1980 Peterbilt 359 needs major repairs. The radiator is just the beginning.

I'm always looking for old classic semi trucks to save and restore. I'm also always looking for trucks or parts Detroit Diesel related. If you have one that needs to be saved or you know of one you can drop me an email at the following address: [e-mail]

Repairing that radiator gave me some flashbacks to the family business started in the '70s repairing those exact type of units. That literal mom & pop shop quickly escalated into a multi-million dollar repair and distribution enterprise which was literally tanked by both China and our new disposable throw-away society. The business went through massive downsizing in the early 2000s, and with the retirement of the last three remaining employees, unfortunately shuttered last August. The business is gone, the name is dead, but the memories I have of mom taking me to work in the '80s will live on for the rest of my life. Hopefully. I miss you, Mom.

One thing I learned from Bus monkey garage is you can use the plastic straps that go on the outside of shipping boxes to get some grinding action inside the tubes

Dammit, I was sanding the cowl on my Dentside today, and getting down into the little dips where the windshield wiper drive-stubs stick out - and caught myself thinking, "that's it boy, get down in there real deep..."😆😂🤣

[@Ol2Stroker]

Bahahahaha no charge!

[@JoeSmith-wd8ks]

Hey good work Wayne , actually a pain to doo all that radiator work but you got it done well . Thanks for the trick with the injector , I’ve got a 8v71 that’s down the exact same cylinder , pulled injector and whacked it and it shot fuel , I’ll swap it over with another cylinder and see what happens . Have a safe and fun trip away , all the best from NZ

So I used to work for awhile in a rural radiator shop. I did auto airconditioning and the mechanical remove/replace stuff since I'm a mechanic by trade. I'm not a radiator guy. I did get to see quite a lot of heavy equipment radiator repair as you can imagine. What the tanks bolt to is called the header plate. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you did it but if you were ever wondering how rad shops do it, I can actually tell you. Shops mechanically clean the tubes. How they do it is really simple actually. They leave one tank on and put tap water in one end via an expandable grommet with a lever on it, stand it vertically in a trough and insert a stainless steel 'tape' down each tube (which is a tape made for the radiator tube size) and look to see the water is flowing evenly out all the tubes. Like you did it, no great water pressure or anything like that is used. This description is for truck and machinery radiators not cars so much. So, they can replace individual tubes too. They pressure test the whole radiator before opening it up. They'd unsolder and re solder the cooling fins from the tube and header plates like a damn surgeon if it was a front or rear tube row. If a leaking tube was in an inner row they'd solder it shut at both ends at the header plate. On quiet days they'd get me to make those tank gaskets. You mucking with this radiator very much reminds me of my time in that place. Lucky I haven't had a blood lead test from all the solder smoke from morning to afternoon as it could explain quite a lot lol.

[@Ol2Stroker]

Thanks that's pretty eye opening!

Great video Wayne glad to see Mossy getting some maintenance done. Nice work with the wielder at least you tried to fix it and did get it fixed. We do it nice cause we do it twice. Thanks for sharing stay safe Wayne.

good job tig welding up those holes, old cast aluminum can be tough to weld, I watched an old guy in a rad shop using an acetylene air torch, flux, and a cast rod, he made it look as easy.

[@ChiefStones]

The wand is a Camco RV water heater flusher wand. It's used to flush out the scale and gunk in the water heater from the anode degrading from year to year. It's about $16 on Amazon.

[@tommyhall2768]

Hay buddy good luck

[@richardcolemanjr3749]

That classic 359 Pete looks like it was a leased to International Transport from back in the day. You had to paint your truck to their colors. It was a Fantastic company back then. If you put the stickers on it be sure to include the American and Canadian flags on the front.

My uncle that i got pete v-12 from ( theone i picked the building off of truck to get truck) had around a 1968 kw 900a with 8v-71 the fan went into raditor no water leaked out ?? Pulled raditor cap raditor cap full of coolant , pulled the raditor apart the factory soidered the first row of tubes , i guess the core wasto big so closed ( 1) row to keep temperature up.😂

You have to quit leaving the injectors laying around, so the squirrels can not sneak off with them.

The best way I found to clean aluminum is moratic acid. When tick welding.

[@kleetus92]

I don't have a TIG set up myself yet, but in watching a bunch of stuff and observing, I wonder if you'd have had some better results if you had a bit of a rig to put/flood some shield gas on the inside of the tank to keep it from doing weird shit on the backside of your weld why you're trying to clean and or fill it in?

Hi, Wayne! 👍🏻😋 I feel your pain with that aluminum radiator! Having my own adventures with 3 high dollar rare Holophane substation fixtures that went through and survived the garage fire. Hardware is seized in them, and it is always a bitch to deal with it! Aluminum is an EVIL 👿, demon possessed metal straight from Hell!! I also dealt with this crap metal when I had aluminum ultra light wheelchairs like Quickie, Colours, No Limits, etc. and it ain’t fun! Especially my chairs, because a busted chair means not being able to able to get around, obviously! I dig the cool ultra light chairs, but prefer titanium like my awesome TiLite ZRA you saw me using and am in as I write this! You did a nice job on that Radjiator, as Derek on Vice Grip Garage says! I would have tapped the holes and used stainless screws or pipe plugs with silicone grease as a sealant and anti electrolysis corrosion compound, as I have no tig welder. That works great so long as the piece being repaired can accept threads. I figured your 8V92 had a bad injector as well. Glad it was exactly that! Also, if that was a 4 stroke, touching the exhaust manifold branches would cause skin to be left on it! 😆😆😆 because the 4 strokes are hot running in the exhaust system! Another reason I love Detroits! I enjoyed this clip! Cheers, man! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😋😋😋🤘🤘🤘👌👌👌
