Freightliner fld120 FIRST ATTEMPT TO START AFTER 17 YEARS

- This truck has 397k.
Some friend I went to school with, bought the truck brand new and in 2003 they sold everything except for the truck and some items in the trailer and a little piece of land it sits on and they moved away. It was hard to get ahold of him because they moved accross the United States. So I bought a truck and the Forklift in one of the trailers. I don't know the reason for parking everything and moving away just to let it rot.
You have no idea what you are doing.... Drop the old fuel, then change fuel filters. Then fill takes with fresh fuel, purge the filters, then START IT.
@matty d Blow out injectors? Yeah I'm sure you are the best at blowing "stuff out".
@matty d why would you want to blow the injectors with bad fuel... That sounds like a good way to clog them
Lucky he doesn't blow up batteries
New fuel won't hurt
Air in system
I can't believe that in America, abandoned trucks are just standing in such decent condition. Come and take them, revive them... In Russia, this is generally impossible. Homeless people would have long taken it to scrap metal. Or hooligans would have just destroyed them out of malice. I was very pleased with what you are doing. It’s nice to see that there are still normal people somewhere...
RUclips at 2:00 am: would you like to see some people starting a truck
Me: why not
Holy crap.. 2:38am.
I woke up at 2am for some reason and decided to check youtube quickly, well now I am here
me too
2:48 am
Same... 7 months later
Not sure why vehicle rescue videos are so satisfying and fun to watch, but they just are. Vice Grip Garage, Junkyard Digs, this one here, I can’t stop watching them.
i agree

Hey guys, watch my video on me finding a 37 chrysler and trying to make it run after 45 years: ruclips.net/video/9_OXNclmskk/видео.html
That is the SilverAero edition. Freightliner brought them out in the early 90's as a limited edition. That is some history right there. They were all equipped with a 70 inch flat top sleeper, 3406B Cat, 15 speed fuller and that light rosewood panel. We even had one here in South Africa. I was in love when I first saw it in 1993. And the unique sound of the 3406B was something I will never forget.
I have the same exact truck in 1991 they made 500 of them half had cats the other half had cummins and they came with 13spds.I still have the original sales brochure.
hi everyone, I write from Italy I wanted to ask you kindly what difference is there between cat detroit and cummins engines? Here in Europe, each brand also has its own motor (e.g. scania with scania engine, IVECO with IVECO engine, etc.). I understand that in the U.S. you can choose various combinations for the same brand (eg peterbilt) and that it works as well for pick ups (duramax engine or stock etc.). thank you.
Great oldtrucks...
I miss the sound of diesel engines humming along the roads..
alba acrux I don’t know about the rest of Europe but in Britain at one time you had a choice of which engine you wanted in your truck.
Sending love to you from cape Town
The great old trucks no crappy DEF crap.
Amen, Brother.
Hell yeah yall. I honestly like people that use it cuz it helps the environment, but personally I need a kitty cat or Detroit that’s pre emittion. And no, I live in the heartland of oil and gas. My dad works in it. So I’m not no Greta bich
The fuck are u touching thi gs for!!!!!!!!!!! A huge fucking snake will pop you're ass
@@RyanDutchak if you live in oil country, you should love the new garbage. Anything below 60 degrees and my 2017 Freightliner gets a full 1.5 mpg less than my old 98 FLD.
@@RyanDutchak imagine getting triggered by a teen who speaks the truth
This makes me miss my grandfather. He loved his old peterbilt. Good on you for loving that Freightliner
Wow! Truck still looks in decent shape to not have moved for almost 20 years
There’s nothing like a Cat engine waking up, especially after a 17year nap! Bring on the rest of it! 🥰 This will make such a nice rig! 🥰 Love the Cats! 😍
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Should have put new fuel filters on and drain the tanks and put new fuel in it. Probably it would have started a hole lot quicker

