That's a clean install, the days of driving the Mack will be long over lol, you've got the power of todays newer trucks with the reliability of a mechanical engine.
@@adammoe2061 Whats funny. I’ve straight up flew past the new volvo with supposedly “600hp” in my Cat 3406E 550 horse. I’ve also passed teucks with the newer Cummins “X15” that are supposedly the hottest thing out. CAT still wins
@@josefastboats5874 yes I have a Cummins ISX 15 that’s the slowest bitch ever. The funny thing with Cummins is that there is 3 different types of ISX engines. Performance, efficiency, and productivity series. Most people think all ISX is the same and that’s how Cummins marketing screws the consumer.
Just had a platinum overhaul on my C15, new cam, new front gears, and various other parts. Spendy, but i absolutely love it. Getting about 57-58 lbs of boost! CAT is the only way to go lol
I’ve been getting caught up on your videos and I just pulled a 3406b I had in the shop out to rebuild and swap into my truck with a big cam 😂 so glad I’m not the only one.
Sweet engine swap! Congrats on getting Old Red back on the road, going like a scalded Cat! Looks like that engine should serve you well, hopefully for many years to come.
It is good to see that your back. The B model cat is a great engine I hope that you get as good as service out of that one as I have on my 7FB in my 84 Pete.
Good luck bro. Yea. Probably 35 grand for motor. Been their. Now my 1987 early model 379 x hood. Classic. Has now kta 450. Beef up 650 horse 🐎 😋 🤪 yup. Was full eater now with. Well I'm old. I had 18 speed auto put in. Used my ssi check lol.i drive part time my boys run business 35 rigs
You know why it costs so much? Because it's worth it! Good luck with the cat. I have a b series in my 90 pete doing local dump work lots of stop and go and it's been pretty much trouble free.
You gotta get the AC working in that Yota 😆. I had an extended cab one that I fully restored engine wise and that 22RE was the best little engine that could
Following the build on big red from your first video. Great channel that has different content from the other builds. Big red was turned from the ashes into one hell of a work truck that can do what it was built to do. Bring home the green backs.
Love the kitty. Red now sounds as good as she looks. My experience with Cat is that you pay more up front but in the long run they are cheaper to run. 🙂
I know an old timer who's 98 pete with a cat in it is on the verge of 2 million miles and never been opened up, not even for injectors. I think that truck will last you a life time Ezra, especially with how you take care of your equipment. Definitely happy the old girls back in your hands and making you money.
Rare to find such a good install on a retrofit like that from a shop. Never exactly the way you'd do it yourself, but looks like they treated you right. I like a BigCam, but a 3406B is pretty good too! At that power level I'd keep fresh rod bearings in it, my experience with turned up B's is that they wear the rod bearings fairly quick because the B's use a narrow rod journal. Cool to see Old Red back at work and faster than ever.
I love the big Cam Cummins motors but those old cats are awesome too. Looks like a nice job of installing and it sounds like its running smooth. Best of luck with the Pete, she's pretty much a new truck now. 👍
I know as an independent business it hurts when the bill is bigger, but that big cat should serve you well for many miles. And as a gearhead, man it sounds good in ol red. Beautiful truck.
Ezra buddy I had to laugh..." I really don't need 600Hp" are you kidding me? With those 100000Lb loads you pull I would think you would want every single bit of HP you could get your hands on!! Too much HP is like saying too much sex or too much money...LOL Anyway LOVE your channel!!!
350hp will move a 100k lb load. I don't think they backed it down much from 600 they might have been over to start with. Will be interesting to see what it's actually making when they get there Dyno fixed
Greetings from the Ohio Porters! 🇺🇸 I like the old fuel filters that you can see through. I loved the old cars and trucks that had the glass fuel bowls! I like a Cummins, but a Cat engine is so much better in my opinion. I mean, you have a classy Pete to start with, but now it has a classy engine to get you down the road! 🤩 Sounds totally radical! I’m glad that they did a good job for you! 🤩 I like those new blue hoses! That’s the real proving ground…out on the road! 🧐 So glad it’s working out for you! Keep the wheels a rolling my friend! ✌️🙏
Love your progress n I gotta say the 5niner w a B is just right! Slap a 6x4 n ya had the bees knees in its era! So stoked fer ya EZ. Sorry about blowin through budget. We don’t get to hear mechanical engines in SF Bay Area anymore
Ol’Red has come along way from when you saved her… fantastic job brother. You should if you get a chance save a ken worth cabover k-100 or a Peterbuilt cabover. Lol
they done a good job on it nice work Them push rod cats they are a nice engine , You always gotta do a little bit after You do a out of frame like that , She's looking good , Be safe take care yourself Ezra
I ran a 7FB for a lot of years all across the U S & Canada as long as you don’t run it hot and keep new rods and mains in it at 250K that engine will give you great service and give you decent fuel mileage.Looks good
550 acert ? I Had the 3406B at 350 hp years ago ..You say 550 Thats the More current (without looking it up) as opposed to the Overrated 6NZ (Which is also known to Crack block over 600 hp) And thats a fact I do Know, I think you did it right with the 3406B..... Enjoy!!! You deserve the best.
If you have a Cummins Powered badge on your dash, you will have to replace it with a Cat badge. The finished swop looks and sounds good. Once you iron out the odd problem you pointed out, Old Red will be good to purr for a year or two.
Keep an eye on the flat clamps on your injector lines. I had 1 fall off on the way to Florida , and it broke the #5 steel line. Seems to be common on 3406B models.
“OK, Ez…you get a new Cat rebuild and I get grocery store kibble. Guess what? I now get the whole back bunk too!Sounds like a fair swap to me! Let’s burn diesel…!” -Jimmy 🐾🐾 ❤️
Your New CAT Motor is WAY WAY Better Motor than that Cummins Motor is. You are going to Love your New CAT Motor You will never want anything else than a CAT from now on. Awesome video as always. Also really Happy to have a video l was beginning to wonder what happened l really Enjoy watching your videos when You post them. Now that the Truck is up running now we will be able to watch more videos to come.
G'day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 you have done a really terrific job on the whole restoration on Big Red it's a credit to you she is one beautiful lady, it was great to watch all the videos on her restoration to look back on how it was when you first got it to how she is now show's your skills anyway take care kind regards John
I'm very happy for you that the truck is working good !!!!!! After all the work you've done on it It's the best gift you can have !!!! Have a great day yeah!!!!!!
Always going to have those little projects on a engine swap---gives ya something to do in your spare time😁--- looks and sounds like they did a great job,congrats...................enjoy.
watching the intro gives us a good review of how much work you had to do..and did...and by yourself...what a truck..and am sure you are proud..and we are amazed..
That’s a very clean install and sure does match the rest of the ‘ol Pete. I also recently put my new truck to work and it’s a real nerve wracking experience every time not knowing if somethings going to go disastrously bad. I don’t have a truck nearly as nice as yours but we all start somewhere. Heck I’m just happy I can run outlaw whenever I want now. Those corrupt three letter agencies can keep their bullsh- and eLogs. 1999 Freightliner Classic XL high roof, Detroit S60 12.7L 500hp, 10sp, 3.50 gears. I’m doing real light stuff just Reefer work. So it works for me and has just enough aerodynamics to stay away from the pump for a few days.
Awesome! I literally talked with my buddy about the truck needing a CAT from day one now it has it! Amen buddy. Love the truck and all the sweat and blood you put into it! You should be very proud and pleased. I ran many b models and the all were great. Best of luck to you!
When I put an air to air on my 359 I got a rad out of her 379 and the air to air went beside the red and nothing rubbed but I do have an air to air like you have in my parts department saving it for the next one that I do so I’m glad to see that it works
the frame filter now should be a 1212 (25)micron, otherwise you will starve the gear pump for fuel, also you need to remark the dipstick if only holds ten gallons of oil when turning left(right) it surges the timing advance and blows it up to hold 11 gallons of oil
That's a clean install, the days of driving the Mack will be long over lol, you've got the power of todays newer trucks with the reliability of a mechanical engine.
Hello how are you doing today
The power of today’s newer trucks LOL that’s a good one

