So I am a diesel tech up here in Oregon. I have a small repair business in the north side of the state. I have rebuilt several 3406 cats. I can tell you that there is no hi pressure oil in the cylinder head on one. Only oil to go above the block is from the push tubes. It drains back down thru the head to the oil pan. That truck was missing on multiple cylinders and blowing coolant out the exhaust. I’m betting that you have a head gasket out between 2 cylinders or a broken liner. It’s quite possible with the color of the water in the radiator that the liners did get worm holes. Don’t ever ever ever run a Diesel engine with just water in it. The harmonics of the combustion paired with the surface tension of straight water will erode the metal on the engine. And some engines take very few miles gif this to happen. Notice that water will dome over the top of a glass but antifreeze won’t. It can’t hold the air pockets that will burst with combustion in a block and eat out the metal. Also if you look for an older Ford 8000 Canadian they had a whale belly frame on them that is like you are talking about. I know where there is one here in Oregon that has a 3208 cat and a 10 yard dump box on it. He might even be willing to let it go for cheap. Keep up the good work!
I absolutely love that I can watch Cabover stuff and then storm chasing in the same 30 minutes. Thanks Hunter. Now I’m pumped about your cabover project.
You are assuming that the failure was your fault, but there was also probably a reason the truck was parked. The previous owner probably overheated it at some point, causing the damage and the temperature gauge has probably been faulty for a while.
Showing all the detail in time lapse with your narrative is great. Sorry to see those cracks, I look forward to the repair and hope you get it to your vision.
I really liked how you did that too, for someone who knows nothing about vehicles or parts its nice how you explain it. Id love to see little red arrows pointing :D
As exciting as it is to chase tornadoes, please don’t push your luck too far, because I really wanna see you build that truck! Those magnificent winds can easily have a hypnotising effect. Please, please be extra careful and take care of yourself.
Great job narrating your video’s and the way you explain your work in a very clear way. Your expertise knowledge is something most mechanics wouldn’t ever be able to do. The teaching is done in a way that’s easy to understand and you place emphasis on the areas that are most important.
No Way in Hell! I’m not that Kinda Kid. My Ole’ Man was Taught to Respect Mother Nature & Passed that on to Me. Not Necessarily Afraid of a Storm but Sure as Shit not Chasing after One! Good Luck to you, God Bless & Keep It Safe Out There
Looks like you were in the rear inflow jet. Probably my favorite place to be. Watching the wind lift moisture and dirt from the ground and sucking it into the vortex and into the updraft. Spectacular.
As long as you're having fun, and love what it is that you're doing, it's not really job the way I feel about, and I taught that to my sons too. As soon as its no longer fun, and something that you truly enjoy, and it's getting to more stressful than anything else. It's time to rethink what you're doing, and figure out if there's a way to get back to when it wasn't a heart attack pending, because life is too short to burn yourself out for the benefit of others with nothing left for yourself at the end. Excellent content, and when you slow down you really do have a entertaining, and informative channel that compliments you as a person. Head up shoulders back, keep your eyes firmly in the direction of your goals. Make a comprehensive plan, and never change from the plan, slight modifications are expected, but never change the core of your plans. By doing this, and not deviating from them, because someone else wants you to do more of what they want. They're not interested in you or your plan, they're out for whatever you can do for them. Walk away if it's not a mutual benefit for both parties, and then base that on the amount of effort each party is bringing to the agreement.
What a fantastic video....two of my favorite things: trucks and tornados. Glad your not stretching the frame just to stretch but you're doing it for a cool reason. More axles...I love it!
Thanks for the cabover content; takes me back to my Dad's time in the saddle and getting to ride with him in his International. All the best and good luck with things!
I stopped in just for the cabover content and got a bonus of better storm chaser footage than most tornado documentaries. "...this camera is not capturing how close this dang thing is" ummm, yes it is... yikes. The footage of it that close was scary, spectacular, and eerily beautiful
I love following your cab over adventures. I also find your tornado chasing to be fascinating. I can hear Hunter being advised to think outside the box and his response “What box?” Keep on being you 🎉🌪️🎉
Bro!!! Truck content is cool but your first hand view of the tornadoes is straight 🔥 . Freaking awesome. My wife and I live in Texas near the coast and we do that shit during hurricanes. Sketchy as hell, but you only live once until you dont. The adrenaline rush is so addictive 🎉🎉🎉
