This truck would occasionally pick up where I used to work (Universal Forest Products in Belchertown MA).. I learned to drive in a 1982 359 Pete, so I’ve always had a thing for them. I loved seeing this truck. Glad that I found it by chance here on UA-cam. Thanks for saving it!
25 years from now, I want to see a 2021 peterbilt start and run after sitting for so many years. I bet it doesn’t start and I also bet this old beast could get parked and shit off today. Then started 25 years from now. This is why old iron is worth what it is.
Ouch. Yeah she was hurt pretty bad. Can't wait till he gets the new engine in her. An old Pete and a detroit are a good combination. Just something not as common. Which is why I like them.
I randomly clicked on one of your videos, I’m glad I did because it brought me to this video afterwards… I grew up near the farm where that Peterbilt came from when I was a kid I remember when it was brand new… Paul had straight pipes on it for the longest time and it sounded so good it was loud AF… it was always cool peddling my bike down the road and having that rig passing by... it Reminded me of The joker rig on the movie Maximum Overdrive.. I would love to see that on the road again?! 👍🏼
I agree, it would have been easier if they had another truck, air it up and pull start it. Pull starting would have been much easier on the starter plus the engine would have been turning a lot faster than the starter could. I pull started an International with a 350 Cummins in 1983 (The international was a 1974) it was12 degrees out the truck had been setting for 3 days. Pulled it about 100 yards before it started but it was a lot easier on the engine, starter, batteries, and wires. If you don't have another truck you do what you gotta do.
Love the sound of those Detroit’s. Hope you keep us updated on the build. I just bought a 1969 W900 A dump truck with an 8V71. Doesn’t run, needs rebuilt, but I’m going to post all the updates on my channel. Thanks for sharing!
@@moparproud3978 no not really done engines just don't start in cold weather or for say performance diesels compression is so low they won't start with out.
@@giauqueford This isn’t a sled puller with lowered compression. It’s an engine with issues. Again, I will reiterate, a Diesel engine that needs ether, has issues. It’s not because they start hard in the cold. It’s not because they’ve got lowered compression, it’s not because it gives you the feel goods, any Diesel engine that needs ether is a shit box. Again, we’re not discussing sled pullers with lowered compression. That’s a simple fact beyond contestation.
Just enjoy it. Stop whining. How things come full circle. When I was a kid just starting I couldn’t wait to get in a tractor with a/c and power steering and all that bullshit. Today 36 years later I’d look forward to driving something like this.
I recon once the mains have spun it is scrapmetal unless you get lots o machine work done if you could even find someone with the capability to linebore such a beast
Well im quite interested to hear about how this truck is getting along ???? The engine sounds very poor (like it's about to do a final runaway buuut it's too lazy to actually go for it) Any updates on this Pete ? Thanks in advance Wayne :D Greetz Bjorn
@@Ol2Stroker Yeha it sounded like that one worn out engine... Buut where there's 1 Detroit there's usually a spare Detroit to put under the hood :) Soo it's still gonna be a beast of a truck :)
Let’s just load up that Detroit up with as much either as possible and A-blow the engine sky high. B-you have a runaway engine and it blows up or throws a rod out the side of the engine block.
@The devil Made me say it LOL YEP! Or KT3406E. He unloaded like 12 cans into some random junk detroit and it took forever to blow, people just dont fuckiing get it that ether does not contain the oxygen to fucking blow shit up like crazy, yes it can happen, but you better have lots of oxygen and loaded with ether. Most of the time ether just can choke it out and prevent it from starting cuz it displaces too much fucking oxygen! Its a simple fact, get a can and spray it the fuck into a weedwacker, lawnmower or something and watch it rev up, then slowly choke out as you keep spraying, and when you let off itll rev up really high and then go back to normal.
Am I the only one that noticed the trans fluid just pouring out by the bell housing?,you can only see it briefly but hard to miss a puddle of dark red fluid
You are going too do one or two things all that either put it too sleep or stretch those head bolts some much you will see the head jumping up and down on the block ?
Dog bone heads for strength for turbo ... i never under stood why they never came out with a better solution to seal heads than perimeters ring for head gasket
worse even still is in between the f bomb they have nothing at all to say, I just hate when I click rubbish like this. geee we drained 3+ gallons of water out of a detroit 92, I wonder what could that be. Now the answer to that would be a good place to use the f bomb hahaha
Sure sounded like it hydro locked and that's why it died and was cranking really slow and hard. 215 degrees is hot for a Detroit. That's the danger zone for sure.
should have done a little bit of checking the health of the motor out before spraying a case of starting fluid through if and reving the hell out of her I would have pulled the valve covers and the pan before I tried anything nice trick though !!
How long had it been sitting before you all got it started using a whole can of starting fluid and then reving the shit out of the motor not to smart to do to any motor especially an old dietroit just saying fellas best of luck to yall
@@MidwestSteven1 i guess maybe you never priced any parts for a v8 dirtroit before they are super expensive to rebuild but i guess if you got them deep ass pockets it doesn't matter good luck
Wow, how about slowing down and following the book, of course maybe you all wanted to spend the day creating a bigger problem. Based on the language, both minds are feeble.
Double o 92 was just a green 92 with an extended warranty and a buncha marketing hype. The silvers had over 21 updates to the engine for reliability as the green 92s almost put Detroit under.

