GMC Truck 471 Detroit diesel coming back to life after 25 yrs. 1st start

idle for the last 25 years with the exhaust valves open, yes, so humidity and temperature changes build up a little rust on the valve seat. and you know, the valve seat, so it can't when it closes, it doesn't close all the way, so it doesn't compress and the air goes through it, but it just runs it for a moment and breaks it. in and out. sometimes and things like that usually come in a few minutes here, so we'll see, but I can, I can feel them, I can feel the vibration, not impressed, I'm really impressed, well, I even added a couple of hours, that's how it was. you knowIt's not too much, these are good old engines, these things want to run so I don't want to do it too much, I thought about the valve cover because I'm blowing dirt everywhere so the top will need an oil change and everything anyway, but I'm just one of them.

You

start

ed with the jaws on the rack because if the governor gets something stuck there or something, then the engine

start

s, but the governor was responding to everything he was doing to it and it would come

back

on. the spring so we can put the valve cover

back

on from time to time we can rev it up a little bit more. I didn't want to go too high just because you saw all the dust and dirt floating around here. I got it, oh, but it always makes your heart beat, you know, the first time, you never know what's going to happen to it, yeah, all right, we'll check the dipstick here in a minute and make sure there's no coolant. in the oil because now that the coolant was pushed in there, those O-rings, when they seat, can mess up the head and stuff, so I don't see any sign of oil mixing here, yeah, we'll see how it goes here.

I was telling Mark that. The irony of this is that this

truck

started with the fuel that was in the tank and if you try it with a year's worth of gas today, you will run out of gas, but in 35 years this thing not only runs, it runs on the fuel that was in the tank. Something incredible, I love

diesel

. Yeah, you can't be okay. Here we'll give you a view of the board, so we were generating air. The tank had a valve that was open. We had an air one. leak in the divider, we just plugged it, we don't always have breaks or lines on the other end, so we're good, well the pressure was very good, we had a very good reading that the other cylinder was starting to rev at high rpm , so it will eventually arrive completely.

I have complete faith in that, so we're going to start here, build up some air pressure, release the brakes. Mac heater here, you know what, give me a second. I'm going to go check the coolant again real quick just to make sure we're still full and there's something

coming

out, take the - look here, let's move on. and start her up and stop soon, you're going to hit her enslaved at once, yeah, come back down, you try to free that. Gregg looked like they released him there now, we're under 60, oh yeah, let's go down shall we, is he getting some air?

Is He giving You a reading yet or not? He wouldn't do anything more than that. I don't think you look at your face, man. I think that will help you. Yes, that will help you. Go ahead and get it going. Maintain the alternator charge. Series. Our game. we built an air, you know, for airbrushing, yeah, they wanted to make the brakes probably freeze, go ahead, run, hit the brakes a few times, pump them, okay, it wants to move, so we have to release these rear brakes. We're just sitting there rusty to the drums right now, I've never seen a back end like that before we were two pumpkins like upside down, so one moved.

I'm going to get this one stuck, but this will go in one more time, so I can see the other one just step on it and hold it release one more time release yeah, they're both still stuck this was the car broke down okay, great account, that's true, yes, only one that is going to wear out, so we have a bad clutch. I had just started it with the wheels blowing, it's grabbing a little bit, but as soon as I hit the brakes the engine was still running, it didn't even stall, but the clutch is bad down here, looking at the clutch, yeah .

I don't like spiders, they're like things from Raiders of the Lost Ark, they're like them, they're like the densest web-infested thing I've ever seen, but that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when she has to reach your hand. through those things, that's what I feel like I'm getting ready to do, it's hard in there, that's why the spider webs are so dense it's almost like the consistency of wool, it's okay, I'm alive just because I'm not I saw nothing of them still crawl around me, otherwise I wouldn't, yeah, I'd scream like a girl, okay, can you step on the clutch for me, yeah, let go, step on it until you tell me, when it gets hard, Is it hard all the way?

Okay, you can let it go. Yeah, I wanted to say a big thank you to Scott for

coming

and giving me a couple hours and Kelly, thanks for filming. We did this in about 3 or 4 hours, not just straight, thanks for taking the time for someone you didn't know. coming to Oregon and making this video I hope you all enjoy it a lot. I sure did, thanks for having us, it was fun, thanks, yes, yes, that would be a really good project for someone, nothing is good, well here it is, but yes, unfortunately I have a gasoline engine and it would be nice if it didn't You'll remember I was up there going up in the 18:26 26 which is a T Model T with handles with all the fenders and running boards and tell me what they had done to the engine.

They turned it from a flathead four to an overhead valve because he has a piece with his brother's head on it and they turned it into something and put buffalo racing wheels on it so it has a real knockoff. The wheels are on the back shelf that belonged to My great uncle bought it and did all those modifications. We have three black and white photos of him racing at Indianapolis and again he wasn't in a race he was doing a time trial at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and it takes a good snapshot of

life

yeah original painting that's awesome my favorite place is at the windshield you'll see that sticker if there's a little red cab yeah clean okay I want the extended bumper to be a pressurized water tank for cooling and mom. and dad used to do the explosive depression series, they cross-sell, depression man, that's a good way, so it still works if we did what we did, yeah, very good.

The engine is a single cylinder, stationary Fairbanks-Morse

diesel

, what year do you think it is? a crank starter someone will know what year it is, it's good, it has a little more precedent, it was fired when you caused that damage to it, you buy it, what is that? Colleen, huh, it's a stationary engine on a trailer that you know had a power take-off. but what is this? This is an 81 81 Hello brand I frame diesel 1.8 liter diesel a lot of cool bikes what a cool place for you it's just the old barn for me it's a really cool book those are those are military some nice woods in here new tires that are 50 years old , so what you stopped using in this car became yes, these are the headlights that are not broken yet and what was behind here even looks like the design of that rudder over there or wherever it is, we will bloom something that that little Paris that the tractor thought was parked there, I mean it's actually free and I suspect it's a little job in India that started when you put it on blocks, you know, so they don't sit there and move the tires, yeah , was a cashier, although Bar David Bradley in his Wow, was just an all-purpose.

Remember watching an American restoration on the History Channel once and Rick restored one of those David Bradleys like what a cool 59 GMC. gasp, gas killer bodies and you have the world's largest collection of Isuzu puppies. Do you think you have his caregivers? 38:30 It's his house, but my son's friend has a puppy. Do you buy and sell spare parts for the Pope's people? Okay, now love. It's the same thing, yes, you may have the largest collection of Susie accessories in the world.
