Man, that would make an awesome camper truck.. Build a custom box on the back, maybe a popup roof-bed thing over the cab.
There is nothing like the thrill of getting something running and working that had been sitting for years!
100% man. I love giving life and purpose to older stuff.
I was having by far the worst day ever in my 29 years on earth,then my phone notified me Paper Beats Rock uploaded a new video and instantly made a bad day into a great day!!
😍 Dude I'm sorry to hear your day is sucking, but I'm very happy that I was able to help turn it around. Stay positive my man.
I hope you start feeling better, sometimes life is a beach. Better days ahead for you.
Hope it all got better buddy. Life has a way of kicking us straight in the nuts sometimes
Hope your days get better brother . Keep your head up man 🙏🏻
Drove a school bus , same engine. It was auto. Still a sweet sweet engine. I can’t believe the price
dude for real. Even if the engine was trashed there was still tons of value in parts.
Brand new subscriber here! Love your content man! Grew up in Southern Oregon. Keep up the good content man! I will be here for sure!
Thanks Derek. I love the area around here. I was born in GP and be here most of my life. I lived on the east coast for 11 years but we ended up coming back because this is home.
Your channel is never boring to watch man keep it up
Thank you Mike. Its always a blast.
This makes me wanna buy one of these old trucks so bad
For sure man. I'm super pumped on it and the potential it has.
I just found this channel .i love it so keep up the great work !!!
Thank you so much John.
Just took a trip through PDX and back down into Eugene, Grants Pass and Medford on my way home to Sac. I can say there’s so many treasures out there in Oregon especially southern Oregon. I have a friend in Eugene that some old International CargoStars with Heil Rear Load bodies on them. They’re so fun to drive which leads me to this video and wanting to go back already
Those Cargostars are badass looking trucks man. I had missed a hell of a deal on one back in the day. We are very lucky in the area that we live that they don't salt/chem the roads when its snows. If we where like the east coast most of this stuff would be trashed and not worth anything.
found your channel today love it!!!!!! I'm a retired Army Vet used my GI Bill to get my CDL and I was born in GP its awesome a homegrown brother is on here keep it up. ALLONS
Right on Darin. Good on you for using it. I know a lot of our brothers have just let it go to waste. I'm currently going to film school with mine. I enjoy this video creation stuff and wanted to learn on how to make a better product. Be safe out there man and keep the rubber side down.
Glad to see it's workin out!
Thank man. I was pretty nervous going into this.
I was watching the video and thought wow that looks like southern Oregon. Then I spotted the Ducks blanket in the backseat of your truck and knew I had to subscribe. I live on the other end of the Willamette Valley south of Portland.
haha Yup Kevin sure is. Glad to have more Oregonians watching the channel. I make it up to the Portland once every few months. I have been meaning to drive my big 4x4 up there and make a video driving around the town.
Will be looking forward more on your next video on the dt466 nice truck glad you see you was able to get running 👍
Thanks Melvin. I'm sure this engine still has a few surprises to give me.
@@PaperBeatsRock your welcome lol probably so
You have a new sub from here in the UK. I own a 1960s International CO.
David in the UK.
David, Thank you so much sir for the sub and watching the videos. Those 1060s Cab overs are bad ass trucks man. Im a huge CO fan. That is a goal for my semi down the road.
That thing is *BEAUTIFUL* can't wait to see more! Love the Internationals.
Thanks Dante. I'm also a big fan of the. We have some good plans for it.
What a sweet rig that will be with a bit of tlc and these days a lot of money ! Great video series this is becoming!
Yeah the budget for this one is probably going to be a bit more than I expected but the truck will be worth it in the end.
Man, when you were doin 40 you might as well been doing like 90 the way you were yelling & smiling! LOVE IT BROTHER!!
hahaha yes bro. Wins like that pump me up so much. doesn't matter if its big or small. a victory is a victory.
I can’t wait till you do a whole series on fixing up the truck
Oh yeah man. The sooner I do that the faster I can use it. My poor dodge can't take the work load im putting it through.
That's pure biodiesel. It'll congeal like that in very short time given the right conditions.
