New addition to the fleet! A 1996 Ford LTL9000 Tri axle, 5ek Cat, 10 speed. Clean truck and I’m happy to have it. Here’s a little video tour and test drive with it. Enjoy!

Those old Fords are great trucks that dont get enough love.

[@brandonringler1664]

I used to haul coal with that truck back in around 1999

Maybe it’s her big dumper, I think she’s beautiful peace & grease driver

Awsome trucks. I own a 96 with a 3406c cat 425 hp in it. My only suggestion is start looking for others sitting in the weeds so you can have a supply of parts. Since ford got out of the heavy truck business parts are hard to come by. I've worked around a turbo and fan clutch that ford says only one will fit. I outsmarted their engineers .you may have to get creative if parts can't be found. I love mine and dumped 100000 into to bring her back from the dead. New frame rails, New hoist and box, new paint, new wheels, rebuild on the motor. She works side by side with new 300000 trucks making the same money and no payments. Good luck with yours, you did ok with that truck

[@charlesferebee263]

Looking like it is time to go haul some Coal. LMAO. Great Find. Great Video. Keep Up the good work. Stay Safe out There. 🇺🇸

[@trevorgallagher9970]

I love them ole trucks. Got a 86 in the driveway. I need some creature comfort parts for it & a few other things but a good ole truck.

[@trevorgallagher9970]

Ever decide you don’t want it I’ll take it. Complained half the video 😂😂

[@cantwellron11]

What a gem Lucky you top banger

[@tygreenwood472]

Great looking LTL one of my favorite trucks of all time they couldn't have been to bad of trucks with hearing your criticisms towards them a lot of them were used to haul coal amongst other things most of those trucks took quite a beating still see some being used as dump trucks .

[@hoists1829]

Awesome video

[@robpeters5204]

You got a really good looking unit right there. It has a second power steering box on the passenger side so you can put those big flotation tires on now😂

[@heaveymelt]

Most guys i know that drove them ford really liked them but i live in canada so those old girls are long gone

[@Carla-tz7qw]

I would buy it for the engine.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Very nice looking truck.

[@alirezahosseini3881]

Very much

[@user-ro1ct9cc9p]

Nice old dump in good.

[@jalopyjoe4483]

Was hear

[@snydedon9636]

It appears that it was a two beer ride home. 😀

[@quandombus18]

Is Ford backwards? Looks like you released the parking break (by pushing it in) and got out of the truck with the brakes DISengaged. It also sounded like you set it when you pulled it (I didn’t hear it set when you pulled up) and then released it when you pushed it back in.

[@davidpotter7484]

I drove a lot of those way back when. That black valve is for the trailer, same with the johnson bar/hand valve. The tractor brakes are below that, the sideways switch that looks like a diff lock switch or a 5th wheel slide, air bag dump switch. Never liked those trucks

[@davidpotter7484]

unless it was replumbed, or always a straight truck

[@user-si4gt6vo8x]

Почему изолента на руле не синяя?

[@iamgriff]

I would buy that to dump horse manure on my ex-wife’s front door. Some may call that a felony, I call that even Steven

[@cantwellron11]

Henrickson is a minus but cant be all good love the colour

[@SootyMangabey.]

Hendrickson makes the best damn off road suspension there is. They ride like hell but are tough.

[@hopebrowning6300]

@@SootyMangabey. agree.back in the 90's thru 2000's we would haul 40 to 50 ton of coal plus the weight of the truck every day all day on tandems with them.Can't beat them, best heavy haul set up they are .
