I am a retired Paramedic fighting cancer. Your videos have something that I really enjoy keep up the good work.
Remove the Schneider National letters off the door so it'll probably start right up
Thank GOD it’s NOT Schneider orange! 🤣
LOL
😂😂😂
Part 2
You give the hard working blue collar business owners hope that hard work will prevail!! It just takes really hard work.
God bless you and your family Tim.
Hey Tim, those fuel lines are old enough that they could be collapsing inside. They'll look fine on the outside, but collapse on the inside.
We love ya Timbo!! And thank you for helping out the Cancer survivors, I survived kidney cancer back in 2006, and I watch every on e of your videos.
Can't wait for you to get back up here on I-90 here in the GREAT PACIFIC NORTHWEST
My Husband watches you faithfully and would love for you to say Hi to him. His name is Thomas. He was so disappointed because we couldn't make LS fest this year.
Sounds like the lines could be old to the point where they're sucking air through the hoses instead of fuel.
Watch this in Celle (a more than 1000 year old town in northern Germany) because I like old US Trucks and your passion!
Father inlaw had a 2000 classic with a 16 liter 3406 and an 18 speed. That was a sweet truck, and would pull like a freight train.
Don’t give Tim any more ideas. He has plenty of them as it is. 🤣😂
hey Tim watching over here from Australia love the Journey you family has taken the ups and downs and the fact you come back stronger than ever love what you do and how you do it.
Liked by another Aussie trucker !
I gotta vent this. Drove the road for a long time but also haven’t for a long time. I owned a classic xl, drove many trucks. But my favorite ever was driving for jb hunt when they had the flat floor international cab overs. They were so cool. I didn’t have one for long before the century classes came in, my other favorite truck that I hated at first, but I loved it. At the time they were paying up to .41 cpm. I think I made like .25 and it was awesome. But that was a long time ago now. I can’t even drive again if I wanted to because of a break of my left leg and foot. But hell, it’s still nice to see a big freight liner. I’ll always miss it.
Keep on riggin brother, mighty fine sons you have buy your side keep teaching them the ropes
Love watching you and your kids brax is a very special young man hes gonna do awesome things hes got so much knowledge for such a young kid
Hey Tim, glad to hear that you're all doing good. God bless you guys.
Beaten but not defeated I got faith in you get it towed home and when you unhook it the thing will probably start right up I’ve seen it happen.
When I saw you looking at the batteries I guessed six hours not 3 AM, Way to give it your all.👍🙃
Could use a bath and a good buffing on that paint clean the wheels up and chrome chrome chrome LED light ohyeah make that puppy shining like a brand new dime make it light up like a Christmas tree oh yeah
Hey Tim. Love the content and the channel.Medical issues forced me to retire, but watching you trucking and fixing up the cab overs is something I always look forward to. Keep on keepin on, brother!
Hi my name is Phil retired bus driver from the UK I love your videos try and watch all of them keep up the good work stay safe 😊 😀 phil.
Hi Tim,,,
I think the Thing-A-Ma-Jig is loose next to the What-Cha-Ma-Call-It. You'll figure it out Tim! 💯💯💯
Love watching you get all these old trucks makes me wanna drive but the money is not there. Drive safe and keep the greasy side down
I mean technically you got it started!!! Take it as a win man and not a defeat. You know it’ll start, but you just gotta figure out why it doesn’t stay running. I’ve got faith in ya!!
Hey Tim it would be awesome and really humble of u to say hi or something back to me I love ur videos and everything u do especially when it comes to being a good dad and husband. That’s my favorite part of u
Hi from New Zealand. enjoy your videos. good to see someone putting the old stuff back to work instead of all the new stuff
Something about bringing it to life is so cool 😎
Love seeing the the old workhorses getting back on the road.
Wow you went above and beyond on this one , thanks for trying to get it started and I know once you get it back to the shop you'll get it then , excellent video tonight Tim thanks for sharing your story with us !! But it will run again!!
I drove a 98 Freightliner flat top with a 63” sleeper Detroit series 60 with a 18 speed and a wet kit, all polished wheels dark blue metallic, walking floor with stainless sides.
Hi Tim thought I’d say I enjoy your posts keep up the good work. I am from The south of England.
I think once you get the truck back home it will be something small to fix. It always is when your in more relaxed surroundings all becomes clear. I have been in the motor trade since 1968 and man always wins over machine . Good luck safe journey home mate 👍
I know where a 1998 international 9800i is sitting in Southern California and it has been sitting for probably 15 years as of now. It has a 18 speed with 40k rears and a 12.7 detroit. The truck has about 400k miles on it and the owner originally intended to put it back in service but decided not to because of the upcoming carb emissions regulations at that time. I believe it was parked due to needing a clutch.