sounds like you have twin turbos
The only thing that I didn’t like about the old red was the engine , now you change that to the cat 🐱, it’s literally dream truck , respect ✊.
I’ve been getting caught up on your videos and I just pulled a 3406b I had in the shop out to rebuild and swap into my truck with a big cam 😂 so glad I’m not the only one.
Sweet engine swap! Congrats on getting Old Red back on the road, going like a scalded Cat! Looks like that engine should serve you well, hopefully for many years to come.
Glad your back!!!! Motor looks great I'm not to much of a Cummins guy anyway, nothing like having a B model cat under the hood!
I like this guy.
Yeah, he is a very likeable and cool bloke
Very nice. But that old Toyota has seen better days
It's in far better shape than the Peterbilt was when I got it
It is good to see that your back. The B model cat is a great engine I hope that you get as good as service out of that one as I have on my 7FB in my 84 Pete.
Hello how are you doing today
Great choice. Best engine in the business, period. I have over 2.3 million miles on mine with only 1 inframe. Congratulations man, do enjoy.
Ole red looks so right with yellow under the hood!!! I know you wanted a E model but that mechanical B model suits you I think, a jack of all trades.
Hello how are you doing today
Glad to see Old Red from beginning to now, awesome EZRider.
Good luck bro. Yea. Probably 35 grand for motor. Been their. Now my 1987 early model 379 x hood. Classic. Has now kta 450. Beef up 650 horse 🐎 😋 🤪 yup. Was full eater now with. Well I'm old. I had 18 speed auto put in. Used my ssi check lol.i drive part time my boys run business 35 rigs
I liked how all the dogs started barking when you popped the hood on old red to reveal the cat,. thats a neat job, good luck with it EZ,.
Passed you in the Mack in minot! Damn near turned around to say hi!
Looks and sounds great so glad things worked out for you thanks for sharing
Hello how are you doing
Doing great.... still truckin
@@dannyodonnell6227 aww that’s awesome 😎
@@dannyodonnell6227 hope all is well with you.. where are you from?
Old Red is officially perfect! Looks like the shop really did a nice job on the swap. Congrats on the new power plant.
Hello how are you doing today
U put a kiity cat in ole red? Proud of ya
38psi Boost!!!! She's A real Dragster! Good new OLD Engine. Solid Power, Old School reliability! 👍👍
Hi from UK, I have run a 3406b in a 87 freightliner wrecker for 20 plus years,that cat will pul hell,!!!!
You know why it costs so much? Because it's worth it! Good luck with the cat. I have a b series in my 90 pete doing local dump work lots of stop and go and it's been pretty much trouble free.
I agree with you dialing back the HP on the Kitty. A working truck needs to be fuel efficient and reliable to put money in it’s owner’s pocket.
You gotta get the AC working in that Yota 😆. I had an extended cab one that I fully restored engine wise and that 22RE was the best little engine that could
Hello how are you doing today
Who ever did the engine swap did a nice job, very clean.
I knew I heard a CAT , then I saw that Cummins . Good job , clean install on the 3406 , 51/2 -600 horse will get er done . good change out
I wanna be this kind of guy, when repairs come around all i need is the parts and thats it
Awesome, let the shop know they're doing something right. 👌👍
I've always liked those yellow ones better. She looks good.
I wouldn't have expected you to be sad to see the cumapart go... lol thanks for watching 👍
6:50 I feel that ... I just did some work to my truck as well
Ain't nothing like old Peterbilt you done a good job on that truck my dad drive one for almost 30 years 19 84 Peterbilt 36in sleeper 13 speed

