[@JustAnotherCar_Guy]

Has to be one of the best and badass truck's I've ever heard! Every truck should sound like or close to this truck IMO

[@puddinpop3004]

Good damn batteries!!!

[@doctorfeelucky]

[@Dennis-Cowboy-02]

[@MrLortab10]

[@dukwcapt]

I'm watching a video of a guy starting a Peterbilt on a cold morning. God help me, I love this stuff.................Nice truck! Kool vid, thanks for posting it! PS.........An engine block heater would take the "sport/fun" out of it!

[@roadwolf2]

i love how it almost pops smokerings on the jakes

[@alwo2725]

Hi me and my dad love old trucks

[@SuperCreativeLemon]

1:06 Its yawning after sleeping

[@candemontanez6108]

Great sounding truck

[@laszlokiss4409]

1:08 "WHO DARES, TO DISTURB MY SLUMBER!!!"

[@TT-zm8np]

This how I sound when I’m waking up!

[@PaulJersey]

That's a great cold start. I like cold starts for some unknown strange reason. Great looking truck?

Nice old Peterbilt, my friend!

[@TylertheGeek28]

Good ol' Peterbilt 1:10 feel the roar ! haha

[@StormLaker]

Nothing like the growl of a big cam engine:-). I work for Cummins in a shop, it's my absolute favorite sound next to that of a K19. One of my favorite drivers has an old cabover that he rebuilt and he had us rebuild his old 855 for him, it was a fun project to work on (from the parts department perspective). I also love the N14's. Emissions has ruined reliability in truck engines, you're better off going out and buying an older rig with an older pre-emmisions engine and running that way.

[@kylemcelfresh8561]

love these good ol pete's

[@cst20396]

Lets rev up a cold motor just after starting.

[@ghettosmirnoff]

i love cold start!!!

[@TheLargecars]

I LOVE THE SOUND!

[@hard4smoke]

luv the cranking, the thick white raw oil going black, the jake, the sound, oh YEAH!

[@krazyhorse357]

Nice truck

[@ForeverEuroHouse]

great video !!

[@Tigerman1138]

@Paul Jersey @luvtotruck---I don't know how I got into COLD STARTS...but I LOVE THEM too! Kenworths, air starts, trains, anything diesel. Something about seeing the BEAST AWAKEN! Like a lion's roar air starters roar into action...cold starts see a rise...you cheer it on.. like it's "The little diesel that could" and you cheer when it starts!

[@mjkarger89]

That's a good looking rig.

[@Jenkies00]

you need to make some more vids of this pete but actually driving lol would love to hear it on the road

[@andymalicki7202]

Awesome!

[@TT.4_]

Woooooohweeeee lol ain't nothing like tha Old Skool Baby!! 10-4!!

[@ufopeace8894]

Super,,,

[@ShadowBroker1000]

30 degress isnt cold. Come to canada. We get -50 in the winter. Way colder. My dad had a 2007 Pete 379 long nose. Sexiest truck on the road. But then again. All petes are sexy. Nice truck man

[@laneschlabach9674]

Classic 359

[@theblindredneck747]

Replace the fuel lines, it would start a lot easier.

[@Wieditox]

this is why the world is getting to warm. xD

[@frenchcanadianbastard9998]

***** but why goods are being delivered too ;)

[@fluffykittynoodles]

Those stacks just look oh-so right.

[@CrazyCanuck91]

dude i cold started a kenworth w900L dumptruck last week. it had sat for all winter outside. it cranked for a bit..started..ran rough for about 30 secs..then she calmed down and purred like a kitten! now THATs a good truck! and why the hell are you revving the hell out of it cold...you lookin to throw some rods?

[@tomcatdcn]

that thing sure is cranky in the morning!

[@TheOCDreY001]

Here is a true cold start!,thanks.

[@82agwayldt11]

Old Cummins NT engines weren't no power house but they sure do sound good. We have a 76 autocar with a 290NT

[@justinmartin8887]

This guy didn’t do to much wrong other than Reving up the engine before it was warm 1. These trucks don’t have block heaters unless aftermarket installed 2. Glow plugs and grid heaters don’t exist on these engines 3. Fuel timing is fixed or step timing which is why it won’t start as easy as a common rail 4. Basically your best friend is 4 good group 31 batteries and a light dose of ether. Big cams aren’t the worst cold starting engines, but say it’s really cold and you left it outside.Hold it at half throttle, start cranking, about 5 seconds in, give it a 1.5 second shot of fluid. It should fire and run, let it rev up to about 1500, then immediately let it idle down slowly to about 900. Don’t let off to quick or it’ll choke and die

[@MrSticknrudder]

I'll bet those cables were hot after that first cranking session?

[@MrTrucker771]

nice...

[@adamswindells1]

you got a blockage in that left pipe?

[@windjammer226]

defitnely a cold hearted one,mine does the same when cold out

[@biertorte6685]

Super.....

[@flywayne9362]

good hell use a block heater ! what a way to take the life away from an engine...

[@TwinStickFilms]

Do you have any mufflers/resonators? Are you running the quiet spool stacks?

