James that bolt head locking the engine was well spotted.i wonder how many would have taking the time to figure that out.iv worked on many engines over 40 years and im still learning.if you ever think you know it all then something will bring you back down to earth.great video.
@@paulobrien7209 thanks Paul
Hey nothing bad to u k ! Just wondering if you look much I like the Mormon that is a cool truck my uncle always talked about them when I go in the truck with him in 1986 87 89 they all ways had a cattle wagon !! 👍
Great video James, hang in there it's just going to get better!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Ron. Appreciate ya
Good to see you again good luck with the trucks
Thanks Tommy
I had a 335 big cam. They can be set all kind of ways.
Thanks Daryl. Appreciate ya
You crack me up James, you don’t wanna get squished by a bc Cummins but a Cat might be ok…LOL!
Hahaha I laughed at that when I was editing as well. Thanks Bruce for watching
Yeah, I got a chuckle out of that too.
Great video James your getting closer to see if it will run. Looking forward to your next video stay safe James.
Thanks Richard
She’s gonna go James , it will run on sheer determination, great video and learned smiting new again ! Thank you 👍🇨🇦
Ya I believe it’ll go Thanks Dan
You can always tell a GOOD engine shop...Never enough room nor time to clean it up...always an engine or truck to work on...The best shop I ever worked in, only had walking room between the engines. OUTSTANDING
Thanks Don. I appreciate ya
Good luck James at least you know it’s not froze up that’s part of the battle have a great day we’re looking forward to seeing episode two
Thanks David. Appreciate ya
41:55 Git yer workout on! Woo-hoo, haha good vid m8 - hope u get it sorted it soon!
Rite on. I’m gaining on it
Good video James! You figured out u r engine locked up problem! I photocopied the valve n injector sequence from my Cummins manual n put it in a document protector to keep it clean. Used a lumber crayon to mark valve/injectors that I had set. No mixups that way!
Nice idea thanks william
You could try 24 volt lol, there’s no truck electronics to mess up.
You’ve became one of my favorite channels. I greatly respect your care and tenacity. Someday you’ll have 200k, you sure deserve it.
Hope so Steven. I’d love to be full time CZcams
THE BREAKER BAR !!!!
😊😊If you did get squashed by a Cummins at least you would leave this world doing something you love!! Please don't though, the thought of no James Pretty Channel is too frightening to contemplate .Cheers, Bob
Thanks Bob. I’m not going anywhere any time soon ;)
Great to see another sweet video from my hero
Thanks greg
I use the brake parts cleaner off the shelf from Walmart. The Supretech stuff works good. I'm with you about working under a motor hanging from a chain like that. That'd be a NOPE! not gonna happen.
Rite on. I like that brake clean as well
Check your bell housing alignment too.
Thank You for this “training” Video !! H.
Thanks wendell
Cummins engines was also used by foden and ERF here in the UK up until 2006 . Foden was also a big Caterpillar engine user as well ...
Nice. Thanks Susan
Morning JP ! It's a pleasant 55deg in beautiful Montana ! You have a really nice shop but I'm thinkin maybe you have way to much stuff. You're only the second person I've ever heard use the term "dinkin around". I'll say one thing for you though. When it comes to working on these projects you keep at it , and you're not afraid to tackle any job. I guess tenacious is the word that best describes your work ethic !
Thanks I appreciate it
Nice job
Thanks Michael
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Une sacrée connaissance en mécanique et Bcp de patience. Respect 😉 👌
Thanks Alain
@@JamesPretty 👍 😉
Damn Cummins universal OEM parts
Man that motor is huge, I need a forklift and a shop like you lol.
Ya a forklift is a necessity bro
All that trouble to get out that fancy mat, just to lay on the box, ha.
Hahaha nobody else noticed. Lol
Solid motors for sure and pretty dependable but I have to say, the sound of the Cat motors... there's that low frequency burbble when they first belch to life lol Great sounding motors and equally as time tested and true as the Big Cam 400's and 350's. All cool. :-)
I do love me a cat motor
An exploded parts book is your friend. Take care.
Wish it was available
Well at least you found out what happened to this engine seems fixable ...
