Porter greetings! When they go to use that much oil then it’s time to do something about it. Now that would make such a nice video series! But if you can’t do it, then find someone whom you can trust to get it done. Hopefully, you will be very satisfied with their work. Please do keep us posted on Ol Red. You’ve made such a beautiful and useful truck with her! I’m not a Cummins man, but it has done pretty well up to now for you, and that’s what it has in it. Well, just wish you the best with it. Blessings from your Ohio Porters. 😎✌️
Can’t wait to hear the old girl when you get it back, the 3406b will not disappointed that is what I have in my 85. I know the feeling of not wanting someone to work on your stuff we had that feeling after having to do 2 overhauls on the same motor in a year because the guy screwed it up the first time.
Well the old saying if it doesn't rain it pours comes to mind and it seems it also means if your an owner driver and working your butt off to get ahead, something is going to throw a spanner in the works ! 3406B is cool i had one in the T650 KENWORTH i drove. Good engine. Good luck Ez and thanks for sharing. Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a guy who's been turning wrenches for over 25 years, I too grit my teeth at the thought of someone working on my stuff. Its anhuge risk with all the hacks and halfassery out there these days. I wish you the best of luck man. Old red is looking gorgeous as usual. 👍👍 Keep up the excellent work!
That sucks about the old Cummins man, hard to beat a good 855 , especially how good it sounds going down the road, hopefully you will be happy with the motor swap. N14 would nice swap in there just sayin.🤔
Thank you EZ for sharing your real. That condensate drain is a minor oversight, all things considered. Say hi to copilot Jimmy for me. I really appreciate you showing us all the challenges. It’s a lot easier when you have to deal with your own problems knowing you are not alone. I wonder how many folks are saying “what would EZ do in this predicament,” at least once a week. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Man I’m sorry to hear that. I’m in the process of restoring my old 359 dump truck and it feels like it’s one thing after another. But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for the videos, very inspiring.
I used to be an over the road trucker in Australia, I now work in the crane industry in New Zealand. I know fatigue when I see it. You do great work and turn out awesome content and work so hard. Look after yourself mate. All the best from NZ.
I have a 84 359 I swapped out my 400 big cam 3. For a 3406B both great engines but the cat more reliable and has more power and parts are actually easy to get. The Cummins was a little cheaper on parts though both very simple to work on but I know you already know that keep up the good work 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Sorry to hear about the cummins. Look on the bright side. you weren't left on the side of the road a couple 100 miles away from your home base. Anyway.....can't wait to hear Ole RED Purrrrrrr with your new stacks.
Man, I really enjoy watching your videos. I love how you talk through your issues and fill us in on the broader details of what's going on with your life and your equipment. Makes for some quality entertainment and I feel like I'm always learning a thing or two, whether it's mechanical tips or just learning how to keep cool when things go wrong. Cheers from nashville!
Ooh boy, 3406! #catpower Hope you'll be doing a done up E model, that should be a great engine for the truck. I always thought the Cummins 400 was the one part of your truck that would be better off improved (and I own both Cummins and Cat diesels). On towing your Toyota, if the transfer case has a neutral position I wouldn't bother disconnecting the driveshaft. I tow a Land Rover Discovery 1 behind my 40' diesel pusher RV (3126B engine). I was definitely nervous the first time doing it, but I've spent around 10k miles towing that thing behind the RV, and zero issues. Transfer case in neutral, hubs unlocked (as appropriate), transmission in park (or if yours is a manual, I'd probably do top gear). Saves you the trouble of disconnecting the driveshaft. On my RV I use the rear view camera to keep an eye on what I'm towing since I can't see it in my mirrors either. Might consider adding one to Old Red. Good luck!
