Hey jake, if you put the radiator cap back on one click it can’t pressurise and put water in the engine compared to having the cap done up all the way, just an old truck I learned from my dad and have used several times when I’ve had radiator issues etc, keep up the great work we all love watching what you do👌🏻😊👌🏻😊👌🏻😊

Good to see the old girl on the road an the blue cicle kw i remember was a tan colour not a brite yellow back in the 80s an 90s an back in the 80s one of my 1st jobs was changing tyres an give me a spider wheel anyday i hated bedford hubs an all those dam wheel nuts . Cheers mate 🇦🇺

Cheers Peter great to have some aussies watching, that’s it the classic mustard colour I’d love to paint it back to the blue circle colour scheme but I’m still undecided at this stage! I agree I love spiders Never had to touch a Bedford but they would have been a heavy steel wheel aswell I guess?

If it's got teeth, you've gotta clean em!!! As a young bloke I used to spend a bit of time in an Acco 3070, with a 903, and a RR, an Acco 2150 with a 555, and a RR, and a Kenny SAR with a 350 Cummins and a RR. The Kenny was the best drive. I spent 2 years in it in the Kimberley's in Western Australia, and only got to the bitumen once!!! Still love the sound of the V8 though. Great stuff mate. Keep going. BTW, A turbo will wake it up a but on the hills, gives you a bit more time between shuffling cogs

[@dieseldownunder.]

Driving the Sar as a young bloke would have been great fun! It must have all been very remote to only use a bitumen road once, what a great experience I think that’s the plan when I rebuild it to upgrade it to a turbo CPL thanks for watching

Tell us more about your 5th wheel, never seen one like that here in the USA

[@dieseldownunder.]

They are very common here we still have fixed turntables (5th wheels like you) but this one is called a ball race the trailer would have a block bolted behind the kingpin which stops the trailer turning on the turn table plate and makes the ball race turn instead which is just a big bearing basically, the reason behind it is it improves the handling/turning of the truck, reduces wear on the turn table plate and jaws, and gives a wide foot print at the base giving the trailer better stability, oh and also more suitable for heavy loads!
