- This truck has 397k.
Some friend I went to school with, bought the truck brand new and in 2003 they sold everything except for the truck and some items in the trailer and a little piece of land it sits on and they moved away. It was hard to get ahold of him because they moved accross the United States. So I bought a truck and the Forklift in one of the trailers. I don't know the reason for parking everything and moving away just to let it rot.
I can't believe that in America, abandoned trucks are just standing in such decent condition. Come and take them, revive them... In Russia, this is generally impossible. Homeless people would have long taken it to scrap metal. Or hooligans would have just destroyed them out of malice. I was very pleased with what you are doing. It’s nice to see that there are still normal people somewhere...
That is the SilverAero edition. Freightliner brought them out in the early 90's as a limited edition. That is some history right there. They were all equipped with a 70 inch flat top sleeper, 3406B Cat, 15 speed fuller and that light rosewood panel. We even had one here in South Africa. I was in love when I first saw it in 1993. And the unique sound of the 3406B was something I will never forget.
I have the same exact truck in 1991 they made 500 of them half had cats the other half had cummins and they came with 13spds.I still have the original sales brochure.
hi everyone, I write from Italy I wanted to ask you kindly what difference is there between cat detroit and cummins engines? Here in Europe, each brand also has its own motor (e.g. scania with scania engine, IVECO with IVECO engine, etc.). I understand that in the U.S. you can choose various combinations for the same brand (eg peterbilt) and that it works as well for pick ups (duramax engine or stock etc.). thank you.
Great oldtrucks...
I miss the sound of diesel engines humming along the roads..
alba acrux I don’t know about the rest of Europe but in Britain at one time you had a choice of which engine you wanted in your truck.
Sending love to you from cape Town
Not sure why vehicle rescue videos are so satisfying and fun to watch, but they just are. Vice Grip Garage, Junkyard Digs, this one here, I can’t stop watching them.
i agree

Hey guys, watch my video on me finding a 37 chrysler and trying to make it run after 45 years: ua-cam.com/video/9_OXNclmskk/v-deo.html
This makes me miss my grandfather. He loved his old peterbilt. Good on you for loving that Freightliner
The great old trucks no crappy DEF crap.
Amen, Brother.
Hell yeah yall. I honestly like people that use it cuz it helps the environment, but personally I need a kitty cat or Detroit that’s pre emittion. And no, I live in the heartland of oil and gas. My dad works in it. So I’m not no Greta bich
The fuck are u touching thi gs for!!!!!!!!!!! A huge fucking snake will pop you're ass
@@RyanDutchak if you live in oil country, you should love the new garbage. Anything below 60 degrees and my 2017 Freightliner gets a full 1.5 mpg less than my old 98 FLD.
@@RyanDutchak imagine getting triggered by a teen who speaks the truth
There’s nothing like a Cat engine waking up, especially after a 17year nap! Bring on the rest of it! 🥰 This will make such a nice rig! 🥰 Love the Cats! 😍

1991 Silveraero special edition. Manufactured in 1990 and available with 4 colors of striping. Green, red, blue and black. I pre-ordered mine in April 90 and took delivery on August 17, 1990. Sold it in 2004 with 1.3 million miles on it and the .engine was never touched other than regular maintenance. Mine had the green stripes 3406B/e with a 15 over and people would actually chase me down on the highway to get pictures.
That should read limited edition because there were only 500 of them built
Thanks Don that's interesting. My friend ordered this I think in early 1991 I remember this truck since it was new. he just used it local never cross country. It's running now I think I will restore it.
Beautiful truck great shape for the year, also I really love it how he is holding the child in his arms while working, I love grandparents and parents in general, that’s how to do it 😊
I've always loved the old FLD Freightliners. They did an awesome job back then of making an aerodynamic truck with good milage that still has an awesome classic look. I just love them. I'd love to have a later model one with a big high top sleeper.
Wow! Truck still looks in decent shape to not have moved for almost 20 years
397,000 miles and sitting for 17 years? Wow she hasn’t been loved in forever I’m glad your able to get the ole gurl back on the open road where she belongs :)!
Its proably not been sitting 17 years company's don't usually get ride of them to release from miles
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
FLD120s are gorgeous! Shame to see the beautiful truck rotting away. Save it quick!
That is so cool that some trucks can be sitting for so long and some people just start it and then there you go. I think that is amazing. That is one of the reasons that I want a big truck like that.
Make sure you have deep pockets for repairs and plates and permits this isn’t the trucking it use to be to many people with hands in your pockets
It's called no emissions no DEF Regen system. Pretty much just good Ole mechanical motors
Reminds me of Jack Burton's truck The Pork-Chop Express from Big Trouble In Little China.
Like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than the eye can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes" 👍

