Brilliant truck, at least the throttle linkage is real and not a fly by wire type, otherwise you would never be able to fix a get you home solution like the bungie strap. Modern trucks would never be able to overcome what can be a simple breakdown without a main dealer with a computer. What a shame progress has gone backwards in someways. not all but it many ways

Real cool looking old truck, motor sounds like she's running nice and also nice and clean out the stack too👍 Great work with the wheel alignment as well, might give that laser trick idea a go on my truck one day too, thanks for the info👍. When and where is this Kenworth classic show on? Might have to do a trip over the pond and have a look. Your Aussie truck shows look awesome. Cheers 👍.

@@bush600r2 a gull wing always looks good I don’t have any trucks with one but I have one truck with a bullbar so I’d say this will get a gull wing I have no idea if that’s the normal practice but it seemed to work so I’m happy! The Clarendon Kenworth classic is held on the 3rd weekend of September every year in Clarendon Sydney NSW from Friday to Sunday I will have a video with all the photos put together at some stage there was over 700 kenworths and all kinds of other trucks and machines over the other side of the show so there would have been well over 1000 trucks over the weekend

Awesome job Jake, I thought those torque rods had wedge wash’s for spaces as well so it not only spaced it but could adjust the piñon angle as well. Awesome job on that rear end alignment. You did a better job than some alignment shops do. Looking forward to the next instalment.
@dieseldownunder.2 күн бұрын
Hey mate thanks for tuning in! I believe the top rod is the one you add washers in to adjust the pinion angle I could be wrong but looking at it that’s what I had always assumed🤷🏻♂️ it worked well it has brand new tyres and I drove it 350km and it hasn’t worn any of the little rubber tits off yet!