Would be nice if people would make something that would last.
Did not know that. Thanks. Scary thought, too.
@@69dblcab welcome!
@@PaperBeatsRock honestly, anything "bio" or "ethanol" is bad news and doesn't belong in a fuel system.
looking good bud, miss it down there. I have tons of family and family history down there from the 1920's and up. grew up on Taylor Creek on my grandpas farm of 80 acres loved it. I do believe you will get the green truck fixed up for what you need. Looking forward to seeing it.
Taylor Creek is some beautiful area. I hope your grandpas farm was safe from the fire this year. I grew up in the rogue valley as well. born in GP and lived out in Wimer for a large part of it. We moved away to the east coast when I joined the Navy. Spent 2 years in Virginia and then 9 years in NC. Got out after 11 years in and had to return home. Lots of family in the area.
@@PaperBeatsRock fire was across the river from the old farm. My little brother retired navy at Norfolk and works at the ship yard
Oh boy...is this going to be fun!
yes sir
Love your videos thank you 😊
Thank you so much Reinaldo.
Just found your channel, looking forward to more laughs and WTF's, like the one I got when you guys
made initial start @ 7:58, camera pans in and........the truck has a "Ether Start" button on the dash!! Hahahaha no more NAPA...
haha yup. good to have you along Jim.
Put a couple boxes of baking soda in a open box. In a day or tow it will good.
thats spot on man. Thank you for the tip.
It cleans out.& Removes it works like A complete fuel system flush out for ya.
Dang! I’m glad I clicked on your videos. I grew up in Trail/Shady Cove. Love old iron!! Instant sub.
Thank you very much MrJimmyJamz. We bought our house here in Trail in 2020, we bother grew up in the Rogue Valley. Born in GP and lived most of our lives out in Rogue River and Wimer area. This is really beautiful country.
@@PaperBeatsRock It really is. Too bad our neighbors up north keep passing terrible political policies. Lol!
So UA-cam recommended the first video of this truck to me which was an introduction to your channel, I really enjoyed watching this! UA-cam has done good! I look forward to seeing what you do with this and I'll check out your previous content 😊 👍
We don't have trucks like this in the UK so I'm really jealous! 😂
Thank you so much Chris. We do have some cool trucks over here but you guys got some bad ass Hot hatchbacks that we don't get over here. Have an outstanding day bud.
@@PaperBeatsRock thanks for the reply Adam, and for taking the time to look at my channel 😊👍
I used to like the hot hatchbacks over here but I started doing off-roading 13 years ago so I got into 4x4's. I have a Mitsubishi Shogun 3.0 V6 swb which is a great car but it needs work! 😂 I am going to come to the US soon so I can see and drive some of the big trucks you have out there 😁👍
@@awesomecreationschannel Here is a link to the video with my favorite intro I have done. It was not planned out and I need to replicate it because it was a very popular video. ua-cam.com/video/qfZuvDGLUco/v-deo.html
@@PaperBeatsRock that is an awesome intro! I use Tigerblood Jewel for my soundtrack too 😂
I wish I had the use for a drone! It's just me in my workshop at the moment 😁
New sub, Love the great positivity and energy in this video! I have never ever saw diesel that bad before... it must've been in a really cold area or had some sort of additive??? I bought a 1982 Chevrolet c20 with a 6.2 gm diesel in it, sat since '93. Fuel was OLD but still a liquid. Still had prime. Hard to beat a GM diesel.
Thank you so much Kyle. I was blown away when Rob sent me that video of the Diesel and I was dreading the worst. The truck was out of North Fork California. Its south of Yosemite National Park and west of Sierra National Forest. Looks like elevation for the station it was stored at is 2,800. My guess is the cold and that its bio fuel.
I was yelling rite with ya buddy when that thing roared back to life, Hell Ya!! F getting new tires run um till they spit wires.
Beebester I like where you mindset is at man. Thank you for the support🤘
Holley has diesel lift pumps for trucks that don't have in tank fuel systems and go straight to injector pump from tank , Also Boyce Equipment in Utah makes super singles for rear using military Michelin XML's 395-85- 20's or same size Goodyear's 44" tall G rating.