I use to have a truck similar to this.Its was also an FLD120 with Detroit 60 series motor.It would haul butt.I Loved It.

My grandfather "papa" used to drive these, blew his knees out after 20 years driving the big rigs from Lancaster CA all over the US from the early 1980's to the late 1990's. He had this exact rig when he was hauling for Swift back in the early 90's, I used to go with him on some trips. Word to the wise NEVER haul for Swift unless you are an owner-operator. A trip to see this just wasting away in the weeds, great vid!
Blew his knee out becuase he dumbass using clutch like an idiot. Float shifting was over his head becuase he dumbass
@Mike grazio You are just not in a good mood today. If you don’t have anything nice to say, why say anything at all?
Weighing over 400 lbs will do that
UA-cam at 2:00 am: would you like to see some people starting a truck
Me: why not
Holy crap.. 2:38am.
I woke up at 2am for some reason and decided to check youtube quickly, well now I am here
me too
2:48 am
Same... 7 months later
Good clean low resistance connections on the batteries are essential to start those big diesel engines.
Interesting vid. My dad has a 1993 fld120 with a 12.7 Detroit and a 18 speed that yas been parked since 2008 due to the recession. I cant wait to get it going again.
Your little Ella is so cute! lucky you having such an angelic daughter!
That truck is beautiful! And needs a lot of love
It was the silver aero that brought us the classic xl. Freightliner stopped the 90s square hood for one year and launched the silver aero . There was a backlash and in 92 the classic xl made her debut. The silver aero was a beautiful truck inside. Amazing how a manufacturer can go from rosewood dash beautiful leather classics to the Columbia and mass production . Rip freightliner
I miss my papa and my daddy may they rest in peace you have a beautiful family

It's amazing... It been a long years... Keep up the good work bro...

Comments were stuck on triple 6’s, so I had to comment...I used to own a 2005 freight liner classic with the condo sleeper.
This thing was the shit when it was new. Restoring it would be worth it.16 years at a Freightliner dealiership never seen this trim level in a FLD.
Looks like a limited edition trim
That's because they went to a CAT dealer to have engine repairs.
for some reason that model and style of truck is really growing on me i like em
It was interesting to watch you and how you trouble shoot the issues...good luck
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
SilverAero edition with the funky two piece fairing. I had a 94 just like it.
You should make an update video on this truck. I first watched this video 3 years ago and I'm still interested on what happened to it.
A number of people talk about the freightliner fld 120 I remember when first came out in the late 1980s many people thought they the koolest and the nicest truck on the market, many people wanted one but it took a while before many drivers got their hands on one. I put many miles on fjd 120 i did like the room inside. It beat the needle nose front end trucks that had a sleeper the you had to crawl throught a hole to get into the bunk and in the winter the bunk was cold and it was hard to get back out of the bunk. The fld 120 was haven to alot people and it was a nice truck to drive
What an adorable little thing. Ur baby put a huge smile on my face.
This was a limited edition to celebrate Mercedes buying Freightliner , Mine had the purple stripe, 425 cat 13 deep reduction, 750 watts alpine stereo leather seats and real rose wood dash, she would 94 at 1900, I never took it to 2300.
Was the last trucks made before freightliner became stupid Mercedes owned.
Emanuel, CF sold to Daimler-Benz in 81 now Daimler Chrysler and then CF closed their doors in 02 and shifted their accounts to their non union company Conway then Conway sold to UPS as their non union company and renamed it XPO, Brazil owns Budweiser, That 91 FDL silver aero was probably built at their new plant in Mexico they also own Western Star in Canada and Sterling in Detroit bought from Ford Truck division All of witch anyone around the world can buy stocks in, Central America is the melting pot, except it all around the world same song, I like my International owned by Peterbuilt.
Love the sound of a 3406!
Great Truck. take care guys. God bless you.
Back in the day this was the coolest looking truck out there.

