WILEY YOU HAVE THE MAKING OF A GOOD MECANIC
That old Freightliner reminded me of when I was a kid my dad drove over the road and the company he drove for had them old Freightliners, I used to love riding with him listening to that big old diesel humming and groaning along! My memories still hold on even though dad's gone. Thank you for doing this video it really brought a year to my eye and a smile to my face!!
Thanks for sharing and watching

Damn, I remember when I drove a BRAND NEW 2000 FLD. This video made me feel old, Man.
Goodness Wily even Christ took a day off 😂
God bless you 🙏🙏
Thank you for giving these trucks a new lease on life! Sure this Freightliner looks rough, but all of these are solid trucks!
Those trucks will sell quick!
Sitting here sick as Hell!
This makes it all good now!
Great video, Wiley and Jacob. I enjoy watching you guys on these will it start videos. I like how you talk on your videos about what you are going to do next. Thanks for sharing!!

Братуха привіт і дякую за любов до стареньких авто
Probably 12.7 430/470 hp. That interior is in great shape just needs cleaning. Got that button tuck, which was fancy. The fuel gauge looked like it was on or close to empty it may not be getting fuel from the tank. Or it may have a low water shut down sensor not letting it start. That truck just needs a good service and probably new wheel seals and new tires and it will be good to go.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching
I only drove a Series 60 12.7 for a couple days back in the 90's. To me it did not feel much different than the CAT I normally drove. Very flexible operating range.
Holy cow! The inside of that FLD is clean! Now that goes to show that driver kept that rig clean!
So, now that I've seen all the trucks have been cleaned spotless inside to sell.
Wiley, I wouldn’t worry about the brakes being spongy these trucks from the 90s on it up have a limit break power when the trailer is disconnected and your bobtailing so you don’t lock the brakes up so easy😊
Try getting in touch with Tim Gentry because he's got a couple FLD's!FED'S!! Great job y'all!!!
Still a solid looking truck, a person could still make a good hauler out of that. Glad you fellas could get it running 🔧🔩 Enjoyed the video and keep 'em coming
Good job Wiley, you are just straight up honest with the senior card mishaps and thats just fine, we are the same age and i play mine every day.
I carry a big Harbor Freight tool kit in my truck. They work just fine and don’t break the bank. Lifetime warranty too!
Look on the valve cover. There is a tag on the side that gives you all the engine info. Some freightliners have a tag in the glove box. You have to have the radiator full also. It has a low water sensor in the tank that shuts the engine down with low water. Good Luck with your Projects. Stay Safe out There 🇺🇸
Nice to see you got that bad boy running Wiley enjoy the video 📹
Thank you
Love your videos. Here in New Zealand I have a C120 Century with a C15 Cat. It had 2 x 70 gal tanks and diesel is $8 a gallon 😢
Ooouch.
Thank you and thanks for watching
❤nice one
Good to see trucks run again after been sitting for years
Good job wily you got going that's what counts
Those Volvos are still good tractors the 60 series Detroit that's in the Freightliner were very good Motors. It should have a horsepower rating on a metal plate on the valve cover
Thanks for watching
wiley your videos are awesome glad you got it running and driving freightliner are great trucks i own an black FreightLiner hat
Lol
That counts
Thanks for watching
Love the look of these freightliners, when I was a kid and wanted to be a truck driver this is the truck I wanted
The best thing about Hank and Wiley they never foreget to buy their woman another chainsaw for her birthday😂😂😂❤
That field would be good learning how to drive too! Good work Wily and Jacob! I'm looking forward to the next videos! 🚛🚛🚛
I love those bodystyle freightliners!! Those are my favorite trucks!💗💗 They've always been my favorite!! But good god that horrendous buzzer!!😵
I love a flatop FLD with stacks. They are Comfortable and reliable
This would be a good addition to the Gentry and sons fleet.
Wily, you may have set that brake (yellow knob) after the test drive, but I didn't see it or hear it. Don't forget to set that brake, please, brother, before you get out of the truck. I love your videos. 46 year trucker here retired last year.
