The number one best thing you can do for a diesel - any diesel - is a good transfer pump. Look into getting a FASS unit. A little spendy, but totally worth it. It'll eliminate the vast majority of start-ability / bad running problems. You don't know me from anyone, so if you want to check with someone you know, check with Steve Darnell. I think he's put them on all of his rigs.

[@otm646]

FASS did an excellent job at marketing and selling people a product they don't need. There is nothing wrong with the factory fuel system in this truck, or any of the trucks they make systems for. You don't need a $600 in line pump, there are plenty of less expensive OE style solutions. With a highly modified engine that's a different story but that's not where most of those pumps are installed.

That transmission fill shot reminded me that I did the same on my medium truck and it wasn't on a perfectly level surface. I was climbing the hill on I-8 out of San Diego to start the cross country trip, engine screaming up the hill at 30 mph and the transmission started to puke fluid onto the exhaust. Thought something was seriously wrong and had a mini heart attack in the process. Realized I overfilled the trans. Stopped smoking after about 10-15 miles of that. Made it the rest of the way no problem except needed to change the fuel filter a couple times (newer fuels knocked all the varnish from the old fuel into the filter). The old IDI was dog slow, but she didn't let us down.

Only thing it needs is ham radio system in it with a Texas Star 667 with a fan kit installed in it, I would use a Stryker, 955 or a RCI 2970N4 to run a straight 6-8 pill amplifier. With a Mr.Coily antennas on the mirrors. Then that thing would talk coast to coast when conditions were in. I would keep that master switch for the battery connection so if in a wreck should happen on the battery side you can have a quick disconnect so it will not burn to the ground. Still need to find the leak and seal it up boys. Adjusting brakes is one of the first things to teach a driver so he doesn't die on a big hill with a heavy load and how to come off the hill without burning the truck down as well with a brake fire or seal meting out of the axel. I would say if no jake brakes on the Cat get some and the brakes will last 100% longer as well and less adjusting them as well. I hop you checked the SWRs on that radio and antenna set up after removing the coax and antenna off the other mirror.

Its not a semi truck chassis. Its a Medium Duty truck. Its a 2.5 ton. My big trucks a GMC TopKick which is the same truck. Your 3208T should be 250hp rated. Should be a Eaton rear end. The model depends on the GVWR of the truck and varies widely based on how the truck was originally speced. Some haters will say the 3208 is a junk motor because its parentbore and but there good engines albeit thirsty.

[@chris6200]

There are some semi's that are class seven trucks like this one but typically a semi is a class eight. As far as class seven trucks go this one is quite large

[@TeamTopKick]

@@chris6200 The old class 7s are pretty much all this large. GM used to make class 7 and 8 trucks that were very simular to the Kodiak/TopKick and those were the Bruin/Brigadier. Truck class is based on GVRW and although this is large truck physically its GVRW is too low to be classified as a Class 8. These trucks could even be spec as a tandem axle which would raise the gvrw but not enough to classify as a class 8. And people treating these trucks like they are semi trucks is how people blow them up.

[@TheTalonts]

Speaking of WIRECARE...that truck could use some SERIOUS LED lighting upgrades on it. Get some running lights all the way down the sides, downlighting on the bottom of the front overhang to light up the side of the truck WHEN you break down on the side of the road (white downlights under it wouldn't hurt), LEDs in the under storage, etc, etc. Think OBNOXIOUS amounts of light.

If your gonna keep big red around for awhile, I'd look at swapping the rear suspension over to air ride. It'll soften the ride, and let you squat the back to help get cars in and out.

Wait Aaron reeves (flying sparks garage) workd on that in 2003, that's kinda cool.

What I was thinking 😂

I had to laugh a bit when I heard there was a 3208 Cat in that truck. I worked on a few of those when I was younger. They are not Caterpillar's finest engine. Reading some of the comments about air ride on the cab, that's not that hard to do. There are kits out there, but basically just take the two rear cab mounts and replace them with air bags, shocks and a stabilizer bar. Loved the video.

You SHOULD get with Adept Ape on KZbin. As he's a CATERPILLAR technician he can REALLY help you OUT.

Always fun time watching these.

Your wife is going to be ecstatic to see you bought another broken toy.

[@toddmccarter45]

I dont think it was broken when he bought it....

[@rickworkman4034]

When you said it has a 3208 cat , as a retired diesel truck mechanic for Ryder truck you need to have somebody drop the pan and replaced rods and mains .I replaced a lot of them because kicked rods just to let you know and use shell rotella oil has zinc in it .

Hey when you were going through the receipts from early 2000’s Aaron Reeves is that the same Aaron from flying sparks garage?

[@garykirkham5353]

I'm wondering the same thing.

[@elihujohnson9234]

Wow... I just realized that this Kodak cab has a larger cab than the normal crew cabs.. Nice!