I used to see this truck on Route 2 for years. Last time I saw it, it was sitting on Route 10 going towards Easthampton. Glad to see it running!
I tell you what the sound of that turbo spool'n in the valley of that Detroit diesel will NEVER get old to me!

Do you know where the "x rated Boogeyman" came from?? It's killing me haha 😆 awesome truck
It runs only took 2 starters and half a case of either
Hahahahahaha I know right...
It will be a bitch running down the road beside it spraying either in it
The memories of that flat top 359. I could blindside by leaning over and looking out the passenger window. Definitely a one size fits all truck. LOL
catliftresearch I used to open the sleeper door to blindside in !!! Or like you said sit in the passenger seat !! Those were the good old days!!!
Poor ole Jimmy. Grew up around them. Did not deserve what those dummies did.
I recall seeing the old "X-rated Boogey Man" running across the Mass Turnpike...definitely knew it was Detroit powered...
That’s a fine DD the Silver Series were some running a$$ motors
Put some fuel in filters it might run you're killing that old 8v92.
That starter is tough!!
You should’ve primed the fuel system first
FEEL SORRY FOR THE STARTER !!!!

Ol2Stroker there is one on there if a time lapse of me following it on a low boy.
I don’t use either when I need to get any diesel started winded bottle with a little gas diesel mix works great and much safer the engine

I’m with you. No power steering no a/c just gimme straight stacks a Jake and a dirty steering wheel and oh yes. A muddy yard with crazy employees.
It's worth rebuilding. Old silver 92
There was also an edition of it called OO-92 it was black , super engine
Those were a marketing gimmick with a nice warranty. Had none of the silver series improvements.
Man people are getting there hands on all the good trucks
Хорошо заводиться, но-долго, А, так, спасибо с Питера.
Detroit Dripper. Nice truck and all wondered what it looks like now
Love the videos I have a 8v71 Love the sound and smell
Apparently all the UA-cam experts start old Detroit's on the daily
I remember this truck in MA back in the day!
I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM THE BACK PART OF ENGINE. IT WAS LANDING ON THE BLUE TARP THAT YOU HAVE UNDER IT.
10 cans of ether spray latter 😁
How to Shift gears in a Detroit? “wind the piss out of it”
I was told the same thing by a old man said mash your hand in the door and drive it like you hate it 😂
Nice truck to fix up some new plugs and wires an points would probably help
Diesels dont run off of spark they run on compression

look at that beautiful detroit
Any more updates with this truck? I wanna see her with the new motor kicking ass! Those old Pete’s I love ‘em. Next project: COE Pete of course.
It sounds like the piston are swapping holes...
Wow what a beautiful old Pete 359 and my favourite yr and colour 🤩😳me want her bad
The injectors may be stuck
Gorgeous Absolutely Gorgeous 👍 Amazing what that spray can do to prime it forgot the name 🤔
Definitely gonna subscribe to your channel
Its still holding 15 lbs of oil pressure at 2500 rpm. 😁
Like a true detective, man those bearings are ugly!
I drove by bacon equipment today and UA-cam puts this in my suggestions
Bring back memories
Either called "American air" in Finland
Well im quite interested to hear about how this truck is getting along ????

Congratulations to James for helping his friend out who was afraid of spraying to much James is the man. Now junk that motor and get a cat
🤣🤣🤣🤣
If there’s a DD to have that’s one of em
So many butt hurt people whining about a burned up 8v92. Junk is junk, not everything is worth rebuilding.
When she stopped running I thought that I heard water dripping into the pan

This thing spun a bearing thats why it shut off this time and before we got it. We new it was pooched just wanted to see if shed go.
should have done a little bit of checking the health of the motor out before spraying a case of starting fluid through if and reving the hell out of her I would have pulled the valve covers and the pan before I tried anything nice trick though !!
Those bearings, yuck. Is that engine rebuildable? That will be a sweet truck when she’s all set!
Probably with some machine work but not worth the effort imo. Plenty of better ones out there.
Did you check the butter bearings
its saying i think i can i think i can
Is he gonna reuse the resonating Pipe (@17:15) on the new engine?
I never seen that on a Truck before only on Mopeds on N/A tow strokes.
you take over 3 gallons out of the oil pan and think it would be ok to fire it up and i thought i was brain dead lol
I'm amazed at how long you two pud knockers pounded that started without ever checking anything ..
That Usta be someone’s baby
If you listen real close, you could hear that ol engine whisper fuuuuck youuuuu.

Big mistake spraying ether into the turbo...
Are these engine problems the result of too much ether?
lol no.

Install some new fuel filters primed with diesel. Your going to burn your injectors.
Can't drive these in California anymore 😂. Unless some magical DFT and DPF conversion makes them legal.
Half gallon of either don’t hurt nothing ! Let her sniff all of it
