My eyes went to the visor before you said anything. Pretty neat.

When you fill those filters, plug the center hole and fill from the outside holes. Don't want unfiltered fuel getting to the injector pump. JD filters come with a neat funnel that blocks the center hole and fills the filter from the outside in, thus leaving filtered fuel in the center of the filter.

A suggestion when changing filters of any kind. Use a sharp punch, or chisel to punch a hole in the bottom of the filter to be removed, then loosen it, and let it drain for a minute. Now you can unscrew the empty filter without getting covered in HOT oil. Love the videos.

I’ve personally driven the parts truck you bought it was a strong truck and the transmission was smooth. Had the hopper bolted to the frame it was a good rig.

I like those visors especially when that have the marker lights in them

I saw that “boiling hot oil” hit your hand and the “shaking hands with danger” music cued up in my head 😅 Glad she’s back up and running. She’s a beauty for sure.

my dad calls these situations “the project before the project”

I used to work at Baltimore Mack Trucks and we had many a road service call. Many times when it was a fuel issue, other than being frozen, it was a shop rag in the fuel tank that would block the flow. Everyone learned to have a flashlight with good batteries and an old wire coat hanger so you could inspect the tank with the cap off. Funny how often this occurs. On another topic, I am very glad you had the dump body supported when raised. At Mack, this was instilled into us. We had a customer, 2 brothers, and one of them was killed when the hydraulic line failed and the dump body basically cut him in half over the frame rail. It was just a quick adjustment he was making and it cost him his life. The truck was maybe 3 years old.

The ending reflection of the glass and the dump bed makes it seem you're driving fast in reverse

I love the sneak peak you always include at the end of every video, some are more cryptic than others but I'm excited to see part two of that front loader

When you do your next oil change, Pierce a hole in the bottom of the oil filter first thing and allow it to drain into a pan. It saves a lot of mess running down your arm. I actually built a special tool out of a round rod and flat bar for punching the hole. Works great.

watching the wrench slowly sliding off the tire in the background while you were talking to the camera had me cracking up

"Died Right When I Need It" - the automotive-specific version of Murphy's Law.

Yes on the visor. 👍🏽 Loved the renaming of the parts truck.

Isn't it just great when you get to supply your own spares!

Howdyyawl from the land down under. I had a dodge 22ft tray top when we had the s rap yard. It had a bird's nest in the fuel tank from rubbish over the years. That caused the lift pump to fail. You fixed yours good keep on trucking😊

I got a set of line wrenches after rounding off the brass line nuts on my chewy. Good investment keeps soft metals from rounding over. Swaging fuel and brake lines can be a real pain, there's never enough line left.

I used to drive a hole in the bottom of my oil filters with an old screwdriver to drain them before taking them off. Saves quite the mess.

Matt, while watching your video l hear the Black birds in the back ground. I really enjoy listening to them. I don’t have any blacks around here where l am so it’s a treat to hear them.

My hat is off to the guy who drove that truck with a plow, salt spreader, and an unsynchronized 10 speed. Our township has one just like it but it's a tandem with a wing. You need 7 hands to run it!

I like the visor and plow lights.

One nice thing about the 4900 series trucks is they have the same cab as any of the old S model’s, from a 1700 right up to a 2500/2600. That means stack mounts, clearance lights, doors and a lot more will work on your truck.

Old equipment means more maintenance and less payments. Leave the deadline ulcers to the big guys. Love what you do!

Matt, 30 seconds in I said "lift pump" right after you said it started and died, I bet you can guess how I knew that :-) Nice tipping on your drive by the way! Nice even spread, thumbs up.

Love the Visor and the little screen on the hood.

That visor would help quite a bit in the early mornings and late evenings. Looks pretty cool too!

Lol. I like the visor. About an old used four-wheel-drive for Offroad and it had a visor over the front window and it looked ridiculous so I left it on there and it was actually kind of useful and nice when I’d be driving up the hill with the sun in my face, I figured it was just weird people from the 80s putting junk on their truck just because they could but I got used to it and actually kind of liked it after a while.

I love watching you build your life the way YOU want it! Very impressive! Oz Mick!

