Found this channel from Cascade Heavy Rescue, It lives,congrats

New subscriber here. Came here from Casey’s channel. Enjoyed the video! Glad to see the old girl started!

That's a good ol' truck. Gotta be transmission or rear end issue that red tagged a runner. Air in the fuel system and not enough cranking amps is what was holding you back from starting it even quicker. If that Cummins has a block heater, plug it in an hour or so before you want to start it next and it will light off like a new engine even if super cold.

Super pumped for the finished product . I am not even close to being a mechanic but this content is extremely interesting to me.

Great find and it starts! Great job Quentin. Watched you when Casey towed it Back. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. 🤙😎

You lucky man. That truck is a beauty.😊😊😊

Back in the mid to late 80's and early 90's I worked as a machinist at a pattern shop. I often would build patterns and core boxes also. I remember build vale bodies and core boxes for Eagle Pitcher.

4800 new subs in 1 day! Good for you!

No priming pump on that model of Cummins, its self priming when you turn the engine over.

Those are good engines. My father had that same engine also knows as the Cummins Big Cam 3 in a 1989 Kenworth K100 that was an ex Warner Truck. Bought used with 300,000 miles on it and when he drove it to the grave yard in Toledo, OH in 1998 it has 2.3 Million miles on it, never rebuilt to his knowledge. Ran but was tired.

If you would have primed the fuel filter and had your battery charger hooked on positive to one battery and negative to the other one you might have had better luck starting sooner. That’s all part of the experience. I think you will do good with the truck, and look forward to seeing your journey.

Thanks for sharing! Stay true to yourself and carry on!

I'm impressed you got it running wit that 10 year old fuel in it :D

New subscriber here. Came here from Casey's channel. Enjoyed the video! Glad to see your truck started.

Awesome, dude! And I see your viewership has spiked. Good for you!

Love old trucks thanks for saving it

This was awesome. I was on the edge of my chair sayin “come on ole girl”

Glad there wasnt anything wrong with engine,and cooling system was good,the best part was getting it running,good ole Cummings in a good ole Peterbuilt!

Great start looking forward to the build

Great progress and glad the truck's worth the effort! Only problem is that you said the truck had to have a major problem for the mine to park it for so long. Have you figured that out yet?

You could had saved your self a lot of trouble if you had bled the injectors when you first got it turning over . Sounds good , hopefully the smoke will clear up with some decent fuel . Looks like you scored a good one .

Awesome truck, all you need is $$$$ and time…can’t wait to see it on the road again

I was yelling at the screen: Put some fuel in it! Guess there was enough, but adding some fresh would still be a good idea. Liked and subscribed.

Pretty cool.. she runs surprisingly well after sitting so long. Thanks for the video.. new subscriber here.

Love these old machines. About the runaway... shouldn't you have removed inlet pipe so you can use a plank or similar, because if t starts to run on engine oil the only thing you can do is to kill all air? Nice job anyway!

New to the channel. I love that truck and can’t wait to see the finished product.

Christ, I'm sitting here yelling with you when She started! The Ol' Girl is back! Ridiculously excited about this!

Came over from Casey's channel where you went to pick this up from a non-disclosed area. I have seen cans and cans of starter fluid used on many channels to get diesel engines started. Vapor lock I have heard of, but starter fluid vapor lock I have not. Interesting bit of information I have learned today. See kids, a Boomer(1959) can still learn something new. Keeping it in my memory is the real test. So, good luck, and tail winds. AL Reichert

I believe that many 1984 Pete and KW trucks had 24 volt starting systems, with 12 volts everywhere else. That could be the cause of the slow turnover of the engine. Your batteries were only putting out half of what it wants.

Badass! Can’t wait to see this rolling!

Thanks for sharing, Q.

Beautiful!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!! 👍❤️👍

I saw u recover truck with Casey I just hit subscribe and like hell ya, nice old pete

First day watching the channel and yes I did subscribe and I am really looking forward to what you do with that truck

Awesome! Can't wait to see what this becomes.

Glad this old girl is getting a new lease on life. Imagine if these machine made of metal rubber and plastic had emotions and how dejected she'd feel when she was just basically put to pasture to rot to death.

Man , gone from 617 subs yesterday to over 5,000 today , awesome !

