I cant get enough of seeing these old dogs come back to life.

Restoring a old truck takes lots of time and money, but when is done it will be priceless. Keep on trucking.

I’m not a mechanic but I’ve watched enough of these videos to feel confident enough to try and start one of these old diesels

I'll always remember what my dad said to me the first time I asked if an old engine would fire up. "engines love to run". So with a little tlc and fluids they'll fire right up and be ready for work again.

I really miss trucks like this. 2 stoke Detroit are awesome to listen to, and driving a cab over is something I miss.

I’m amazed at how clean that motor appears to be. Also amazed at how well you two work together

Just with your dad's video. I am impressed with how clean the top end is. even with sitting, no surface rusting or anything. great to hear it run, seems you cant kill these easily

Finally somebody takes her time and go through stuff and does stuff right thank you very much a mechanic myself I see so many dumb stuff on a video it was nice to see you guys taking your time and going through stuff in order to take care of a motor thank you very much you made my night

Nice job guys! open air, view angle on the 6v-71, and good camera provides a nice detailed look at what you are doing, and of course your plain and understandable description of things.

Love a old dirty Detroit baby and 2 stacks to boot yeah baby.

Those old Detroits you can throw them in a swamp, 20 years later dig the mud, turtles, snakes and what ever out of them, bang on the injectors and throw some fuel and electric to turn and their ready to do a days work. One hell of a motor.

Wonderful documentary film. Made me feel warm inside even though it was cold up where you were. Thanks Tyler!

They have half the top end taken apart and the injectors out in less time than it takes me to change just one spark plug on my 99 Ford V10!

The first truck I learned to drive was a Crackerbox. It was a DFW-7100, with the 8V-71, 12spd, tandem single-speed rear axle. Would love to find one like the one I learned on. Something about the simplicity of these rigs...

Nice to see this truck getting some love instead of blowing it up on purpose like others who post videos.

That's one clean engine she's spotless 😊

It was a pleasure seeing someone organized before getting on a project and having to stop run for toolsare going and getting other things to finish your start the project you guys were very well-organized great job

Very cool old truck. Thanks for saving another one Scott and Tyler and Kelly.

I love watching old ass engines come to life. Earned a subscriber my good sir.

Funny story involving starter solenoids for you tyler. When I was 11, I was backing my dad's 67 GTO back into the garage, and it stalled. The park neutral switch was out, so he had a hotwire under the hood. Well, it stalled like 3 times, I think it was running out of gas. Anyway, on the fourth and final time I jumped out to hit the starter wire, I left it in reverse, with the door open. It decided to run great that time :( backed itself into the garage and moved the wall a good 2-3 inches. Bent the door on itself, somehow didn't tweak the body at all (god saving my arse there). The car is fully restored these days, but I'll never live it down.

Love to see these old machines fire back to life! 👍 Good job!

I've done only one time an overhaul of DD 16V92 in Poland.Yes in Poland.It was a vessel.I can only say that piston is very complicated construction with seven piston rings.Greetings from Poland.

It looks worthy of bringing it back to usefulness.

So cool to watch people bring these classics back to life. Thanks!

Keep up the good work gentlemen. Well done. To those making negative comments.....you're living proof that being a smartass don't make you smart!!! These diesel mechanics are actually doing something constructive and useful.....unlike your stupid comments.

22:16 He starts cranking it. 24:50 It starts.

Nice job nice to see people who know how to use tools correctly

Dang the inside of that truck engine is astonishingly clean

Never thought it would be possible to smell a video 😆😆

I replaced many of these injectors back in my ARMY days

This truck will survive an apocalypse.

This thing is as aerodynamic as a solid wall 😂🤙🏻

I’m not sure why vehicle rescue videos are so addictive, but they most certainly are.

I love watching people do *surgery* repairs on old cars and trucks. You never know what your gonna find when you crack something open

Of course you had the help from the Bus Grease Monkey - one of the last 2 cycle Detroit experts around. Decades ago my father's business had a GMC Crakerbox day cab that I drove a few times. That screaming Detroit sounding like you were flying, but really weren't. I remember you could touch the windshield with your fingers while you still had your palm on the steering wheel. That truck never gave any problems with the engine.

Wow so clean under there. Hope your dad is paying you well, my dad always used me for free labor, ha!

Me: opens KZfaq KZfaq: "You wanna watch some people start a truck?" Me: "Sure, why not."

Awesome truck it's a classic and they don't make them like anymore but good luck with your project 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀🍀

😳the engine very clean

it will be difficult to restore the car. but necessary. Beautiful design. I like these cars. May you be lucky!

Always nice when you can work with your dad and on this V your not in each other’s way lol

Tyler hello that starter solenoid is actually a series parallel switch. So the truck runs on 12V and starts on 24V Joe

Great result: Well done!

If a vehicle has been sitting.For more than 20+ years.It’s always good to start it.Before,you start putting more money into it!!

motor is very clean for setting so long

Would be great to take a date to the prom in!

Love that sound!!!

