Waiting for the International you have... What's about this one Bruce??
I've had a truck like that and it's a money pit don't buy it scrap price
@@ronseasyfixjustdoit5098 they are all money pits just like anything else hot rods boats houses ect ect lol
That's what I like about you dude, you're not afraid to listen to more experienced people on a subject you're not 100% familiar with. Loving the content man. Keep it up!
Easy way to check the oil on a detroit- if it's leaking, it has oil. if the leaks stop, add more oil,
czcams.com/video/9CS7j5I6aOc/video.html
Or just pull in a truck stop to fill up oil and check fuel level like we did back in the day 😂
That's how I check the oil on my galaxy 🤣🤣
🤣🤣😭
Had to take down a pic of the wall of a detroit powered KW, oil puddling on the floor.
Screamin' Jimmies are near impossible to kill. You have a good engine. If nothing else, buy it for the engine. It's a lot of work, yes, but it's also a solid mill that's going to make an amazing roar and it deserves to roar again!
look 4 comments above ☝
@@doughay9742 what it say?
also yes, detroits are like 2jz's they are tough as fuck
a guy tried to blow up a 16v detroit, and it took a while to die, had he kept oil in it it wouldnt have died, but it shot a rod out the side of the block
all 80hp screaming and just blowing the oil out as fast as you can pour it in.
unless you have stuck injectors and go starting the thing and it runs away on you then screaming jimmie comes out and shows his ugly side something that would of sure of happened if he got it started the last time
@@79tazman what
I'm glad to see he listens to the people and admits that this is a learning curve for him and takes it in stride. And I'm really glad that after taking time to cool off he decided to give the truck another shot well done sir, you have earned my respect.
Kudos for revisiting this beast, after reading the comments. You’re making the channel into an interactive adventure!
Holy crap a youtuber that actually listens to their comments!
Could not agree more!
IKR
Only when they're actually onto something. Otherwise I'm sure all the "kill yourself" comments would have done him in already
Absolutely right, coz every video i've seen of bruce, he always listens to the comments and "actually" puts them to good use, case in point, this freightliner, the day bruce decided not to buy it, people in the comments section started to give him advice and ideas to get it running, and he listened to those advice and got the truck running.
Vanilla I know right
It takes some thick skin to read through thousands of negative comments and not let it bog you down. Good on you for coming back and giving it a second try. Loving all of your truck videos. Hope you can come to a fair agreement with the owner on this one. Would love to see it live again. Keep up the good work.
She's got a lot of potential Bruce. If I had the opportunity to buy myself an old classic like that I would. Then turn it into one badass COE!
What amazed me is that this truck only took it 1 click to start it, no air intake issues. Sounds really healthy even though it hasn't been rebuilt yet👍. That truck deserves a full restoration indeed
Glad to see you didn't give up on this piece of trucking history.
Sometimes things are history for a reason.
You triggered a lame conventional truck lover
I learned about the fuel racks from Deboss. A very helpful thing to know on these old Detroits. We all learn something even when we think we’ve learned it all.
Love the vids here in the U.K. I’m from a truck family but never drove myself but love seeing these old girls run again
I am glad you pulled the valve covers to check the fuel racks. If even one injector is stuck trying to start a Detroit without checking the fuel racks, or rack if it is a 6-71, you are almost guaranteed a runaway. I have learned a lot from following Scott at his "The Bus Grease Monkey" You Tube channel. His son Tyler also works on vintage Detroits, and he has his own channel called Indiana Diesel. Between the two of them they have forgotten more about Detroit Diesels than most people still around ever knew. They both on the 71 series Detroits and the 92 series. Most of these engines are installed in vintage buses, but Scott has also worked on a pair of Detroits in a boat, an old GMC crackerbox, and a '57 GMC flatbed truck. You should also check that the governor is operational and the emergency shut off valve is working.
Exactly what Mike Mullay said. Those channels are a wealth of knowledge about Detroits.
@Mike Mullay - In fairness, I believe that Bruce _did_ check and try, the emergency shut-off flapper (in this video). Thanks-
That's what I said him not getting that thing running was a blessing because that thing would of ran away on his ass all would of had to do was watch Bus Grease Monkey to learn how to wake up a sleeping detroit and how to unstick stuck injectors but some folks like to learn the hard way
It wouldn't damage it running full rack. They are damn near invincible, when a Detroit truly runs away is usually when they they get the oil so hot that they start running off of the oil leaking passed the pistons and that is an event to see.Or any matter where un-metered fuel enters the chamber. They will scream well over 5000rpm with oil entering the chamber and this is when you see flames coming out of the exhaust and bellowing smoke as far as you can see. But running full rack will definitely scare you and make you panick but it's not a runaway, it's just sitting at a governed rpm. These 2 strokes sound like they are revving high but they are under 3000rpm. Heck they sound like 3000rpm at 1500.