Good video Ezra always a tough time when you have do take care of issues with an engine but if it's done right it makes all the difference in the world and is worth every penny, lookin forward to the next one
I have a couple of new 389's and an 04 379 otr. Looking for a 359 currently for my dad and I to restore. I really enjoy your channel 👍👍I grew up in a 359. I am partial to kitty CATS... I hope to see a B model, E model, or early 6NZ gracing your beautiful 359... I have a 6NZ in my 04 and I love that truck❤ planning on a lot of upgrades to it over the next year or so. I've been in and around trucks my entire life. Cab overs... ❤359's❤ 379's and currently 389's. My 72" flat top 389 is 15,988... can't do that in anything else I'm aware of! Keep up the good work 👍 I really enjoy your channel 🇺🇲
Hell yes a 3406B. Thats awesome. Throw in a Marine cam. Marine heads and that Turbo you hVe might be decent. The Marine 3406b can run 580 HP. Plenty to tow what you haul. And that 13 speed will keep the fuel costs down.
If you put a Cat engine in that truck, then you will have taken that thing about as far as you can. 100% pimped out! Only thing left will be the chrome naked lady figurines on the mud flaps. Nice truck.
I'm almost shocked - after how good it looked when you removed the Rocker Covers and Oil Pan!! Maybe it was the extended idling with low Oil Pressure, because of that busted Piston Sprayer... But I've been a Mechanic and Engine Builder for way too long, to start "Internet Diagnosis"!! 😜 Looking forward to seeing the solution...
It's entirely possible that the broken piston oiler caused the scored liner that caused the oil consumption. I don't remember what cyl that was off the top of my head
😳😳 look if that big cam is going away……… I’ll buy your high flow system 😅😅😅 my big cam Iv is a low flow! Hope everything works out good for you brother!
Coming out of El Paso towards the Alamo city never saw a Cummins pull a Cat 15 liter, them cats especially the bull haulers just rip all you see is them pipes glowing in the night , you can always tell it’s a cat even before you see it hope you go 6nz , single turbo with electric injectors , SWEEET TURBO WHISTLE IN HIGH GEAR !!!!
Those old Cummins motors are good horses, but i am betting they found "block fretting" as the issue! The old manual B models were good motors also, but liked their fuel! If it was me, i would look around and find a N-14, lots of power, and good on fuel!
My 1987 ex hood early model. Had same problem on ac drain. I redone box. With 2 drain hoses. And made alot lower. 10 yrs ago. Never had issues since. And old gay up to 3mil miles
Jpaydirt found out that he should have done the rebuild himself on one of his CATs..hope your shop does you right...good to see you again..enjoy the sun..
I noticed it shaking around more than usual on any truck ive driven too. Hopefully nothing bad, but it is unusual to see. Good luck with what ever engine you go with Ezra, I'm hoping you stick with the old big cam cummins they are a good motor but a cat 3406 would be good too unless you need to spend money on it down the line. I think the ultimate would be a cummins KTA, I drove a couple back in late 90s, great motors but probably not viable now days with fuel prices.
Man EZ... I hate to hear this news about the block. I've been there so I can relate to what you're going through. BUT.... Please change bolt on items around the engine with the rebuild. I had my ISX-15 rebuilt in 2019, everything new except the bolt on items and now with 150k on the rebuild I'm down 4 times in a row replacing crap. Oil pumps x2, EGR cooler, h2O pump, Power steering pump.. Just to name a few things. Trucking ain't easy.. Loving all of your content...
Hey Ezrider I'm curious to know where did you get all your experience. You have a lot of experience and you really know what you're doing. I enjoy your videos. My first PETERBILT was a 1984 359 flat top with a 3406 B and a 13 speed transmission. I also hauled feed, grain, fertilizer and cattle. My 2nd PETERBILT was a 1998 379 short hood I made into a tandem dump truck. I also had pup I pulled with it. You really made that 359 into a sharp truck.
