Kenworth K100 CABOVER Resto: 13 speed Eaton/Fuller Transmission & Mural 

I agree Phil, it makes more sense to me after putting the clips together. I’ll definitely have him do another soon.

Thanks Tom

I can’t agree with the clutching every gear I do agree with starting out in a low gear, whatever gear you can idle out in. Drove 54 years and never had a trans or clutch wear out

Thanks Don and I’m learning too. It started to sink in as I put the video together. 😬

I listen to him regularly add nausiem......lol just kidding, he's a great friend and mechanic.

Thanks Chris you too 😬👍

Very cool experiences buddy, hat tipped to ya 😬👍

Everyone has their comfort zone… it’s all good

Thanks Lester, I’m blessed by his experience and friendship. 😬👍

Thanks, and for for watching Gary. Hat tipped to your many years of service 😊👍

I know I’ve learned so much from him. 👍

Thanks Nick, I’m thinking of making those dark brown to match the frame. The black is just a bit too much but the brown will accomplish the same effect visually separating the colors but not so bold. Anyway love your projects as well. 😬👍

@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE the brown is a great idea as well! Cant wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks John, he knows his stuff 😬👍

Your experience never ceases to amaze me Russ! And thank you 😊

@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE Hey Dane did you ever think of doing a Cannon Ball G.M.C. just a thought.

Lol thanks Brian. These old trucks can tell their story if we “listen” lol. 😬

Thank you but let’s not get his head too big… we need to get a lot more work done under the cab lol 😂😂😂😂

There ya go. A little personalization makes a truck more memorable 👍

Thanks Terry

Thanks Dan your right, I’m getting the hang of puff can painting just as I’m about finished lol. Yes that trans was rebuilt right before it was parked in 79.

Yes sir

Thank you Jason and for watching 😬👍

Thanks Robert you do the same 😬🤘

Thanks Melvin, it’s true Jm blessed by so many knowledgeable and experienced guys . It’s good to share the knowledge too.

Thanks to him I can picture what you had to do....always learning. Thanks for the support :)

I agree, he knows his stuff and been there and done it a few times lol.

Thanks for watching Dan, thanks for reminding me about pre selecting I should have asked him to cover as well.

You can preselct high or low range. It wont shift until you are in the neutral gate. Im jot sure ypu can see it, but if you look close inside the transmission behind the slave valve there is a plunger sticking out. It mates with a plunger in the shift cover (where the forks are). If the shifter is in gear the plunger in the cover pushes the plunger in the case into the piston in the slave valve. ( iston is the part 1/4 on one end 1/2 on the other) There is a groove in the piston the pluger goes into. It prevents the range shifting high or low. When you go into neutral springs return the plungers and that allows the piston to move and complete the shift

He was a smart man 😬

Yepp, he really knows his stuff and so glad he insisted we do that. Thanks Paul as always 😬👍

@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE 🇺🇸 Good morning my friend. I believe I told you before. This KW, aka GH, quite reminds me of the 1969 KW that my dad had when I was a kid. I was so infatuated with that truck it seems. I could climb up in it at 5 yrs old & take a nap in the bunk. They found me there a few times. Hahaha! My brother had it out on a trip, was coming back thru KY, and it caught fire & burned to the rails. I heard my dad on the phone & I was crying cause I thought my brother was in it. I sure was happy when I found out he was OK. It was sad to see the frame rails at the garage when it was hauled in. Well, that’s my old KW story. Sad but true. Have a double portion today & be safe! Blessings. 🤩🤩✌️

It was rebuilt right before it was parked in 79.

Lol, I can hear him now. And I don’t think so 😬👍

The only modification with the main box in the truck, would be to a 9 speed. Of course that would require a longer dtive shaft. You would also lose the overdrive. It would be like 12th in the 13 speed

That’s a fact! I’m trying to retain as much as I can.

All dead but yes. 🤮

That’s a safer way to do it in case there’s problems but I’ve just always done it dry. Thanks for watching 😬👍

@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE you can tell you’ve been doing it a while grasshopper is looking good keep the videos coming

Yes sir, somewhere along the line somebody pays the $ for vanity 🤷🏼‍♂️

No, I may consider it next year as all the RU-vidrs are wanting to get together there for a meet and greet

Absolutely nothing wrong with not using the clutch IF you have the correct finesse. You have to have just the right timing between getting out of the fuel and moving the stick so your not dragging the clutches. I'd guess most do but some do not. I driven millions of miles without the clutch with no damage.

@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE there were alot there this year.

Thanks for watching 😬👍