Always satisfying when you get it fixed yourself. Keep up the good work Matt.

Your happiness when you got Ol' Red going again Matt is truly contagious, but then I'm a bonafide gear head, so that's fuel for me LOL, keep rocking.

Yes I am so glad you had success. I love it when a plan comes together..

Glad to see your old faithful truck running again. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

A bad lift pump can leave you down in the "dumps" 🤣, okay I'll leave.

Always a pleasure watching you do your thing, you're a good mechanic! Yes, swap the visor over to your good dumptruck! :)

I really..enjoy watching you go thru the machines and repair them its a great channel

Definitely a yes on that visor swap. Looks sharp!

OUTFUCKINGSTANDING!!! Great trouble shooting the fueling problem!!!!! And that tease at the end; it lives!!

What a timely video, my Isuzu NPR is experiencing the same symptoms! I will follow your procedure and see if I can get it to run. Thank You Matt for an awesome job!

Thanks for the video I learned a ton. I had air problems in a 5-ton military vehicle that I purchased, but I'm sure that will be very helpful when it comes time to start my truck. Thanks again.

Glad you got it fixed and back to doing your job that you love so much

Really like your videos. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Your knowledge of mechanical things is impressive.

Good that you changed the oil. With the evidence of fuel behind the lift pump, it may have been "making oil" as in leaking fuel into the crankcase. My M35s are notorious for doing this when the o rings fail in the hydraulic head and governor. Love the channel!

Now that's how you spread a load of material! Awesome job!

Find an old fuel tank cap drill a hole in it, put a tire valve or Schrader valve in it, so you can pressurize the fuel system without having to go back and forth. It can also be used to fill the filters.

Definitely on the visor Matt and a different stack would top it off nicely

I love the teaser clips at the end of your videos lately. I can't wait to see what you do with the little VW pickup and if you take the loader home or not.

Always helpful to have a parts goat for older equipment

Nothing more relaxing than a nice cold rain when you're doing something fidgety.

little teaser right at the very end there!..👌🏻

Interesting, one thing I've started doing many years ago was filling oil filters too when possible.

I love the visor. All of my trucks have them. They are a must. First thing I look at on every truck. 👍

Awesome job, great troubleshooting, Thanks for sharing

Got your self a healthy beast again I'm glad you noticed the oil filter seal lots of engines have been lost to that dam seal

“It’s only temporary unless it works” ...Watch Wes”

Nice job. Back on the road!👍👍

Thanks buddy I think I have learned more about a Diesel engine from your videos than many others 😉👍🏼

Matt, next time you change oil. Poke or drill a hole in the bottom of the filters then loosen so they get air to drain into the bucket. Nice and clean.

I like your “flying” horn there

Used to drive an IH 24ft straight body box truck w that DT466 motor when I was delivering appliances for Sears in my mid 20s, never once had one break down on me. Only had one overheat one time because the hose neck on the upper radiator cracked. 3 years, and at least 100000 miles, just the one time, so reliable.

I love it when you fix these old creeks. I watch your videos as bedtime stories. Just love it.

Old truck driver here, I was screaming "lift pump" from the first minute. Great job 👍

clean the air filter too, last time you did it a pound of dirt came out.

Doesn't every guy want his own dump truck😊 THNX!

Nice looking visor and glad you have a parts machine that’s in decent shape!

You gotta love it when a plan comes together Matt. And yes, add the visor to old reliable

you need to put biocide into your fuel tank if you are not using the truck for a while , also drain the water out the tank regally to keep the water fuel interface down to stop the bio growth (the black crud in the filters)

Nice video. It popped into my feed and being I have an International with the DT466 I decided to watch. I've been a gear head since my childhood days. Recently I've gotten into building power saws. Lo and behold in the background I kept hearing that saw singing in the wood. Glad you got your truck sorted out. She's a worker.

A little fluid film for the undercarriage will help cut down the rust. I hate the salt in the winter, but I love the smell of fluid film!

Glad you got it handled without a lot of brain damage. Same thing happened to my Duramax last summer. Replaced the little pump and she was good as new.