Thank you for sharing and hope you enjoy your retirement
I'm pleased the truck didn't beat you and you will have similar success with the rest. Looking forward to the whole series.
Thank you for watching
Hopefully somebody's bought the Truck to go back on the Road, good Video & thanks for sharing mate 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
Dontbewily Hope you Can get That Freightliner up and Going Keep Up the good work Billy Lizza Uniontown pa
Thank you Billy
Thanks for watching
I was driven a 1997 Freightliner one of the best trucks I ever drove I loved it
Nice video. I enjoy how laid back your approach is to your videos.
Those fld are great trucks. 1 of the few Freightliner i would own
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Good going wiley and Jacob , you got that one running and not too bad a unit.
Got life left in it yet.
Thanks Wiley and Jacob.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Thank you
What’s that Toby Keith song
It’s not as good as it once was but it as good once as it ever was.
Thank you for watching
Great too see everything worked on and hopefully some of those trucks will hit the road once again.
I. Think 🤔 you can get it to run 🏃 and you are a great mechanic
Wow I love this channel love these old trucks so much ❤
Thank you for watching
Did you notice the cooling fan not spinning. Love your videos Wiley keep it going.
The cooling fan will not start turning until the clutch on it engages once the engine reaches full operating temperature
Probably an electric fan, will start spinning when engine reaches temp.
@@njh4473 air engaged on semis
I like the freight shaker,
Wiley your videos are awesome those truck are pretty good for local haul or a good log truck u probably could put bout 5 to 8 grand into them and put them back on the road
Log truck is what i thought to but the wood business here right now is terrible
Thanks for watching
We had one that was sitting for about 8 years with the same engine and was a Freightliner Columbia. Wasn't getting fuel I ended up pressurizing the fuel tank with compressed air, unhooked the fuel line at the filter. Sediment at the bottom of the fuel tank broke loose. After that I started the truck and ran good.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching
Good morning Wily and Jacob 🌞 that thing is making a oil 👍. Just came across your channel this morning, I remember you and Hank working together. Didn't know you had a channel. Congrats on getting the Volvo running, she looks and sounds great. Good luck in all that you do and God bless 👍✌️🇺🇲
Hank and I still do videos together. He over the last few weeks was sharing some content other than will it start.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
She sounds real good.A little TLC would make that a descent truck
Great video Wiley and Jacob, you got the truck going and it was only a missed wire when connecting up the batteries.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Great untaking I it all pans out great start to a new series great video thanks Wylie and Jacob
Thank you for watching
This is a nice truck for Timmy Gentry! Only the engine alone is $7500 worth!!!!
i had to bypass the computer fuel pump wire for that reason on a cabover and put a toggle switch in the cab it ran for years that way
Outstanding choice one the greatest work horses ever made
I little drive green 1995 FDL Sleeper for 15 of his 25yrs Driving

Good job Wiley keep up the good work and I really enjoy your videos

Thanks for sharing and watching
I’m not saying this to be mean! I’m just being honest, you have a better video personality than that other fella and I’d rather hang out with you. 😆 let’s do lunch afterwards.
James Pretty will buy it.
Hank actually talked to James about this truck
We will see
Thanks for watching
Thanks Wiley and Jacob, Great Video!! Glad you guys are doing these for us, anxious for the next one!!
Good job 👍
Another runner, well done guys,
beautiful freightliner classic waiting for a restoration
I have done allot of driving in a frieghtliner. I miss it and don't miss it. Lol
Lol
Thanks for watching
Wily, when the tac isn't moving as in when ya first tried to get it running, its not getting a signal to the computer that its running or even trying... when ya turn the key on, and that tac doesn't flicker a bit,,, check wires on the battery right off.