Still is in my opinion

Good video guys you’re a better mechanic than my guy who works on my truck lol beers always make the job better
The sound, chico... It never lies...
How's it guys? from Zambia Africa. I came across your video by accident and had to watch. Please make another video, cause I loved your patience trying to start that baby. I love American trucks and the sweet sound of the Jake brake. Hope it has one. I drive truck in Australia and always admired American trucks when the passed me. I hope your toddler will appreciate trucks as he gets older. Good luck with the freightliner.
thanks for watching hope to start restoring it soon
@Virginia & DC Truck Spotting It's running now. will get a video of getting it running on its own and maybe driving down the road soon.
If it has 379,000 original miles, it’s definitely a keeper. These old FLDs with the Pre EGR 60 Series are the definition of reliability and low cost of ownership. Definitely an Owner Operator truck.
Truck has a Caterpillar engine.
ogkillla truck has a Caterpillar 3406e in it
@@tadobryant6554 That's a 3406b.
The speedometer turned over at a million miles
Go ahead and buy you one, make you some big money truckin! With $1.70 rates, high insurance, over regulation, pay parking, waiting hours to take a shower
Exelente! Saludos desde Tegucigalpa Honduras Centroamérica!
Greetings to you from Syria and thank you,
Amazing how clean the interior is for sitting that long.
No mice nests in the electrical, just some dusty gauges and probably a wet carpet smell
The first thing you need to do is change the fuel and air filters. Second, check the fuel pump and put fresh diesel in tank. If it has been sitting for 17 years the diesel is all gummed up

Amazing! Thanks for channel.
Omg this baby girl is gorgeous wow little cute angel 😇 God bless this baby
That looks just like the FLD I drove back in the mid 90's for a company called DTI out of South Dakota.
Hope you can still save it😉👍
90s never dies still alive ❤
amazing how that truck still works .. waooo I love those video thanks already have one more fan

juan alarcon bro we don’t need to know before the video starts
So, I'm a trucker now, and I have a 2014 Peterbilt 367 day cab winch truck and I first drove a truck back when I was 14 years old when my buddy's dad in Allentown hauled 80k lbs of tin scrap from Allentown to Baltimore and I went on a run with him. God bless him, he let me drive his truck on the highway with an empty trailer and I've been wanting to get a CDL-A ever since. I was 31 when I got my current job and I first started pursuing my career as a truck driver, and my current company helped me to get my license. The truck that I have now has less than 50k miles on it, because my company bought it and only had one guy to drive it, so he didn't put hardly any miles on it. I've put 26k miles on it the past year and that's not alot either, but I also drive a 550 and a 750 with a gooseneck trailer for the smaller loads because my winch truck and 48' trailer is longer than all of the sand cans and most of the wellsites that I deliver to are very small and tight. Regardless, I love seeing older trucks like this revived and used because no truck deserves to sit and be deserted.
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Ive always loved the FLD
I waiting the next episode. I hope will run again 👍👍👍 cool video
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Definately gonna buy one. Pretty famous and rare here in the Philippines these old FLDs.
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔
That truck HAD one really nice interior, sweet if it could be restored as it was a show truck from the factory!
Should have put new fuel filters on and drain the tanks and put new fuel in it. Probably it would have started a hole lot quicker
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Not a bad looking Rig considering the amount of time it sat,bet a cleaned up Ole Faithful would look pretty good,hell I'd drive it
I was watching and I couldn't help but notice, is your wife a filipina too? Working on a truck with the family it just don't get any better than that. Those kids will have some good memories when they are older 👍👍👍
Say goodbye to the starter if keep cranking like that, I'd definitely took off the fuel filters to be sure even had fuel in them & have some FRESH fuel there to top them off with.
Change the fuel filters !!
and dont spray and let it run on only ether
And change the oil!
Behold the master mechanic!
Beautiful Truck
If meinberg owned it I drove it passed it one day coming out of Lansing mich.luv to have it fixed up
Doubtful to call it the first start after 17 years, the first start attempt after 17 years is better.
Really looking forward to the future and hope for success. Thanks so much.
Technically it DID start. lol just wouldn't stay running.
@@Shane-Singleton It could not breathe itself without respiratory care. ether gas in spray bottle. Can you say that the engine runs by itself?
That you have started the engine?
Those are my humble questions.
Otherwise, it is a very nice and good truck that will certainly be great. I look forward to more episodes, and thank you for your comment.
@@seriksson9721 Hard to say those times it acted like it was running away and then idling if it was only running off of the ether or not. certainly sounds like an issue with fuel delivery, though. And to me, judging by the way it would crank and then start to stumble and resist cranking it makes me think the injection pump may either be bad or not timed properly. Because it almost sounds like when you have too much initial timing or heat in a gas engine and try to stat it. it'll turn then pause and then turn again. By my defnition even if it runs off of the starting fluid it still started. Now the big questions is will it stay running on its own fuel and can they get it out of there under its own power?
@@Shane-Singleton Thanks. I hope and believe that they will succeed with both the engine and moving the vehicle. I think but do not know for sure the sound of
too much initial timing is the sound of too much ether igniting in the engine. I will contact a knowledgeable person tomorrow and will be back. Nice discussion, thanks again.
@@Shane-Singleton Hi. Knowledgeable people say that with 99.99% probability, it does not get diesel, but only goes on ether. It should be relatively easy for an experienced person to fix. Thank you and we look forward to the future.