I think it is tom
Good luck with getting the Cummings engine started
Thanks Scott
love the videos
Thanks Gary
@@JamesPretty you are welcome
Hi James & Jessica. I bin wactchin your stuff. Twin stick. The Detroit guys & it makes me feel I need to get over but in reality I’m dreaming if I ever come into money ie lotto. Il b over there as quick as. In mean time in the real world I’m going to watch all the stuff reagards Les 🏴❤️👍🇬🇧
Thanks Leslie. Appreciate ya
Good video again my friend I cannot blame you not wanting to get under The motor when it is chained up be safe is always a good job to do and you will get it Runing you are a good mechanic my friend and my copperhead snake bit is getting better Man I tell you what my friend that hurt when that snake bit me my arm look like The Incredible Hulk I was going racing this weekend but I don’t think so now my right arm I can’t hardly move it but I will make it thank God be safe keep up the hard work
Was it a big snake? How’d it happen
@@JamesPretty it was a small snake but it hurt I was in the Garden Getting grass out my Tomato be safe my friend
That funny your working on that Cummins the other my buddy Pete came over the other day and readjusted the rack on my small cam 400 that's in my pete thats on my channel he said you did good with tools I got cause ever single valve just need a 1/4 turn tighter and he adjust the injectors in the down or fire position cause he said sometimes the cam lobes are not always the same
Rite on. Appreciate ya jesse
Sooner or later it’ll run. I’m with you on working on engines hanging on chains too dangerous. Could you see the headline man dies by 365 Cummins news at 11. Also with hope I pass peacefully while sleeping in my bed somewhere just peacefully please. Don’t think I’d take a chance on cobbling the oil line either. Stay safe
Rite on. Thanks Darren
I get a kick how you name all your equipment and trucks old lady names probably somebody You once knew Way you work you don't even need to go to a gym everything you do is hard work my hats off to you thanks for the videos always cool
Thanks Rick. Appreciate ya
ya the cats are cool but really as a old school trucker the only ones that had cats back then where owner ops it seemed otherwise it was 350 cummins or detroits or the hand me down 400 cummins that where soon to head for auction
Rite on. Appreciate ya watching and commenting John
Can't wait for the next episode now I can't figure out or I didn't hear what caused it to lock up when you put the new starter in your head to have the Is fly wheel in again
Flywheel was pinched against a housing bolt head
James, I ain't no go to guy... what worked for me was ignorance. I just kept trying till things worked and that was that. I did have to use the spacer on the starters for sure. I was told so did it that way every time possible as some things are just never in your favor... I was told to dial indicate the flywheel when installing and it did make a difference.. I was real surprised at how much it did make to have it done that way but that said, the few I didn't do that ... they ran out great. I used to have a air starter for the shop as its easier to drag a airline than batteries. And then here comes story time.. I built a 350 and had it ready to install in a rig when time came to need one. It sat on a stand for most probably three or four months. Guess what... locked up tighter than dicks hat band! Old guy came over laughing at me frustrated thinking I did something bad wrong putting it together. He told me that even engines that have ran a bit which I did start them after building one, he told me that everything is tight on a fresh engine so they do stick if sat for a bit. Best to go over and just turn it over every now an then.... he said that after they were well broke in, it didn't happen as often but if still fairly new, they will still stick... after worn in good, they don't tend to stick. Clearances are greater after worn a hundred thousand miles. Back to those flywheels, I seen them run out a quite a bit even though tightened proper an not over tightened. Just recently my boy changed the tire on his shit pile ranger... a hundred dollar get you there maybe truck.. he just walked that rim on going in a perfect circle, I know thats not what you did on the flywheel, anyway I told him to just loosen it back up and do it right... well he said hell its fine so off to walmart for watermelon an some cookies for me. (hell of a sweet tooth in my old age) That front end on the shit pile shook me in my seat but he is damn near sixty now so its one of those he knows best things... I jacked the damn thing up and turned the wheel with him looking at it... .he said its bent... I tightened it right an it turned just fine... did he learn anything??? I would put dollars against dog crap he never... and his job is building huge convery and overhead cranes,, stuff like that including he was the lead on the harley shop in Minnesota... he ain't no dummy but he sure can try me...
I do have a funny story about my age and birth certificate.... takes a bit to tell but might explain the age of my boy compared to my age/LOL
thanks for sharing I always enjoy reading your comments. Appreciate ya
you should write a book Morgan ;-)
@@robdavies7 Why?? Even I have a hard time believing me and I was there... in that dirty cold mud, just miserable yet a smile lurked behind my lips... another good save
Hey James, pull the injectors out and put in some Marvel Mystery Oil. Let it sit a day or so then try cranking it over.
I spoke too soon. The flywheel was hanging on to a bolt.
Right on bubba hope it’s running now! U think having that rocker cover sitting all weird in the engine is safe to try nd turn it over
Thanks for being here. It’s likely not I dunno
Looks like that motor sat outside for quite a while....
I’m guessing 4-5 years
Do a good job james
Thanks Keith.
That's weird never seen anything like that
Thanks for watching bro
It's a 3headed monster ,I would part it out ,seen to many bad uppercounterbores and uneven decks ,junk the pile
Not willing to junk it yet Thanks for watching Gary. We’ll see how it ends up tho. You might be right
Love those old cab overs. There are 2 or 3 of those kw setting going to rot at a old grocery store that I drive by plus a freightliner cab over graveyard
I wish I could save them all. Need a couple hundred thousand more subs ;)
Don't just wish all of them starters are that easy to put in
Hahaha I do
James you may have a 15 1/2 inch flywheel in a flywheel housing that is set up for a fourteen inch flywheel. Also did you dial in your flywheel housing? Best of luck to you. Love your videos.
