WILL IT START? 1988 Kenworth K100E sitting untouched for 9 years....

well if all goes right this will be a will it start video actually no if it goes right it'll be uh it started video if it goes wrong it'll be a video of a bunch of guys trying to get it to start so anyways we're gonna give it a shot and see what happens [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] step one make some room we got action oh this thing's going down that thing's going down yeah all right on see if my my fancy tie strap you know i'm gonna make a bracket maybe just not quite yet is it going down well it's probably gotten a lot harder yeah all right i'll be back i gotta go get a handle [Music] there we go it's a little better brought a jack handle just before the triple floor right it's a 440 yeah 440 400. but with a 440. he's got cameras well of course oh it does it has the small radiator hoses so it's a big cam 4. i can't wait to see this did you bring a fuel filter no because i didn't know what fuel filter 1000 most likely this is the one thousand we have one so i can see if there's any fuel no i siphoned it it has the drain in the bottom so that's a 1000 isn't it yeah can't see yeah oh wait i got a light let's try the light yeah i know it wouldn't pass inspection just because of the frame somebody told me that you can take them apart and clean them up and put them back together but yeah it won't pass with rust jacking you know what what you paid and what you're gonna do you could put well it depends what you wanna do right if you wanna yeah you know what i'd like to do was what i would do is i put a nice flat deck on it yeah and use it as a little daily driver oh that would be cool i was wondering about singling it out i wouldn't i like it looks cool the way it is myself well and i think it must have been because i don't see any holes like as if it was chopped no it was shortened it was short it was shortened yeah yeah so the guy that originally built this truck is in grand prairie oh he's got a mobile home truck yeah he's got a t-800 that's spec right out same colors white with the oh did we figure out what kind of fuel filter it has an lf-1000 an lf-1000 ah let's take a look big m4 big cam 4. okay and there's the strong okay that's the throttle okay that's the shaft see here because it's a cab over when the cab goes up it extends fs 1000 is there another fuel filter is that the only one this is the air dryer and that's the power steering yeah but i thought okay i guess it's in i was thinking is there one on the bottom of the fuel pump no usually not on these she's a bit of a fixer upper a little bit of sand actually it's not bad i mean this is a little bit of sandblasting cleaner actually you know what even the treadle valve doesn't look that old it's blue blue like the like a was it the bendix reman yeah bendix remand valve so oh yeah how's that fuel tank look i'll go get a oh i'm not strong enough to get it open so well you know we got the gun show going i'll get her open i'll grab a hammer and uh looks like the hammer is being used oh i wonder if that one's even hooked up patina on them patina is right here i'll try and open that oh yeah that is a it's a i actually have a the kenworth filler cap if this is a kenworth thread i got two which cables to wear get your phone out take pictures oh yeah that's the easiest way that's a great thing with these phones nowadays i got a filter wrench yeah what the hell kind of filter into that it's a scratch it's a great one to take with you when you're working on the road because it'll fit any filter you have yeah yeah i got them big ones well i'm put some fuel in this other filter and some of that atf oh yeah i wonder if a person should put happy what's app supposed to lubricate well it's got a stuck injector it might wonder we should take this air cleaner this is a vinyl piece so we might be able to slide the batteries out i'll go get what i got to get hey you got lots of fuel in there i got gloves i got coveralls too i should probably put those on on after you're here okay here you can do batteries [Applause] we'll go get something hey jim you want a piece of plywood down where you're standing oh i'm good okay three numbers okay do this where you want them or you want them here probably there are now we're cooking well it wouldn't be a project if you didn't have a few uh challenges you know it's a good sign when they called for star tang flu ed maybe it won't smoke well it probably will with that atf in the filter well even you know these old cummins okay mikey alrighty youtube camera where to go oh yeah that's going to see what we're doing pass me starting food here i'll get it for you you get up there mikey okay all right nice oh yeah editing hey i saw a video on youtube like this push the clutch in yeah cause i'm standing on the tires oh you got the you got power you got a light i seen the attack move i'm only