Good to see Aaron working
Great and interesting video right here. Can’t wait to see the next episodes where this truck is up and running. Should be good ones👍
That old Sterling with a Detroit is a good old truck but why didn't you find a single axle day cab? It would have been a lot less work tearing it down. It going to be badass no matter what.
That’s a compression bolt. They pop when you cut them lol
Aaron is making a comeback! hell yeah!!!
That episode originally are five years
Anything that Aaron does is awesome
Aaron, one bad ass MF thank you for always being a real one
Sick semi turning it into a race truck should got a peterbilt but no offense
yes they are called huck bolts they are pressed on with a hydraulic tool fun fact is there is a tool to cut them off also hydraulic.
aaron, i wanna see all your builds, even a mustdontstang or a 21' TORO LAWN CLIPPER -
cheers m8, or MI6, im confizzled
Yeah that Dmax face book page needs updated
I would start with a single axle day cab with a 6 or 7 speed allison and 4.56 gears
An older freightliner box truck with a bobbed frame to make it a single axle is a great place to start.
@HeyItsJonny I used to drive one with a 3126 6 speed. Slow as shit. Super rough ride. Air bag suspension with a 8.3 cummins would be a lot better
@Donovan Savage super slow, I drove one for matrix a while back that had a drop axle to run local stuff when full length was slow.
The trucks with the 7 speed allison and mercedes/detroits ~8L were much more tolerable.
We just use a flat piece of aluminum to drive in front seals. Never have any issues on em. I’m a dirty big truck mechanic
Look everyone if you wanna look COOL like Aaron then don't wear PPE but if you don't feel like getting your face or body burnt up, wear it.
i cringe everytime he says "This OVER THE ROAD SEMI" its a cheap day cab. it was never over the road. It was used for local work lol
This was on tv a few years back.
Not the guy that took over a year to build a twin turbo Ferrari and it was TERRIBLE 😂😂😂😂😂
That Truck was First a Ford before they sold the line out to Sterling.
He should of started with a single axel even a Freightliner fl-70 there super light
He’s a ford guy
Probably needed a class 8 frame, and he's also a ford guy.
You should have resealed the front timing cover or replaced it new they are known to leak or crack.
It was off it one part of the video then on, I'm sure they resealed it haha
I hope you made sure that series 60 has piston cooling nozzles or that engine won't last long
They all have them don't they?;
@Colin Elwin no, most of the first models don't unless ordered from the dealer.
It’s pretty easy to build a Detroit. Easily kill kitties
Why u can’t fix caption for deaf people to see ur post please turn on
Man it sucks seeing a truck being torn into something would be still useable
We have one at work that needs that dash extremely badly! It’s half plastic and half hammered out construction signs… can’t find a good one anywhere
Some people should just stay away from heavy duty. Got more money than sense.
That’s where Arron from gas monkey ended up I was wondering where he went to after he quit
That guy and his son are from the Detroit rebuild company in Ohio.
Should’ve went Cummins or cat those detroits have no low end torque
It's a race truck you want the be revving the shit out of it?