It beats me why these people turn up to start a truck they know nothing about without the correct tools and parts, you would have thought they would bring fresh fuel and filters at the very least.
Have cold beer thought !!!
@@robqwertyuipp8750 yeah cant forget that, gotta have a drink smh
This was a limited edition to celebrate Mercedes buying Freightliner , Mine had the purple stripe, 425 cat 13 deep reduction, 750 watts alpine stereo leather seats and real rose wood dash, she would 94 at 1900, I never took it to 2300.
Was the last trucks made before freightliner became stupid Mercedes owned.
Emanuel, CF sold to Daimler-Benz in 81 now Daimler Chrysler and then CF closed their doors in 02 and shifted their accounts to their non union company Conway then Conway sold to UPS as their non union company and renamed it XPO, Brazil owns Budweiser, That 91 FDL silver aero was probably built at their new plant in Mexico they also own Western Star in Canada and Sterling in Detroit bought from Ford Truck division All of witch anyone around the world can buy stocks in, Central America is the melting pot, except it all around the world same song, I like my International owned by Peterbuilt.
The title should say things not to do when trying to start an old cat ...
Either he will burn valves

the things i do are different than anyone else. that's why they work. running and driving video coming soon!

FLD120s are gorgeous! Shame to see the beautiful truck rotting away. Save it quick!
This thing was the shit when it was new. Restoring it would be worth it.16 years at a Freightliner dealiership never seen this trim level in a FLD.
Looks like a limited edition trim
That's because they went to a CAT dealer to have engine repairs.
I'll spoil the video for you They got it started but it cut out and then never got started again.
Poor preparation too much starting fluid, that poor old 3406 ain't getting the juice, stop abusing it.
Totally agree
Yep!
Painfull to watch.
You can't fix everything with a can of ether...
Prime the fuel system... Jeeez!
No shit!! Yikes! Hard to watch SMH
The second thing is to get the fuel priming pump working.
fuel system was primed before trying to start. Was trying to figure out why no fuel at the injectors and found the rack is stuck in off position. I've tried everything and going to have to pull the pump and free up the barrels and plungers in the next video
Say goodbye to the starter if keep cranking like that, I'd definitely took off the fuel filters to be sure even had fuel in them & have some FRESH fuel there to top them off with.
You should make an update video on this truck. I first watched this video 3 years ago and I'm still interested on what happened to it.
Change the fuel filters !!
and dont spray and let it run on only ether
And change the oil!
You'll gonna need a hefty amount of cash to restore it, but it is worthy if she just start rolling on the road and making money
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Comments were stuck on triple 6’s, so I had to comment...I used to own a 2005 freight liner classic with the condo sleeper.
Good clean low resistance connections on the batteries are essential to start those big diesel engines.
397,000 miles and sitting for 17 years? Wow she hasn’t been loved in forever I’m glad your able to get the ole gurl back on the open road where she belongs :)!
Its proably not been sitting 17 years company's don't usually get ride of them to release from miles
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Feed her the whole can of ether and send her straight to the ketchup.
Those old freight shakers are loyal as fuck though
A ztpties fan I see... Mint!
Man of culture
That is so cool that some trucks can be sitting for so long and some people just start it and then there you go. I think that is amazing. That is one of the reasons that I want a big truck like that.
Make sure you have deep pockets for repairs and plates and permits this isn’t the trucking it use to be to many people with hands in your pockets
It's called no emissions no DEF Regen system. Pretty much just good Ole mechanical motors
Beautiful truck great shape for the year, also I really love it how he is holding the child in his arms while working, I love grandparents and parents in general, that’s how to do it 😊
Sir just be careful starting these old diesel trucks around your young ones. Sometimes these old diesel engines that have been sitting around for years can run away from you if the rod is stuck in full power mode. And if they blow it will send shrapnel everywhere. Not trying to tell ya what to do. But their is some dangers to this. Great vid though I def subscribed.
Very good point, but to be fair think he already knew that as he is ready to block air intake to shut it down.
Im positive that's why he had the block ready for the intake
Wrong on so many levels, piss poor preparation, not trolling but ouch my man this was painful to watch.
Not everyone is a professional RUclips, I’ve never seen a more ignorant comment on a video. Just keep that shit to yourself next time you want to complain.

