@@grumpystruckshop3807 as much as I love Cummins you sir are correct there’s nothing better then a 3406 cruising at a low rpm making those kitty noises
This is going STRAIGHT to my favorites list. I can literally fall asleep to the sound of that idle. That rig is an absolute THING OF BEAUTY. Signed, An owner of an an F-250 that wishes his truck sounded that good....
Those original signature motors hauled the mail for sure👍 excellent engine brakes on them too. I drove them years ago in roadtrain application, best pulling motor i have driven even on par with KTA19 600hp I drove.
I couldn't agree more mate! We were steering 510's over the west and when the Qsk19's wore out it was cheaper to put Gen2 crate motors in them, they had Jake's and pulled better!
Best Cold Start I've seen so far!! An I love that SIGNATURE 600!! Thang is a monster both running wise an pulling... an they idle so dam smooth an quite!!👍🏾👍🏾
These big diesel cold starts are so satisfying to watch. I have old turbo diesel Jeep and I like cold starts in the morning. It doesn't sound as good but there's a lot of smoke. 😁

There's just something about Cummins engines man... I love a good CAT, but Cummins are right up there IMO, and tend to have better Jakes as well. This truck here sounds like the (very) big brother to my Dodge Ram's 12 Valve engine. I love it! 👍
A perfect example of these and similar models of Cummins engines. 15 to 20 seconds of cranking before the fuel system even start putting anything in the cyclinders it can even begin to try and run on.
@@YoungsCustom sure, I agree. I just don’t see why ppl think it’s so great…I guess they don’t know and don’t care, because they’re not doing the repairs for any damage it does.
I have an associates degree in machine tool technology so I fully understand the repercussions of doing that, I have literally rebuilt that truck, $34,000 long block included, but I do all my own work, so I'm lucky I guess. I was just trying to show the stress these trucks go through to operate.
@@YoungsCustom the first 3406e or the 5ek had a weak block..e models didn't get the better block until late serial number 6ts e models..so first gen e models were not the best lol
1971 pontiac firebird formula, been restoring it myself for 10 years. I know the bandit is a 77 trans am special edition but close enough, I do have 5 other Pontiacs to, it's a problem
@@YoungsCustom nice. These kid’s today have no idea what it feels like to grab a bunch of gears at 85. Nor do they look far enough ahead to wield such capability! 33 years enjoying my trade . And these days my cruise is set just relaxing.
He cranked it for 20 seconds roughly. You must not have ever been around heavy duty engines. Truck engines and all heavy equipment engines are equipped with heavy duty starters that are fine for 30 seconds minimum. Go back to driving your sedan little man
@@ronnieswindski825 Excuse me BOY, I am 70 years old, 48 years trucking, last 25 in heavy haul. All but 7 years driving/owning Caterpillar. That is a good way to burn up a starter.
@@danmetcalf7184 right, that's why every piece of heavy equipment has a label stating 30 second crank intervals and manuals as well. Not to mention it was 20 seconds. If he held it for 10 second internals, it would not have started the first time. Starter manufacturers on heavy engines recommended 2 minute cool down time between intervals. In this temperature at 10 second intervals, he may have to attempt this 3-4 times possibly way more even to the point of the battiers needing a jump. Holding it for 20 seconds straight causes significantly less wear as opposed to 4 shorter tries not to mention you're engaging the solenoid many more times increases wear on the flywheel teeth. So no, it's not a good way to burn up a starter. You burn up starters by cranking excessively plus low batteries because low voltage increases the heat to the starter. Just because you did something you're whole life doesn't mean a thing. I worked for an excavation company for 5 years when I got out of highschool and by age 22 I was better at running equipment and setting grades than 60 year Olds who been doing it thier entire life. Some people just never get it
@@ronnieswindski825 Sonny, I am SO happy that I will not have to put up with you youngsters that ‘know everything’ much longer. As soon as the sale of my Cat powered 379 Pete is complete, I will be happily done. I will leave it to the ‘turn the key and push D’ crowd. BYE 👋!!
@@danmetcalf7184 yeah I'm not a kid anymore buddy. I spent my entire life from the time I could walk around heavy equipment from my dad doing it and trucks. I just explained to you the reason you are wrong and you can't back up anything but just complain. I remember older guys like you back in the day. They couldn't swallow their pride and even when they were wrong they would blame it on someone else and walk off all mad. You need to grow up already and act like a man. Just because someone is younger doesn't mean they are wrong. Do you manufacture starter motors? Do you design them and understand every working part? No. You just hop in and turn the key. I am telling you facts straight the men who make them and know their capabilities not to mention I have worked extensively on heavy equipment and trucks my entire life. There's a famous saying in Russia, "you are born a baby, then become a man, then return to baby". I think you're at that stage when you can't admit you're wrong. Hopefully that truck goes to someone who knows what they're doing
They warm up through the 10 to 20 seconds of cranking it takes to get the fuel system to power up and start squirting fuel into the cylinders. 😋 (I wish I was joking.)
@@YoungsCustom yeah it can still run but it doesnt mean that engine is in good condition it need to start much faster than this but i love american trucks so it doesnt mean nothing keep going 💪💪strong
If it's anything like mine it has 4/0 cables from each battery right to the starter and back. When I first got mine I thought it was overkill, but after finding out that it is normal to have to crank them for 10 to 20 seconds to get them to start, it made sense.
