Hi Kurt. From a 30 year CAT tech. Please have the overhead run. And your thinking that a jake break uses more fuel. That's a myth. The ECM doesn't fire the injectors when the jake is activated. Fuel goes from the back of the head return to the tanks. You may have a brief puff of smoke when the jake is activated. But as long as the jake is active....the ECM will NOT fire the injectors. All fuel in the rail in the head is routed through the return to the tanks till you knock off the jake with the pedal...clutch ...brake application during cruise enabled...questions......ask me
I thank you Sir, for in this world it seems as people are afraid to offer advice! I personally would gladly accept advice from a tech, as I would also express my opinion or knowledge of a subject that could help others. GILBERT ALICEA NYC
I miss the early 80’s when we could pull that plug out the back of the mechanical pump on a Cummins and put a hard spring in there to open that Governor up. Seeing a Cabover GMC with a Shiney 290 sitting between two Big cattle trucks running 80 in a 55 between El Paso and San Antonio was a sight !
@truckingwithschmidt7120 Kurt fix that 3 position switch on the dash. There ain't no cackle if she is hitting on all six .should be nice smooth jake out the pipes. .. now that we have shamed you to get the overhead run.... full Jake's are a tune up away.... if it wasn't for the fake EPA choking diesel ENGINES. CAT would still be in the on road diesel choice....ok you can hate me now driver. Lool
I could listen to the C16 engine every evening to fall asleep. Smooth and sophisticated like a BMW inline 6 cylinder and strong like a Caterpillar bulldozer 😊
Thanks for the tour. Your kids are so involved with activities and they should be grateful that you work so hard to attend them. Good man Mt. dork. Havagudun, stay safe.
It’s always sad to think 🤔 of the great buildings and how they looked and what was in the shops. I hope it’s documented and glad it’s remembered. I was so sad about “Sheets in the Wind” crown 👑 I have all the bands that my dad had to wear to his chemo and proton therapy, made me sad and cry.. I miss him so much.. he didn’t die from that cancer, he BEAT ITS BUTT‼️ Uber Dad too! 👍I am smiling now 🙂 thank you Paige and friends for the wonderful singing of our national anthem 🇺🇸 I hope you got to keep the ball Schmidt ⚾️🧢🏟️
Joe from New Jersey!! Kurt thank for the tour of first class!! I remember when i had mysmall sleeper couldnt stand up!! Got a newer bigger truck and it was heaven be safe as always see you next time😅😊
HELLO KURT FANTASTIC VIDEO I ENJOYED THE WAY YOU EXPLAINED THE TRUCK INTERESTING BEAUTIFUL RIDE TOO ! OPIE IS A SMOOCH POOCH 🐾🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾KURT YOU & FAMILY ARE AMAZING !! BE BLESSED BE SAFE !! 🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂 PURE AWESOMENESS ON END OF VIDEO !! ✊✊👍👍
Kurt go to home depot or Lowe's and buy roll of aluminum bubble foil insulation. Cut that to size and fit in your windows on the inside.That will reflect the heat back. People in campers use it all the time.🎉
Schmidt you have great kids, Love the kids color pictures. I have an ice box covered in them myself (Granddaughter’s). There the coolest. If you ever have to change trucks You will miss that C-16. One improvement in Later Model Trucks to me are the disc brakes and air ride front axles have improved. Engine, I prefer the older mechanical Cats. My understanding the C-16 was way better than C-15. 3406B was my favorite though.
@@truckingwithschmidt7120 the owner went to jail for illegally dumping paint cans and a bunch of other miscellaneous hazmat garbage. They are also known for selling overpriced trucks. But I don’t know if there’s any lawsuits against him for that.
Let us know how the shots are doing. My dog is nine and has lower back pain. She is on pain meds but it seems like they wear off fast before another is due.
BTW Kurt, I do believe that the National Anthem is considered "public domain" and should not be subject to copyright violations. But IANAL and I'm certainly not a CZcams screener.
I’m a big guy too 6’2” 300 and I was never comfortable in a truck I could touch the other window handle. I looked like a science experiment let loose on the people of America so no 379 in my future. The No water isn’t good for his liver. You don’t want a juandicey German. That’s a small space.haha
My parents had a GMC cabover in the 80s, talk about tiny! National anthem! Damn onion ninjas snuck though my 5th wheel I find football and basket ball boring
Hey Kurt, speaking of First Class could you explain the shifting of the eighteen gears sometime. You make it look so easy after all of the years, but it would be interesting for us novices to see the complexity. Thank you, love your videos from a long time subscriber.
I did enjoy the tour. Thank you for that. And Paige did an awesome job with the SSB. Every time I hear it it makes me proud to be an American. How long have you owned First class? You may have said and I didn't catch it. Y'all safe out there.l
Just FYI: you can make curtains for all the windows, you can get black out curtains at either WM, Dollar General, or Family Dollar, and you can get extra strength velcro at HD, or Lowes.
Kurt I don’t know if it’s you or CZcams controlling this but I had 14 commercials I had to sit through on a 24 minute video. That’s a commercial every two minutes. Does anyone else deal with this??
If you got that truck from who and where I think. The guy got caught dumping old tires and debris all over his neighbors property to lower the value so he could buy the property for less. Yep he had some troubles
I checked Google if anyone owns the rights to The Star Spangled Banner. The results were.. Short answer: Nobody. Longer answer: The Star-Spangled Banner used the tune to 'To Acheron In Heaven', an English drinking song. The lyrics were written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812. The copyright protection would be long since lapsed, so nobody can own the copyright. Not even CZcams can get mad over it.
You and your wife have done such a great job raising your children.
1st class man , father, trucker, content creator, philosopher.
Lol
I was sold at C-16. Always wanted one.
Jelly Bryce , cool handle check out Delf (Jelly) Bryce, he was a famous Agent from way back.
Very nice video. Loved the National Anthem!