@@rinkrat5003disrespect my wife? Pull up in my yard and I'll show your man pleaser the truth... oh by the way your wife loves the mushroom head. Pathetic asshat.
Agreed. No filter changes, no new fuel, didn’t say anything about checking the oil, and used ether. Failed in all levels
Where is part 2!?!?
ruclips.net/video/TwqFQCet7Us/видео.html
That could be a nice truck, dont hurt the engine. Need to prime the fuel system and have good batteries with charger/jumper cables.
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
I'm not sure why RUclips wanted me to watch this video but I'm happy I did
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
The first thing you need to do is change the fuel and air filters. Second, check the fuel pump and put fresh diesel in tank. If it has been sitting for 17 years the diesel is all gummed up
I've always loved the old FLD Freightliners. They did an awesome job back then of making an aerodynamic truck with good milage that still has an awesome classic look. I just love them. I'd love to have a later model one with a big high top sleeper.
How's it guys? from Zambia Africa. I came across your video by accident and had to watch. Please make another video, cause I loved your patience trying to start that baby. I love American trucks and the sweet sound of the Jake brake. Hope it has one. I drive truck in Australia and always admired American trucks when the passed me. I hope your toddler will appreciate trucks as he gets older. Good luck with the freightliner.
thanks for watching hope to start restoring it soon
@Virginia & DC Truck Spotting It's running now. will get a video of getting it running on its own and maybe driving down the road soon.
rookie move. you always check all your fluid levels first and your filters then fill the filter bowl with fresh fuel and at least a full jerry can of fresh fuel in the tank.
Yeah ...Fuel... not gasoline like he said earlier!! 🤣😅🤣
Well he was drinking it looked like. Another rookie ass move, seriously.
@@moabt.frican7163 Running and driving video coming soon.
@@207mphgtr yeah. 5 gallon gasoline mix w 1/2 tank of diesel helps clean tanks.
Maybe you should turn this truck Into Optimus Prime!

Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
If meinberg owned it I drove it passed it one day coming out of Lansing mich.luv to have it fixed up
From India, we have the best cold starters "yathra today"
My grandfather "papa" used to drive these, blew his knees out after 20 years driving the big rigs from Lancaster CA all over the US from the early 1980's to the late 1990's. He had this exact rig when he was hauling for Swift back in the early 90's, I used to go with him on some trips. Word to the wise NEVER haul for Swift unless you are an owner-operator. A trip to see this just wasting away in the weeds, great vid!
Blew his knee out becuase he dumbass using clutch like an idiot. Float shifting was over his head becuase he dumbass
@Mike grazio You are just not in a good mood today. If you don’t have anything nice to say, why say anything at all?
Weighing over 400 lbs will do that
Cheap batteries you get what you pay for
They were probably older batteries from another vehicle.
That looks just like the FLD I drove back in the mid 90's for a company called DTI out of South Dakota.
They didnt use it a lot yeah only 397.000 miles...
That rattling noise when the battery was low is what blows engines up with ether. It sounds like it lived through the close call but that is extremely dangerous when not cranking fast enough. Just telling folks dont do that.