Love the Crackerbox... I had a 62 that had been sitting for about 27 years when I bought it. I’ve since traded it to my brother. We have planned to get it running next summer...2020. 🧐I grew up seeing those. They had a weird sound, but were quite cool looking. 🤩So you were just working on it for the guy? Get more of it if you can...would love to see it rolling. Good job...you made it more fun to watch.

The beast is alive:)

Nice work guys!

I also had to carry a spare throttle return spring and a gallon of engine oil. The cab never rusted out with those Detroit's but you needed oil if you were going out of state. And the throttle spring broke about twice a year. Look for a spot to tip the cab replace the spring and you were back on the road. Running wide open till you could pull the fuel shut off under the seat. Fun times...

Keep us posted about this truck!

perfect Tools for this Job!

Rocker Box sure is clean

GREAT JOB GUYS

Schöner Truck und gute Arbeit ;;-)) Happy New Year from Germany .

Something wrong with that engine - you can get to both heads without being intimate with an exhaust while crawling through a hole i the floor.... Oh, it's a truck. Tyler's moving so smoothly and sooooo fast, a joy to watch

Amazing how he engine that was invented in the 1930s can be over a hundred times more reliable than a new diesel engine like the Ford power joke 6. Blow

Awesome video would be cool to see it when it gets up and rolling

That motor has 7.2 million miles on it, it's been to Venus and back, how the hell is it so clean

Not sure what I was expecting it to look like under that valve cover but I didn't think it'd look that clean

7:13 "Is there any rags?" That's what your pants are for.

Really love these cabover videos, this one and your dads! Also if anyone likes videos like this, a guy on KZfaq named Bruce Wilson in Florida is also doing a renovation on a old cabover, it’s also been a ton of fun to watch... Although it was basically new like you said here, it had only been sitting for like fifteen years... :-)

Nice old truck

😁👍 well done! ,good to watch

I’d love to have that old cracker box!!

You and dad should print out a copy of the torque specs and then laminate the page and place a magnetic strip on the back so you can keep it close by during repairs. 👍

first truck I ever drove. Mine was a day cab, so it was even uglier. I really did like that truck except that damn hydraulic clutch

Es mismo senati. Lima Perú. Adoro los motores.. saludos cordiales en la distancia desde Lima Perú..

I rebuilt a ton of 3 and 4-53 for csx in louisville in early 2000s . We used to find them for 500 to 1000 bucks. Now ive been looking for 4-53t with a jake and hell I cant even find a decent one for a project engine.

That would be a nice engine to put into a ole square body

Damn that's clean!

Yes yes my brothers !!alsum video 🤙

Пенсионер такой брутальный!!! Выглядит truck зачотно 🙂👍

Well it runs perty cool thanks for sharing.

That motor looks like it was barely used. Very clean inside!

I just resubscribed to your channel. Because I have a new tablet.

I agree its funny how a lot of youtube vids suggest a truck has been sitting for 40 years or such then they just throw clean fuel in the tank, a couple batteries on and crank it to life in a few minutes. Either it ain't the whole story or it wasn't sitting that long.

Wow! Its a monster!!!!!

This is the first 4-valve Detroit Diesel I have watch you working on! It looks like the cylinder heads are quite a bit wider than the 2 valve heads--or does the 6V engine just have wider heads than the inline 6?

Ha! I love that you guys are using Pittsburgh tools, maybe not quite as good as Snap On But sooo much cheaper.

Did you back the buffer screw off first on the Governor lol? Good ole Green Leaker. The 451 on the landing crafts used to have a Battle Position that would over ride the rack to full fuel to get off the beach, was pretty much “Running Away”

Esa película ya la he visto muuuchas veces aquí en KZfaq

Imagining myself cruisin’ through the WalMart parking lot with that rig.... ladies piling into the cab with me...

Que lindo debe ser restaurado! ,,!!!!!!!

Very rare stake box config on that.

Are you talking about Bruce Wilson “Will it Start” videos

Фарсунки внутри спрятаны под крышкой клапонов, а так грузовик класс обожаю классику ))))

Serious question: what size "lawnmower engine" do you think could get one of these engines turning via the belts? An old timer in my home town was always strapping one motor up to another to get things turning. Would it at least be something a gal could look in to?

Haha. The storm from the stack!

I dont know why America ever got rid of a cab over. All other countries are still running um. I grew up in a KWhopper and a big Ford cab over. Lot of memories.

I happened to see a lorry never seen before its awesome

Is that’s US cab over, I never thought I’d see one of those.

Four valve heads. Runs like a top.

SO much fun!!

Looks like whoever had it kept up on changing the oil. Nice

Into the wind 55 flat down. 👍

Some dude on another channel blew one of these up on purpose just for shits and giggles. It was a sad site to see and wasteful as hell. Glad to see someone preserve the old iron because as the old saying goes, They just don't make them like they used to.

Вот что значит американская техника!🙂👍 такая ржавчина старая и завелась!!!🙂

It looks like retired transformer :D