Oh right on. i need to check that out.
Proof you don't want the forest guy doing 50 through the woods. Great video.
Thank you bud and that's for sure haha.
Great video love me that international good working truck.
Thank you Johnny. Its going to be a solid work truck for us.
Nice find.. good video, thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching man and the support.
Nice buggy. Now jerk them seats out. soak down the interior with a mild bleach solution and use a pressure washer to clean it all out.
Oh yeah man. it needs a good scrubbing
@@PaperBeatsRock I worked as a wild land fire fighter for Butte county fire rescue/ CDF( NOW CAL-FIRE)
Great show, cant believe you haven't tried the sirens out yet!!
haha good point man. I can't believe I didn't
Wouldn’t mind a truck like that my self great video!!!
Thank you Carl. i'm pretty pumped
Great project and video!
Thank you so much James. Its a gem in the ruff.
OMG I'm so excited for you 🤩 I saw that truck. But I got my Billie Jean so I'm not allowed any more trucks until we get on a ranch.
Right away, change oil in transmission and rear end. My transmission was 1/3 water 😭😕
Other than yours not being a rollback, it's kind of a dream truck 🥰🤩
Thank you so much. I want a rollback so much but I have to wait for a good deal because going rates is high.
@@PaperBeatsRock yeah, we pretty much paid twice what we should have. 🤷 We saw our cabover & were smitten. When wifey says go, I don't question it.
Owning a fire truck is a very useful tool if you are living in the sticks.
It is very much so
@@PaperBeatsRock I just hope it does not have the POS Navistar smog defeating engine in it.
Lotta fun!!! I watched both parts. This was the first pair of your videos I have watched. I’mm hittin the SUB BUTTON & follow ya.
Thank on Indiana Graphics. I really appreciate the support man.
Shift fork on the rear diff like to break. There’s access to it on the side of the diff if I remember right. It’s been 18 years since I had one lol.
Right on Brian. Thank you so much for that info. Ill make sure to look into that.
To clean the fuel use Lucas Fuel System cleaner or put some trans fluid in the fuel about 8oz
yeah the Lucas Fuel System cleaner is good stuff. so is the atf
I bought a 1985 Ford C-700 cabover this past summer for $1700 for the same reasons: a hauling truck. The only thing is that mine has a gasoline engine. It does have a 5 speed transmission and 2 speed rear axle, though. It too sat for a few years and needs work, but I'll work that ol' boy eventually!
I love the Ford C series. We had 2 of them at my fire department when i started their and they were my favorite trucks. I think it would be cool to get 2 cabs and mount them back to back to make a custom crew cab out of them.
Hey paper beats rock the stuff that turned the old fuel to gel was the red dye in off-road dieseal it will clog all the fuel filters. Use regular green dieseal it is better. Ps I am from texas where off-road dieseal is common in farm towns.
Thank you for the insight on that Vector.
Freaking sweet looks awesome
Thanks man. I got some great ideas for the flat bed and paint. I should be pretty mean
most definitely looking at surplus dt466 trucks for a donor for my 74 f700 build now. all those years sittimg and it still runs.. hoping for a 8 or 9spd donor.
There is a lot of them out there. If you lucky get one of the early 90s that is not electronic. You can run used motor oil in them as fuel.
Great videos man, and damned good music.
Thank you Frederick. Music helps drive the videos. Im not the best editor but i'm working on it.
I understand the tire costs. I paid $2,600 for 6 new 10r22.5s and I don't plan on running them that long before I do military Budds and tires.
yeah man up to big boy trucks comes with big boy cost 😭 Once she is close to getting licensed I'll bite the bullet than and make it happen.
I often wondered what sort of Stephen King novel I would be getting myself into by buying a cheap truck from a GSA Auction that didn't run. Glad you had the means and knew the people who could get it running until you could take better care of the truck. Calls into question what the govt does with our taxpayer money and the level of competence they have at the fleet on-site mechanics shop being on par with the salaries they pay. "Stupid Duty!!" "Power Choke" needs to go on the hood.