hi sis ... great upload
1:16 When the instructor at Diesel Driving Academy says you can bring one index card to the test...
I drove a 91 the stripes were a red and black,
425 cat, 15 spd direct. it wasnt fast but man did it pull..turned up to 500 hp .loved that truck but drove for a small company it got close to 500,000 on it ,it was gone
It's got a good engine in it, but I was kind of upset to see that it didn't have a Series 60 in it. I have good memories of riding with my uncle in his FLD120 that was powered by a Series 60. He could out-pull nearly every truck on the road with that truck. It was a well-tuned machine.
That's some bullshit lol 60 series aren't powerful at all he didnt out pull anyone in an fld120 with a 60 series I'm sorry
I have a 60 series 550 HP ,ain’t out pulling a cat motor but it all depends on what rears you have at end of the day
They never made a 550 Series 60. If someone says they have one, they massaged one, but it isn't stock.
A 60 Series is not outpulling a cat, sorry. From the dealers, the Detroit Diesel is the weakest of the bunch.
More vids like this will get u more subs n viewers ...
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Keep us posted this is a good video
Cant believe it even turns over...
Wow!
That rattling noise when the battery was low is what blows engines up with ether. It sounds like it lived through the close call but that is extremely dangerous when not cranking fast enough. Just telling folks dont do that.
In its day that was a nice rig.
Nice find! 👌

Sir just be careful starting these old diesel trucks around your young ones. Sometimes these old diesel engines that have been sitting around for years can run away from you if the rod is stuck in full power mode. And if they blow it will send shrapnel everywhere. Not trying to tell ya what to do. But their is some dangers to this. Great vid though I def subscribed.
Very good point, but to be fair think he already knew that as he is ready to block air intake to shut it down.
Im positive that's why he had the block ready for the intake

The CDL school I go to has two of them. One is parked (needs a belt tensioner) and the other one is used for parallel parking. It seems like everyone even the instructors HATE that truck. I even told the one instructor it's not bad on e you get used to the clutch....he walks away. 🤣🤣
Stunning old truck I really hope you get her running and restore her back to her former beauty
Me aswell Simon it has a cat very rare in those models
You have no idea what you are doing.... Drop the old fuel, then change fuel filters. Then fill takes with fresh fuel, purge the filters, then START IT.
@matty d Blow out injectors? Yeah I'm sure you are the best at blowing "stuff out".
@matty d why would you want to blow the injectors with bad fuel... That sounds like a good way to clog them
Lucky he doesn't blow up batteries
New fuel won't hurt
Air in system