Sounds very nice congrations
Old red looks good with that cat sitting under there I'm running a cat 3406b model myself right now and I'm pretty happy with it still miss to Cummins
13:45. You take your dog with you!! You awesome dude!!!!!!
very happy 4 yuo
Now it’s a real Pete. Best motor you can put in that truck. Awesome enjoy the power.
Clean engine swap. No computer, no emissions, no electronic logs. You've got a keeper!
i love everything he’s done to the truck except the lift axle. i do understand it’s purpose though
Love the kitty. Red now sounds as good as she looks. My experience with Cat is that you pay more up front but in the long run they are cheaper to run. 🙂
Mr Ezra glad you got old red going. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Thanks 👍

Should have over 5k miles by the end of this week
Looks good and congratulations on your new engine
I love the big Cam Cummins motors but those old cats are awesome too. Looks like a nice job of installing and it sounds like its running smooth. Best of luck with the Pete, she's pretty much a new truck now. 👍
The guys you hired did an excellent job on the hosing. Really pretty work.
You sure are smiling when behind the wheel. Smiles for miles.
That old girl will be good for many miles and years.
Great seeing that CAT in ol red. You built my dream truck. Great to see you and Ol red back. Looking forward to some more videos.
Hello how are you
I was getting serious withdrawals. Welcome back!
Yeah I wasn't expecting the truck to be gone for 2 months. Parts availability is a issue right now
I know as an independent business it hurts when the bill is bigger, but that big cat should serve you well for many miles. And as a gearhead, man it sounds good in ol red. Beautiful truck.

