My eyes went to the visor before you said anything. Pretty neat.
I do find it weird that a old plough truck would even have a visor
I think the visor would be a good addition to the dump truck. Maybe paint it black unless you can match the red which has probably faded to some degree.
The ending reflection of the glass and the dump bed makes it seem you're driving fast in reverse
A suggestion when changing filters of any kind. Use a sharp punch, or chisel to punch a hole in the bottom of the filter to be removed, then loosen it, and let it drain for a minute. Now you can unscrew the empty filter without getting covered in HOT oil. Love the videos.
I used to work at Baltimore Mack Trucks and we had many a road service call. Many times when it was a fuel issue, other than being frozen, it was a shop rag in the fuel tank that would block the flow. Everyone learned to have a flashlight with good batteries and an old wire coat hanger so you could inspect the tank with the cap off. Funny how often this occurs.
On another topic, I am very glad you had the dump body supported when raised. At Mack, this was instilled into us. We had a customer, 2 brothers, and one of them was killed when the hydraulic line failed and the dump body basically cut him in half over the frame rail. It was just a quick adjustment he was making and it cost him his life. The truck was maybe 3 years old.
When you fill those filters, plug the center hole and fill from the outside holes. Don't want unfiltered fuel getting to the injector pump. JD filters come with a neat funnel that blocks the center hole and fills the filter from the outside in, thus leaving filtered fuel in the center of the filter.
Cool beans!
I never knew that’s why jd has the plug for the center hole
"Died Right When I Need It" - the automotive-specific version of Murphy's Law.
Happened to me today as well. Right rear brake is stuck and gets really hot after only 10miles...
If some something can go wrong it will go wrong.
Well, i mean, it wouldn't be an issue if it died when you didn't need it.
@@tek5358 But life would be a whole lot smoother:) Would be a pretty boring utube video, though: "Everything went perfect and nothing unexpected happened!"
There really never is a good time to die.....for either our vehicles or us. 💀
Howdyyawl from the land down under. I had a dodge 22ft tray top when we had the s rap yard. It had a bird's nest in the fuel tank from rubbish over the years. That caused the lift pump to fail. You fixed yours good keep on trucking😊
my dad calls these situations “the project before the project”
I like those visors especially when that have the marker lights in them
The truck would look good with the visor and smoke stack
@@robertbrown3542 if the stack had the exhaust straight up it might be better suited for Matt
I saw that “boiling hot oil” hit your hand and the “shaking hands with danger” music cued up in my head 😅
Glad she’s back up and running. She’s a beauty for sure.
"highway to the.... danger zone..."
I told matt he needs to edit that guitar rift in his videos
@@jeepindave5464 I believe all rifts should be edited out.
@@gregh7457 choon lol I blare it in my sports car I get some right looks but fook it u only get one go round
not many people know that old video its good shit
I’ve personally driven the parts truck you bought it was a strong truck and the transmission was smooth. Had the hopper bolted to the frame it was a good rig.
Matt, while watching your video l hear the Black birds in the back ground. I really enjoy listening to them. I don’t have any blacks around here where l am so it’s a treat to hear them.
I love the sneak peak you always include at the end of every video, some are more cryptic than others but I'm excited to see part two of that front loader
I'm wondering what's going on with the Wabbit pickup?
I got a set of line wrenches after rounding off the brass line nuts on my chewy. Good investment keeps soft metals from rounding over. Swaging fuel and brake lines can be a real pain, there's never enough line left.
Old equipment means more maintenance and less payments. Leave the deadline ulcers to the big guys. Love what you do!
When you do your next oil change, Pierce a hole in the bottom of the oil filter first thing and allow it to drain into a pan. It saves a lot of mess running down your arm. I actually built a special tool out of a round rod and flat bar for punching the hole. Works great.
Yes on the visor. 👍🏽
Loved the renaming of the parts truck.
I like the visor and plow lights.
...MATT DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!! GOOD JOB YOUNG MAN!...
Used to drive an IH 24ft straight body box truck w that DT466 motor when I was delivering appliances for Sears in my mid 20s, never once had one break down on me. Only had one overheat one time because the hose neck on the upper radiator cracked. 3 years, and at least 100000 miles, just the one time, so reliable.
One nice thing about the 4900 series trucks is they have the same cab as any of the old S model’s, from a 1700 right up to a 2500/2600. That means stack mounts, clearance lights, doors and a lot more will work on your truck.
My hat is off to the guy who drove that truck with a plow, salt spreader, and an unsynchronized 10 speed. Our township has one just like it but it's a tandem with a wing. You need 7 hands to run it!
Here we had a second operator for the wing
@@ypopnun1003 Makes for extra hands to wipe out mailboxes.
