Brings back memories of an International 345 V8 and a 5 Speed with a 2 Speed rear axle. My uncle had a few of them, my dad had a single axle cabover with that drivetrain. The drivetrain outlasted the Michigan rust. It was always a gamble after you shut them off at the elevator if they would start again. Thanks for the Videos.

Speaking of “being that guy”. One of my responsibilities at a former employer was to maintain a fleet of 8 trucks for a distributor ship. One day one of our drivers was making a delivery at a large factory. He was parked next to a long hauler that caught fire due to the exact reason that JT is tryna prevent. An oil covered engine caught fire and our driver put it out with his cab mounted fire extinguisher. Once fuel lines burn through it’s game on. You definitely don’t want to be “that guy”. Make sure your fire extinguishers are fully charged and up to date too.
