You have the chance here to really make this a very special truck (no wing PLEEEAASE!) and it won't necessarily cost a lot of money. Hope this helps a bit: * The chassis and running gear just don't break and the DS14 V8 is bullet proof if maintained so watch your oils and fluids. * These engines have two filter systems: Centrifuge which needs unbolting, the sludge digging out and cleaning and screwing back in place and a familiar screw on canister. *There is an air moisture trap canister behind the LH steps. * Gearbox has a filter on the LH side. * Rear axles have a filter on the diff casing. * You spotted the air cleaner housing but you can get to it without tilting the cab. But thats the easier way. All these are part of what is called the 'L' service and I would do these just to be safe as you don't know the history. Scania do a pack with all the service parts and I am sure Scania here in the UK can ship a pack out. * The front wings unclip and we used to get them off when doing major services as it makes space to work in * Rear wings all just unclip with rubber cleats. * Brakes are discs all round and easy peasy to service. As you say it just needs some old fashioned maintenance and tidying up. The small bore air lines really do need to be cable tied in bundles to stop chaffing. On the RH drive trucks we had issues with the wiring loom that went down past the steering column under the floor but have no idea about LH drive trucks. They would go brittle and let water in and corrode the wires. Lost range change? Check that wiring. * There is no red / yellow push button parking brake or trailer air release as in US trucks as the parking brake is the small black lever to the right of the steering wheel ahead of the gear lever. Just pull it back until it clicks and holds. * The larger black lever by the Tachograph (which is a speedo and recorder) is the retarder (Jake Brake) and you won't need a footbrake if used properly with a loaded trailer. DO NOT use the retarder without a load on the rear axle as it has no skid protection and has a delay in coming off.. * Don't bring the cab back down when the engine is running or it will push the gear lever into gear. Ask me how I found THAT out! * Air line Suzies to the trailer will have had automatic valves in the couplings in European spec. Not sure what will be on there for the US Palm Couplings. Maybe just old fashioned manual air valves are fitted? FunFact: Scania injectors are made by Cummins in the USA .... Retired ex Scania Master Technician. Scanias are as revered here in Europe as truckers in the USA revere K-whoppers or Peterbilts. And this one is very special.

You prob should use the parking brake instead of parking in in gear. also make sure you in high range when you park in case you loose your air. makes it way easy to start then. The fuse you should not tamper with since it also disables the gear range lock so you will be able to go form high to low range at high speeds and that will destroy your gearbox. There should be a scania dealer in New York that can help you out with parts for your truck.

Everyone here says the cabs are tiny on Euro trucks and while I'd agree they are smaller they are way more functional, the ergonomics are light years ahead of anything they have here, even on a truck dating back to 96. I was shocked at how old and dated the newest trucks in the US were when I moved here in 98. I had a Freightliner Century and a Peterbilt 389 which I truly hated, the Freightshaker was acceptable but nothing could compare to what I had in the UK. Not even close.

SCANIA 144 530... '14' Litre '4' Series '530' BHP. This is the Topline model (taller cab). It was introduced in 1995 and the 144 530 was the absolute best you could get from Scania at the time. It succeeded the 143 500 model. Stunning truck, please don't ruin it. Parts are available in Europe but are getting rare and expensive. In many drivers views, the 4 Series Topline was the best truck Scania ever produced. The later R Series wasn't a patch on this. You have got yourself one of the best there.

Oil change!!! Good quality syntectic for no problems during the burnouts and flat out on the interstate. She just needs a good clean and a new exhaust mounted.

It is also common to dump the air when backing under a trailer to avoid scraping off all the grease on the front of the trailer.

[@rjhtrucking5429]

@rosscopeeco69 not really , there's no need for it here in North America. Everything is standardised so its unlikely that a trailer will ever be dropped to high. And if I remember correctly, it was cummins that developed the fuel delivery system for scania, so there's some north American technology right there. You have to remember that America has the most powerful Military in the world backed up by the military industrial complex, they are at the cutting edge of technology so anything Europe gets is usually under licence or its trickled down. Example GPS is a us invention, now widely used in Europe. I once owned a 164, now I own a 43 year old Pete and ill never ever consider a euro trash lorry ever again for as long as I'm in the transport business. And if I ever want to , I could easily drop a a cat 3408 in u der my cab because yes that's right, America also invented the V8 engine long before scania ever did. Ww have sliding axles for axle weight distribution, we have 700bhp and we have trucks designed for 80mph and above. We also have the terrain of north America which consists of big mountain climbs and long pulls, powerful cross winds and because of the extreme temperature changes most road surfaces have to be concrete or very hard asphalt, this is not a great surface for rolling resistance. Europe on the other hand has a very mild terrain in comparison to the US and can afford to have much smoother tarmac.

