1986 Kenworth with 400 Caterpillar Cold Start – EricTheCarGuy

1. Hi Eric, Old trucker here, 50 years on the road in the UK and North America. I would like to pass on this tip for cold starting diesel trucks. This is for extreme emergency situations and not for cars or pick ups. The battery must be able to turn the motor over fairly fast. Remove the filter, get a rag and tie it onto the pin puller or a steel rod, dip it into diesel fuel, squeeze it out, light it and hold it to the induction. Get a buddy to start the motor MAKE SURE THE FILTER IS OUT! Let the motor suck in the flame, but not for too long. You do not want the rag to get too friendly with the motor. In the UK we call it flaming the motor. It does work. I have used it many times. Regards, Al Ward, Canada PS For big Semis only.

2. U gotta do more trucks! And other machines that seem odd to others! Good videos! Cheers!

3. Wow, that thing looks huge! You never see anything like that here in the UK 🙁

6. The transmission display shows two Ns because you have requested Neutral and the transmission is actually in Neutral.

7. THAT KITTY SURE CAN PURR sounds like my cat

8. Well,

   Volkswagen, and the other German manufacturers are among the least reliable brands in North America.

   And Ford is the #2 selling automaker in Europe.

   So it seems your arrogance about European (German?) brands being better than American brands is a little undeserved

9. I saw a black 80's kenworth flattop with a kitty. Then I saw the auto. Not cool

10. Crimeny that's a lot of gauges :O

11. I hope seeing some more diesel videos from you sir, perhaps air brakes? Haha I tip my hat to you sir,.Thank you and STAY DIRTY.

12. @ericthecarguy. I just wanted to say that I went universal to universal technical institute for industrial diesel technology and almost did the automotive program but i figured that an extra 10k would not be worth it. Boy was i right, everything that i woulda learned there in an extra 8 months i did here in just a few months. FOR FREE! But no worries j.b hunt just offered me a job at an awesome starting pay that in no time i shall be purchasing some Honda engine series videos from your site sir.

13. Sweet, I live about 45 mins away from Pittsburgh, if you are still around that area I might bring my car to you and you could do a video on changing a filler neck 😀 (I would pay you of course)

14. That's a nice Kenworth w900a

15. Automatics are getting Quite better in big trucks like this.

16. that is very old (look great ) and big truck must be fun to drive it
    eric did drove that truck around ???

17. sexy stuff

18. You smile like a kid in a candy store! 🙂

19. It may seem cool to beat your chest and and laugh at automatics, but I get to witness the effects on the human body of driving a truck for a few decades. In addition to numerous health problems from heart disease, obesity, hypertension, back pain, trucks drivers also have to endure a worn left knee. And in many ways, the treatments are worse than the problem.

20. Doing a pti or vi doesnt make you a pro it makes you responsible. Noticing çhanges doesnt make you a pro it means you have a decent memory. And just because you dont get dirty during a pretrip doesnt mean your dangerous it means your smart enough to wear gloves. Smoking like a steering wheel holder that probably thinks that blue vavle is the bat signal.

21. BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Automatic transmission!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (cat kicks ass)

22. woow funtastic noise this is a real beast

23. wow looks a fucking cock pit in a airplane