Not only did he listen to a few but it’s obvious he spent some time researching the Detroit start up after being idle for many years.
that was after he tried to fire it up not knowing the first time it was a blessing it did not start because it he could of had a run away if those injectors were stuck open
@@79tazman as I've said before it's not a run away. It sounds like it is but it's only running full rack. Like starting a car at full throttle. A run away is a non governed source of fuel which brings the rpm well beyond 5000rpm often shooting flames out the exhaust and tons of oil and soot.
Andrew Bartleman you are absolutely right. It would probably damage the engine but a runaway is even more scary and dangerous.
Diesels to not have a firing order, natually aspirated or aspirated the air in the cylinders is compressed to the point it heats to about 1000 degrees, then sprayed w/ fuel and combustion, they will sometimes roll back and fire, running backwards.
Dennis Brown they still do that in a certain order.
My company still uses a 73 cabover non sleeper as a yarddog. It has a 8v71 unknown mileage. Still starts right up!!!!
Does it still have that loud ass Low Air Buzzer?
Great watching, just totally admire what you are doing. I'm neither a truckie or mechanic but love big rigs and especially the resto work you do.. Regards from down under New Zealand.
Can't wait to see the the old international cabover complete
good you did coming back and did read the comments people did write you.
I’m glad you gave it an honest effort. Those old Detroit’s are worth the work. There really aren’t a lot of them left because of all the idiots making them intentionally run away just to see the fire ball. If I could find one here in Texas I’d buy it in a heartbeat
One of the best thoughts about my dad being a good diesel truck mechanic is that there are still fitters out there who are working because he trained them so well.
And yes, he started an apprenticeship at the age of 13 and had plenty of old 2 strokes run backwards on him and plenty of engines with faulty governors.
He died in 2009 but I can still remember having long conversations with him about dry liners on Perkins and Gardner engines on UK trucks. He would have loved all these channels on YT.
Your my hero haha I’m 22 and people like me and you are instinct trying to revive old iron. Keep the good content coming !!
I’m on the fence I would sure love to see a two-stroke build, but a hell of a lot of work ahead. With some great learnings no doubt.
The fact you listen to comments has me givin this channel a million thumbs up!! You have my respect brother!
I love that you read your comments and take sound advise. I'm becoming true fan of your channel. Thank you!
You gotta buy this thing
Thank you for checking the injectors. Detroit's are pretty easy to work on really. A full inframe overhaul sending the heads out for rebuild, new sleeves and rings and rod berings about $4500. Around $1800 clutch and pressure plate kit. $4500 or so for tires. Definitely pull the oil pan and inspect all quite basic really. Starting that easily after 20 years suggest it was cared for when it was on the road. I really love the Detroit engine.
By the way it is typically a 4, 6 volt battery setup as the 6 volt batteries offer more cranking capasity.
I'd love to get an old rig, but the costs would break me in a month and I'd want it for show, not working.
@Roll Roll Yes, I guess if you have a good channel, you can make a bit of $$. Better than nothing.
@@crushingvanessa3277 you would find it near impossible to find anyone willing to lease on a 1973 anything, lol. I love the Detroit's though.
Glad you listened and didn't give up. There's no shortage of knowledge available on these old engines, and cleaning that rig up should pay dividends to you.
Great job, bruce. It takes a bigger man to back off regroup and hit the challenge a second time. And you did great. I definitely agree not worth 4k but definitely worth alittle bit above scrap price for sure.
Good luck, good job, and safe journey bother.
Spring loaded rack on 8v92 if one injector gets stuck the rest can go to idle
Good work on getting it going and taking everyones advice. Lucky you didn't get it going last time as it would of run away! Not sure what it's worth but if you can get it for a better price that would always be good.