That a cabover?
Yes
@@wilE6764 yes it is,google is your friend
My dad was a long hauler until he passed away 15 years ago he would have loved your videos for sure
Awesome video Tim dont give up she will run love the old Detroit's thank again
Did you check those hots and grounds going from Batteries and going to the Computer. I used to mechanic for a truckin company And my boss had to pay 3500.00 dollars to tow one of his friegt shakers off the George Washington Bridge in NYC and He towed it home. And I had it running 5 minutes after it was there. Theres 2 hots and 2 grounds wires that go to batteries with eyes on them. And they were corroded off. Thats how those were wired the early Detroit 60 Series. But I would imagine you checked them already. I worked on alot of those classics. Great trucks...
I would love to have that cutlass ,
my friend bought a 2000 same truck as what you got there , He gave $25,000 bucks for it 4 years ago , 3 months ago he just done a out of frame engine in it a Detroit , It is really a nice ride , These guys let these trucks set at least they can do go out there and fire them up every 3 months let them run for about an hour or too , Try and take the hose from the fuel filter and stick it in a 5 gallon can of diesel and see if it runs if it stays running that way you know where to start trouble shooting
Can’t wait to see and hear the rest!!. I love the look of those years/models
I love following you'll. I finally figured out how to leave a comment.
With our old sterling trucks with the dd 60, ours would have problems not getting fuel due to the crossover for the tanks being clogged or the davao filter check valve sticking or just the orings for the davao filter being pinched/dried out etc. Hope to see it running, awesome purchase tim
crossover tanks in general, we have 8500 topkick with 7.2 cat in it and the similar things have happened. more tanks more problems
Yeah I love watching you rebuild trucks especially starting the truck has been sitting for years I love watching it very good love it keep going keep going
Love seeing you receive these old school trucks!
I seen a truck like that. Ended up being a check valve that went bad.
A fresh rebuild from a new mechanic. He ran four bottles of ether and destroyed the new engine. Another rebuild later and it still wouldn't start. So they asked my grandfather to look at it. He pulled the check valve out (little rubber ball) and it was destroyed. Let's the fuel return to the tank.
Man been watching since you got the air force cab over from bruce keep up the good videos!!
Same here, that’s what got me started on his channel, an I love the family affair of it all, but I wonder 💭 what happened to both the Airforce Truck and his brothers Marine Build.. it’s like they’re not there now… one thing about Tim… he Loves goin down “multiple” Rabbit 🐇 Holes 🕳 before finishin ONE
Watching this remembered me of my cat 3406 e that would never start and my little bro just touch the key another day and it started
Heck yeah that’s a sweet truck Tim y’all worked hard to get her going can’t wait to see you get her on the road
That truck has an interesting patina from sitting in the sun that long. I wonder how far that red paint could be restored with a buff.
Probably not at all, the clear coat looks like it's completely gone. Buffing it would likely take paint off it.
Hey man been watching since 31k subs and y’all are definitely the best truck channel
Thanks brotha
I’ve been watching his channel since the very birth of it, and it hasn’t disappointed or let me down in regards to content. Tim stands out more on how he holds himself as a person and a CZcamsr; you get the same person whether the camera is on or off. Tim’s kind of the American version of Steve Irwin, but with trucks and race cars. 😜🤣
The interior is clean. Looking forward to the next video .
Cant wait to see it run man. Love the ol classics great find
Love that you keep the old stuff on the road! The new stuff is too much. More sensors lights and alarms than any driver will ever need. I'll take what Walmart gives me though.
I've never seen an engine defeat you that old is just plain stubborn, you should call the knew Freightliner ( Miss Fit )
Or Christine? 🤭
I'm an ole retired trucker. I ran everything from a 318 Detroit to 290 Cummings. To Mercedes Benz engines. Most of the time when they would run on either but sputter off on fuel. It was some dirty fuel filters. I sure wish I was still out there. Lung disease and blindness said noooo tho
I found an old 82 freightliner cabover near where I live and if I wasn't saving up to buy a house I'd be all over it, all these videos like this and the MURICA build are definitely inspiring
check with Jamie Davis towing he's the man with all the contacts for wrecker bodies
He's in Canada that's a different country
AS the Japanese say in their ancient and beautiful language: "Keep on Trucking Senpai!"