Thanks, ya I don't use the Jake's because I'm just not a fan of the cackle. Shhhh don't tell anyone that though lol.
@truckingwithschmidt7120 looool driver love your CAT. It's a road legend
I miss the early 80’s when we could pull that plug out the back of the mechanical pump on a Cummins and put a hard spring in there to open that Governor up. Seeing a Cabover GMC with a Shiney 290 sitting between two Big cattle trucks running 80 in a 55 between El Paso and San Antonio was a sight !

Loved the singing of the Anthem -- Thanks!
Sometimes it's better having an older truck. More room to work on the engine and less electronics to fix
I could listen to the C16 engine every evening to fall asleep. Smooth and sophisticated like a BMW inline 6 cylinder and strong like a Caterpillar bulldozer 😊
Awesome video Kurt. Thank you for sharing.👍👍👍
That Aerosmith song at the baseball game is quite triggering to a lot of people nowadays 😂😂
Great video..
Thanks for the tour!
Safe travels to you and Opie✌🏻
Thanks for the tour. Your kids are so involved with activities and they should be grateful that you work so hard to attend them. Good man Mt. dork. Havagudun, stay safe.
They are I think
Kurt I know you got plenty going on but you should have some pictures of the front porch man she is rough😂😂
Thank God you finally moved those paper towels!! LOL great video thanks for the first-class delivery on the t-shirt!!
I have always said, "Baseball is a cure for insomnia."
Hi Kurt, if you had a refrigerator you could bring food from home
Safe money on food and eat healthy..God bless.. Safe travels ❤️🙏🌹
Tator Tot rocks!! Living in California I sure miss those Cats. Especially the 3406E engines. That sound at idle of a Cat purring is special.
the kids did so good on the National Anthem
Hey Kurt another great video. Glad to see opie getting around good.
That Kurt was a beautiful rendition very well done 🇺🇸👍
Love the tour.
Wonderful Kurt! Thank you!!!
Be on the look out Kurt, it looks like Iowa is under tornado warnings. Watching Ryan y'all.