[@yamahonkawazuki]

you aint kiddin. especially a cold start in a big truck

[@aaaaa0000000000]

Plug it in man!

[@JU-lj8hl]

Fucking badass

[@nokiaicon]

What CPL engine is in that truck?

[@85forddiesel]

what kinda horsepower you pushin, nice truck

[@jasonbauer8]

At 30 degrees at CAT would start.

[@CryptoidEngine]

HEE! The camera moving at 1:10 - 2:00 made it even better! :D

[@CokemanChatt]

What do you do differently to start a truck like that. Seems like it was not going to turn over.

[@briarpratt1786]

cool at first i didnt think it was goin to start

[@doubleq1223]

Its a diesel so most likely changing the oil is optional, it just didn't start b/c diesels need a warm engine block b/c the fuel is ignited by air temp. Not spark plugs like in an unleaded engine, and I think GLOWPLUGS ASSIST in a cold start-up, not sure EXACTLY on what the glowplugs do, just that they do something like that, btw I'm only 14 and I may be wrong on the plugs.

[@jonny2k100]

Aren't you ment to rev them a bit when you start them in very cold conditions. To keep them from cutting out.

[@nokiaicon]

@phantomH109 Phantom I got a cpl 1185 looking to do some mods how much horsepower are you putting out?

[@SMiller5488]

@boosteddiesel thats what I was thinking, wonder if he is trying to say is has cut pistons "de-compressed"

[@grishakostinyan438]

Cold start

[@TT-zm8np]

Yessuhhhhhh🥰🥰🥰🥰‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@floodedcar123]

No revving, just a cold start.

[@travisperreault]

what size of stacks are those?

[@CrazyCanuck91]

@phantomH109 true enoguh but thrown rods are thrown rods...expensive as hell to fixxx :(

[@auaiao9]

It's either to check the oil or you thought somebody stole your engine.

[@edgymemester9500]

1:09 well damn

[@auaiao9]

yep

[@travcon8]

He should have given it some throttle from the beginning.

[@kiario891]

I cringed when it reved to the moon when you started it it's not good for that poor truck still sounded awesome though.

[@ronaldmorrison6013]

My dad would have beat my ass and made me drive the shittiest truck we had if I did that.🤨

[@fordsonman]

I think there was the "Excess Fuel" button pressed...

[@alecglass9538]

Only thing wrong with cummins is they don't like the cold unlike caterpillar

[@justinmartin8887]

alec glass in what world do you exist? Cummins is one of the best cold starting engines ever. Cat used heui which is a shitty injection system. They don’t start bad either, but keep in mind that this truck was working before on road cats even existed

[@xxspeedxxdemon]

thats what a fuckin truck should sound like non of this clean emmissions quietes diesel

[@antoniodellungo9619]

No smoke, thanks.

[@FASTBOOBS]

3:28 & 3:47 ...how can you do this effect?

[@auaiao9]

It had no trouble turning over.

[@cervantes334]

era lo que necesitaba acelerarlo para que se mantuviera encendido

[@TheGel69]

no glow plugs?

[@JeremyL249]

@TheDavidpayne older diesels before they came out with the new emmisions crap, they pumped a lot of fuel in them things lol

[@nokiaicon]

How many RPM's you turning

[@YamahaphazerFX]

She purrs

[@doubleq1223]

1:07 to 1:12 holy SHIT THAT WAS A BEAST

[@yamahonkawazuki]

@maddoxde 2 things. not available in north america, and 2 if it were sitting a month in the cold i think if would be a bit more than that. especially if it were 36 years old liek this one. id rather have this peterbilt to be honest

[@doubleq1223]

@biggle1wiggle well obviously its not optional to change the oil on a diesel how else would it be lubed

[@freedomofspeech2238]

Ain't the same anymore with 4 stroke diesel. A 2 stroke you can hear the power and is unmatched.

[@justinmartin8887]

freedom of speech this is a four stroke

[@MrJkbubbabutt]

Nothin' purrs like a Cummins! Even though I prefer Detroits, lol!

[@CryptoidEngine]

@Sneighke Whatever it is, it just added to it. XD (i'm strange, so help me lol)

[@joserodriguezcarretero4742]

What model of Peterbilt is ir??

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Peterbilt 359 with an 855 big cam Cummins

[@CodyEslinger202]

haha i love 1:08 haha just stands on it xD

[@nokiaicon]

is 1280 mechanical or electronic

[@jirving2674]

Block heater. Wtf

[@JeremyL249]

Is it just me, or is the camera slowly moving down?

[@Fjewt]

how much power and tourqe are this pushing stock? :)

[@mercedesguy8520]

+Fjewt 600 hp 2200 torque

[@justinmartin8887]

350 and 1200 lb ft

[@dougd120]

and acts a certain way

[@ZenDj88]

is the same model of DUEL? :)

[@ja7175]

No.

[@77MUDBOGGER]

cant use ether on a diesel engine bud. but they do make it for diesels.

[@auaiao9]

@windjammer226 I wish you'd make a vid of it

[@davroz34]

sounds like the ground cables are a little small , get bigger negative cables

[@melsenos_garage4836]

thats on bad truck