Still has those great Original Alcoas on it👌🏻still a favorite Freightliner,Remember the brochure when we we’re at a Petro we were staying at
Yall are Amazing and don't ever forget that!! I mean that!! GOD BLESS Gentry Family!!
Pickup in the tank might be to short or parts missing , how much fuel did you put in ? My tractor needed 25 gals to start , shut the crossover off and use one tank .
You said you would drive it 500 miles home then you said it was only 250 miles home did I miss something ???????????????
Nice video Tim you did your do diligence and it's still going to make it home. You'll figure it out stay safe.
When done correctly, those are the sexiest trucks out here. I had a ex Werner truck for years before I put this Pete on the road. Great video driva.
Damn Tim you could have made the video about getting it to the house man instead of just watching them starter get put on it and little bit of work done on them the fuel system come on man make your videos longer and better
Hello from LaFayette! I enjoy ALL of your videos, and it was a pleasure meeting you and talking with you at the shop last summer. Like I told you, you're an inspiration to me and keep up the GREAT work on the channel!
I was twin stick driver of an army 10 ton 6x6 35 years ago. It was a great time! Would love to do it again. You have a great CZcams channel! Thanks, John
Brother, I love, love, love these trucks. I'm legally blind so needless to say I can't drive and certainly can't get CDL. I love watching you on your trips and I love how real and genuine you seem to be. Thanks for takeing the time to do them.
Love the show, keep up the good work.
I love will it start videos ! There are a bunch of cabovers by the road in michigan. I'll keep my eye out. I work with those 60 series detroits every day, good engines 👍
I’m sure there will be more great content coming iph this classic, keep them coming.
Great find. Will be a great piece when you are done with it.
Used to drive a truck myself and got sick I'm on disability now one of these days I'll be able to afford a beanie or a hat or something keep the videos coming I enjoy it
Porter greetings! 🇺🇸 Now that’s taking the time to go through every aspect of getting one to start. Dedication, it is. 🤩 Sorry that it didn’t start properly. At least you ended up getting another truck to drive home. I love the Freightliner Classic. They are so cool looking! 🥰 I’ve never driven one though.😢 Good teamwork. Keep us posted on this as well. 😎✌️
Always the best content 👌 can't wait for the next video!
Good looking truck can’t wait to see you get it going
That classic was surprisingly really really clean on the inside
Finding a Freightliner Classic is like finding a plate of fresh fried chi Ken on the table. When painted and polished they are awesome. Been running them for 22 years. Nothing better.
Nice looking truck Tim, good luck with it, I know you will get it running and on the road.
Appreciate the content! Keep it coming!
Love the old Iron!
Hi mate 🇦🇺
Thanks for a great channel to watch.
Got me more interested in trucks again
Cheers mate
Hey Tim, love your videos big guy! Watch your stuff all the time on the road, even if I've seen it already because truckin is how I make my living and support my family. So it's became part of my life and made me a good life so I really appreciate the videos
Awesome truck content Tim and Gentry family, love watching your videos thanks to you finally got my first project truck a 2011 KW T660 not running but I guess got to start somewhere and with these prices its crazy. keep that content coming.
Tim, love the channel. Got to meet you on the last day of Raceweek in Noble when you were trying to get loaded and on the road. I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me. Keep up the great work.
Awesome find Tim I know you can get it going
Good morning Gentry family, God bless you.
You will get it running !
The yellow Cabover with a HD wrecker bed would be pretty sweet!!
Luv watching you guys & got me a T-SHIRT 👍👍Keep up great work u do
Proud to have you back doing vids. Love your channel and it's content. Keep them coming, God bless you and your family.
Hi good to see you fixing the trucks keep up the good work 👍
I think you're going to fix that truck up for yourself you're going to love that truck it has big potential
I apply air to fuel tank vent hose with caps closed the check valve in vent hose holds the pressure. Just don’t put to much and slowly unscrew cap after it starts .
Hey guys bongo from Australia drove for 15 years love the videos awesome stuff mate.......
It’s good to see what u consider a classic!
Love all the content keep up the hard work I always look forward to the next video
Hey Tim. Watching from Denmark. Love your videos, and love following you guys, on your journey resqueing old capovers... I drive a truck here in Denmark, but it's a completely different world than what you guys are doing. And yet it is very much alike. Sorry if my spelling is not to good.
Keep up the good work
Nice find, I enjoyed driving a classic. I ran one for a year while I worked on my Western Star.
Awesome channel guys! Love it! All the best!
Love the videos so keep up the great work! Go G&S trucking
Tim-blessings to you and your family and business-great content!
