Nothing beats the sound of a cat 3408 I drove a 1979 kw hauling logs off highway in Canada Nothing beats a big cat for power and down low pulling off log landings. I hope the aussie's keep that big power alive forever

3408 and an air start. It doesn't get much better than that. Keep the videos coming please.

Nothing pulls harder or sounds better than an 3408. Great video.

To think this 35 plus year old truck is still getting after it proves that new doesn't mean better. Good to see you back😉

The sound of that Cat would give a jellyfish a horn 👍

Ahhh the sweet sound of an American diesel not choked up by emissions and allowed to run as originally designed keep on truckin boss!

omg, we truck drivers in germany are like moskitos on your windshield! go ahead, you are amazing!

Those gear changes are soooo sweet and then comes the sound. How sweet it is brother

Just had an eargasm! Love From Italy

Seeing cabovers brings back memories over here in the USA🇺🇸. We use to have a mix of cabovers & conventional cabs back in the 1980s & down. Today we mostly have conventional cabs.

Enjoyed that, noticed the road sign said Clare and Crystal Brook. Did a few trips riding along in KW's Melb to Perth in the early 1980s, the driver (his nickname was "Digger") always went via Crystal Brook to Pt Pirie and avoided Adelaide. 2 of the trips was a KW Cummins and 1 trip a V8 Cat. Cat sounded good but after some days and nights of it constantly the quieter Cummins was nice. One trip we got to Eucla roadhouse with 3 of us in the group and one of the other Fridge trailer motors had low volts on the gauge and the load of berries and ice cream in the desert was looking doomed, the drivers were trying to figure out how to fix it no luck so I decided to volunteer being a 2nd year apprentice mechanic, they looked at me a 18yo kid laughed, one of them said may as well the loads nearly hit the max temp, so climbed up had a look, shorted to reg wire to bypass it and fridge motor alt started charging so it was a bad reg, told the driver to just short it for a while driving for about half hr and then unplug for a few hrs and should be enough to make Kewdale, being Diesel it was only for restarting not ignition so high volts was no problem just long enough to charge it. I got my HC when I was in Perth for a possible Perth to NW run job but went back to mechanics. Still got the HC but mid 50s now, a bit late to take up Truckin. Anyway some years later I'm at the cinema watching the movie Mad Max 1 and there is a scene where a bike rides head on into a Kenworth and I recognised the truck instantly, it was one of the trucks I did the Perth trips in, owned by "Mick T", same colors and the big circle with letters MT in it on the back of the trailer, I was blown away by that.

That rig is a thing of beauty.Im retired drove in the states all my life.Love watching and listening, thanks

I'm 4 mins into the video, i dunno what sounds better the growl of the V8 or that turbo whistle. This is tempting me back into trucking lol.

I love this guy owner operator and a nice classic truck

omg, what a great sound. Turbo charger and BPM from the heart of two four-barrel blocks … not many of these here in EU … there's probably the land where its ok still ! thumbs up.

Old school real trucking. Makes me want to move there !!!

Years ago I worked at an aggregate plant and we had 5 Cat 769C rock trucks worth the 3408 turbocharged engines. The exhaust was routed through the bed but with the bed up it was nearly straight exhaust. What an absolute awesome sound, accelerating while the bed was lowering!!!

Air start is such a sweet sound

Amazing, greetings from the heart of Europe from Czech Republic.

That was the best three minute ending of a video ever!

that's a really nice music under the hood!! cabin on your truck! I see this vedeo many times! this is a beast this 3408 are a really good engine for pulling heavy weight!! cheers from Norway

Awesome video man! liked the 3 minutes of V8 Cat! You know your audience!!

When my late father was in the MN in the 70's he docked at Darwin which he said had the nickname of stilt city if my memory is correct, but looking at Peterborough SA its like stepping back in time which I kinda like.

beautiful sound! I love it! Thumbs up from the U.S.

Nothing for months and then a great video....worth the wait 👍🚚

Love it. Have always been a fan of V8's, having pulled floats with Macks for years. But my favourite truck has for many years been either a K100 or some of the later models. Yours wins hands down for me - this would be great pulling a Drake set-up.

Nice video,like to see the old country towns,brings back a lot of memories,Thanks.