Only cars and pickups have synchronized transmissions, that's why its easier to just float gears in bigger trucks.
It was a real gem to run ill tell ya ! Never got stuck and was always the truck used to pull others out. I plowed with it up until 2018 and it was used to spread fly ash. The worst of the rot was from it sitting unused for the last 2 years . Believe it or not , it still had air in the tank when I fired it up after sitting for all that time !
@@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC t
Just a tip that saves a mess. I sharpened an old screwdriver and I hammer it through the oil filters and drain them before removing
Yes to the visor.
I used to drive a hole in the bottom of my oil filters with an old screwdriver to drain them before taking them off. Saves quite the mess.
If there's room you can bang the screwdriver right through and unscrew it if you don't have a wrench handy👍🍻
I was gonna say the same thing but I make sure that they will unscrew first before popping a hole in them.
@@highrx if the not unscrew then what? Right.. Just use excessive force because they need to get of anyways
@@kitecattestecke2303 just that day or so you maybe don’t have the time to do it if it’s going to fight you
I stuck screwdriver through to get filter off but never to drain first. That's genius!
Isn't it just great when you get to supply your own spares!
Doesn't every guy want his own dump truck😊 THNX!
Matt, 30 seconds in I said "lift pump" right after you said it started and died, I bet you can guess how I knew that :-) Nice tipping on your drive by the way! Nice even spread, thumbs up.
Love the Visor and the little screen on the hood.
Put that visor and bug "knocker" on the "Red Rider". It will look cool. Great video Matt. Thanks for all you do. Oh, I saw the "portrait" of the Autocar. Beautiful!
That visor would help quite a bit in the early mornings and late evenings. Looks pretty cool too!
Hi ,i had a primer pump do the same thing ,it had a split in the internal rubber diaphragm so it would suck in air and cut the engine after a couple of seconds ,glad you got it fixed,
Trucks are such beautiful creatures.
Your happiness when you got Ol' Red going again Matt is truly contagious, but then I'm a bonafide gear head, so that's fuel for me LOL, keep rocking.
Good that you changed the oil. With the evidence of fuel behind the lift pump, it may have been "making oil" as in leaking fuel into the crankcase. My M35s are notorious for doing this when the o rings fail in the hydraulic head and governor. Love the channel!
On these machines, you should check/adjust the harmonic modulator valve just in front of the turkey gasket. There is a tiny 2mm hex wrench in the right footbox hatch door (it's hanging from a small wire). Failure to do so will result in uneven turkey gasket pressures and cause premature collapse of the spine valve ring cap...!
@2:15 glad you caught the left over oring from the old filter.
A bad lift pump can leave you down in the "dumps" 🤣, okay I'll leave.
bahahahahah
😝encore🍻
Unless it's a shoe.
We're all going to call your grandma and have her beat you senseless for that...
And you have to put a new pump on just to lift your spirits!
watching the wrench slowly sliding off the tire in the background while you were talking to the camera had me cracking up
The truck slowly driven, car thief at the wheel, down the driveway behind Matt would have been much worse :)!
Hey to save getting dirty changing oil filters. When I use to work at IH we drove a punch into bottom of the filters to drain oil. Retired truck mechanic.
I love it when you fix these old creeks. I watch your videos as bedtime stories. Just love it.
I love watching you build your life the way YOU want it! Very impressive! Oz Mick!
Always satisfying when you get it fixed yourself. Keep up the good work Matt.
Love the visor And the orange color on the Body would look good moving the visor over Matt 14:00 @Diesel Creek
A little fluid film for the undercarriage will help cut down the rust. I hate the salt in the winter, but I love the smell of fluid film!
“It’s only temporary unless it works” ...Watch Wes”
What a timely video, my Isuzu NPR is experiencing the same symptoms! I will follow your procedure and see if I can get it to run. Thank You Matt for an awesome job!
I've got a 2001 DT466 with a bad lift pump so I did the add a Schrader valve to a spare fuel cap and pressurize the tank. You only need 5 - 10 psi. Works great. International says NOT to pre-fill the fuel filters. You will have air in-between the filters as well as before and after. The air will compress when trying to prime and lead to major frustration. If you leave the filters empty and then push fuel through all at once with the bleeder open - bang! International does say to pre-fill the oil filters. Keep at it.
I operated 2 Hitachi excavators that both starved for fuel because they had plastic screens inside banjo fittings upstream of the fuel filters and in places that were fairly hard to reach. Both plastic screens clogged with debris from the fuel tank like pine needles quite easily, but they had the distinctive characteristic of effecting full throttle operation at first and progressing to lower throttle operation as the clog became total. After cleaning, I moved one of the screens to a location that was easier to reach.
