I have always wondered why no one rebuilds their own injector pumps, this explains it.

[@pdmustgtd1013]

Not big deal with injection pumps. Biggest problems are governor fly weights they wear and also timing advance fly wheels. Weights are always moving in and out against thrust plate they wear into it. Hanging idle, not smooth rpm or wear very badly and engine can run away. Mechanical engine kept shops busy about every 2 yrs you where in there replacing them. Or like many never fix them and engine runs poorly or runs away (BOOM engine goes)

[@stephenr6427]

The man who built the pump is an amazing man all the pumps he builds that information he needs must be endless

When I was in high school shop the teacher invited somebody in with a giant yellow CAT mounted on a trailer, setup to start and run as a demonstration. When he started it the wind blew and it smoked so much we all had to go running out of the shop to breathe. I've loved diesels ever since. :)

I was a 24 year old kid who grew up mostly in Alabama, who loved to drive a truck. 1986 I picked up a load of air freight at Dulles, straight to South San Francisco airport. I had a backhaul in Compton to load the next day, so I had plenty of time to get there. Old Freightliner with the huge hood, faded grey paint , broke passenger vent window, the steering pulled really hard every time you went past a junkyard. I tooling down i 5, just past the Taft exit when that fuel advance self destructed. It didn't break the front cover of the engine (which was not unusual),but Inland Kenworth couldn't locate the problem until they had charged over 6k in labor, dissembling and testing. I stayed in Bakersfield over 3 weeks ! I still love to drive a truck! Full time local. Thanks for the video! Good memories!

It's interesting how different some things are around the world. So US and canadian truckers don't like cabovers anymore but here in europe nearly every truck is a cabover. It's caused by laws, there are maximum lengths of truck and trailer, so cabovers allow more load capacity.

[@fowletm1992]

Road construction is worlds ahead as well they're not going as far per day so comfort is less of an issue

Something about Cabovers has always interested me. I had a fleet of day cabs collected from barns/next to barns from basically what Rich said, people didn't want to drive cab overs anymore (or they were replaced after being ran for a hard life). The only cabovers I have left are a couple Isuzu's (1 smaller box, another slightly larger with a toolbox/flatbed combo) for fun/utility and to satisfy the want to own one. A lot of the trucks I had ran fine and with minimal rust, mostly just mice and shot paint from the sun (Midwest US trucks kept in sheds/barns or cleaned). I kept them until the market/demand for them started to shoot up as projects or for parts, then I cleared out my lot and used the money to cover more than a few of my other much smaller nugget projects. One example being my daily at the moment, a 2011 Mazda5 Van loaded with options, manual gearbox, the turbocharhged awd power/drivetrain out of a MazdaSpeed 6 (rip, someone hit mine...in a parking lot...parked...away from other cars), and custom suspension to make it all run smoothly and hug the road on turns. I've always loved the small Mazda5's, a turbocharged AWD sleeper model was my dream...still rip my sedan, though :(.