One of my favorite videos you've done yet. An awesome detailed breakdown of an engine that fewer people have experience with and then some sweet storm chasing. Keep it up, dude!!!
I'm sorry the damage was so bad,but with 900k on it,it's probably worth a full rebuild,it did sound like an old trawler I fished on😂, The best of Irish luck with your project, can't wait to see the end result 👍🇮🇪.
The Day its registered and then blows the head gasket. HAHHAhhahhahhaha BTW, this tear down and voice over was most excellent!! Full breakdown and all details on the work you do. Kickass Hunter!!
On my first big truck {87 LTL 9000} 3weeks into being a new owner/op. my 3406 broke a piston cooler nozzle of and cooked the O rings out of 2 cylinders . From what CAT did to my bank account over those years , I recommend a NTC swap . Add pump problems and it gets worse .
Should have subbed a long time ago, but this vid pushed me over the edge. Keep the good content coming brother, I'm excited to see what's coming! I'd also love to see more about your stormchasing rig!
That's Insanely AWESOME, 48 yrs ago I exp an electrical storm in the middle of the night, it lasted for several hrs and it was consistently bright, I was in my element, I have never seen or exp the like since, it was like living Inside a strike and where I found the love for extreme's, Free climbing, Mountain climbing, Stunt driving etc, I pushed the absolute boundaries and never looked back. Have fun.
Everything is fixable. You got a nice truck. All part of owning older trucks. When you get it the way you want and get those compliments it's all worth it
Awesome video Hunter. It's really cool to see your videos getting better and better each time. You're doing a great job keep up the good work. Sorry about your dream truck but you'll have it going better than it was before in no time
Cracked heads/engine blocks suck. I cracked my Mercruiser 350 on my 25’ power boat last winter (water intake got plugged so winterization didn’t get all the water out. Last winter was cold in Michigan. So, it’s for sale now, in good shape other than the engine and includes a nice trailer. I love the storm chasing! I’ve been Skywarn certified for years and used to storm spot here in Michigan. It’s hard to see much with all the trees and the heavy rain. I traveled east through South Dakota once with tornadic storms chasing us all the way. Fun times!
That's a bummer the truck is down .....plans seem real interesting.....would've been nice if u could've made a lil money with the truck first but I guess the engine couldn't make it It happened that way for a reason.
It sucks to lose a mill, but that's the beauty of rigs, right? There's always another engine, you can always try something new. Best of luck with this thing, it's nice to see younger dudes running cabovers in North America.
Man, the tornadoes gets my adrenaline pumpin the one tornado near the end that was above you that is one amazing sight to see me in a buddy have always talked about tornado Chasin one day🤙
Just buy a heavy haul double frame chassis. Semi truck chassis’ are heat treated and not really supposed to be welded on unless you know the proper procedure to heat treat the frame again. As my my father owned a shop that specialized in building big trucks for various uses but primarily the oilfield I’ve see more truck frames that were cracked out and completely compromised due to cutting, welding and drilling into the frame improperly. We were only one of two shops in the area that was certified to work on as well as stretch frames and there is a very specific technique to it in order to prevent failure thus preventing accidents. The reason I suggested a heavy haul double frame is because I’ve seen them handle some crazy amounts of weight and it would work just fine for what you have in mind and it will be much safer. Good luck with your project though. Look forward to seeing it finished.
Awesome cabover hunter damage was probably already done but maybe a little insult to injury that was already done cuddos to you and your positive attitude hope you getter going sure you will godspeed
Usually that happens when a liner sinks. Probably need to have the counterbores cut and shimmed to lift the liners back up. Just from my experience twice. Good luck tho ! Good video !
Hey hunter, if you havnt seen him already, watch “adept ape” I know I’ve heard him say cracks on certain model cylinder heads just happen and the engine will run fine with them, this one being so extreme I’m sure it’s not the case, but he’s awesome and a very good teacher.
Great video, can’t wait to see the build. The oil and coolant mix could possibly be the liners. I also agree the 3406b with jakes is a better platform.
Wow man, this is epic content, a sick engine teardown followed by some tornado chasing, WICKED !, subbed up and looking forward to your truck build !!!
🔥right on man.. just a beautiful truck, grew up at farm and we had old binder flat nose, was so fun riding it there. FYI UA-cam unsubscribe me from your Chanel.. i was wondering y never seeing any your new videos 🔥👊🔥🔨⚙️🏍🚜