Thanks Ken
Outstanding video once again. 😊
Hi Kurt and Opie
Ohio truck sales, Sandusky, OH. Right when you said that person is in jail, I knew!
Is he in jail? I heard they got busted finally
@@truckingwithschmidt7120 the owner went to jail for illegally dumping paint cans and a bunch of other miscellaneous hazmat garbage. They are also known for selling overpriced trucks. But I don’t know if there’s any lawsuits against him for that.
I love that trk Kurt always have always will
Have you thought of air suspension? I was so happy when all our models went on air.
Thanks for the tour and the surprise ending.
Interesting truck info
nice video . thanks for sharing the singing. nice to see young people have still got some respect
❤
Great truck! And baseball is boring...hahaha Except when there's a home run.
Try an air ride front end
Great video thank you
What brand are your new glasses? I really like them lol. I got an eye doctor appointment soon and is why im asking lol

Have you repaired the leaky roof yet 🤔
Let us know how the shots are doing. My dog is nine and has lower back pain. She is on pain meds but it seems like they wear off fast before another is due.
Kurt, Do you float the gears or use the clutch to shift. Thanks for all the fun videos
Float
BTW Kurt, I do believe that the National Anthem is considered "public domain" and should not be subject to copyright violations. But IANAL and I'm certainly not a CZcams screener.
No one owns copyright on the Star Spangled Banner! Carry on, boss !!!
That opine look
Great video, great ending. I of course thought that you had trimmed your beard, and that was the surprise. Beautiful singing by Paige!
I’m a big guy too 6’2” 300 and I was never comfortable in a truck I could touch the other window handle. I looked like a science experiment let loose on the people of America so no 379 in my future. The No water isn’t good for his liver. You don’t want a juandicey German. That’s a small space.haha
Thanks for the tour of first class and tator tot did a great job with the national anthem
👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks James
Is that you first truck?
NHRA DRAGRACING IS A BADASS SPORT OR INDY RACING
Chip off the old block from Uber Dad with the sweets.Btw how's his on and off diet?😅
I agree with you.. I don't like baseball ,
what brand power inverter?
You forgot the chocolate milk....they have the best..
I'm not a big fan of Kwik Stars chocolate milk.
Where is the refrigerator?
👍✌👊💙
Kurt, do you have some kinfolk in Trumbull Nebraska area?
Not that I know of .
Are you sure you not driving in Pennsylvania kurt
My parents had a GMC cabover in the 80s, talk about tiny!
National anthem!
Damn onion ninjas snuck though my 5th wheel
I find football and basket ball boring

He is smooth on the stick. Probably one of the best I have seen on CZcams.
Kurt next time you and opie are in fremont ne. At sapp’s please let me know would like meet you both
It's been a long time since we've been there
@@truckingwithschmidt7120 there is always a chance
I did enjoy the tour. Thank you for that. And Paige did an awesome job with the SSB. Every time I hear it it makes me proud to be an American. How long have you owned
First class? You may have said and I didn't catch it. Y'all safe out there.l
I think it's been 7 years now.
Just FYI: you can make curtains for all the windows, you can get black out curtains at either WM, Dollar General, or Family Dollar, and you can get extra strength velcro at HD, or Lowes.
A great ending to a good video👍
Kurt I don’t know if it’s you or CZcams controlling this but I had 14 commercials I had to sit through on a 24 minute video. That’s a commercial every two minutes. Does anyone else deal with this??
That's definitely alot. CZcams decides how many. We used to be able to pick some options, buts it's all in thier hands now.
I WATCHED & ONLY HAD 2 THATS STRANGE !!
If you got that truck from who and where I think. The guy got caught dumping old tires and debris all over his neighbors property to lower the value so he could buy the property for less. Yep he had some troubles
I absolutely love kwik trip food.
And that's Kwik Trip with a K, not to be confused with Quick Trip with a Q.

Did trucking together give up the CZcams thing lol
Why does your windshield look like it has frost around the edges?
A lot of rain. It's creeps in the seal and fogs it.
Hi
Hello Connie
Baseball for me is a great game - if I'm playing it. I cannot watch it.