That truck would sell so fast, if your buddy wanted to sell it.
Sean Moore is buy it right now! Been looking for a fld 120 without 3 million miles hahah
@@weepweep2225 Its a mechanical. Trucks like these deserve to be fixed up. If you can't afford and or want to put forth the effort to give it some TLC don't acknowledge it. Atleast not in that manner. I bought my 93 Peterbilt EXHD with 2 million miles on it 3 years ago. It was sitting in what looked like a small semi junkyard It's got a 3406C CAT and a 18spd transmission. Hasn't given me any major problems yet. Was driving around one day, saw it from the street. And just had to buy it. These old trucks have potential. And there simplicity and reliability can astound, don't ya think.
Sean Moore didn’t say there was no potential, in fact nothing bad was said about even if it had 3 million miles, all that was stated was I did not want one with 3 million miles, Not what someone else wanted. And yes they do deserve to be fixed up! These older trucks are amazing and worth their weight in gold. Guess ya gotta watch what ya say on RUclips 😂😂 some people get a lil butt hurt don’t ya think?
@@weepweep2225 where where you a few months ago with I sold two FLD's I had?
highjix still have any for sale? 😎
Change the title to "Will it start? Big Freightliner Not Started in 17 Years" You video views will go nuts
Missing some jumpers on them batteries, looks like.
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
I don't to crack to injectors open on that truck when your feeding start spray into it but when will help 50 era the system have too little get philips injectors to BMP's get stuck from the old diesel fuel so by doing this your helping 2 things your game the plungers to move in getting the truck a chance to start
i want to buy this thing and clean it up and throw it on the road. why the hell would you let that thing sit.... doesn’t even have 400k miles. barely broken in.
Agree...
What a waste, fresh fuel & new glow plugs...
Aint nothing like watching about dumbass messing with something he knows nothing about.GTFOH
Now put it to work🙌🏾 we wanna see that workhorse do what it was made to do 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Still don't understand why people abandon trucks. So much money just sitting there rotting away.
Как обычно посадили батареи потом саляру начали смотреть....
Wrong connection of batterys.all 4should have same negative and same positive.
Dang...perfectly good semi wasting away for 17 years.
I was watching and I couldn't help but notice, is your wife a filipina too? Working on a truck with the family it just don't get any better than that. Those kids will have some good memories when they are older 👍👍👍
If it has 379,000 original miles, it’s definitely a keeper. These old FLDs with the Pre EGR 60 Series are the definition of reliability and low cost of ownership. Definitely an Owner Operator truck.
Truck has a Caterpillar engine.
ogkillla truck has a Caterpillar 3406e in it
@@tadobryant6554 That's a 3406b.
The speedometer turned over at a million miles
Go ahead and buy you one, make you some big money truckin! With $1.70 rates, high insurance, over regulation, pay parking, waiting hours to take a shower

Your little Ella is so cute! lucky you having such an angelic daughter!
so its low on fuel, possible clogged filters or bad pump etc. so you spray a ton of ether to try and keep it running which is isanely bad for a diesel and from the tick when it was running at the end for 30 seconds does it have oil pressure? or even oil for that matter? had a ad rattle in the top end
Will you be making more RUclips videos on the Freightliner.

Seems that he is a pro….
17 years old filter, Diesel, Oil….
😂
Poor Truck
Didnt see them check for fuel,how about water in the filters, good lord.
Too many things they did not do.
Fun but painful to watch. Lol
17. Years and 3000 k and out in the middle of nowhere ??? What kind of people haz money to throw away like that ?
Almost sounds like the fuel shut off isn’t moving, the solenoids clicking but it might not be pulling the rack to the run position, just a guess
yes the rack is stuck. Im hoping to free it up so i dont have to pull the pump.
you guessed right.
Аккумуляторы даже не заряжали 17 лет и он завёлся???
It was interesting to watch you and how you trouble shoot the issues...good luck
Hello my friend writing with great pleasure🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Всё отлично👍👍👍если можно номеруйте свои выпуски. А то все выпуски в разбежку и не понятно где первый где второй.
After 17 years, probably needs more than new batteries and ether. Just saying.
hey this is Rodger I was watching your video there on the fld120 I have a 99 fld120 it's not a bad-looking old truck I mean it's been 08 sold the motor it's got a 12-7 Detroit in it it's got bad blow by won't start but it'll turn over I don't know what part of this and didn't go through
Yes and service to the starter and change the filter good-looking
A little puff of quick start will have you cranking for nothing. That puff will maybe fire 1 cylinder. Use enough to fire all cylinders and save the batteries. Good video though... these old machines were the real McCoy.
This is how you don’t start a old truck.
Rev its stone cold, old oil nut off.........jeez...... painful
No. next time I'll pull start it
What a disjointed rambling slurred waste of bandwidth...
Need about 25 more of those $25 batteries
1991 Silveraero special edition. Manufactured in 1990 and available with 4 colors of striping. Green, red, blue and black. I pre-ordered mine in April 90 and took delivery on August 17, 1990. Sold it in 2004 with 1.3 million miles on it and the .engine was never touched other than regular maintenance. Mine had the green stripes 3406B/e with a 15 over and people would actually chase me down on the highway to get pictures.
That should read limited edition because there were only 500 of them built
Thanks Don that's interesting. My friend ordered this I think in early 1991 I remember this truck since it was new. he just used it local never cross country. It's running now I think I will restore it.
You have a adorable little girl...those eye's