Very cool being a storm chaser.

Sounds like it was running fine for a while before he ran it with no temp gauge got way too hot and cracked the head now a cheap gauge cost a head
he did say it had almost a million miles haha
@@rockyrivermushrooms529 one of the trucks the guy I work for is a 2019 and has 1.2 million kilometres
@@XxXiceyXxX2 So what?
900k miles is ready for a rebuild. Also 1.2km is only 750k miles....so that is less than 900k miles....
Showing all the detail in time lapse with your narrative is great.
Sorry to see those cracks, I look forward to the repair and hope you get it to your vision.
I really liked how you did that too, for someone who knows nothing about vehicles or parts its nice how you explain it. Id love to see little red arrows pointing :D
No bs, just straight to the point video. Fantastic.
As exciting as it is to chase tornadoes, please don’t push your luck too far, because I really wanna see you build that truck! Those magnificent winds can easily have a hypnotising effect.
Please, please be extra careful and take care of yourself.
Youll want to check your oil cooler as well to see if thats leaking as well getting oil in your water. Its pretty common on those cat engines
Great job narrating your video’s and the way you explain your work in a very clear way. Your expertise knowledge is something most mechanics wouldn’t ever be able to do. The teaching is done in a way that’s easy to understand and you place emphasis on the areas that are most important.
Absolutely love storm chasing! Beautiful sights brother! Maybe someday I'll get back down that way and join you!
No Way in Hell! I’m not that Kinda Kid. My Ole’ Man was Taught to Respect Mother Nature & Passed that on to Me. Not Necessarily Afraid of a Storm but Sure as Shit not Chasing after One! Good Luck to you, God Bless & Keep It Safe Out There
15:40 tornado starts
I swear they run great! Till you pull off the lot…
This build is gonna be awesome, and can't wait for the reveal of the new project. Glad you decided to work on your own channel👍
Looks like you were in the rear inflow jet. Probably my favorite place to be. Watching the wind lift moisture and dirt from the ground and sucking it into the vortex and into the updraft. Spectacular.
Good for you Hunter, That is an amazing Truck, I hope you have a good time building your new Truck to how you want it built.
Working on your rig out in the yard while shirtless is our African and Asian Vibe....so..... great stuff fellow African brother!!😅😅😅👊👊
Man. I'm in awe of your skills. This is just fantastic to watch. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us. Genuinely impressed!!
Excellent storm video Hunter and the Truck is going to be on good build
Wow Hunter you’re so well rounded and interesting!! You are a very smart dude! Have fun And be safe!
OK. the smoke rings are hilarious!
YOU GOT THIS BRO. SHE WILL BE GEEAT.

Hunter, all of this is great content, thank you!! Really digging the storm chasing. TOTALLY JEALOUS!!!

Thanks for the cabover content; takes me back to my Dad's time in the saddle and getting to ride with him in his International. All the best and good luck with things!
Wow! That’s the best tornado coverage I think I’ve ever seen! The way you were right under that stalled out funnel was truly phenomenal!
I stopped in just for the cabover content and got a bonus of better storm chaser footage than most tornado documentaries.
"...this camera is not capturing how close this dang thing is" ummm, yes it is... yikes. The footage of it that close was scary, spectacular, and eerily beautiful

Really looking forward to seeing your build. Best of luck!
The project your pursuing sounds absolutely awesome! Im def gonna be watching the progress broham and yes the weather content is legit!
Bro!!! Truck content is cool but your first hand view of the tornadoes is straight 🔥 . Freaking awesome. My wife and I live in Texas near the coast and we do that shit during hurricanes. Sketchy as hell, but you only live once until you dont. The adrenaline rush is so addictive 🎉🎉🎉

