My uncle started out with an L8000 like this one but it had a 3208 CAT in it. Tough trucks for their size, and the cabs had a lot of room too.

[@mh-wy9jy]

That 8.3 Cummins and 8LL combo is hard to beat!

[@mikewest712]

Laying down some super smooth shifts right from the beginning. Love it.

[@ISXCUMMINS565]

I drove a L8000 in my early years..it had the round headlights and a 3208 (cat 210 hp) in it that smoked like it was on fire when it was started first thing on a cold morning.. Thanx for the ride along 👍

[@johnwhicks8687]

Can’t beat an old Ford. Great job on the video

[@INTERNATIONAL_RDF-D]

Only thing ford is the frame and cab. Everything else is Cummins Eaton Fuller Spicer Hendrickson Dayton Or Saginaw in some cases I love the l9000 though. It’s in my top 5. I’m rebuilding a door for one right now...

[@pleaseholdwhileiprocessyou1513]

Them old trucks were more interactive than the new ones lol. It's like riding a bull while steering a boat.

[@carlwilliams8354]

Those old Louisville Fords were tough trucks. I had a 73 880 that had a 534 gas with a 5x3 trans. It had double bunks on it and we hauled 8ft post or 18 ft pulpwood on it. The gas engine only got 3.1 mpg and converted that gas into a lot of noise. It was geared low 3200 was 55 mph 3500 was redline. It out pulled 427 Chevys loaded but even their long stroke truck version wound up quicker than the big Ford did.

[@splittinnstuff6571]

I have a 71 f800 with a 391 with 5x3. Truck has bunks and a prentice on it. Badass trucks

[@Slim_Slid]

The 534 was used in several Trucks,they are fuel guzzlers but sure do have some power.

[@timhood6970]

Them old Ford's were hard to beat, I put a few hundred thousand miles on a L9000 hauling logs, great trucks!

[@geesss8675]

That old girl sure runs good. Shifts smooth rides smooth very nice old truck man very nice truck I can see why you haven't sold it

[@jgscs61]

I have one 8.3 Black Cummins 300 HP with 14609 Eaton Fuller ,good trucks!!

[@kevinlewis7882]

I started out driving a older dumpdruck like that when I first got my CDL license, seems to still be a great running truck, hope that you and your family have a Happy New Year

[@wynandvanrhyn481]

Wow, reminds me of the days I hauled timber in and around Cape Town with a M.A.N.30.280. Bouncy and noisy as hell, but tough as nails!!

[@kevincarver6727]

Great video Tim. Thanks for the ride along. 👍👍👍

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thanks for the ride along. The old Ford was gettin' er done!!

[@arthurbuckyelksjr7918]

I used to drive 1 like that but a triaxle what the fords had going for them the trucks where easy to drive and are good on fuel. Happy New Year to tim and family. Be safe have a great day

[@gearhead9943]

Would be so cool to see a cold start with this view of the pedals and controls!

[@byronglover490]

I appreciate the ride along. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us.

[@jasonrowe268]

Thanks for the ride along in an old classic.

[@stevenmiddagh6265]

The old boy can still drive a truck. Happy new year Tim & family.

[@jasoncrocker9332]

Cool ride along 👍 That’s quite the driveway you’re lucky you get snow down there it would be A pain to keep that plowed lol

[@karlcarnevale4948]

Thanks for the ride along Tim.

[@cynthiaherr9029]

YeeHaw Tim, Hammer down..LOL I tightened up my binder Tim and hung on..LMAO Thank's for the ride-a-long Tim. Have a great day.. I'm feeling great now Tim..Take Care

[@markquiswest6607]

I got an old Norfolk Southern Railroad Ford L800 Hirail Truck like this!

[@MrVendaddy]

I have a 94 L8000 too. My truck has the small 8.3 Cummins motor in it. Too small of a motor for a tandem but it works.

[@cotton123ful]

Nice little ride Tim Thanks.

[@dancrafton89]

Like the looks of that truck when Ford come out with the body. A guy I worked with had one was a nice looking tractor. Keep the good videos coming. Love watching your videos. God bless you.

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

jack of all trades you are sir !!! y'all have a safe & happy new year buddy ! may look ya up if we get down that way, we;d love to treat y'all to dinner !

