Former International 4900/DT466 tractor-trailer driver here, at 21:10, the thing you touch and say "it's a little bit moist", that's the air compressor. at 22:04, the hose that the card is zip tied to, that's the filtered air intake for the air compressor, it should extend over to the passenger side and attach to the filtered side of the air filter box. She is a sweet old truck with a lot of life left!!!

You've probably figured it out by now, the leaking fuel pump/connecters, is dripping on the air compressor. That black hose you were unsure of I sure is connected to the air intake, which is another good feature International tended to put little round paper air filters on the compressor. So when the fuel pump/connections leak it gets sucked in and ruins the filter, you won't have that problem! Great truck!

FYI, fellow KZbinrs heat up the wrap with a heat gun to restore some flex and insert an air nozzle under the wrap to lift it away from the paint. This may help for some or all of it.

Casey as a former OTR driver we put chains in the truck on labor day. I would have loved a set of auto chains but when it got bad enough for chains I parked it till the roads were cleaned up.

[@Knightrem]

Of all the safety garbage they mandate on new trucks, auto chains should be mandatory on trucks operating in mountainous regions.

[@1020mj]

I have a friend that just bought out the towing company he had worked for many years. They were closing down there operation here in my city but are still in operation in another county. So they offered him the business and building and land with 3 wreckers. And one of those wreckers is just like your green and black one. He also has an International rollback which I got the honor of getting a ride home in when I totaled my van. The other wrecker he has is a semi wrecker. But his smaller wrecker he uses it non stop and has done him well. Watching this video was like walking down memory lane with his. Thanks for sharing Casey. Can't wait to see what you purchase next.

I am like 95% sure that tow truck has towed me. I almost crapped when I saw it. Smoked a tranny (transmission, to be clear! In this modern world, gotta be clear!) on the way back North. Wanna say he towed me into Cloverdale, he was out of a wide spot in the road south of there, with a name that made me think of mining. It escapes me currently. Was a good dude, with a sense of humor. I'm always talking crap, so it was a good fit.
