Glad you guys got to this one early. Too bad they let it sit and go to heck that away, but it's not too late to bring it back. Nice job Wiley!

[@DontbeWily]

Hopefully they can move it soon.

[@ronnieperdue2977]

The old runs as smooth like a river of water 💦

[@DontbeWily]

Yes

[@CarCommentator]

Incredible job! The meticulous work and heartfelt approach to restoring this car are beautifully showcased

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you very much!

[@Spencer02]

The freightliner cascadia is a nice looking semi truck, I seen a lot of owner operators with the built in generator. Saves wear a tear on the motor, I think it's a good idea to have one on the semi truck. Awesome video Wiley 👍👍👍👍. I agree Wiley that motors runs great, needs a power wash, clean up the inside and be a good semi truck.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for watching and sharing

[@davida.p.9911]

Just needs a little pressure washing to be nice. Good job Wily!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you and yes it does

[@igorsatler7750]

Thank you Wily-team. Your channel is the best update of remembrance!

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you

[@kg4muc]

Not a bad looking truck at all. Ole DD15 fired right off after the batteries built up a little. A little scrub with a pressure washer and that truck would look great 👍. Great job Mr Wiley!!

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks and thank you for watching

[@jimthetrucker]

I have a 2010 t660 kw with a tripac that came with it and it keeps me cool and charges my batteries and keeps the engine warm for cold starts. It has a diesel heater that came with it for Winter. The generator saved me idling and made my truck payments easier from the savings plus the engine wear. If you add oil to the tripac go very slow and let it settle before adding more. This way nothing gets oil fouled. You can always send me a msg for my cell number if you want any help or tips on the tripac.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for that info. I didn’t know anything about a tri pac before I will

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Wiley. It was interesting I will say this for it. Well, Wiley I have watched you from the beginning and I do not speak badly of people. But this is a shame leaving this nice truck under that tree like that. Is ruining the paint on it plus all those tree flies get into everything. The inside is a mess. Well, enough of hurt feelings. Just bothers me to see a piece of equipment treated like that. With some HEAVY DUTY TLC that truck can look nice again. I have seen those Tripacs before and they work really good. I would question the maintenance on that truck looking at the way it is being treated. Nice truck. Hope you can get a deal done on it and return it to being a nice truck again. Runs real nice. Thanks Wiley. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Good job as always. Your patience and willingness to keep going is amazing.

Thank you

[@swallowinn4410]

Hello Willey: Fire up the Tripac and let it charge the batteries up overnight. You seem to have found a gem in the rough. A little spit and polish. It will be looking good again. That is a good example of how quickly a unit can deterioriate if not seeing some regular use. Keep the videos commig.

[@DontbeWily]

I didn’t know that about the Tri Pac I do now thanks to you and others that shared it. I can’t believe i forgot to go try and start it any way even though i didn’t know or realize it would charge the batteries. Thanks for watching and sharing

Good trucks and the dd13 and 15 were great motors.Unforunately early 2000 teen models were plagued with the early emission and dpf problems.The detroits weak spot was the emmision one box that failed alott and was 10 grand to replace.Common reason these years of trucks were parked or gotten rid of.

Wiley, the APU, saves fuel, keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and the main engine DEF system won't plug up, because you idled the truck nightly.

[@brandonstaab1254]

The company I used to work for ran these trucks. They are not very reliable and have a lot of electronic and engine problems. It's not just one truck. The company had 6 of them, and every single truck had either engine problems or electronic problems.

[@DontbeWily]

Thanks for sharing. The popular opinion about these trucks are leaning towards your experience

[@Sting6200]

My last truck was the same truck 2016, they have a bunk heater, too so you don’t have to idle it at night.

[@DontbeWily]

Thank you for sharing and watching

[@gradyyokeley9930]

That's a APU unit, that will be a big plus for the sale. They use it in the truck stops 🛑 so they don't have to run the truck engine to stay cool or 1arm

840000 needs a clutch.has codes.Probably def related.Two things happen in this business.Trucks cost more to operate and freight goes to new trucks for the type of money it takes to keep old ones on the road. ID sell it for parts.
