49 YR OLD White FreightLiner Sat for 17Yrs!!! Until Today

In this video edited by my dad. He and I go back to the White Freightliner one last time to see if we could get it to run and move it . this was the most mechanical work we have put in a video. Was it worth the effort?

Wiley you are the real deal. You do not edit the learning curve. Honest hard working people will save America. Your wonderful kids are a chip off the old block.❤.

[@donnieslaughter764]

Awesome guys

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you and thanks for watching

​@@DontbeWilyKwik engine starting slow down

[@MrLuckytrucker21]

You, never start a long-dormant Detroit, until you check for stuck injectors!

[@maxpuppy96]

Unless your Whistling Diesel.😂

[@taylorlengyel]

Wiley! That was awesome! To see that old girl drive out of there with you at the wheel still hauling its trailer and get back to what it’s made to do, that was something special, thank you

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@MrCEO-1]

Yea i doubt its going to go do what its made to do 🤣

[@donnienicholson6062]

And it reminded us of why old Whites were called Freight Shakers.

[@bobbydelamar606]

"Dont wanna get to lazy" Words of wisdom that some of the newer generation needs to hear.

[@ericgriffin397]

That ol truck needs to be brought back, thank y'all, be safe and God Bless y'all!!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching

[@kvancyldz97]

Wiley, I was really impressed while watching you. No matter what age you are, your heart has never grown old. I sincerely congratulate you for preserving your memories without forgetting your past while living your life without breaking away from the values ​​that connect people to life. Bravo to you, no matter what country they are in, people who think and live like you will have a say in the future of the world. Greetings from Turkey.

[@DontbeWily]

Wow, thank you! And thanks for watching

[@jamesbrewer-lk8te]

Makes me think of my Dad. He drove White FreightLiner for Chemical Leman tank lines. Glad you got the old girlmoving again.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Wiley and Jacob. It was interesting and enjoyable. Wow. You got it running. Good thing to remember to check the racks so the engine will not run away. Also good thing to remember you have what you need to shut the engine off if need be. Just need a few more items at you hand in case you need it. The old truck runs good. With some TLC it can be fixed up to work again. Sounds like the owner has it sold which is good. You got it to the point where it can be loaded and hauled away. Nice job Wiley and Jacob. You got it running and moving. Yeah!!!!!!!! Nice work. Thanks for sharing with us. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@DontbeWily]

Steve , this was about as much work i have ever put into getting one started Well as of the time I posted the video anyway As always, thank you for the comments and thanks for watching

[@frankleonard6570]

I can tell she(the truck)so happy back alive and driveable again.❤

[@DontbeWily]

Yea. Thanks for watching

[@wes11bravo]

I've not driven big rigs but I've got a soft spot in my heart for Detroit Diesels. When I was a young infantryman, I drove an M113A3 that was powered by a 6V53T Detroit and it got that 18 ton beer can moving down the trail faster than I wanted! Love the channel, Wiley - keep it up!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for your service and watching

[@shanemcdonald4956]

She sounds good except for it running away.Keep these awesome videos coming.

[@weepweep2225]

Usually a stuck rack on the ole Detroits after sitting for that long lol. Crack them covers open and always check to make sure the injectors are freed up! Thanks for sharing man!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you very much

[@ShilohShepherd]

Way to hold your cool, when the Freightliner was trying to run away. Great video Wiley.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks 👍

[@geraldcrippen1649]

Excellent job!! The video is amazing! That old Detroit sounds good. It was fun to see how to unstick the injectors and free up the rack.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you. Thanks for watching

[@micahhenry4998]

Awesome save Wiley on it running away there's several different things to do to shut it down when it does that taking a board or a big rag and blocking off the air intake or take the fuel filter lose

[@waltmorelan738]

Don't those Injectors require to be set with a stroke gage I was in the military and every 53 and 71 series required to de set with a stroke / timing tool

[@DontbeWily]

I am not sure

[@DontbeWily]

I did not do a very good job of showing the air collapsing when Jacob held the box over the intake. I could not get the Emergency stop unstuck.

[@richardvirtual1]

La admiración de estas personas apasionadas,el conocimiento, de poner en funcionamiento,estos camiones.

[@BobP-yf6qe]

Gotta love that "Armstrong " power steering...good job guys!

[@DontbeWily]

Lol 😂. Yes

[@BoormanCrafts]

Props to him for admitting his error, I think he got too excited, wanting to get it to run and overlooked the safety side of things a little. You could see he realized his error, as his panic begin to grow, though it was not a complete run away, you could tell that the engine was going to go for it, very lucky. But props for owning up to the error.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching

[@tyhogue8316]

When the trailer decking broke and Jacob fell through he did it gracefully! Glad he wasn’t hurt.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching

[@jamessmith7691]

Anybody says they never had something go wrong at all just never did much for fun. Good video!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you.

[@debcamp2359]

My Dad has a picture standing beside his 1 st Freightliner. ❤ your videos.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for Sharing that

[@stevespangler6042]

Thanks Wily. Loved it. Used to drive those old trucks.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching

[@M.Arbogast]

That puppy sounds good!! Music to my ears

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks. Love the sound of a idling Detroit myself

[@MarkMunro-y8f]

Wiley when you pull that cab back up borrow Hanks truck not mine😂😂😂.❤

[@DontbeWily]

Lol

[@michaelhutter1171]

👌 Super, Du machst es sehr richtig ich bewundere Dich. Du bist einer von der Alten Schule.