Got your self a healthy beast again I'm glad you noticed the oil filter seal lots of engines have been lost to that dam seal
Happened to a friend of mine's Honda. Changed Oil and Filter, didn't show any leaks took it out on the freeway up to 70 and bam...DOA. Didn't happen to me but the lesson was learned and I always make sure I see metal on that mating point.
Had a customer bring me his fairly new Gravely ZTR mower with blown Kohler V-twin engine a couple of years ago. He had just done a DIY oil change on it, and yep, he didn’t see the old gasket left behind when he changed the filter. After a new 1k doll hair engine (plus labor), I had him up and running again. Expen$ive lesson tho........
Always a pleasure watching you do your thing, you're a good mechanic! Yes, swap the visor over to your good dumptruck! :)
I had an old F350 that I added a dump bed system. It would die once in awhile. The gas tank was inside the cab behind the seat. Ice would freeze in the tank at night. After driving some it would melt from the heater running in the cab. The water would collect in the sediment bowl & refreeze & plug the fuel line. Crawl under, take the sediment bowl off, shake out the ice & off you go. For awhile at least. Then repeat.
You can’t beat those mechanical DT’s
I like your “flying” horn there
Really like your videos. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Your knowledge of mechanical things is impressive.
Thanks friend! Glad to have ya 🤘🏼
I like this guy! He knows what he's doing and he does it right. He's not like that Camarata guy who thinks he knows everything.
I don’t really know much about diesel engines but I do know that when it comes to internationals especially older internationals you cannot do wrong I particularly love the 80s square nosed internationals
OUTFUCKINGSTANDING!!! Great trouble shooting the fueling problem!!!!!
And that tease at the end; it lives!!
Yeah I was wondering if that was going to happen or not.
Interesting, one thing I've started doing many years ago was filling oil filters too when possible.
If a visor is the question....then yes is always the answer!
Those lights on the bonnet of the parts truck would be perfect for work lights on Christine.
Definitely on the visor Matt and a different stack would top it off nicely
Matt, next time you change oil. Poke or drill a hole in the bottom of the filters then loosen so they get air to drain into the bucket. Nice and clean.
I use a self tapping screw drain and replace the screw before taking the filter off no spills that way
I love the visor. All of my trucks have them. They are a must. First thing I look at on every truck. 👍
You can also use motor oil in those dump cylinders.
On older diesels, it doesn’t hurt to pour 1 qt of ATF per hundred gallons of fuel on occasion.
Old truck driver here, I was screaming "lift pump" from the first minute. Great job 👍
Same here. Been there, done that, LOL.
What’s sad is mechanically injected engines don’t all even need lift pumps.
My rig is 41 years old diesel never had a lift pump.
So it can’t let me down.
@@fastinradfordable what kind of motor is this? Mechanically injected diesels, usually have a mechanical lift pump on the side of the block or injector pump. The only situation where you wouldn't need a lift pump, is if it's gravity fed from the fuel tank, which would mostly be on smaller equipment with the fuel tank above the engine.
I love the teaser clips at the end of your videos lately. I can't wait to see what you do with the little VW pickup and if you take the loader home or not.
Oh, the loader is definitely going home‼️👍🤩
It’s great when you get to supply your own spares
Prefill your filters by pouring fluid in the outer ring of holes. The filtered fluid exits out the center.
little teaser right at the very end there!..👌🏻
clean the air filter too, last time you did it a pound of dirt came out.
Glad to see your old faithful truck running again. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
on those trucks (navistar/international) there is an issue on the right side at the front cab mount where the fuel line runs the small bolts are pointed for self alignment. after years the mount sags and that pointed bolt will rub a hole in the fuel line. it will suck air and make it hard to start. but usually once they start they will stay running. better check yours even if its running.
The old orange truck looked like it had a fairly newer air drier on it to
Glad you got it handled without a lot of brain damage. Same thing happened to my Duramax last summer. Replaced the little pump and she was good as new.
little buggers do a lot work, they need more credit haha
@@DieselCreek Are these things pretty much interchangeable between different brands? It is an advantage of not-Big3 makes of vehicles.
put the stack on your red truck it would look good smoke coming out looking at the mirrors and seeing that black smoke pouring out
how did the part on the right side on the table come out of the red truck if you go back to 4:53 you can see the original part of the red truck compared to the 2 that are on the table one on the right side has brand new fittings and alot cleaner looks like a brand new part
If he hadn’t got her going, could you have recommended a reliable towing company? I flashed on Big Red going away whilst making Jetson sounds. 😎👍👀
I used to work in Sugarcreek back in the 80s.
