Reminds me of the truck I learned in, a Seddon Atkinson with 36 speed split box like that one. Only use the clutch to pull off and stop. Exhaust braking and turbo whistle for days. All the right noises for me haha.
Now that's a classic truck right there we have tons of them in Jamaica where I grew up and learn to drive the seddon atkinson with a 350 cummings and a 13 speed ⚙️ was my dad's second truck and that's what I learn to drive on cheers
Amazing video man can you please do more exactly like this one only in the next one see if we can include the engine start up and shift it really high rpm and if you can make it a lot longer because I love the sound of a cat stay safe out there. I appreciate what you do. Have a great one.
Good look bro but good music can't play with out the right mentor and the person behind the scene making sure the instrument stay tuned and ready to go and continue to play
Good job keeping the motor revved low that’s proper way like that other guy said and it prolongs the CAT miles you’ll get out of it. Ah they last regardless sweet old W900 too I got 3 2 are 2007 ones a ‘96 which I may configure into a daycab tractor rig. It’s another dump truck now. The motor I pulled out of it and rebuilt. 3406B CAT 425
You do drive it pretty well sound reminds me of my T800 and a T800 which also has a 475 Acert motor in it which is at my first job. Nice Clanky idle to em good torque for 475 horse
@@cjeverydaylife 475 CAT is a good motor it’s the same motor for up to 550 or over 600hp with the Acert model. Yea W900s always been mg favorite rig now I got some
Lol You mean driving the motor how it should be driven. Or shall I say shifting it correctly. That is shifting the RPMs low. The CATs with a 18 speed behind them usually like being shifted low RPM. Not dogging the motor or making it scream. Only using power when necessary there’s no need to cowboy shift it. I know my way around many transmissions and different motors. CATs are torque monsters made for hauling big weight. That’s why so many construction companies/ heavy hauling companies still own and run older rigs with CATERPILLAR POWER 💪🏼💪🏼 under the hood
Really? A GPS to tell you what lane to take? 1974 I was 23 years old hauling million dollar loads of IBM cross country.....no internet, no cellphones, no GPS...our only electronic was the CB. Somehow, in 35 years we never missed a pickup or delivery. We had brains and common sense. This crap nowadays makes me laugh. Glad I trucked back in the day.
Facts but trucking has come a far way since then and am just rolling with tide so can get the job done thank you for your hard work with out you guys trucking would be nothing today
@@cjeverydaylife Don't hear that guy, although he might have experience, his narrow-minded mentality doesn't let him be constructive in his arguments. If you feel that you need a GPS, then go for it, if it helps you meet the deadlines, then go for it. Use whatever may aid you.
Been seeing a lot of love for the N14 lately, but I just don't feel it. Doesn't have near the same growl that the old mechanical CAT's do. 3406 gang for life lol. Still love my 12 valve Cummins Dodge though. One of the best pickups ever made IMO.
I definitely agree on the 12 valve but on the n14 I have own one before didn't have any issues other ecm going out so that's why came back to the old mechanical
I'm hoping to buy a 359 with the 3406. Watching videos of similar trucks soaking it all up. That turbo whine is just like the 7.3 Powerstroke on my hotshot truck, so I'll be used to that part. Can't wait to have a big Cat of my own!
I've got a 3406b in my 1986 flc I'm building and I cant wait to hear the big kitty roar to life again, it's got a 15 speed with a 26% over drive and 3.55 gears on 24.5 tall rubber. Awesome video love the sound these old cats have.
Thanks man appreciate it alot flc are genuine classics and am glad your taking the time out to rebuild one so legends can live on and with your gearing and ratio that truck will be a beast keep me updated on the build
@@christopherdelao2055 yes it cost me over 2500 us to do everything but if you can find a car in the junk yard it would be better than buying from a place that pull the parts for you
hey man i saw you commenting on another video about manual swapping the 8th gen and was wondering how the progress was going on that or what ended up happening