All I could think about is...What Matt from Diesel Creek would do. 1st check oil..air cleaner...fuel...radiator. First sign of turning over...Bleed I injectors... Then...CONTACT!!

I just love that shop ❤

I may have missed it, but, was the clutch pedal depressed while trying to start it? Even with the transmission in N, there is still a load on the engine with the clutch out. With the pedal down it is easier on the starter too.

She's got the old tattle tail on the dash I see sweet rig driv,ah. I subscribed

The shops I worked at we used WD40 instead of ether. No ether lock that way. And helps lube the cylinders.

Great video and cool that it crank up after sitting my only tip for you put some fuel in it

Well done you have true determination I will give you that because you never gave up and you got it to run. I am looking forward to seeing the plans you have for the truck. I love this channel I am a big fan of old school vehicles

Drove a truck like that back in the 80s. Can’t wait to see you get er done.

Congrats on the old truck starting.

Sweet truck. You should make a service truck out of it.

is that a block heater port there by the air cleaner with hood up. ???

glad you started making vids!

Like already mentioned, a bit of clean fuel, bled through and a decent battery would have saved a lot of time.

Silent bob in the driving seat 😂

So wise , Thank You . Thankfully that 10 year old Diesel was not as crap as what we are stuck with today.

5min with an air compressor or leaf blower to de dust that thing would be the 1st first step.

Never heard it called smelling salts before.

My favourite engine cummins big 3 driven a kenworth w900 with that engine type they are low cost maintain engine cheers bro

Great find and super that it started. Hopefully the trans and drive train are in just as good of shape?

Looks like a roll back body would work well for your future adventures. Carry on!

"smelling salts" lol

It’s alive,nice find

Pull boot off turbo in side spray WD 40 or an oil based penetrating oil straight into turbo , butane or propane propellant with lube stuff should crank . Heat gun set on high prewarms cylinder for ease of cranking as engine is rolled over...

as Old Peg would say: "look at her CHEECH!!!!" lol

No rest for the wicked! May it warm up a bit and may the farmer put a small generator out by the Case to run the block heater for the second attempt.

How much did you pick it up for.if you don't mind me asking?

it is not Spinning fast enough, put on a full pack of batteries.... my 7.3L will not fire until it is over 150 RPM, and 500 PSI on fuel pressure, put some more diesel in the tank

You could bob the frame and put a military trailer on there, like they do the 5 tons.🤔😉😄😁😁😁

Wasnt the starting system on them older Trucks 24 V?

That 350 big cam will out run the red x15

Wahoo !!!!!! It's alive 👍🏽👍🏽💕

Rite On its nice to see one running after someone else left it for dead..

Is this needing 24 volts to the starter? Most older trucks I’ve driven had 24 volt starters. And more batteries to increase amperage.

It's alive ! It's ALIIIIIVE !!!!

Great dude

You gave the game away at the preview! You answered the question which is also your title.

Casey's channel brought me here.

You couldn't mention the name of the mine but you've shown the name on the doors more than once lol

This old truck is nice

Wow just wow. Good job.

looking forward to this.

awesome👍👍

Compression release?

Love it!

May I suggest they all they either will wash the liners out and cause more harm than good. Just my opinion

The Illinois Railway Museum has a locomotive from Eagle Pitcher.

Did you check the oil. I didn't see ya. But, sweet getting it going.

Fuel filters not gummed up after all that time sitting?

That battery set isn't so good 🥺

That isn't a Peter it is a real Peach !

You got heating oil in the fuel tank too so it makes it harder to start too

Tube??!? Looks like a hose to me.

Quinton great content your a jammy sod ten years sat without turning a cog

Sweet will be watching

What happened with your Peterbilt ? Please give us an update!

It would have helped to just hook the charger on start mode direct to the starter.

The Cummins has a PT injection system - Pressure Time injectio . Here’s a video the shows how the system works kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kKhyhbpjydy3aZ8.html

Great content. Maybe cool it with the "bring the thunder" and the other over used cliches.

New sub my G watch it on Casey channel looking good ☺️

That was the first Pete I bought flat top brand new wish I still had the girl

free is great price. I wish you well.

Really fun content. Only thing (and it might just be me) is the finger wagging in front of the camera is not needed and a little annoying.

so you gonna build ya a heavy wrecker.
