    I worked for NCDOT in 1979. I swear that's my truck, color and all. Good times.

    Good job, I resurrected an old D500 dump myself several years ago. You might find that all the rubber flexible brake lines and the one for the clutch line will have to be replaced as they swell up inside choking off all the fluid flow. Anyway, good luck, I have a few videos of it on my site if interested. 👍

    Some people say that it's a good idea to run an engine first for a bit to warm it up to get any sludge mixed up and out with the oil change.

    • @BudgetBuildz
      @BudgetBuildz  Před rokem +4

      I do agree with that statement. With a motor that has been sitting for so many years, most of the crud will be in the bottom of the pan. It also gives me a chance to check for metal flakes etc. Once we change the oil and run it for a bit, we’ll change it again. That’ll then help clean out the sludge and all. I simply do it out of habit, although it’s not necessary. Oil is cheap, compared to an engine.

    When dealing with old dodge trucks it’s best to just go ahead and replace everything electrical before u even get started in my experience, or at least have a spare starter relay and voltage regulator and ignition module and whatnot ready and sitting there because something isn’t gonna work. Super cool truck! That thing is kinda rare, u don’t see a d600 every day.

    We had a small dump truck similar to that when I was a teen in the 80's but ours was a '66 Chevy. We'd take it and a frontend loader down to the creek and come back with brown creek gravel we used on our driveway and the road going back to our barn, but otherwise it didn't see much use. Handy to have when you need one though. :)