@@THEDC81025 Like I said I’ve ran them both and I love a B model but the Cummins takes me back to where I started in a 78 Freightliner Cabover with a Shiny 290 that would scream, It’s just sentimental to me that that’s what his truck came with but I really don’t blame him a bit, I don’t think I could afford to rebuild a Cat in this day and age but I’m not running the road anymore, I’m just a wore out Chicken Hauler hauling grain on our family farm
I think it would be awesome you put a 3406 in old red, he deserves it for sure. there's nothing like a CAT going down the highway. Love the vid., keep them coming there EZ, until next time, keep it between the lines.
I had to have my 379 Mxs acert done from the pistons sleeves spacer plate and above rebuilt ! that was a 3 1/2 month nightmare! made it 3 trips and had to go in shop for the last 3 weeks in Ocala,Fl had to have the front main seal replaced rear main housing seal done clutch done input yolk and drive shaft u joints replaced. and now I found a hairline crack on the front gear cover to the left side of the oil filler tube that is spitting oil out when I crank the engine over..
As long as no major issues are found with the cat block that's the plan. Cummins had cracks in the counterbores on 4 cylinders and 2 the cracks were all the way into the head bolt holes. Scored liner on #1 was the oil consumption issue.
maybe another motor from a later pete ? im pretty sure ezra you could fabricate a custom drop plate for your hitch ,i know there pretty much peanuts to buy but it will not have your touch,in my experience these awful phases pass giving lead to better days bud so onwards and upwards as we say in the uk.
The main point of how I biult the Hitch is that it's like it's not there when not is use to biuld it under the frame rails would be in the way of the tail lights. And then it would be protruding underneath when not in use. Already got a 8" drop that should be about perfect.
It was going to end up costing as much to biuld the Cummins as a cat with the block issues we found. As long as the cat block is good that's the route were going if not then I'll have to re evaluate the plan
@@Ezrider359 if it's the same price, why not just stick with the Cummins? Cheaper to get parts for and repair in the future than a cat and the motor mounts won't need changing, plus motor matches up to gear lever, is the cat going to the same or will it need adapting? All these possible extra time and costs that could come about. plus you've just put new turbo on it haven't you? Id stick with the Cummins mate👍
Sure wanted to see those rebuild videos but I understand you busy. Are liking driving the old pete. Was thinking of buying old 359 my self and restoring it.
sorry about your string of bad luck but its a good thing you kept the old mack so you can keep the wheels turning and if you can get a good deal on a 3406 b or c that would be a good way to go considering how heavy you haul you need a motor that makes a lot of torque and if set up properly they are very fuel efficient for the amount of power they make
You would of been absolutely fine to flat tow that Toyota pickup any distance as long as you are able to place the transfer case in neutral. I always recommend the people replace the plastic piston cooling nozzles with metal ones. Metal ones are available from the aftermarket and they are much better then the plastic ones that come from cummins.
Toyota says the transfer case won't oil properly. Short distances I'd just leave the engine running and transmission in neutral. Even though it would probably be ok still saves wear to disconnect the driveshaft it's only 4 little bolts
It always sucks to open a unexpected can of worms but at least the shop found the problems early. I have no problems with either option. The old big cams were great but it’s hard to knock a b model cat
Good to see you an ole red again keep safe out there buddy hope your cars truck trouble gets better see you again soon

I always recommend the people replace the plastic piston cooling nozzles with metal ones. Metal ones are available from the aftermarket and they are much better then the plastic ones that come from cummins.
Toyota says the transfer case won't oil properly. Short distances I'd just leave the engine running and transmission in neutral. Even though it would probably be ok still saves wear to disconnect the driveshaft it's only 4 little bolts
It always sucks to open a unexpected can of worms but at least the shop found the problems early. I have no problems with either option. The old big cams were great but it’s hard to knock a b model cat
Ezra it must be the day for condensate drain’s. I had to vacuum mine out at the house it was stopped up👍👍👍
Ezra love your channel brother👍👍👍
Put a cake pan under the dash.. fits well and itll catch all that water until u can fix it...be safe buddy
Great video as always.
are 3408s popular there? that would be sweet as well. nothing wrong with the 3406 of course, really solid motors.