Thanks for the video I learned a ton. I had air problems in a 5-ton military vehicle that I purchased, but I'm sure that will be very helpful when it comes time to start my truck. Thanks again.
You gotta love it when a plan comes together Matt. And yes, add the visor to old reliable
There you go.....
Change fuel filters at least once every 10 years, wether they need it or not....LOL
When changing the oil filter take a punch and put a hole in the bottom and drum them first, it's a lot cleaner.
Lol. I like the visor. About an old used four-wheel-drive for Offroad and it had a visor over the front window and it looked ridiculous so I left it on there and it was actually kind of useful and nice when I’d be driving up the hill with the sun in my face, I figured it was just weird people from the 80s putting junk on their truck just because they could but I got used to it and actually kind of liked it after a while.
you need to put biocide into your fuel tank if you are not using the truck for a while , also drain the water out the tank regally to keep the water fuel interface down to stop the bio growth (the black crud in the filters)
Diesel bug is a very real issue, some say that it is also wise to fill the tank brim full if the vehicle is not likely to be used for a while as it reduces the amount of air in the tank above the fuel as this reduces the risk of rapid development of the contaminant.
@@w056007568
The growth is in the water fuel boundary, I am a railroad maintenance engineer and we fight this on our trains all year round.
If its left it will clog up the filters fast.
We put biocide in and drain off the water.
Will an almost empty feul tank with some water in it condense and frees on the inside of the tank? It's been freezing.
If ice where to form all over the inside of the tank, could the large surface promote diesel bug growth?
I like the visor!
The visor would look good. I agree that it's a pain chasing a fuel problem. See you put new planks on the bump box. The ol' truck sounds good, brings back a lot of memories. Keep up the good work.
Nothing like the old dt466 we have the exact truck use it for plowing and salting but it’s in great condition gotta wash them off when they are out plowing or the rust just eats them away good work
A pre-filter between the tank and lift pump helps to save them.99% of the time its a check valve gummed up or lodged open with crud, you can usually clean em up. I've even installed the clear plastic car filters there. I have them on my case 1450 and HyHoe I just put them somewhere easy to change out and keep an eye on them. Esp helpful With older equipment you dont run everyday ...it gives you a good idea of whats going on in the tanks too.
If you’re equipment is going to sit around a lot with out being used you need to put a treatment in your fuel that will kill bacterial in your tank and fuel filters.
it only sat for a couple months during the winter. back to regular service now.
I was thinking Algae to start
@@DieselCreek I herd Your land is like a scrap yard😁
A couple months.
IS a LONG TIME TO SIT
@@fastinradfordable No its not 2 months is nothing 😂
Good job in getting "Big Orange" going again Matt - well done!
My favourite channels are: Diesel Creek, Watch Wes Work and Mustie1
Don’t forget Andrew Camarata!
Agreed
@@Highstranger951 all 4 good choices!
Yes to transferring the visor to the work truck. Looks good
I say yes! to putting the visor on your truck.
Yeah, I think that visor will look really good on your truck. Of course after you paint the appropriate color....=)
31:30 when you tailgate your supposed to chain the gate so it dumps evenly instead of however it falls.
I wasn’t really going for that kinda tailgate. It’s a real pain with rock that large so I just let it go and spread it nice with the machine
I just recently bought a 1992 IH 4900 with the DT466. It was a septic pumper and the guy parked the truck inside every night. It’s mint condition. Enjoyed the video.
She’s a beaut..! I love the visor, I say switch ‘er out . You a genius Matt! Fantastic channel!
Almost guarantee its sediment from bean oil in your fuel try some Howes fuel treatment and good luck,love your videos
Seems likely. Either a little too long between fuel filter changes or some other damage to the filter media, and got just enough grit in the lift pump to stick the check valve.
FYI ... howes is harder on it... i watched a guy do a bearing “burn” test... it’s got less viscosity and can tear stuff up
That visor is Billy Big Rig af
Looks like I was your last commenter too, just watched this one because I brought home a cornbinder dump truck very similar to yours. Older but so much the same, turboed DT466. Mine has the rotary injector pump instead of the inline. Drove nearly 300 miles at 60mph, never missed a beat. Something to be said for heavy built construction, slow but sure...
Definitely yes on the visor
That flopping horn or whatever on the rad. Is cracking me up lol
I saw that, too!
crack both oil filters, then pierce the bottoms so they drain while u eat breakfast. No big oil on your hands. ezy peezy less mess.
do this with my 7.3 all the time. Works great.
0:05 love the horn Matt
Easy fox just a bad lift pump Nice Matt 25:00 @Diesel Creek
