I have a '68 Pete with a KTA600 Cummins aluminum frame single sleeper 13 speed with a 4 speed brownie box. last time it ran was in late '80s and parked in a shed....what do you think it's worth ?

That truck is bad ass!!!!! Leave the tag!!! Don’t see it as much anymore!!! Thank you for sharing sir!! Can’t wait to see what you do with it next

[@Ol2Stroker]

Thanks, man! I agree about the tag.

[@mattmackay221]

Its called a pusher, it’s ahead of the drives. Love the content! The ole pete is sick.

[@minnesotatomcat]

It’s crazy how good it still sounds with half the holes dead! 😂

[@Ol2Stroker]

I know it was making me wonder

[@colestowing8695]

right? looking forward to seeing the conclusion

[@joseantoniocastrellonjr2568]

As for the air in the oil system, seems like you've got a crack in the pickup tube or the gasket between the tube and the oil pump is bad and it's sucking air and mixing with the oil. My two cents.

[@Ol2Stroker]

I think you’re onto something

[@stevencaka]

@@Ol2StrokerI was thinking 🤔 the same thing Wayne-O. This is a nice addition to your collection, no doubt. You’ll get it dialed in. Looking 👀 forward to your next video sir!

[@ruxoneto6560]

Or the check valves in luberfiner check valves are letting oil drain in pan & when you start engine 2.5 gallons fill the luberfiner up & now the oil pan is 2.5 gallons low 😂

[@maxpuppy96]

I agree with that it starts out with good pressure and it starves for oil I would look at the pick up tube for sure.

[@bowslap]

I see a “greasy-side” video coming with the oil pan off to resolve the oil aeration issue…better safe than sorry, right?

[@fsctrucking]

It may be giving you issues, but I gotta say. I'm jealous!

[@Ol2Stroker]

It’s a cool old horse. I don’t mind the issues.

[@hamiltonhoover792]

That truck is awesome! The tag makes it super cool. It really wanted to run! Looking forward to seeing more on this thing!

This truck looks cool, with the long hood, short sleeper, axles starting right behind the sleeper. About as compact as it could be, really nice look for a heavy haul truck.

[@Ol2Stroker]

I wasn’t sure about it at first but it’s really grown on me!

Really enjoyed watching you work I know very little about engineering but fantastic seeing you do your thing 🤝🧠💪🙋‍♂️🇬🇧👊.🙏

[@Ol2Stroker]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@joseantoniocastrellonjr2568]

Maybe that right bank has a fuel delivery problem? It's been years, but doesn't the fuel pump T off to each bank and go into each cylinder head. Then return to the tank? Could there be some varnish or sludge blocking fuel going into the injectors? Engine running, crack a jumper line closest to the pump, and then the transmission side and see if they have fuel gush out. If it just dribbles out, then it's plugged.

[@DanEBoyd]

And that right bank was chooching pretty good after start-up.

[@25vrd48]

Old 12v Detroit is so Cool . Waiting for the next video .

Can’t wait to show y’all!

[@noahkalnas97]

New sub, I just wanted to give you props. The editing, your humor, your knowledge, are great. Badass truck

[@Ol2Stroker]

Thank you very much and welcome!!!

[@dieselmann34]

Great job Wayno. I agree with taking off the passenger exhaust, to see if she’s plugged. That should fire that side off. Letting it exhaust out. But she is a treat. I enjoy what you do. And that could possibly be your oil aeration issue.

[@Ol2Stroker]

I agree. We'll have to check it out and see!

[@WeldingandWheeling]

Man I was hoping this video would be posted this weekend! Pumped.

[@bobbenoit9977]

Exactly bro we need a guy like you to save them

[@GerritHulstein]

So cool, I love old 359s because my backyard is full of them

[@christopherg9806]

I wish I knew what was going on here, because a 14 liter V12 diesel is just badass. I can't drive a semi, but this makes me want one of these old Pete's.

[@Ol2Stroker]

There was a point in time where I couldn't either... buy one and learn!

[@user-gf3mu5uc8j]

Pete with a dirty dozen! Beautiful combo,

[@tbas1972]

That shake weight commerical is classic !

[@Ol2Stroker]

I love that clip!

[@sheepdoglogic]

LMAO, you are definitely fired up and I don't blame you brother... Love the editing to your video's lately, more better for guys like me that are HDHD lol. That is one hell of a truck! There was for sure smoke coming out of the left side when you first started it up but it stopped shortly after.

[@johnporter1347]

I drove kw cabover with a 8v92 turbo for a couple yrs uphill I could.pass everything 440 gears 13 speed over loved it.i broke a leg while I was off the owner got rid of 13 15.speeds because other drivers couldn't drive them

My green truck I hauled this home with is an 8v92 turbo it runs pretty good. Sucks he got rid of it on you!

[@bobhoff5118]

Enjoyed the video. Almost nobody works on the old 2 strokes anymore. I have worked a ta 6v92 sence 1989 still one of the best engines ever made. Thanks look forward to your next video.

[@Ol2Stroker]

I love those 6v92s. They really are indestructible.

[@Drmcclung]

I can't believe you found this, in that condition in a barn of all places. Peterbilt always did make the best looking trucks, hands down. Never was a fan of Detroit's in working-trucks myself (the fuel bill, christ!), but they sounded the best, hands down! Always happy to see one of those saved too

[@Ol2Stroker]

Lots of guys say that but my 8v92 gets 5.5-6mpg which was right on par with everything else of the era. But yea, I can't believe I found these either!

All in all Wayne she's way better than it could have been for sure. Can't wait to see the reason for the entire bank not firing, that's downright bizarre! Looking forward to whatever surprises you were alluding to at the end. Happy Detroit 2-Stroke New Year buddy!

[@lilmike2710]

Way back in the early 1980s, back when i would go trucking with my dad in his White/Freightliner cab over, I woukd sit in the passenger seat watching all the conventional Peterbilt, KWs, and classic Freightliners in the highway with us. A young little boy daydreaming and planning that one day i would have one of them for my own and do exactly what my daddy did. In 1997 i got my CDL and started my career in trucking. Now here i sit in January of 2025 in the sleeper cab of a company truck never having owned my own truck. 27 years working hard and it's never came to fruition. 😢 It was all just a dream.

[@Ol2Stroker]

It’s never too late to level up. You control your own destiny, make the connections you need to make, get yourself a truck and get out there working for you! You can do it!

[@lilmike2710]

@Ol2Stroker I'm working on it. Before I'm too old 👍 I need advice on how and where to start. All I know is to work hard. Trying to build my credit now.... My Dad was knowledgeable but he has passed and his ashes ride with me now. I just know that I want to do better than just a company hand

[@Ol2Stroker]

@@lilmike2710man I’m not the guy to ask since I’m not in the trucking industry, but I do know that most of the recipe to success is work ethic so if you have that you can’t fail!

[@Ol2Stroker]

Thanks!

[@evanbeck3326]

Crack open a couple injector supply lines on the dead side when you have it running, see if you have pressure and volume. Seems like a lack of fuel flow to that bank. I am doubting there is an exhaust restriction, engine would likely sound restricted and you'd have some smoke finding the leaks in the flex tube connections.

[@arnoldgonzalez7377]

Good luck on your project.