Man...that either is so painfull to watch...I can tell you all my 23 yrs at Cat..the holes in the pistons from either Being used has been allot
Whar woyld be the proper liquid to uses thanks
@@feur2884 WD 40 is the best if you gotta use something to start it or you can put gas on a rag, lay it over the air cleaner / filter so it dont get sucked into the turbo
A foot on the clutch wouldnt hurt either...sure save on batt power and starter life.
Maybe your battery cables ant tight enough. Use your air wrench instead of that impact.
Back in the day this was the coolest looking truck out there.

Still is in my opinion
@@seanmcguire6011 Hello my friend writing with great pleasure 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Looks like an former DTI (Direct Transit Inc.) truck which was bought out by Swift in the mid 90's
Doubtful to call it the first start after 17 years, the first start attempt after 17 years is better.
Really looking forward to the future and hope for success. Thanks so much.
Technically it DID start. lol just wouldn't stay running.
@@Shane-Singleton It could not breathe itself without respiratory care. ether gas in spray bottle. Can you say that the engine runs by itself?
That you have started the engine?
Those are my humble questions.
Otherwise, it is a very nice and good truck that will certainly be great. I look forward to more episodes, and thank you for your comment.
@@seriksson9721 Hard to say those times it acted like it was running away and then idling if it was only running off of the ether or not. certainly sounds like an issue with fuel delivery, though. And to me, judging by the way it would crank and then start to stumble and resist cranking it makes me think the injection pump may either be bad or not timed properly. Because it almost sounds like when you have too much initial timing or heat in a gas engine and try to stat it. it'll turn then pause and then turn again. By my defnition even if it runs off of the starting fluid it still started. Now the big questions is will it stay running on its own fuel and can they get it out of there under its own power?
@@Shane-Singleton Thanks. I hope and believe that they will succeed with both the engine and moving the vehicle. I think but do not know for sure the sound of
too much initial timing is the sound of too much ether igniting in the engine. I will contact a knowledgeable person tomorrow and will be back. Nice discussion, thanks again.
@@Shane-Singleton Hi. Knowledgeable people say that with 99.99% probability, it does not get diesel, but only goes on ether. It should be relatively easy for an experienced person to fix. Thank you and we look forward to the future.
Honestly it doesn't look like it's been lying there since 17 yrs as mentioned in the thumbnail
DAAAADDYYY!! Forget the truck and pay attention to MEEEE! She’s a daddy’s girl. Awesome!Edit: Oops didn’t realize there were two kids there.

@@19jody72 yeah I wanna know too
Replace fuel filters and make sure there’s fuel pressure and no air in the lines. It sounds like it’s full of air and you should never start a diesel with starting fluid. The glow plugs could blow up the engine block.
Right...
Except, there are no glow plugs !
