You can cycle the heat on and off to douse the radiator with cooler water when the heater core cools off. It can get you a few more miles down the road to a service station. Sucks on a hot day; just open the windows.

There goes that motor. Honestly big cam inframe kit is 1500 then about 2000 for a professional to install and wiring would have been another grand or so could have easily had the other going alot cheaper then messing around with an old 2 stroke.

[@bowslap]

Aside from the radiator needing to go to a shop, that 6v92 most definitely needs a thorough flushing of the cooling system. All that water instead of a glycol-based coolant, in cast-iron coolant passages is not good....not to mention a lack of coolant additives to prevent liner cavitation(Series 92 engines are wet liners, as opposed to the dry-fit liners of the Series 71)....wouldn't surprise me one bit if that radiator core needs replaced outright. Being an '82 model, that engine should be a Silver series. Yes, it's painted red, but that was near the end of IH painting ALL engines installed in their tractors Harvester Red, regardless of manufacturer. Might check the gear ratios of whatever 9670/9600 you were going to do the air ride cutoff from, taller gears will certainly make it more livable...

[@bowslap]

To add, I know this had water in it before you bought it, so this isn't your fault....not flaming you, just making an observation about the truck in general. Yes, it definitely needs work....but from what I can see, it's nowhere NEAR as rough as the one you first purchased.

[@oldmanmosh6056]

The companies I worked for never used retreads, and with the auto adjusting slack adjusters, and 20+ mechanics on duty, we didn't deal with brakes. But we did look for obvious flaws that would be spotted by DOT in an instant. I had several front windscreens replaced on the spot because of big of cracks, and one vehicle I had to turn back in because the engine was having issues we couldn't fix early in the morning without a part shop open. The long and the short of it is that retreads are illegal on steer wheels. They will come apart and have the potential to cause major injury to other vehicles.

Bruce, get in touch with touch with Scott over at his channel, Bus Grease Monkey. That dude is the two stroke guru, all he does is work on two-stroke Detroit diesels and nothing more plus he travels to you. He lives in Tennessee I believe. He travels to jobs in a 1940s Detroit powered ex Greyhound bus he converted to a motorhome. He brings his own tools also.

One thing with those 6V92's, (and all that series of Detroit's,) they DO NOT take kindly to overheating. They didn't have the best design head gaskets, and it didn't take much to push them over the edge!

[@JAKEbrake-6793]

I don't understand why this is different from the white international bc something as old as that should be rebuilt in the motor trans and rears just like that one 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TravisLaRoche]

Jacob Taddy if you’ve ever seen a truck with catastrophic abuse to the point of no return you would understand why he went with a lower mile platform. Some shit is worth it’s weight at the scales and nothing more unless you got some serious sentimental value or a KZbin channel

[@Cobra4993]

This one wasn't rotting in a field for years

[@thebeachhousecrew1737]

Well being an alleged government owned vehicly it was more than likely maintained very well with correct OEM parts and not beat to shit like a line hauler would be

[@scortsnorbilenterprises401]

Prolly popped a head when you ran it with no coolant in it. Detroit's dont like getting hot, they get hot fast with low oil and no coolent....... they love cracking heads too. Glad ya made it back! BUS GREASE MONKEY IS THE MAN FOR 2 STROKE DETROITS you should check out his channel

I don't see many American trucks in the UK, that's why like your video's.

[@Freakybacon-dx7ki]

John Brooks uk trucks are ugly lol

[@MartasZLA]

Same here in Czech Republic! I love these american trucks!

There's about 5 up read from me he does Peterborough truck show alot

[@waffenbear117]

You guys have DAF which is owned by PACCAR which is Peterbilt/Kenworth.

[@kevinfalkner2243]

Detroit's crack heads or blocks around center cylinder. When they overheat. Keep checing oil for water. Did tons of them back in the day had to scrap many because of cracks in heads or blocks. .

[@composmentis2991]

$300 bucks for a pair of dry-rotted retread tires...good deal!

Compos Mentis that’s how they do it down there, drive 4 wheelers everywhere and shit!😂

Glad y’all made it home safe with lil Air Force. Can’t wait to see it up and running proper.

[@Haltech007]

Since she's a USAF truck, just call her 'Wingnut'. That's what the other branches used to call us when I was in the USAF.

[@davide.burden2043]

That is true, I was Marine Corps and I'm sure I said it a few times myself. Of course we had nicknames for every branch of the service. Which I will not be listing here. A lot of other service members called us Jar Heads, teased us about eating crayons, and worse, but you learn to take it all as good fun & rivalry between the different branches. Either that or you are going to get in a lot of fights if you go to town when you get liberty.

[@willamcarriveau3811]

Air force one. I love the old cab overs and the coffin sleeper. Keep up the good work. No mud lizard in it lol

[@ty_gardner_3053]

That crooked KW logo on that cabover!! Those are hard to find!

[@delmontindustriesltd7501]

Glad you guys made it safe and sound. As for a name, I say keep it air force related. I vote for "The Colonel".

[@gilg2560]

You should call the truck “Friendly Fire” because you’re already f’n it up! Steer retreads? Creek water? Plus no CDL! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@roscoebarnes1222]

Oh damn lmao

[@CaptainCrutch]

Good thing it’s an antique with no DOT# and weighs under 26,000 while not towing anything... so he technically doesn’t need a CDL to drive it... other than that, he needs to dump and flush that radiator out fast along with get new tires...

[@roscoebarnes1222]

@@CaptainCrutch uh.....

[@ko9446]

I believe the way the law works on a CDL is based on GVWR not on empty weight.

@@ko9446 you would be correct

You made it home that's the main thing. Good job guys.

[@livinglife2408]

I’ll be very interested to see how this one turns out once they start looking at a few of these issues and hopefully it’s not all show and no go like the other one he’s put to the side, did anyone see the video of his friend painting the trailer? Goes to the trouble of getting it sandblasted, Then just a couple of coats of top colour with no undercoat, surely if you go to that much trouble with sandblasting, you do a half decent job on the paint, trying not to troll here, but I don’t get how his mind works at times.

[@themoncolefish]

5:10 that truck is called a Rotator. Pretty sick truck, if you wanna see one in action check out Ron Pratt's channel. He is a two truck operator and he uses a Rotator like that.

[@ChampionBowling]

Shouldve just finished the international

[@joemcgarry6915]

Good on you. Liked the video, what a positive person you are Bruce, keep up the good work from over here in Scotland