The old orange truck looked like it had a fairly newer air drier on it to

On these machines, you should check/adjust the harmonic modulator valve just in front of the turkey gasket. There is a tiny 2mm hex wrench in the right footbox hatch door (it's hanging from a small wire). Failure to do so will result in uneven turkey gasket pressures and cause premature collapse of the spine valve ring cap...!

Love to watch. Keep them coming. My favorite channel. All the best from Norway. Kristian.

Yeah, I think that visor will look really good on your truck. Of course after you paint the appropriate color....=)

Good job in getting "Big Orange" going again Matt - well done! My favourite channels are: Diesel Creek, Watch Wes Work and Mustie1

As soon as you described what it was doing I said "that'll be the fuel pump". Been through that a couple times with tractors, always at the worst time. (and usually in the rain, too!)

you know watching this video all i can say is thank you to one of my former bosses who kept throwing me on doing diags and repairs of heavy diesels even though i was a car tech because of him i was actually able to figure out your fuel pump before you mentioned it so between videos like yours and the only shop that ever took a chance on a fresh from school car tech thanks

crack both oil filters, then pierce the bottoms so they drain while u eat breakfast. No big oil on your hands. ezy peezy less mess.

Almost guarantee its sediment from bean oil in your fuel try some Howes fuel treatment and good luck,love your videos

You are living the dream, young man. Working outdoors on your own land, and getting to work on interesting machinery too. Enjoy!!

Good work Matt! I like your single axle dump truck.

If you’re equipment is going to sit around a lot with out being used you need to put a treatment in your fuel that will kill bacterial in your tank and fuel filters.

31:30 when you tailgate your supposed to chain the gate so it dumps evenly instead of however it falls.

Good troubleshooting techniques! I like how you made great use of a part from your "parts truck"! Well done, Matt!

Just a tip that saves a mess. I sharpened an old screwdriver and I hammer it through the oil filters and drain them before removing

That flopping horn or whatever on the rad. Is cracking me up lol

There you go..... Change fuel filters at least once every 10 years, wether they need it or not....LOL

Great video, and great area to work in. I could not help but notice the tree stand when you were bringing rock in.

Hi ,i had a primer pump do the same thing ,it had a split in the internal rubber diaphragm so it would suck in air and cut the engine after a couple of seconds ,glad you got it fixed,

That visor is Billy Big Rig af

Great camrea work man!! Its hard enough to get a wrench in their! An your getting a wrench with a camera view

Love your iH 4900. Dont see many around anymore. Keep up the awesome videos!

Good job getting that started, Matt! Yes on the visor thing.

Love the videos Matt. I am not a diesel guy but am learning alot watching you. Question: Surprised you never filled the oil filters with oil before installing them. You do fill the fuel filters to reduce cranking times, so why not fill the oil filters to reduce run time while the engine runs to fill the filters. While filling the filters, the engine is starving for oil until they are filled. It may only be seconds, but with the higher compression of diesels and the loads imparted to rods, bearings , those seconds are worth trying to save. I always fill the oil filter of my Chevy V-8s. My theory is: New oil, while unfiltered and poured into the oil filter, is better than no oil at all while the engine is cranked and running to build oil pressure.

The visor would look good. I agree that it's a pain chasing a fuel problem. See you put new planks on the bump box. The ol' truck sounds good, brings back a lot of memories. Keep up the good work.

Good job!! used to get those old ones like that and every 90° fitting from the tank to the injectors would get cleaned out and then Put new filters on,usually they’ll run long as the pump Is working !

Hey to save getting dirty changing oil filters. When I use to work at IH we drove a punch into bottom of the filters to drain oil. Retired truck mechanic.

Check in with Dirt Perfect. He knows those transmissions and would love to do a collaboration with ya!

Now you need a road grader to grade that!!!

I don’t really know much about diesel engines but I do know that when it comes to internationals especially older internationals you cannot do wrong I particularly love the 80s square nosed internationals

72Enjoy your videos Matt, your little Red dump brings back memories of when I got my start in 72 with a 62 International 1800 tandem. Winches didn't have time to get rusty!