There's a reason why every driver keeps rebuilding CAT engines. She's looking great bud, I never get tired of that turbo singin'
Yeah, after a second mortgage to cover the rebuild, 😂.

Although a 5x4 would certainly be. Cool the 18 speed is more practical for day to day use
Ol’Red has come along way from when you saved her… fantastic job brother. You should if you get a chance save a ken worth cabover k-100 or a Peterbuilt cabover. Lol
Good to see you an ole red take care good luck withe the Toyota
You got a new kittie great love thoughs motors had one in my truck
they done a good job on it nice work Them push rod cats they are a nice engine , You always gotta do a little bit after You do a out of frame like that , She's looking good ,

Looking great and sounding great too! The nice thing with trucks is that you can do whatever mod or change you want to.

I think you did it right with the 3406B..... Enjoy!!! You deserve the best.
Yeah the acert is the twin turbo engine that followed after the 6nz and mbn
Truck sounds like a million dollars man, great video!
If you have a Cummins Powered badge on your dash, you will have to replace it with a Cat badge. The finished swop looks and sounds good. Once you iron out the odd problem you pointed out, Old Red will be good to purr for a year or two.
Hello how are you doing
No better sound than a cold start on a cat!!
Awesome job! Throw out some details on how you break in a fresh engine...first service, run it easy or run it like you stole it, etc.
What an amazing transformation! I think this truck will pay for itself as presently configured. Nice job.
Now that is very, very exciting Ole Red is back! I wish you the best of luck!
THE ONLY THING WHAT MATTERS IS IF YOU'RE HAPPY, WE'RE HAPPIER!!
My dad use to own trucks that's all we done before he passed we did stuff just like u so I enjoy ur stuff man
Keep an eye on the flat clamps on your injector lines. I had 1 fall off on the way to Florida , and it broke the #5 steel line. Seems to be common on 3406B models.
Thx for the video and your time my new friend , nice ride ! 😎
Engine install looks very nice. Great to see Old Red back on the road!
Just finished swapping a Cummins for a Detroit getting ready to run the truck for the first time tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well.

Big Red with a Nice CAT Under the hood
I used to have a 3406B in my 1987 KW 900 I love it. Enjoy EZ
Glad to see old red back.hope you have some goodies in store for red
watching the intro gives us a good review of how much work you had to do..and did...and by yourself...what a truck..and am sure you are proud..and we are amazed..
I love cat motors they're bulletproof. I drove a c12 for a while, now I'm in a c15 acert rated at 625hp. It pulls like a freight train.
They are not bulletproof, they break like anything else. The Acert is a pile compared to the E or 6nz.
I have a 3406-b in my 95 Pete I love it good move on going with the Cat.
Glad to see your back truck sounds like it looks now
That’s a very clean install and sure does match the rest of the ‘ol Pete.

Good to see Old Red out working and earning you $.
Ole red looks and sounds great Ezra, I've run both Cummins and Cat and liked them both lots of power and durability. see you on the next one
When I put an air to air on my 359 I got a rad out of her 379 and the air to air went beside the red and nothing rubbed but I do have an air to air like you have in my parts department saving it for the next one that I do so I’m glad to see that it works
Tough hit but you caught that ball on the first bounce. Enjoy your miles.
Nothing better than a Cat in a Pete! Big love from U.K.
the frame filter now should be a 1212 (25)micron, otherwise you will starve the gear pump for fuel, also you need to remark the dipstick if only holds ten gallons of oil when turning left(right) it surges the timing advance and blows it up to hold 11 gallons of oil
Wow thanks for putting a positive spin on the engine project and it looks awesome!!!