I did 11 years in the Navy and there is a ton of waste with funds that I saw. Im not upset that they rotate equipment say after 100k miles but at least keep it in good running order and resell it for higher.
Hey, neighbor. Another SoOR boy here. Wish I'd seen that old girl at auction. I've been looking for a Type 3 or 5 engine. Looks like you got a smoke'n deal.
Hey bud. Yeah they had like 6 or 8 of them up for sale in that lot from early 90s single cabs to early 2000s internationals. More will pop up if you keep watching. I think the auctions last around 7 days.
Fairly certain that’s Engine 41 from the Sierra National Forest Trimmer fire station. Those model 62 engines were pretty revolutionary for their day. Spent most of my time on a model 61. Good luck getting her back on the road!
Jason. This is really cool news. Is there anything I can do to confirm what Engine this was. would love to get some history on it.
@@PaperBeatsRock the SNF on the passenger side front bumper is what I used. That is the three letter forest designation. I have a student that worked out of that station around 2006-2010 so I’ll ask him.
@@jasonpinkerton5786 Thank you so much Jason.
@@jasonpinkerton5786 I was just looking through my emails with the rep from the sierra national forest and they called it ENG6233. not sure if that helps.
We’re pretty certain that’s the correct truck. The Shoshone NF has the same designation but would use that model of engine. The Trimmer engine did have those SCBA seats and six speed manual. That manual transmission is pretty unique as most were automatic but that particular station is outside of Shave Lake in the Sierra Nevada foothills and the roads are steep. That would be a model 62 gen 2 or 3.
Love that rig, you should put a flat bed on it, I see them around a grand on marketplace pretty regularly
Yeah. been working on pulling the box right now and will then build a custom flatbed for it.
@@PaperBeatsRock I've got an idi turbo f250 I've been considering doing a custom for, look forward to seeing it
I've been looking for an old fire service command center truck on the Government auction site. Basically the same as yours but with a much larger box on the back with more seating and several rooms with residential doors. One day I'll find one, we want it for the family horse ranch.
I have not ran across any of the command center trucks. I have seen several of the hotshot crew trucks which is a glorified short bus.
Man... In 25+ years turning wrenches, I have NEVER seen diesel THAT bad!! 😳 I would've thought that was some used 20w50 or something if you didn't say so!!! We deal with ethanol laced gas, which always goes to shit, but diesel will usually keep for years no problem. That's really unfortunate. Yeah $15 a piece for an o-rings is highway robbery for real. Probably .10 cents a piece to manufacture. 😔 Thanks for sharing 👍
Dude for real. When my friend first sent me the video when they took the filters off a huge amount of dread came over me. Like you I have always known diesel to last for just about forever. and the O-rings. yeah that's full on BS.
I'm guessing someone tried running wmo out of a diesel and it's cold.
nice greenhouse !
it may of seen better days.
Looks like it is in good shape, no rust, but need to wash out the rat wastes. No DEF, simple engine, simple trans. should work out great for hotshot work. You could put in a bunk in the back for overnight sleeping on longer hauls. I think in the 00's IH made similar 4 door cab trucks to pull 5th wheel travel trailers.
Yeah it could really be set up as a decent truck. I don't know how much call there is to fill the gap between the 1ton/1.5ton truck to semi though.
Look around and find a set of good casings for the rear tires and have them sent off to be recapped. Can be done for around 225 per tire. And i get my steer tires threw southern oregon tire and 4x4. Was only around 1600 for all six 11x 22.5
Thank you so much Nick for the heads up. I well defiantly been checking into that. Thats a great price.
Recaps on drive but not on steering.
It’s going to ride better. Fire truck 🚒 ❤❤
for sure 😀
If your 2 speed axle is electric, check for a blown fuse, or a loose, or bad power wire. If any of these issues are found, they are usually the culprit. It could also be a bad ground for the 2 speed axle as well. I prefer a 2 speed axle that shifts by air instead of electric.
Thank you Kevin. I am pretty sure that it is a electric. I am going to have to double check that whole system.