I got is straighten out. Was a bolt head on the housing
Sup James pretty doing with all these your beautiful machines on wheels and I like the names of the semi trucks it perterbilt mike and tiwn stick grange and old stork 12 Dave trucker lounge and I do know a CZcams that goes to salvage semi truck for parts dude
Rite on thanks for watching Sean
Just think James, how fast you would have all these classics up and running smoothly if you could actually work as fast as in the time lapse sequences, ha ha.
Man some time I feel like I’m going that fast ;). Hahaha thanks for watching Dwight
May have to much end play in crank
U have forklift.. stand it up on bellhousing.. have to throw blocks under head or rocker box so it will sit..
Ya I’m gonna make an engine stand probably
Bearings.pan.. all that..sucks to be down on ground on ur knees.. alof of guys sit upside down when doing pistons and bearings if heads r off.. if ur gonna inspect..change with heads and all on.i stand them up.. working way down low sucks. Big roll over engine stand takes up space.expensive.. i struggle to trust some of them.. just depends how much ur gonna do to justify having one
@@brentlance2379 I agree
👍👍
Appreciate ya
Northing worse than an engine that just keeps giving grief! she'll run good by the end of it though!
I agree. Hope so ;). Thanks for watching
Hi
happy happy 4th be good dont blow any fingers off lol lol. ohio V
Rite on bro. Same
@@JamesPretty thanks bro for responding
What's up
What’s up bro
I never heard of a 365, Heard of a 290, 350, 400 and 475, (400 with twin turbos) in a 855 configuration but never heard of a 365.
Me either was my first time. Also the cpl is 1211 which I found is a 400 so not sure exactly. But the tag does say ntc-365
we had them in australia b/c 4 at 320,365,400,and 444.
the 365 and 400 ran the same cpl which was 904,and the 444 was cpl 903. and the 320 was cpl 905.
Hey James I know you fly Commercial airplanes but do you know how to work on The Engines
I can work on any engine. Steam gasoline diesel jet whatever. At some point I’m going to work on a jet engine for a project. Be a while
Are you going to rebuild the cat engine n put it back in the freightliner conventional
No the engine in TruckX is going to get rebuilt and go into Trisha
hi james is that a big cam 3 400 ? mine is is the big 1 400 purs like a kitten , the engine has 75,000 the truck its selfhas a million and a half
Bciv 365. Thanks for watching John
It must be bent
have you thought a bout getting a young fella to train working on these engines?? it will become a lost art if someone doeslt learn..
Can’t find anyone that wants to work
@@JamesPretty hahaha lordy lord i understand that its a shame but often the truth
Hi I sale 1985 Kenworth k 100 cat 3406 b engine starting good . Project truck . 15.000 truck in New Jersey.
Ya it will run with lots of money
Not that much. Like 2000 total invested
@@JamesPretty or it was a western star his 1983 auto car was a double frame with a refer was heavy
@@JamesPretty old school can u find one ?
Get yourself a good set ok knee pads and wear them. When you get older you will be thankful you did.
Didn’t show valve adjustment 🤦♂️
Ya cause I did it so many times in previous videos
@@JamesPretty which video? Started watching all your video 😁
It was junk when it was new.
Forget a Cummins!
I used to agree. But these Cummins motors always run
i drove in the 70s and 80s and that motor never failed me only once in nebraska and it wasnt engines fault it was the fuel pump dyed at 600,000 miles.but back then I had a good old lifer mechanic at shop that probaly did things i didnt see in my hometime.jour company had almost 200 trucks most international transtars one long nosed pete black.3 ford short noses 5 359 petes 10 362s pete cabovers plainjaners and the new batch of whites.ya whites.cabovers i asked my boss why are you buying these white cabovers he said they cheap and if in a accident cheap to fix recab new frame whatever.i found out the hard way that was so true.I dont like to talk about it but my friend my trainer my best friend that cared about people dyed in one 2 weeks from retirement in 1987.ill never forget it.one day at shop he stopped me on my way to the 359 and he said look!.see that brand new white leaving yard? I said ya he said thats the truck your friend dyed in its just a new frame and cab its just buisness as he was hanging his arm over my right shoulder.when he said that i spun around threw his arm away from me and ran to my car and just cryed.i left trucking that day never to return but i still love trucks/my best friend drove for that ahole for 35 years and never got to relax he was pushed 12 14 hours a day lie on logs.his acciedent wasnt even his fault a long nosed pete him head on as he crested a hill.the guy in the pete hit him head on fell asleep crossed down through ditch and as my friend crested hill bam.no match their
sad. a lot of guys went out that way.