Well done mate. For getting it started, but mostly for reading others feedback and doing the research 👍
I am so glad that you are willing to admit when you are wrong.you took some advice from somebody who commented and I am so glad that you listened to that person and checked things out before starting engines. Adjust means you're willing to learn more stuff then you already know
Pull the injector. Spray with pb blaster in the tiny hole near the top of the injector And tap on the top with a plastic or rubber malat. If it sprays out the bottom then u got it free unstuck.
Actually when you series batteries you double the voltage not the cranking ampe. When you parellel batteries you double the cranking amps. So a series parellel set up, you double the voltage once and double the cranking amps once. From 12 to 24 volts and from 1000 to 2000 amps
Proud of you for listening..... and pulling the covers off and checking the racks & injectors. I remember when most of the 4 cycle diesel truck engines were still NA... as were the 2 cycle Detroits, and the "little" 2 cycles would "walk all over" the 4 strokes in the grades... loaded. I've owned three semi's (a 69 Pete & two Ext. hood "A" model KW's) during my years as an Owner Operator (& own authority), and all three were 12-71 powered, but I "built" them to marine specs.... was also involved with the Lady Butterfly sled pulling truck (74 Ext. hood "A" model KW) with a 12/71 which I wrenched on.
I formally studied Diesel Engine Design & Theory (prep for R&D) back in the 1960's (63 to 67) for four years, my last three of which were directly under P. Nicholas who was one of the lead designers of the very first 2 cycle GM Diesel (the prototype was a 4-71), so that training served me very well in understanding, "building" and maintaining the Detroits, even though I was never a "parts changer" (mechanic), myself... as far as working at it for a living.
Many people have (and still do) "bad mouthed" the 2 cycles... calling them "gutless", "torque-less", etc, etc, etc.... ALL of it spoken by people who are "Clueless".... or, more kindly... completely devoid of any real knowledge (re: understanding) of the engine itself. The fact of the matter is, they were (and still are) Far more efficient in turning fuel into power, than ANY 4 cycle diesel produced.... on far less displacement.
@2Stroke Diesel Power - Check for a double/duplicate post here. Thanks-
Just started the video but I had to pause it to tell you how awesome it is that you listened to your viewers. 👍
Love the content. Those old 2 stroke Detroits are rare. Get him to drop the price and have both. That one and the one you are about to get in Florida.
dude you should really buy that truck not many people on youtube do these old freightliners and everybody dose petes and kenworths i think you should keep your channel different an go with the harder project it would look sick all cleaned up and everbody got to love those old freightshakers
They dont do then because there junk and not worth shit needs a Cummins that motor is a boat
Yep! Put some duel 5" open pipes on the exhaust so that 2-cycle Detroit can be heard screaming for miles.
Make Detroits Great Again bruce I’m doing the same with my old 8V92TA in australia 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
There's a reason for that, freightliners are junk
@@inmotion81 just cause u see more Cummins doesn't mean there better bra I have too brockway a big cam and a 12v71 both great never any problem
Bruce, I really enjoy your channel, especially ”will it start”. I have never worked on a car other than basic stuff, but you make it so interesting and I learn so much. As they say, the key to success in U-tube is, post, post, post, etc. I feel a TV show coming your way. Best wishes from the Chicago suburbs. 2020 will be a good year. Brian
Bruce,ive learned alot about big trucks and diesel engines. Thanks for the great job!
Good to see you went back to start the Detroit!
THANK GOD!! I was hoping you wouldn’t give up on this beast!
I am looking forward to seeing this truck shine. you can probably do a whole series on this truck explaining what each part does as you recondition or replace it.
I love the sound of an old diesel. You rock by not giving up. LOVE IT
Check the emergency shut down at the intake manifold, also make sure she is primed
Not quite 4000 amps though. When you’re connecting batteries in series you are increase the voltage but not increasing the overall ampHour capacity, when you connect batteries in parallel it is the opposite. You have 2 sets of batteries in parallel so what you have is 24V and ~2000CCA
I was just fixing to say the same thing.
Yep, I posted the same thing before I realized someone else did.
Exactly! Everyone should know that😂
Add me to the list of those who actually know how basic electricity and battery principles work.
I too was thinking this
Props buddy. Glad you listened to everyone and saved this beast.
Awesome man! Thanks for heeding advice and being humble, not a quality you see in many mechanics these days. We’re all new to different engines & platforms at some point. I hope Detroit’s become something you love.