@@PaperBeatsRock you should also just be able to pop a cover off on the axle, and possibly place your 2 speed into high range manually, then replace the cover, and disconnect the Switch on the shift lever, and remove it entirely, or repurpose it, maybe add a Jake Brake, and use the old 2 speed button to activate or deactivate the Jake. I used to belong to a volunteer fire dept in upstate NY, and they had a 1974 Dodge C900 Pumper with a 555 Cummins Engine, 5 Speed Trans, and 2 Speed Axle, and it locked itself into low range, and we had to pop that cover off, and flip the axle up into high range, and disconnect the 2 speed button in the cab. The Truck shifted fine after that, and they ran it as a straight 5 Speed for another 5 or 6 years before the Insurance Company finally stepped in, and forced them to retire and replace the truck about 5 years ago due to age.
On my Rockwell axle is an Eaton electric servo shifter. It's giant ceramic resistor was broken. It was like $3 and I bought two, so there's a spare if ya need. 👍💕
541? You in Oregon? Thats awesome 😊
Yes I am. Just outside of Medford
Great to see it run did you say what your plans are for it was the video of arrival like the size of the cab good job it matches you work shop was it planned lol price you paid was great that diesel looked like shit
nothing is planned. Oh lol I didn't even notice that the color of it match's my shop haha. The truck defiantly is getting some new paint after we are done.
I learned to drive a semi like that , good strong truck, just a bit slow tho !
yeah they are solid trucks, and your correct a bit slow. May have to turn it up a bit.
Fired up good deal..so much better when you buy something that doesn't run and it fires up..1860 well spent.you couldn't buy an engine for that.
yeah man that victory when it fires is so damn good. I was looking it up and used DT466 engines are selling for $4K so already we worth the investment.
Yeah there's a few different battery numbers for the Napa Group 31s. If you want the cheapest ones get the Startrite ones from NAPA. I get two G31 batteries for $100.
Yeah man. The Startlighte is what I ended up getting. $94.99 each is amazing. I dont even care that its only a 6 month warranty.
@@PaperBeatsRock yeah but that's pretty standard warranty for any commercial battery.
Great to see my home town in your videos! You show a shot of where you are at and I know the road. Funny cause I think your wife works down the street from where I work. When you are in Medford with the Stupid Duty hit me up. I would like to see the size comparison to my 2006 F250 6.0 with 35" and an 8" lift for size comparison (yeah 6.0 life.... don't hate).
Right on Eric. Are you on FB. if so hit me up on there. I drive the truck into town all the time. Oh and my wife works very close to the airport. If that's what your thinking.
Yep Navigators Landing, I am down the street at Tekmanagement. I don't have FB and really not on any other social media, but always welcome to stop by if you see my truck parked on the side of the building.
After years your two speed motor is gummed up if electric you can easily remove clean oil bearing and will work fine
Thank you for the heads up Mark. Ill give that a go.
Sounds good, nice truck for the money!!!!
Even for a parts truck its worth well more than I paid for it. I feel way better that its running now and I don't have to part it out.
I was waiting on this video
Right on.
It's got a fuse it's got electric motor on the rear end back there that shifts between low and high and it's got an inline fuse somewhere it could even be in the fuse box but most the time they are on the two speed motor that goes to the rear end. You're probably be pushing it at 68 in high range. Most of these are set up where you're not going to get a lot of speed more than highway speed but you're going to be able to split more gears to get a heavy load moving to get up to 68 miles an hour it's not like an Overdrive most the time it just adds in between gears
Thank you very much Les. Yeah I'm not looking for her to be a speed demon but I do need to be able to maintain some decent highway speeds.
Its the gate on the turdo! The gate isnt opening all the way had the same problem with the dt466 - $1500 dollar fix
I pray your wrong. Thank you for the heads up and ill check it out.
I like sounding like zip ties n blas plies he is one good Canadian for starting up old 7.3 idi diesel engines and international harvester engines
I'm not sure where I heard to call it the Bill Crosby I very well could be him. So many great names out there.
