JPAYDIRT has 2 uploads re starters for his CATs. He found a new source and the replacements are supposed to weigh half as much as OEM. P.S. how do you pass inspections with all that grease and oil underneath?

[@raywilson800]

my tools rode with me for 45 years evevy where I went. Brought me home more times than I can count. I used to throw a strap or rope over the engine and tied it on my starter and hoist it up to the bell housing. Great video hero.

[@scarlett-walker4908]

Dang Steve you said little Starter? that things HUGE compare to my car starter, i always think you need to be a Diesel Mechanic Instructor because you know your stuff..

[@kennyspry5189]

Steve You should have taken a little bit of time and degreesed the Oil and power washed it would have been So much easier and faster and cleaner to Work on...

[@kennethperian4370]

Great job showing and telling, keep up the good work. I put a new starter on my 3406b cat motor to I think 300 and some dollars and cents.well keep on trucking see ya next time see ya bye.

[@98Pete]

Might try power washing engine and surrounding areas before maintenance. Makes it so much more manageable ive found

[@frankhuggins9856]

Hey do you know where can I get the windshield sun visor that is on the top of the windshield in Chrome or stainless steel with the led lights on them for a 2002 Ford F-150 all of the ones that I can find is made with fiber glass that would mines that I have to get it painted the same color of my truck the ones that paired it does not have the paint mix will you please let me know if you can help me or not I will still keep watching your KZbin channel and your truck you call oh well thank you and GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE OUT ON THE ROADS I THINK THAT I WILL BE THE ONES TRUCK DRIVERS CALL 4 WHEELERS

[@gregolson1824]

Delco 39mt is the updated starter looks a little different because it doesn’t have a cone over the gear but it will fit that motor and is half the weight

[@Ezrider359]

a lot of times you can cross those old starters over to a gear reduction starter that will be a much better unit.

[@donb1183]

Just back from a bit of a road trip from Michigan to Indy to Cleveland back to Michigan. 194 west to I69 south up to Cleveland and back home on the Ohio Turnpike. Hundreds of trucks. Only saw 3 cabovers. One headed south on i69 hauling a tank - I suspect milk to the Nestle factory. One cabover on a flatbed being hauled somewhere and a quick glance of a cabover pulling an Amazon Prime trailer.

[@mikejackson5991]

Mr.FSC did you hook the temperature wire back up the one that's with the loam of starter wires ?

[@stevemitchell238]

god I dont know how many I have changed in 35 years of mec injector pump is not light either

[@betinho9138]

Any up dates on the V16 motor?

[@lonewolf744]

Your truck is the same age as me. 1984 was a good year.

[@stevemitchell238]

snap-on make a socket just for starter bolts

[@copperboy20033]

With all that oil and grease on those wires will that cause a fire if they get hot?

[@stevemitchell238]

that a lot of crap on your wiring harns !

[@Scarecrow6143]

I've had terrible luck on re-man stuff in the last year or so. The price beats new, but the aggrevation level and delays in return/replace take all the 'fun' out of it.

[@danielseelye6005]

It used to be "Pay a little more now or a lot more later" but with the quality of new parts being more and more suspect, it's damn near a crapshoot whether to go new or remanufactured. I feel for ya and hope you got your stuff worked out.

[@prevost8686]

Been installing Denso for many years. If you can get Denso you’ll be fine.

[@tednobbe7854]

I enjoy watching your driving and repair videos. If I were in the same area I would be willing to help. It sucks when your covered in grease under a vehicle but oh so satisfying when its fixed! On a side note please take care of yourself, orange juice is not good for you...

[@kw900lkevin]

Delco Remy 39 my gear reduction starter is the way to go lighter by 40 plus pounds

[@MjK931]

cool

[@billsmith5581]

Always something whether it’s an old truck or a new one…..they’re both a PIA hahaha thanks for the video Steve be safe out there

[@Warrenoutruckin]

Do we really need to hear u gasping for air all the time?

[@fsctruckshop6537]

Yes.

[@donwiley1055]

You can call it old senior citizen truck if you want to but I rather have an old truck then have a new ones any day because all that new admission control crap on the truck stay in the shop more then they do on the road so I enjoyed your video keep up and keep doing what you doing

[@timatwell3728]

There's always something to do on a truck seems like but another project done so keep the video's coming

[@kbuncan8819]

You can get any starter or alternator at auto truck and electric in fort Smith Arkansas he keeps them in stock

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve glad you were able to fix it in your shop stay safe.

[@harrywilson3396]

You’ll fit right in in Texas getter done 😎

[@tederdmann2993]

Didn't you put a starter in the truck last year?

[@loexel59]

Nice one. Please post more vlogs here :-)

[@MrJeast]

I thought that leak was fixed awhile back

[@jonhickman1620]

Great video, keep em coming.

SWEET !!!!!! 💎🖐🦍💪🍁

[@johnwudarcki9315]

Didn’t you just replace it not long ago?

[@danielseelye6005]

This is the video of the replacement he did months ago. With his family problems he's only gotten around to uploading it now.

[@danielseelye6005]

This is why you need an air starter: Much lighter, much smaller and _much_ more fun when you wind it up. 😋 It'll definitely get you noticed in the Truck Stop!

[@alexanderbeck5063]

Young (CDL 2 Yrs old) Driver here, Don't they use up alot of Air though?

[@danielseelye6005]

@@alexanderbeck5063 They can use up _all_ the air if you let it. 😋 Older engines were using lower compression so you could turn it over and light it off quickly. As the need for more power increased, they bumped up the compression, added turbos, put big cams in and the air starters were replaced by electric as they could go longer to give the more powerful engines the time to light up. Some old fire engines, including Macks, had air starters because they would be hooked up to air lines in the fire house so they could go and light up quickly. It also helped they were inside so the blocks weren't bone cold. It's all about the application and the location.

[@tater_relocater]

@@danielseelye6005 air start went away when batteries got better trucks used to have four 6 volt batteries and a series parallel switch to run a 24v starter . Better 12 volt batteries with more cca put the air starter and the 24 volt systems out of business . Military and buses the most common for 24v. Just my two cents.

[@alexanderbeck5063]

Ohh ok. Thanks for the Informative reply! Seeing as I'm in the market for a classic truck, any information I can find is invaluable!

[@danielseelye6005]

@@tater_relocater I didn't think about the batteries. Huh. Good to know.

4 batteries.

[@johnwudarcki9315]

Are you ever going to paint the rear wheels? Orwell deserves a little cosmetic love !!

[@danielseelye6005]

Watch previous videos where he's remarked about lack of funds for new wheels.

[@neilmcintosh1200]

One odd wheel is his trade mark.

[@jacklaflam9783]

Hey Steve, suggest pressure washing the engine compartment and the under side of Orwell before making repair videos. Does not look good and it makes people wonder how much is being deposited on the road.