Proud of you for listening..... and pulling the covers off and checking the racks & injectors, though using a hammer and doing it the way you did, is quick way to bend the injector control rods. Also, you had the correct number of batteries (hopefully of the correct starting CCA's as well), but you connected them wrong. They should have been connected in series for 12V, Not 24Volts. There is a Series Parallel Switch (located close to the rear of the battery box) that will boost the Voltage to 24V when the key is turned to the Starting Circuit.
The fuel tanks should have been drained, and some fresh fuel added, as well as the primary and secondary fuel filters replaced and primed.... or at least primed with fresh fuel, and all the fuel lines checked for hardening and splitting after sitting for so long. Also, I doubt that, that freightliner is a "73" unless it was repowered at some point, because DD did not even introduce the Series 92 until 74.
I remember when most of the 4 cycle diesel truck engines were still NA... as were the 2 cycle Detroits, and the "little" 2 cycles would "walk all over" the 4 strokes in the grades... loaded.

Awesome to hear from someone in the know.
Nobody wants to hear your life story about going to school and name dropping. Apparently you have no accomplishments to mention. Funny how you're so full of yourself and look down on real mechanics, calling them parts changers. Meanwhile all you did was maintain them apparently. What did you do work in factory "building" them? That's dummy work.
@@Snarf_Le_Wombat.... Apparently you lack comprehension in reading abilities, so I will not bother to respond in full to you, nor am I obliged to, except to say that you're totally incorrect on all counts. Have a nice day.
Bruce calls Iceman:
“Hey Iceman, you wanna come back out to that old cabover? I got more batteries!”
Iceman’s phone: *click*
SurfGreenTelecaster lol. True
Props for taking the advices and starting it the right way !!!!! Greetings from Québec !!
I , ( many yrs ago ) , used to drive a White Road Commander , powered by a Jimmy , it was Awesome , and hauling 40 ton pay load of raw coal was no trouble to the rig and its Power plant ; I also had a 13 R R Box . Good Luck with the White , Great trucks , ( in my opinion ) !
I'm 15 and I love to work on those old Detroit engines but the only problem is cussing and throwing wrenches lol
@Ron Jeremy me too
I knew you would get it started. If you purchase it you will find it is a 12 volt system. You would need to check the starter to see if it is 24 volts. If is 24 volts then the truck had a series parallel switch at the battery box. But if the starter is 12 volts then it had 3 or 4 batteries wired parallel to the starter. Also the way it started and died I am guessing it needs fuel filters.
Yep, the speed that was cranking on 24v seems it is a 12v system. It ran on the fuel that was still in the head but had lost it's prime plus it wasn't running on all 8. $4K is a driver in my neck of the woods.
I'm glad to see you not give up on the cabover my late father had on just like this one but it was all black with orange yellow and red wide strips in a backward z pattern with lots of crome. Lol
Please save this truck it is awesome, I remember when they were on the road don't see em like that anymore. Sweet truck!
Bro turned around fast like there was going to be a wreck lmao. #shoplife
She does need some work but she's a rare find now days at that age but I bet she will give you some really nice content.
A+ for you listening to people trying to help! That is for the entertainment!
I would absolutely love to see this truck fully restored, kudos for listening 👍🏻
I’m glad you didn’t give up on this beauty! I was excited and genially disappointed in the last vid when you didn’t want to peruse the project
He never had a video where he wasn't interested.
Are you trying to become a fleet owner ? Watching you trying to start that beast, reminded me of the movie Young Frankenstein. As Dr Frankenstein is trying to give the monster enough energy to start. With Igor throwing the switches and everything....LOL
She's defiantly a restoration candidate if you are willing to put the work into it. She needs a lot of love but she can see the asphalt again with the right owner. I am glad to see you didn't give up, good on ya!
Вы настоящий специалист. Все делаете со знанием дела. Спасибо за то. что показываете весь процесс оживления. You are a true specialist. Do everything competently. Thanks for that. that show the whole process of revitalization.
Bruce,
Good Job going back and getting her started . Yes it’s rough , but if you can get her for a deal it’s definitely worth saving. Detroit’s are tougher than nails , just don’t get her hot. If you decide to take her definitely look into the Bus Grease Monkey. He is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for the videos!!!
back with a banger
I don’t even like trucks but you have somehow made me obsessed with old cabovers and idk how but I love it
I am so glad you guys did not give up on it hopefully you get a good deal so you guys can fix it up and put it back on the road
That’s a beaut ol cabover you should try your best to get her running that’d be one hell of a show truck
Duuuuude don't put a spanner on top of the batteries like that unless you're looking to weld the spanner to the battery! Your angry pixie maths is off, you don't get double current capacity when wiring in series, only in parallel, so 2 925 CCA batteries in series still only give you 925 CCA, but at 24V instead of 12V. So with four 12V 925 CCA batteries in a 2x2 configuration of parallel and series, you'd have about 1850 CCA @ 24V, still a pretty beefy amount of current though!
