You're collection is starting to look like one of a kind. The Pete , Cabover with a V12 and now 3408 that rolls on a dime. Good for you man. Your face bringing home that Cat was priceless. Now that she rolls over... that's a large relief. That engine compartment is going to need alot of love...but you're the man to do it. Now you're going to have a huge dilemma. Which Pete tows the other to a show? I know you must be curious as to how she pulls loaded. Can't wait to see her roll down the driveway. Happy weekend man!💪

Now that is an epic find and you should be proud of it! Not only is it a 3408, but you’ve got the DITA version on your hands, which was the most powerful 3408 you could get from the factory. That engine will crank out 450 horse @2100 rpm and 1460 lb ft @1200 rpm.

I worked for a Company in Scranton Pa. One Summer, I parked my tractor because I got burnt out from the road so! I decided to take a daily job and get back to health So, I drove a Ch Mack for a Company hauling stone one day pulling a hill the Turbo went!! Well I called the Boss man! He brang brang down a new Turbo? and Gasket. They replaced it, I mentioned it to them they should take the tubing and intercooler off and clean up and flush it? They told me you just drive the truck mister Trailer Truck driver. Well they Rolled the Dice put on the new Turbo there young Mechanic that was autistic he was standing on the fuel tank turned it over! I was standing right by the fuel tank when it fired up full throttle, when all of a Sudden that Mack E427. Screamed to life and oil started shooting 30 feet out of the stack,s for about 30 Second,s till it run dry and then we all ran we told the autistic Mechanic shut it off he turned the key off and was holding it in his hand! We We're yelling to him pull the red knob engine stop out. By then a big explosion. I ain't never in my 45 years of driving truck seen a Engine throw internal parts thru the oil pan and split the engine block in half. That whole summer that truck was down it literally ruined everything in the engine was destroyed even busted the bell housing and ruined the countershaft in the transmission! and this ain't no Bullshit Story.

Great Video Wayne. It definitely runs decent. It would be nice to see it fixed up like your other trucks or at least driveable and clean up the original paint as good as possible. It’s awesome and needs to be preserved. Thanks for sharing your treasure.

Oh and mr cat my 79 lw started life with a 3406 , when I bought it from my grand dad , I pulled out the 3406 and my 3408 was a rescue from an madill 044 grapple yarder well over 500hp all day long

Dude, when that CAT lite off and sat there PURRING smooth as silk, I got goosebumps! Another rare gem and that shift knob. Creativity went out the door when the 80's ended. Start of plastic garbage with NO class began to kill the era of awesome trucks. Check out the low D.O.T #. Set of 8in straight pipes would sound great on that v8 as well the v12. Always enjoy the phrases you use with the sense of humor, love it!

Ol2Stroker brings a 4-stroke back to life... guess that explains the weird weather. Strapped the fuel tank to the drive shaft... uhhhh... I might not be the brightest knife in the chandelier, but seems to me the tank is connected to the frame, so maybe use the strap to hold the tank to the frame and not the drive shaft. Oh, well, what's done is done. Looking forward to the next installment.

I’d like to see the fuel system completely gone through and the battery isolation boxes fixed/replaced. Sucks you have to redo the air tank and plumbing but it was leaking anyway, right? Sounds good and runs healthy! Change out the air filter canisters, throw a coat of wax and polish on her, and she would look good as new with a good set of tires all around! Thanks for sharing and keep us updated!