Get the crosby sauce in the can its the 50/50 starting fluid on his channel he always says mint mint mint mint mint mint mint mint mint mint mint and we can always make a Christmas Carol of that song all to joy turned into mint song
Cosby sauce in a can always can come from and valentine's day special from him is very funny to watch
IH charges 3 to 10 times more for parts. Good luck!
yeah. I figure they are like any dealer out there. I went for wanting in on the spot and it paid the cost for doing that.
Small detail but those cup holders are specially designed to spill anything you put in them. And their so high it covers everything in said spill. 😂
bahaha. I know advice that comes from first hand experience when I hear it. Thanks for the warning man.
Algee in the fuel from the bio diesel mix. Just keep dumping the algee diesel treatment in it until you start getting clean fuel consistently in the filters.
We get that with the equipment at work when it sits for a while. Never anything that bad though LOL
yeah I have seen some algee in diesel before with a 2000 F450 7.3, but it was defiantly nothing like this.
@@PaperBeatsRock just remember how many years that fuel was left to cultivate that mess though right.
very true
That's biodiesel sludge. Lots of vehicles that come from government agencies who use biodiesel have that problem. That stuff will be throughout the injection system.
For sure man. Its so nasty.
I love that truck.
thank you.
Congratulations on it running brother!! Super stoked to see where the project goes next. Thanks for your service also man! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much DJ, I appreciate it man. Its going to be an outstanding truck.
It was made to fight fires not high speed traveling. My brush truck top speed was 45mph . You may have to change out the rear axil for highway speeds
Yeah I been thinking about that. even in high range I dont think ill get more then 10 more mph out of the truck.
With that color it makes me think of the International Loadstar in SnowRunner
Love that game.
And Old Firetruck alive again! I can see a future camper on that.
putting a flatbed on it but will be bad ass to build a slip on camper unit for it.
nice job.
Thank you Chris.
The DOT trucks i have seen from govt auctions all had governors on them limiting them to 55.
I know it has a governor that doesn't let it rev over 2,500 rpm. I cant remember if my other 4700s had that or not.
Reminds me of the single sketchiest drive I've ever made.
Bought a very similar International 4900 DT466 heavy ambulance - major difference is mine had juice brakes instead of air, and an automatic. Literally turned out of the guy's driveway and stopped at the stop sign *in front of his house* and the brake line to the rear exploded. I was dumb and since it was just freeway straight shot the whole way home aside from one stop sign, I rolled with it. Successfully used the brakes the two additional times needed (at the one stop sign and at home).
The truck *absolutely refused* to go above about 35mph, too. Never did figure out what that was about, because while I was working on the rear brakes I made the excellent discovery that it's just as well that the line blew out, because one of the rear calipers (it had 4 wheel disks) was missing its retaining wedge on one end and if I'd tried to apply any force with it, it would have jammed into the wheel.
Ultimately ended up giving it away to somebody with truck tools, because I didn't have the tools to really fix any of that without hurting myself, and as it turns out the county [or rather, one of the neighbors] does not appreciate big red inoperable trucks on residential properties, no matter how far out in the boonies.
Damn neighbors. I do agree that it was super sketchy driving it home the way you did but its not stupid if it works lol
@@PaperBeatsRock It was definitely stupid even though it worked lol.
Anyway, one thing that turned up while I was pulling together information about that project is that some 4900 trucks being built for emergency vehicles had *insanely* deep detunes on the engine 'for reliability'. Reman plate on mine said all of 120 horses.
@@EyeMWing ill definitely check it out and see what mine is at.
Ozone generator run inside the truck for an hour will eliminate the odor!
great idea. thanks sheepdog.
The second thing i woulda done is to clean-up the stink in the cab.. before i went for a ride.
That would of probably been a smart thing to do. I jumped right in the shower once I got home.
In Australia, tins of starting fluid are branded start ya bastard
bahaha that is awesome.
Hard to beat the dt466 there a solid motor that has potential to build good power not very many issues with them
I have owned a few of them and always been impressed with them. I'm going to need to do some research and see what there is for options on turners.
@@PaperBeatsRock from my experience power hungry preformance would be the ones to talk to they within the last few years started tuning the dt motors or just convert it to a p pump and send it lol
right on man. Thank you, Ill check them out.