[@terrymidcap3996]

That runs pretty good.

[@Slim_Slid]

I have a Ford F-800 as well as a M923A2,M931A2,& M936A2 with the 8.3L 6CT.I have 240 HP/592 lbs of Torque for all of mine,the 12 Valve is one hell of a bulletproof Engine.Alot of competition drag trucks use 8.3L's and they can be far fetched as high as 1,000-1,400 HP being fully built.Even though they stay with their life span at 300 HP or lower,and alot of them don't like more than 40 Psi of Boost from a Turbo,espiecally if you try to run 2,500-2,700 RPM or more,which a different Governor Spring can help with that.I keep mine around 2,200 RPM and the H1E in my M923A2 does 18 Psi of Boost.

[@josephboley]

hello there trucker Tim 😂. thanks for the awesome content today bud. as always stay safe out there and take care fella.

[@grandpajim329]

😊 NICE RIDE-ALONG (They don't make em like that anymore) Maintained LN 8000 30 years, 3208 auto, still motating,. 📆🥴🥂 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL / THANKS FOR THE LOOK INTO SOUTHERN LIVING 😍😍😍😍😍

[@leonblittle226]

Really nice just listening to the machine do it's business, them old diesel units will work until the body and frame have turned to dust with decent maintenance.

[@EricFortuneJr.]

Looked like you were floating gears?? I drive a 92 L8000 with the cat, they’re bulletproof trucks. You absolutely cannot kill it.. Ice cold AC too!

[@frankwallace5174]

nice old dumper man like to get my hands on one like it. they were good trucks ford had put out 👍

[@ryanaxberg9263]

going through a stop sign at 2:20. Living life on the edge

[@kevintate6177]

Great video of 2018, can't wait to see what's in store for the new year. Happy new year to u and family

[@danielsweeney6742]

Happy New Year Tim and family!

[@klc317]

Good old truck! Happy new year

[@christhorndike4614]

Gotta love the ole cummins

[@michaelhamm9558]

That old girl still got plenty of get up and go

[@jonathanotinger7759]

Great video as always!! Happy New Year to you and your family sir! God bless you guys in the coming year!!

[@brentmedders]

You gotta keep that diesel trucking, just put that hammer down and give it hell...

[@larslarson5969]

That's a nice truck, no computers. Happy New Year to you and you family.

[@bobmillan]

Tim, you and your family have a healthy and prosperous New year

[@WayneAllis-cw1lk]

How did you put a 8LL trans behind a 8.3? 8LL is a 2” input shaft. Did you put a in a bigger 2” clutch housing instead of the 1.75”?

[@markduell691]

Happy New Year Cotontop3. May it be filled with many blessings.

[@kubota1100able]

I Enjoy your video nice old ford dump truck keep her running

[@fishaholiclures]

Have a happy and safe New Years celebration Tim. I see you subscribe to the "Indicators...why tell everyone where I am going" school..LOL. Cheers big ears, from the land Down Under.

[@mikehornsby599]

Good stuff enjoyed that,

[@marvinwinter8174]

Great video Tim ! Just curious though ... the shift pattern you are using seems to be a 9 speed transmission or am I wrong on that? We have a L8000 at work with a 10 spd tranny and the old 7.8 litre Brazilian Ford Diesel .

[@adamthayer9995]

That's a 9 speed transmission bro 😀

[@Torsee]

Love the old Ford! Do all the gauges still work? Fords claim to fame was if all the needles on the gauges pointed to 3 o'clock everything was OK. Quick Glance.

[@chrisholmes2888]

Wonder do ur l8000 got a Cummins or cat engine mines got the n14 Cummins

[@awashbowler]

Stop signs? Who needs em!?

[@mitch9521]

I learned how to double clutch on one of these, except the transmission was absolutely trashed, you basically slammed it down or up till you found a gear

[@jackpinnell3973]

HAPPY NEW YEAR SIR!!!!

[@johncassiol6406]

What kind of transmission is that? I can hear it winding. My dad has that transmission in his Mack granite dump truck and it’s a maxitourqe transmission he has that same exact winding sound. So is it that transmission designed by Mack?