Thanks for that info
Did not know that
Thanks for watching
It'll start Wiley, it's a Detroit and it's a Freightliner I've driven too many of these for them not to start no matter,how long they sit
those fld120 are great trucks i drove a 91 with a 435 detroit serie 60 13spds and it was a great truck. also drove a 1996 fld 120 with the 425cat 3406 with 18spds and it was also a great truck.
i like those shakers!
great video ❤
Grandpa you're amazing, great job wish I could join you man
Great one
Good old truck!! Make a good tractor to pull rail trailers or even local grain hoppers. On to the next one
Thanks for watching
I don't know bout Detroit but cummins n14 the tac moves as soon as you turn the key. That let's you know the ecm is active. I didn't see the tac move at all in this video. Love your vids keep them comin
Thank you for that info
I will keep that in mind
Thanks for watching
It sounds awesome
Great job wiley
Tough trucks and tough men. Wiley your channel only needs pretty lady,so to make the sale.😂❤. I wish I was your neighbor.
Lol
Thanks for watching
God bless you on this always from Jeff
YEAAAHHH!!...this thins making oil🛢...AND making ⛽️
regular man will it starts is what we want and need thank you for that
when you are firing off the either. once the truck fires up... stab that fuel peddle to the floor...
also Detroit has a ecm power wire that is usually at the batteries that needs to be connected
Thank you for sharing and watching
@@DontbeWily no problem. Was catching you on the other channel.
@@DontbeWily sent ya's an email...
I drove for this company back in 2014, I had a 9200i international with a twelve seven Detroit. I drug a dry van out of the same field you’re in right now PIERCE NATIONAL was the company.
Remember truck number ? Truck could have still been sitting there.
Thanks for watching
Nice old trucks ! Parked on plastic to help protect the underside ! DDEC Detroit 60 series is computer controlled unlike earlier series Detroit 2 stroke engines. Have a Blessed Day
Thank you
Great video Wily and Jacob❤
That's a nice truck to have been parked that long Wiley.
I agree
Thanks for watching
Alot of people are looking for older trucks. The price has to be right. You will need to put 20,000 to 30,000 thousand into it if the motor is good.
and still get 7 mpg or so if you are lucky, and not be able to do Cali runs. Great farmer truck, tho. Surepised that the AC still blows cold.
Dont forget to test the engine brake too (jak brakes) those are important
Keep good the good work on the video
Just so amazing 🤩 I always wanted one
Thanks for watching
Really enjoyed watching your video
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Hi Ya Wily, how ya doin' ???? Another great video of an old American truck. I love em'. Take Care, Best Wishes from England U.K.
Thank you
I love them trucks right there got my cdl in one my truck(single axle Volvo) is waiting at the shop for a clutch won’t get back to work for a month.. I need to get me one of those with a sleeper lol
I have the same Yukon toolbox.
I drove for Ploof Trucklines Flatbed division out of Tampa Fl .Used to run those old Volvo's that had no Air conditioning in them hauling 48,500 pounds of Sheetrock from port Tampa to Miami ...Talk about Hot in the Cab .be about passing out behind the wheel hot
Wiley awesome video buddy appreciate you sharing 👍
I drove for Joule Yacht transport out of Clearwater Fl back in the early 1990's. Ran 48 states and Canada I would be gone out on the road for up to two months at a time by myself
Why are you are a super genius on this stuff and you’re a lot better than watching Hank with his dumb jokes it’s about time to the guy that’s in mechanic knows his way around that stuff. He still falling around with his little tractor but anyways, good luck to you and I’ll keep watching your thing. It’s really good. He always got good info and I like the way you can bring that old stuff back to life. God bless you brother.
God bless you 🙏🙏
I am so happy that truck started easy fix with the wire I really like that body style Freightliner good deal can’t wait to see the other ones running and driving Dang it Wiley do you ever rest be safe can’t wait for the other videos
Thank you
Thanks for watching
If antifreeze is low the sensor in the bottom of the tank will keep it from starting on some models. Other models it will shut engine down after a min or so
You need 12 volts to the fuel pump and 12 bolts to the ecm to run
a tattle tale sign that points to an ecm communication issue is what i noticed in the video, and that was the fact that none of the gauges were working.when u wer first trying to get it to start.