a little nervous me too okay turn it over until it gets oil pressure what's that turn it over until it gets oil pressure i don't see oil pressure just yet give her that's some but i can't run away because i'm recording here let's see that jim oh i'll work that over here i figured i should probably uh not just crank it too long in one like i do with the lawnmower well that's terrifying okay what else can we put starting with yeah pull that air cleaner it might be full of waste okay you ready yeah i'll tell you when okay [Music] okay [Music] hey there's no rod chasing yet let me go the other side that's what you want to hear you want to hear that big old knock i'm terrified but i can't run away because i'm recording yeah well it's starting to get compression now anyways hit the start smallest cylinder my heart is beating really fast yeah okay oh now smells like dead bites yeah i can't believe that things [Music] oh god oh it's definitely missing though uh [Laughter] air horn we'll call it squeaky i'll play a mouse squeaker you want me to try starting it again to see if it'll start oh yeah okay get this started can you give us a thumbs up a good one hey mike yeah your airbags all came up it really be a trp airbag [Laughter] get your airbags at trp peterborough pacific i got vice grips in here yeah i do put that line off too late [Laughter] amazing how that works maybe i can get out of here okay let's uh actually i'll try backing it out of here let's put that air cleaner in actually i should air up the tires first because i don't want to let's get this in and we'll uh just amazing i'm still just recording if if the brakes actually release you're driving at home back [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] what's going on [Applause] is [Applause] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] um [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] moved [Music] [Applause] for me [Music] is [Music] foreign [Applause] now i got 120. hold on carefully oh i forgot the brakes don't work [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] i can't really see anything out these mirrors somebody watching the other side i'll just start turning [Music] i well the verdict is she runs boys what do you think it's not even leaking air like i got the tidy tank going here so you can't hear it but um the frame is definitely badly jacked with the corrosion but uh oh my god like it actually runs incredibly well it does miss like they said it would um but yeah i'm pretty pretty stoked but yeah so check it out airbags we got the brakes released we just had to beat this one off this is pretty oh that broke right off huh yeah i think it's a tow job but that's okay we'll um we'll get her cleaned up um these are actually catalytic mufflers who knew i know that now [Applause] she's alive see if it still got air look at that 110 psi i've had it shut off for probably 15 minutes maybe 20 minutes while i uh put some fuel in the tank and uh i can't believe it i really can't believe it i mean yeah she's pretty she's pretty worse for wear but my gosh look at that eh i had actually up to 60 pounds of um oil pressure and uh you know what i was thinking about driving at home but i think i think maybe the smart thing to do is to uh just call a tow truck and uh that's what we'll do we'll use a tow truck to get her home but um yeah she's alive i just need to get this brake pedal working [Applause] well guys it's official she's running and driving and it's not leaking air the beauty of it is is it's got maxis the brakes don't work well i should say the brakes probably work but the treadle valve doesn't work so really when you're moving it you just gotta apply the maxis i was thinking about taking it home but i don't know do you think i get through town just apply the maxis when i get to a light but uh what do you think liam do you think we can get home should we drive it no say we'll make your home i don't know i think liam thinks we should take it no maybe not but anyways guys thanks for watching this is it the mc and the bear is coming soon gonna call a tow truck i was gonna drive at home but you know what i don't have enough time so i think maybe i'll just tow it home that and the fact that uh let's just say be happy with the progress we made and don't bite off more than you can chew so we'll call the wrecker we'll tour home you know what check it out like i know i'm supposed to end this vlog but it's aired up there's air in the bags it's not hear that sound it's not leaking i aired up the tires a little bit it's been sitting here while we uh bs for a bit and uh let's crawl inside and just take a quick look at how much air is left so check this out 120 psi this thing's holding air better than a new truck sometimes oh yeah peter mike is one happy camper so anyways guys we'll catch you next time and uh it's mc and the bear from now on that's the handle [Music] you
