My truck is leaving Penong Truckstop in South Australia with a load of off-shore drill gear ( nice light load of 10 tons on second trailer ). Power by CAT 3408.
"B triple" with 3 trailers at WA / SA border.
A load of "Bushmaster" APCs on Kenworth T904 double road train with CAT C15.

V8 with an Air Starter. It just doesnt get any better than that.

@@SR-bh5jd Am 60 now, but when I was about 7, my dad stopped for fuel one night, My mom and I walked to the restaurant for some food, as we passed a truck the driver hit the air start. Mom had a heart attack and I began a lifetime love of airstarters.

Back in the 80s the 3408 Cat was untouchable on the I40 run to the west coast, black smoke pouring from the stacks and a rumble that would make you wet your jeans.

There's nothing quite like those old Cat V8s. Lovin it. Hearing a 3408B blast off through open-headers in the dyno-room is the closest thing to a religious experience that I've ever had.

I wonder how much longer we will be able to run these mechanically injected engines with all this carbon trading BS we've got coming, especially in this country.

@gm16v149 14 лет назад

You can get bio-diesel but I am a bit wary of it before we know all the facts. Common rail has been around since before the Detroit Series 60 in 1987, DD had an electronic 8V92 with unit injectors before that. I suppose you could say GM has had it since WW2 in the 2 cycle engines but they weren't electronic obviously.

@gm16v149 14 лет назад

My cabover holds 1,800 litres. Bonneted trucks hold up to 2,500 litres or more. I usually fill up after about 1,200 kms because you don't want the tanks to run too low.

@gm16v149 14 лет назад

@ruairi50 Most of the heavy-duty road train trucks are KW, Mack or Western Star, but you do see the occasional Volvo or Scania up north. Mine is a 1980 with about 5,000,000 kms. Most trucks are a lot newer but mine is a good spec and in good condition so I've kept it.

@squach6239 7 лет назад

MrUp8444 Yeah cool isn't it!??!? I drove an old dump truck that had an air starter on it, the big problem with them is if you lose air pressure you gotta get somebody with glad hands to air up your tank!

@gm16v149 13 лет назад

@cj382 I guess you mean spot lights? The roads out West are empty at night and the Lightforce H.I.D. lights turn night into day. If you mean headlights, the round ones are probably more efficient and are cheaper to replace than the rectangular ones some of the trucks in the U.S. and Europe have.

Hey chris i guess i found out a while ago that they do make chrome valve covers for these. I saw one on a peterbilt dump truck that had an 3408 in it. It might be custom though i don't know.

@cvdwalt2000 15 лет назад

thank you for clearing it, nothing like a straight six, it's hard to find v8's here, they were bad on fuel and had no power. cat build a monster truck motor in the 60's, a six cylinder twin cam 1393 or 1394, i always wanted one, i think you can get about 1500 hp out of them, i get about 700hp out of my 3406b ( block is stock....lol)

@JoeHupp 15 лет назад

I used to have an Aerodyne just like that one, 15 speed deep reduction. Why do most of the trucks down there have those big round head lights?

@Mav_F 3 года назад

Flood / Bull lights is 2 names for them. To light up the road when it's so dark and need to see a very long way in front of you. It's hard to stop in a hurry and these lights help to see every on and the side of the road. Cant use them if someone else is in front of you and coming towards you. The outback is pitch black most of the time and dark roads don't help. Does this help you out? Its the best way for me to answer as a female who only drivers tonka toys on my parents farm to these guys and 10 years later.

Man,oh man! Australian Truckers got it made; great trucks, big engines and that "you help me, I help you" Trucker culture. By the way, did anybody notice the fact that australian and Canadian Truckers are allowed to pull two, three, sometimes four trailers? If we North American owner-operaters were allowed to do that, even with fuel prices at $4-5+ a gallon, we'd make a fortune under own authority. Do the math, guys- 4 loads(1 per trailer) from L.A to NY $3.05 per mile=$35990.00! Keep'rolling!

@samuelnascimento5267 5 лет назад

The government don't want see you making to much dough. Just enough to keep you fed. In Brazil i pull a road train with to trailes (wiggle wagon) but the transportation companies eat up part of revenue of the second trailer. I'm tired of this bull.

There are a lot of turnpikes (what we call two 53 foot trailers hooked together) running the trans canada... they dont pay twice the freight. I dont really know why. I personally dont think it would be worth it