[@trucker85d47]

That was great that tree was the first load that old girl has hauled in a long time very nice job sir 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@DontbeWily]

Lol. It was like the truck. It did want to move on its in free will

[@paulatkinson2849]

The diesel whisperer strikes again that v8 sounds beautiful and it drives sorted 👍

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you

[@hammerok3932]

Спасибо! Получил удовольствие от оживления этого старичка.

[@GranpaTruck]

That PB gets expensive so whats ya needs to be doing is having the old fashioned oil cans which Harbor Freight hasand shoot all them linkages with uesed motor oil, new if you got the $$$. It works wonders and if you got a day or two itll free up a bunch of them problems. Glad that one did not getaway from you i was worried for a moment in the beginnigs.

[@DontbeWily]

It is expensive. I will look into doing that

[@Carlos-r5n2b]

Im surprised the drums weren't locked up trailer too. Its ah miracle 😊

[@DontbeWily]

Me too

[@DanielWeise]

Good Video. Jacob - did you break your phone when you fell through the trailer since it was in your back pocket?

[@DontbeWily]

He did not mention that Thanks for watching

[@krzysztoflatusek1077]

Smart Old mechanik 👍

[@adrianfrankowski138]

Another great video. More old steel. Thank you very much, greetings from Poland!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for watching!

[@erwin4501]

That truck has a huge smile now , marvellous !!!

[@DontbeWily]

And a good clean out 😂. Thank you for watching

[@phillipjones3342]

Well Mr Wiley I'm glad to see you get her going and you carry your own firewood with you

[@JeronWhite]

A good old truck

[@Sherlock067]

Great to see that freightshaker running again.Nice hearing that Detroit screaming to life. 👍

[@bobmoroney3643]

Last time I tilted an old Freightline the Clutch pedal linkage snapped. love those old Freightliners.

[@DontbeWily]

Some people give me a little flack about not using WD 40 and using the hammers. What they don’t realize is i used PB blaster several times and hood latches were still stuck. I did mess up by bringing over to far and not setting it back down. I said all that i guess to say this. If you ever have worked on anything much at all it doesn’t go as perfect as you hope it would. Clutch mechanism for you. Thanks for sharing and watching

[@dennishinton1760]

congrats you finally got rid of Hank. hehehehe

[@jeremypilot1015]

That old girl was like, You came to save me! I am coming out. I take the whole hedgerow with me. IDC I've been sitting too long daddy!

[@DontbeWily]

😂. Had lots of anger built up.

[@maxpuppy96]

Looks like an old Consolidated Freight tractor. Shes a cool old girl.

[@DontbeWily]

I think so too

[@paulfisher6142]

​@@DontbeWily ... With Dayton wheels . . . . ???

[@CookinCasey]

Wiley, you and Jacob, what a team. "You da man" That ol'Detroit sounds AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much to y'all for bringing this to us. BTW, thank you for everything.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks Casey. Got your message about Pops.

Great video, I love those old detroits. They were built to last and you got that one back to screaming again.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks and thank you for watching

I knew that you would be able to get it to run 😮

Легендарный трак. большое спасибо что восстанавливается. удачи вам. привет из россии. The legendary truck. Thank you so much for recovering. good luck to you. Hello from Russia.

[@davep9199]

Thanks for the entertainment. Another interesting video. My heart was racing for you when it ran away. Take care you two.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks and thanks for watching

[@rayploss763]

I'll tell you what you got some balls when you started the motor I thought it was going to blow up that's sick!

[@jethrosmadscience]

Those trucks just look cool. Is that the same as the one in White Line Fever? That would be a great conversion to an Edison hybrid. Diesel hybrids can power the world. I'm building one from a vw 4 cylinder diesel. Mechanical injection, manual start, and a bonus hot water supply. If the electricity is down because of an event, it's still going to run.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing

[@bigbill709]

Yes Sir Yes sir 3 bags full 😊

[@johnshields6852]

I drove an international cab over for a few years, delivering auto parts, Toyota, Nissan, Honda dealerships, it was great for getting in tight loading docks quickly, or just tail delivery, it was a sleeper but I stayed in hotels, APA based in North Bergen, NJ, think they went out of business.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing

[@Land_Rover_Tony]

sometimes you could heat it up in a saucepan with oil the heat will make the gunk soften up and hopefully it dont have any rubber selas i cant think if they do in the einjector and it should free up as the gunk will soften.

[@buntik1687]

Yet again another great video sir! Watching from Maine!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you

[@errolsessoms9683]

Good old Detroit sound to my ears

[@farmerbrown3768]

Reminds me of the Freightliner I drove back in “73” it had 318 Detroit with an air 4x4 transmission.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing

[@andrewphillips9123]

She run and revs LOL Not bad for 17 years outside. The motors good but the pump may need an overhaul. That cleaned the cobwebs out of it. You're bringing half the forest with it. I'd love to have that sitting on the front lawn just to piss the neighbours off.

[@DontbeWily]

Lol. 😂.

[@melvinthompson9635]

Good thing it didn't run away mr wily lol nice easy reach to start it nice job 👍

[@DontbeWily]

I watched him do somethings. Yes i agree.

[@chiefsmkin559]

Hey Wylie an easy little trick for them Carter pens a pair of diagonal cutters don't snip it but they bite right on to it and you can pry them right out😊

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for the tip.

[@brocluno01]

Have a soft spot for these one eyed "Liner's". Some (not this one) came with aluminum frame rails and aluminum front axles. They chose Jimmy engines because they were lighter than the other options for similar power. This appears to be a 318 ... Out west we were very concerned with overall weight until we went to the national system.
