & keep up the good work.
Yessir a Detroit ;) appreciate ya
Most new turbo gaskets are no longer divided it doesn't make enough difference so they don't make two gaskets for the same job
Well done .. Get the brakes done.
Yep soon
Congratulations
Thx bro

Mine has 12.7
Great job that detroit looks awesome in there. You gonna run out of parking at your place lol 😆 and yes iam jealous lol
im pretty close to out of parking right now lol
sounds good
A seafoam green FLD? I'm in heaven...but let's get that fairing off of it. They looked sooooo much better as flat tops. Efficiency be damned for style.
im planning to take it off
Still hoping to find one in my price range. That ancient balance between, just fucked up enough to afford, and, not too far gone to fix reasonably and hit the road. Thanks again for posting. The dream is alive. 😬
The engine looked clean on that bad boy. But I guess clean doesn’t mean squat….
Ya it’s super clean. Runs great now it’s turning out to be a real nice truck
You will get the flat top going hellow to you an Jessica see you soon buddy
Hello Tommy Hope All is well
Love to hv that in Australia 😳😎😄

Good ol Detroit takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
Yessir. Appreciate ya David

No JP is my friend.

Sweet another video Thank You 🎉