Regarding cleaning the interior, coffee granules in an old cotton sock, 24-48hrs later zero smell,
Had a dead rat in the back of a crew cab, on a vehicle from an auction site, not a smell I want to smell again…
Oh wow. thats a trick I had never heard of. I'm guessing its kinda like baking soda in the fridge.
Almost had to call 911 you had me laughing so hard about the air freshener system (aka Rat Pee/Poop heater system).
hahahaha oh yeah bud. 😂😀👍
So cool to see the old girl running down the road, you gotta at least try to get the pump running once, it would be cool to see it flow a little water
Oh yeah man for sure. I want to be able to pull a draft and squirt some water. If anything it will help me pull more money for the tank and pump when I sell it. I'm pretty sure the pump packing is going to be trashed though.
@@PaperBeatsRock ya after sitting for so long I'll be surprised if it'll draft on it it's own, but its worth a shot
I’ll bet that fire body is a bear to mount/dismount. In my neck of the woods might not be a bad idea to have a wildland setup for property protection.
@@Beandiptheredneck yeah I'm not too optimistic there.
@@chaosplan Yeah it's going to be a pain in the ass getting the box, tank, and pump out of it. I have the lift in my shop but I don't think it will be tall enough. I guess we will just cross that bridge when we reach it.
Ha mate great channel 👍 ha douse the ca with bicarbonate soda or baking soda will take the smell away get it every were let sit the n vaccum it up, from AUSTRALIA mate 👍👍👍
Right on Triton thats a great tip. Thank you sir. Looks like a decent rain storm will be blowing across the country. Stay dry down there bud.
I like ex wildland fire trucks and army surplus trucks as well
Oh yeah man. I'm always watching all the government auctions. way cool stuff to be have there.
New sub from N-umpqua 👍
Now you have a pump system for your property.
Good to have you here BrokenfishN. We are up in the Umpqua a ton with family living in Roseburg and the surrounding areas.
@@PaperBeatsRock then you drive right by my place.
You might want to touch base with Ben at the 406 Garage (You Tube channel), outside of Sisters, Oregon. He's an International fanatic. Has a few big ones like what you just bought.
Thank you so much Marshall. Ill check him out and see what he has to say.
@@PaperBeatsRock I was wrong on Ben's location. He's in Bend.
@@MarshallLoveday Oh right on. I had recently just seen a few of his videos. also, Sisters is really close to Bend so I still count you being right 🙂
If the truck was going to be decommissined, the maintenance people should have introduced fuel stabilizer or drained the system and carried out what ever other asks necessary prior to storage. Failure to take care of government property is a disrespects taxpayers. I hope you gents can get this unit back to running condition. I'll be following the story. Have fun.
I 100% agree man. It should of never got this way and should of sold for way more in good working order. We will get her well taken car of and up to speed.
Total shot in the dark here, but I've got a truck at work, mind you its a cummins powered mack, but most days it'll limit itself to 1400 rpm until you flip off the cruise and turn it back on, I have no idea why and it'll only do it once when you fire it up. Might be something goofy like that
its a good possibility that its is the cruise because we were jamming the buttons trying to get it to hold a higher idle. That or something to do with the throttle control for the pump set up I bet.
@@PaperBeatsRock I think it's related because I do exactly that, set the cruise around 900-1000 rpm once the oil moves around a bit to get it heated up before I take off. The first time it happened I just started pushing buttons until it revved normal again 😅

right on Ralph. Welcome aboard.
you sure the 2 speed rear end isnt just stuck in the low side? Truck has lots of potential!
I believe that it is stuck in low. Not sure if its because of the switch or something else. We are diving into this more.
I look forward to more videos
looks like a big kid car seat in back ,,,,,,,lol
haha that it does, and unconfutable as hell.
I'm not a mechanic, but I have driven box trucks. Check to see if there is a governor limiting how fast that truck runs.
Absolutely Frank. I just drove my friends 95 international 4700 with the manual 6+1 and it goes 70mph on the freeway.