@@rjhtrucking5429 If you'd ever been to a drop yard, you would know that the pin height of dropped empties is often MUCH higher after being loaded since the suspension loads up and the trailer pivots on the dollies.

The "standard" is to back up to a trailer until your 5th wheel is barely under the nose and check it. ;-)

Pro tip from someone who workes at Scania... You might always find your part regardless of the age of the truck at a dealer, but there might be other sources for the parts that might be cheaper yet still original.

[@phantomfixer]

They are to a certain extent, mostly box trucks can be seen on the roads in the US. These Haulers are not popular in the US because the US does not have the length restrictions like the UK does. So the longer front is more popular in the US thus making the COI's less popular in the US. My brother is a trucker, and he loves the COI's. Me on the other hand, I'm a Peterbilt fan, my only trucking experience is Snowrunner, 😂😂, and I drive Pete, lol.

[@columbusracer]

From what I’ve heard from trustworthy sources in Södertälje, Scania did actually do a push to get in to the US market in the very early 2000! And the Americans that test drove the Scania absolutely loved it and wanted to buy one right away. The problem whit it was that the Americans wanted to spec it like the do in the US, with CAT engine, fuller transmission, Eaton axels, and so on, and so on. When the Scania salesman told them that a Scania is a complete package with engine transmission and axels all made by Scania, nobody wanted it! Shortly thereafter in 2005 the last Scania torpedo rolled off the production line and the torpedo was discontinued! So I’ve heard at least!

[@phantomfixer]

@@columbusracer Maybe that push was when GM bought SAAB then sold it ten years later to Spyker Motors. Scania does have a presence in the US, but not with highway haulers, in the US manufacturers feel the COI's are not aerodynamic like the American made trucks.

Freakin cool as hell how big that engine is, big V8 diesel power is always badass, wonder what engine modifications are done to it or if it’s factory. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all stock powertrain wise. It’s cool to learn about them!

14l

[@railasvuo]

I'm 99.9% sure it's standard except for the exhaust. And the powertrain is also standard because it can handle a lot of power

Scania on the 4 series used the 14ltr up to 530 after that they go to the 16ltr 580 620

These were everywhere in London going back to about 85 or earlier. My dad drove for a haulage firm and had many different models of this truck, none sleepers though so that is a rare thing this far down the road.

the longer you make the exhaust pipe, the louder the v8 will sound

[@GeenIdee2]

Its in a sad state, but these trucks are really desirable in the EU. It always amazes me to see us trucks with the lack of things we are used to in the EU. Love to see what you and others think about the differences. Oh, and even the previous models had air controls for the rear axle. For maintenance, there is a centrifugal oil filter on top of the engine. Take it apart and clean it with you maintenance. We used to have paper inserts that makes this easier. Engine sounds tired though! Go look up video's on youtube on the scania v8 The plates are Dutch, the blue part is "EU" and "NL" on that part is "Nederland" (Netherlands)

[@YourLocalShooter]

@@seamusburke9101 It did sound good. I was surprised someone took the time to put a straight pipe through the muffler then reinstall it again. It didnt look like it was straight piped since the muffler was still under it.

Make sure you replace the torsion bar at the front of the cab it links the cab air bags at the front if that goes it can damage the cab so bad

I’ve always admired the Scania and Mann trucks. They always seem so purpose-driven, practical, technologically advanced as well as comfortable, efficient and aesthetically pleasing. Must be a pain to work on though. The dude in orange shirt has a young Burt Reynolds/Florida Man vibe that I’m really digging. 😁

Always open the grill to tilt the cab. Put gear in neutral. Make shure thers noting on the lower bunk. Otherwise you loos your front window.

If you wanna crank the fuel to it take it to somebody that works on older Mack’s, that should be the same basic type of Bosch pump as a Mack E9 has on it. A lot of the parts on that engine are similar to a Mack E9, but you won’t hear many Mack fanatics admit that. Just make sure to have a working pyrometer installed right before the turbo if you do add any more fuel.

[@theislandsc]

Just remember if it’s parts your needing it’s a long way from Sweden. You might be able to get some engine parts out of Mack Boring they currently import all of the Scania marine engines.

I didn't know the early models had manual pumps to raise the cab. I drove later models in New Zealand and they all had electric pumps to lift the cab. Could be an idea if you keep this truck, get an electric pump for it, saves a ton of work and flips up much quicker.

I think I would figure out how to install something like a power steering pump to replace that hand pump you use to raise the cab. A small power steering pump that you could use a Dewalt cordless drill to turn. I like that big chrome brush guard up front. Might design something to cover up those wholes left in the front end from removing that pusher bar.