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

No, that's straight cut gear whine. Dana Spicer.

[@Slim_Slid]

It's probably either a Dana Spicer or even Eaton perhaps.

[@leol1682]

Like the video Tim on Ford truck ,Happy New Year 2019 .

[@skywatchers9675]

Must suck to have to steer with ur left hand lol. We in Australia are right hand drive. Right hand steer left is joystick, as it should naturally

[@Acertboy]

So I have this school bus with a p pump Cummins and I was thinking about putting it in a Pete 358 with an Allison transmission and pull only about 70,000-80,000 lbs behind it on flat ground and also have as a drag semi lol I think it would be a great idea but I’d love to hear some one else’s opinion

[@nano-gq9tv]

Ik our 1990 l7000 will pull 8t in the bed and a 15t backco that the same time it didn't like uphill 😂😂

[@southerndirt9589]

Super trucker 👍👍👍

[@mrsmel269]

awesome!!!! i got a 95

[@StumpjumperVideosPA]

nice country !

[@sighpocket5]

Nice!!

[@mickyfingaz]

I see you only used the clutch to downshift. We’re you floating the gears?

[@mikewawrzkiewicz3741]

Truck sounds sweet Napa mike

[@rayuscanga5669]

like someting of coilbook

[@rayuscanga5669]

1:25

[@williamhsteele]

Do you still use this dump truck? Or even have it? Do you have any complaints about that engine/transmission or truck in general? I was looking at a 1995 f800 dump body with this engine and the 5 speed with low/high.

[@cotontop3]

Still have it and use it.

[@williamhsteele]

@@cotontop3 thanks for the reply. Can I ask your opinion what one might be worth? Just a ball park range. The one I’m looking at is a 1995, I’d say it’s good condition all the way around. It has 65k miles.

[@jerrybrandt9377]

Did they figure out your trans problems with your newer ram ? And where is goldy?

[@briangardiner1015]

What is the water sound in your chat videos? Do you have a fish tank? Does Brin have a website for M&M demolition?

[@waltermattson5566]

I was wondering about an update from M&M too.

[@frankwallace5174]

👍 nice

[@gavinhirt5231]

For the people that dont knw how many times did u shift up or down i lost count at 60

[@gavinhirt5231]

Dont tink u did over 55

[@1micYT]

Not using clutch?

[@jerrybrandt9377]

You got skill timmy

[@waltermattson5566]

Have you heard any updates on Dalton? Did you put your bike away or do you still take it out for rides?

[@cotontop3]

He got his port out Friday and is good.

[@waltermattson5566]

Thank you for the update.

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

I'd take it if ya gave it to me! 😉😂

[@lomax3216]

Eaton 9 speed ?

[@juniorraines5956]

I did enjoy your video does that truck have a 9 speed or 8 speed. Hope you have a good Sunday and next week

[@SirFatboy97]

9 speed. You can see Tim put it in "low" when he takes off at the start of the video.

[@cotontop3]

It’s an 8 double low

[@SirFatboy97]

What's the difference between the two? Or do we just have different names for the same transmission?

[@cotontop3]

You got low and a second switch on the shifter that’ll drop it into a lower gear than normal low.

[@juniorraines5956]

Yes tim I started to say 8 double L

[@dakotaduncan7761]

Is that truck an 8 speed or 10 speed

[@Slim_Slid]

Looks like a 8 Speed "Double Low".

[@Gevoface]

Sounds like a train

[@jakekirby5842]

9 speed right?

[@cotontop3]

8 double low

[@baddogz1314]

How many gears

[@Slim_Slid]

Looks like 8.

[@a-dog8075]

What Trans?

[@Slim_Slid]

Has to be a 8 Speed.

[@a-dog8075]

@@Slim_Slid Its actually a 8LL. Saw him respond to another comment and said its an 8LL

[@davidmerryman5565]

Do you not like 6 gear lol

[@cotontop3]

It’s an 8 double low so you don’t go back to the low hole when you start into the high side.

[@king3717]

Are your friends at how farms work going to beat mf to 200000?its very close at moment.

[@davewhite5258]

shouldn't record yourself running stop signs like you do

[@jerrybrandt9377]

Shouldn't drive while loaded