Angry pixie math 🤣🤣🤣
Yep dood ya right ...l how do I know ??? Coz many moons ago I had a new snap on extension roll across the terminals and sparks.flew off of the battery and it tried welding itself to the posts .
Never done that again and never leave a spanner on the battery in case it gets knocked or slips against the terminals
Dead on! Path to disaster at the beginning of video. And also dead on with the CCA parallel increases CCA. Not Series. Dead on response jamesinc87!
Haha I was looking for this comment
Heck I did that with just a single 12v car battery, friend hit the wrench and it blew the tip off.
Muito bom assistir seus vídeos. Ligando os caminhões parados há muito tempo e reformando eles. Muito bom. Abraços...
I from Brazil
Enjoyed watching you learn and achieve the start on this.
Hows the other cabover going? @brucewilson
Liked, already know it's a good one
Bruce welldone for working to get the truck started, you are a fighter...
You gotta get this one. The transformation will be amazing. I’m looking forward to it.
Dude, im so glad to see that you went back and got the big girl started. I sub'd after seein you do it and took the advice of your viewers, much respect to you for that and admitting you were wrong. As far as the truck goes, your right, shes rough and 4k may be a lil steep for her. If you dont end up buyin her, plz reach out as i can give her a good home here in Florida.
Now thats a truck
Alexander Battaini it is a truck nice!!! 😂
No its a turd
I love these cabover videos makes remember growing up with my deddy hauling houses with his cabover freightliner
Who did your dad haul horses for Dustin?
@@markholland6133 he hauled houses for a company called crestline homes
@@dustinsewell4582 Cool bud, miss read. Always great memories.
Finally a CZcamsr that listens!!! that old girl is thankful you came back one more time to give her another chance
Love this channel
Sounds beautiful Bruce old time dash buzzer. Do your magic fix that beauty. Not worth 4 grand but worth fixing
These are some of my favorite engines! It was super cool seeing this thing come back to life!
Good on ya for starting the old girl, it would be cool to see you restoring it👍
BUY IT BRUCE!!!!!!
I would purchase it, she just needs some tender loving care and she'll be like new again.
Super glad to see you up there again
Thanks sooo much Bruce! Congratulations on 300k
gotta agree with people, buy her and rebuild her.
Does that apply to woman too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One thing about detroits, no oil under em, no oil in it.
Facts
They developed leaks and slobber oil out the exhaust cause people using multi grade oil like 15-40 they are designed to run straight weight oil ike sae 40 or 30 depending on temperatures but in Florida straight 40 weight will do it fine.
Just like some of the Belarus/ MTZ tractors I work on for guys, if it's not pissing oil out it needs servicing urgently. You can spend 2 days fixing leaks and 2 weeks later they are right back again to. L.O.L
Same thing with a NorthStar engine.
I was looking for this comment when he was talkin about oil being in it
@Bruce Wilson - Yesterday, you got ate alive in the comments, for the previous video on this truck - Today, you came back with humility, patience, persistence and, courage (and a little education); keep at it!
Now, if you do wind up leaving this truck behind and, forfeiting your deposit; it won't have been a total loss.
Cheers-
Great work Bruce, hope you get a deal on it.detroits have a unique sound and it is a nice looking truck.
Mire los 2 videos del camión sin entender nada de lo que hablan pero me interesan ver cómo encienden esos motores 👍👍🇦🇷🇦🇷
Every one does peterbilts and such not often to see a white freightliner. Its in good shape. Dont just give up the old girl. She has life in her and the fact she started is saying she wants to live.
2 strokes are awesome u should def Buy it they sound amazing
I’m sure glad you listen to your comments! When I saw the first video and you didn’t check the injector rack, I thought I was going to see a sweet Detroit diesel runaway video! LOL it’s actually a good thing you didn’t have enough battery to crank it over!
More videos
Oh i know that feelng when you are excited and you only get 1 bold of and have to wait for other videos, goonzquad and chrisfix are now my favorite car youtube channels