well lad old engines almost always have cracks in the head, only matters if you lose pressure, when the crack hits valve seat it mattere
Was not expecting the tornado Content!! great addition, so cool I’ve never wanted to see a tornado so bad before😂😂
I really love your tornado videos. Keep doing them dude.
Loved this video. Can't wait to see the truck running again
Hello Hunter I am from UK just watched all your videos. Think your doing a great job on UA-cam. Hope everything is working out for you.
The Day its registered and then blows the head gasket. HAHHAhhahhahhaha BTW, this tear down and voice over was most excellent!! Full breakdown and all details on the work you do. Kickass Hunter!!
Could be oil cooler b blocks bad for that
On my first big truck {87 LTL 9000} 3weeks into being a new owner/op. my 3406 broke a piston cooler nozzle of and cooked the O rings out of 2 cylinders . From what CAT did to my bank account over those years , I recommend a NTC swap . Add pump problems and it gets worse .
Should have subbed a long time ago, but this vid pushed me over the edge. Keep the good content coming brother, I'm excited to see what's coming!
I'd also love to see more about your stormchasing rig!
hunter, not only are you a genius, but you are also crazy !!!
I’m really enjoying the time lapse with the audio overlay it really gives us more content!!! Keep it up!
Neat plans with that truck! Go for it!
That's Insanely AWESOME, 48 yrs ago I exp an electrical storm in the middle of the night, it lasted for several hrs and it was consistently bright, I was in my element, I have never seen or exp the like since, it was like living Inside a strike and where I found the love for extreme's, Free climbing, Mountain climbing, Stunt driving etc, I pushed the absolute boundaries and never looked back. Have fun.
Love the storm chasing! Don’t get too much interesting weather over here across the pond!
Thank you for enjoyable show plus inspiration to do my best on toward goals ,God bless

Thank you for explaining what you did over the time lapse.
Cool truck. I always like these growing up in the 80s these were all over the road
Hunter, you have to do more of the storm chasing videos. I love that one.
I honestly like your channel, doing your own thing is awesome.

Just make sure you have TWIN STACKS on it
Can’t wait LETS Get Her Done 😎👍🏾
Love a good engine disassembly time lapse video

That was amazing tornado video. Right overhead😮
Cracked heads/engine blocks suck. I cracked my Mercruiser 350 on my 25’ power boat last winter (water intake got plugged so winterization didn’t get all the water out. Last winter was cold in Michigan. So, it’s for sale now, in good shape other than the engine and includes a nice trailer.

Dang that’s a bummer. The truck seemed like such a strong runner. Can’t wait to see the build.
Those smoke rings man, that's amazing
That's a bummer the truck is down .....plans seem real interesting.....would've been nice if u could've made a lil money with the truck first but I guess the engine couldn't make it
It happened that way for a reason.
It sucks to lose a mill, but that's the beauty of rigs, right? There's always another engine, you can always try something new. Best of luck with this thing, it's nice to see younger dudes running cabovers in North America.
I'm always up for a storm, esp tornados, that was fun. looking forward to seeing that cab over on the road.
Awesome bro! Love the diesel content but man those storms were amazing
You get to enjoy being an adrenaline junky and we get to watch. Fantastic!
Absolutely love these tornado 🌪️ videos
Man, the tornadoes gets my adrenaline pumpin the one tornado near the end that was above you that is one amazing sight to see me in a buddy have always talked about tornado Chasin one day🤙

Yea..this channel is badass..2nd video after your dream truck find and I'm definitely subscribed.
Awesome cabover hunter damage was probably already done but maybe a little insult to injury that was already done cuddos to you and your positive attitude hope you getter going sure you will godspeed
Great Video!!! I like the tornado footage also,good stuff
Bummer on the head, just came sooner than y'all would have liked... & CRAZY chasing !! Definitely some of the better video I've seen. Thanx !
Usually that happens when a liner sinks. Probably need to have the counterbores cut and shimmed to lift the liners back up. Just from my experience twice. Good luck tho ! Good video !
1st video of yours I've come across, I really enjoy how you are narrating the time lapse.
Dang, great catch on those tors!!!
So excited to see the mystery machine on the trailer 😏
Good job narrative im sure alot of viewers that don't know enjoy Learning !!! Keep it up bud
Hey hunter, if you havnt seen him already, watch “adept ape” I know I’ve heard him say cracks on certain model cylinder heads just happen and the engine will run fine with them, this one being so extreme I’m sure it’s not the case, but he’s awesome and a very good teacher.
Was thinking about the same when seeing it has a Cat engine
Great video, can’t wait to see the build. The oil and coolant mix could possibly be the liners. I also agree the 3406b with jakes is a better platform.
I was going to comment on the liners, but you beat me to the punch....LOL
Wow man, this is epic content, a sick engine teardown followed by some tornado chasing, WICKED !, subbed up and looking forward to your truck build !!!
