Thanks lance

[@David_Richard_241]

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Aeromax. It was introduced when I drove for SYSCO, and we phased out those 2300 series with those junk L/10's for them. I got a new "Max with the M/11 for my assigned tractor in '92. I loved that truck. Ford had the better ideas, man.

[@JamesPretty]

Rite on

Oh yeah James. I remember when Peterbilt Mike/Mike the Truck Nut first got Kenny started up and drove it out of it's grave. It was awesome!

[@paulobrien7209]

Hi james nice to see 11 starting.motor may not be cracked since the frost plugs popped they are there to pop and let the pressure of the ice out.hope you can save the engine.always loved those fords aeromax trucks and we have 2 of them in ireland.yip just 2.ones a show truck the other is a drilling rig still working!!!! Keep up the great work.

[@JamesPretty]

Good looking old Ford hope you can get it going 👍 😊

[@JamesPretty]

Thanks Gerald

[@darrencatenacci2737]

Didn’t expect it to run at all. Sounds good for having been froze solid enough to push the plugs out. Seems changing it out is gonna be a good option. I think you’ve got an engine in the shop that should fit. Too bad you couldn’t move the old girl. You’ll get it home eventually. Stay safe

[@JamesPretty]

Appreciate ya bro

[@earlblackjackmartinjr5750]

Put er in gear and holder down till you hear glass break. I'm glad I never totally owned a truck. I drove for enough OPs it was like I owned it. Only benefit I can see owning a truck is being able to have the engine you want . The company I retired with took every new truck and turned the power down and using more fuel instead of 6.5 mpg to 4.5 mpg. Every job I had was usually overweight most of the time and not enough power to pull it. When I started in 1970 it was 318s, 290s 350 and 400 big cams. GOD wouldn't let me drive anything like a 600 because I stayed in trouble with points on my chauffeurs anyway. I did drive some Macks that pull good.

[@JamesPretty]

Rite on bro

[@jonathanmerica5015]

Good morning. Thank you for sharing, I always liked these aeromax l9000's I always thought they were a good looking truck. Can't wait to see what you have in store for it.

[@JamesPretty]

Thanks jonathan appreciate ya

[@nostreamavailable9090]

So glad you’re starting on this one mate, been really looking forward to you doing this truck. Your truck collection is by far one of the most interesting on all KZbin, not just a.n.other 389 , you treat us to marmons, cab overs, western stars , freight liners and now this one, quite possibly the hardest looking ford I’ve ever seen or heard about 😮👍 Of course we need you to pick up a Mack r series and an autocar and a Hayes and an Oshkosh m1070 as well please 😂👍 Would some of those dorman rubber core plugs with the squish bolt in em get it running enough to drive it home perhaps? I’m sure between you, Jp and the chad and the boys you can rustle up a propshaft for it . Fantastic content as always Thanks for another fantastic video God bless you and yours 🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇺🇸

[@JamesPretty]

Really appreciate ya being here I believe the low oil pressure is prohibitive Probably have to tow it home. I need the crankshaft for a rebuild

[@nostreamavailable9090]

@@JamesPretty well at least it appears you have a good core to rebuild mate , that’s a decent start at least 🙏🏻

Hello from Russia. Your collection of trucks is amazing. Can you tell how long is this truck from the bumper to the back of the cab? 106 inches by any chance?

[@JamesPretty]

The cab from Firewall to back of sleeper is 106

[@davidsimons6881]

I had forgotten about 11. Good to see the motor start. So T be a bad looking truck once it gets cleaned up.

[@JamesPretty]

Ya I can’t wait to wash it. I’ll probably try to save the motor. We’ll see

[@JamesPretty]

Ya but I put a used one on that was kinda weak

[@russbrittain7379]

What size Cummins is it James Maybe just rebuild the motor instead of changing motors overall thumbs up 👍 on everything your doing on getting all your trucks back up and running I hope you keep your formate the same just good honest content until next time stay safe in the air and on ground

[@JamesPretty]

It’s a 350. I might just roll in bearings and Chang oil pump and get the heads done. I’m worried the block is cracked tho cause it froze

[@russbrittain7379]

Well cross your fingers and hope the block is not cracked

[@davidmale1989]

Hey James, nice to see you got 11 to start. Was the air intake blocked? I don't know why you kept trying to run the engine with little to no oil pressure, and that ticking sound. Sounds like you've written off that engine. You still may be able to salvage that engine though. With no drive shaft you could not been able to drive it home anyway. Keep up the good work, we enjoy the video's.

[@JamesPretty]

Ya I was up and down on trying to save the engine. It still had 15 psi oil pressure. I will take the heads off when I get it home check the cam and see if I can see any crack. Then I will Roll in new bearings and stuff if I can. I have a complete other engine.