Awesome videos you really capture the experiences all so well. We can almost smell the soot

Great KW, good CAT-V8 sound ! There´s no need for a radio :-) Like the bulldogs & K-whoppers. Greetings from south Germany

Hi my friend ! I'm French and the sound emeber me my Caterpillar dumper with the 600 HP engine !! My godness it's so good !! Greetings from France .

Only 3 minutes of V8 CAT sound? Its about 3 hours too short!

I love it,cat diesel enthusiasts all the way, thanks for the video, I'll watch more of them, I love the sound.

Reminds me of my heart and lungs last time I was swimming!.....Gasp!...loved watching this again!

Lovely. Tuneful Cat V8 and some very tidy driving. I doffs me 'at at yer.

DAMN IT !! NEVER LATE V8 .. DONT GET KNOW BETTER THAN THAT ...GOT ME TOUCHING MY SELF RIGHT NOW AFTER WATCHING THAT VIDEO

Always love your videos mate, the old girl plays a sweet tune 👍🏻

I ran a 1978 "A" model Kenworth with a 3408 DITTA. 5x4, with 3:55 rears on tall 24.5's. As you are probably familiar with........nothing screams power like a V-8 leaving a fuel stop & setting off every car alarm there!! Awesome videos keep it up. Love you guys. Would love to come over there & check it out 1st hand.

very awsum vid pard!! from the US! Cheers man keep her on the Shiney side!!! up!!

She sounds good thanks for the 3 minutes sounded really good

I've got one of the original 4 superliners out of Brisbane fitted with a 3408 and air start. 3408 was fitted as the E9 was about to start production. Truck is currently undergoing a full resto unfortunately she's got an Allison auto.

The turbo sound at 3:10 and later reminded me of my c-15 cat

Who needs a radio when you can listen to that 😍

Love the big cat sound just a beast when its pulling

Great video! Glad to see you still out and about.

Absolute fantastic sound Mate - this is OZ and the outback in a nutshell. I still remember the dogfights I witnessed between helgaairhead the bike and any of theese 50 plus meters giants - going on for a whole day, often seeing myself and the bike beaten by one of the mighty Cats. I could hear them roring long before I could see them in my mirrors - then suddenly a wall behind me eager of passing on my right side. I’m running a 43l tank on helgaairhead - easily doing 750K before a refill. Then after battleing for hours - flat out to the next roadhouse getting here topped up and back att it chasing miles battleing the same roadtrain for the rest of the day. What a trip, country , people and the smell if the heat. I even met the roadtrains when doing Cape York which is a handfull of corrugations both up and down. Fantastic memories - I might catch another trip down under as I still have me R80GS-PD stored at my brother Pezz’s place. Thanx for posting M8t. Blessings from Norway👍

I could sleep to these engines purring....😴

If I only had one country to visit it'd be Australia.

i enjoying see this vedeo fellas the beautifull music from that cat 3408

Your videos are fantastic! And the sounds are like music 😍😎

What a beautiful country ! Was there in 2016 for 2 weeks & can't t wait to get back ! Felt like home , we love the aussies!,!!! Salt of the earth!

Love the cab top ride----- keep her lit mate.

I drove in the USA for a few years, I hated the job, but I miss the trucks. I would love to send a few weeks doing this down under.

You can play that to me any time. That's not work, it's relaxation.

Of all your videos this one is my favorite. You can hear that engine inside the cab,.rolling over the camera, but my favorite is on top of your cab filming the back of your trailers and because is close to the exhaust pipes you can hear that CAT purring when you start reducing gears when getting to the roundabout. Thank you.

les 3 minute avec le v8 sont magique

HI, Chris! I am glad to watch your video again. Have a nice day, Bro!

I hope you have the "IF IT'S NOT A CAT, IT'S A DOG" sticker on your truck!

Those steel sleepers sure take up a lot less space than the concrete ones! I drive freight trains in California and I've seen plenty of concrete types but have never seen the steel ones out of the ground. Thanks for sharing!

Nice video, great sound.have a safe trip.greetings from holland

rode train very cool, hear in the US the railroad lobbies against allowing trucks to run heavier then 80k, but in SD i did 13 axial belly dumps licensed for 148,000. That the heaviest i have ever run hear in the US.
