The first job for me, would be oil them door hinges or stop opening and closing the door.😀
I've come up with a new name for Kenny, call him Squeaky. Those door hinges could sure use some lubrication. But as you said, it's getting there, slowly but surely.
i can hear the grease pinch in the hinge.... :) give that door some lube
I agree with that door WD-40 it it doesn't even bother him that would drive me crazy
Looking good Mike ! Enjoy every step, every minute.
Mike the truck looks 100% better than when you started, question would one of your shop mechanics be willing to come out and show you how to change injectors? and if I remember correctly mirror heat should be it's own switch...long time ago, hang in there, remember You have a piece of history on your hands.....Take care............see ya
MAn i Love watching the work that is going into this old beauty
You need to oil the doors. Keep up the great videos love them all
When you're digging through the dash looking for wires that's called Dash fishing LOL
As TwinStick says and named his blue Peterbilt "Little by Little". It will take some time, wish I could find a project. Keep up the good work.
Okay I finished the popcorn and watched you struggle with that old dashboard. My first advice is to get some rolling steps so that if you are standing on the edge of that doorway, you can step back onto the rolling step ramp as it shouldn't just be a step wide but more of a flat place say eighteen inches wide by maybe two and a half feet long and then have two or more like as about four of them was it me. Now you have a flat spot to work from or be somewhat safer anyway. At our ages, we just don't heal as fast and believe it or not... more deaths from falling are from six feet or less. I think that takes in for guys like me who walk into stuff and knock our brain into tomorrow before you see one white line. Second thing is just for my ocd. Get a master turn off for the batteries in the cab with you if you can as its the pits crawling in and out a half dozen times... don't ask me how I know. I pulled wrenches most all my life and for the life of me, tore more stuff up for not turning off the power when behind the dash. I can't remember if Pete used the paper tags on the wiring or the metal tags with no., on them..... wire seventeen.. where does it go... go find the main panel under the hood on a conventional but for cabovers you know way more than me as I just avoided them as much as possible. I owned a Pete like that one for a while and my brother Larry loved that truck so when he come by for a brewski... I handed him the title and he said that he would name his next kid after me... I got him back by saying that one of his was actually mine and that was enough and that almost turned into a black eye before I told him I was joking. Okay on most of that wiring, Its going to be broken wires and I hope that you solder that wiring and use heat shrink on them as that is just as good a wiring as a new loom if you count in the costs of doing that and they are generic so one fits all. The heavy round wire that came down and was cut off looks like the mirror heat wires... on them I used to track them down and add three more in with it so you could do the remote turning as well. I know, just reach out and adjust it right.. from the drivers side and its the passenger mirror so if you can reach it then ok then. But your knuckles drag the ground standing up. I have never had too many gauges or lights yet. Except down in Arizona, a cop arrested me and gave me a park it and fix it ticket and that ticket was over a thousand dollars. I had a whole string out on one side as the snow broke my wiring an turned off sixty some lights (those decorative ones) and I seriously considered running only the ones necessary for legal. I also got jacked because of the lights shining through the wheels as they turn. What a dick head... I was twenty seven.... just married and had one of the prettiest long nose KW's (1693) oh that kitty would run with all of them. I was in a truck stop listening to another trucker talk doo do and I asked him would he care to run... I told him he could leave his trailer parked and I will go loaded and we go to the top of some hill near there. He laughed at me and for a minute I thought maybe I bit off more than I could chew. He then pointed out the window at his rig and I just smiled as he said "I'll let you off on this one" so I told him that I really needed to be taught a lesson an lets just do it for a cheap bet. He smiles back and said okay and is a hundred okay?? I said well let me look.... ya I can cover that and still get fuel but lets go all out for five hundred. He was in the bite of the line now as others were listening. I said pick someone to ride with you that ain't afraid to go. About that time a cute waitress said to me.. I live that direction and need a ride home tonight so let me off when you guys turn around..... boy howdy was she a looker. I told her yes but I am married so its only a ride. She smiled an said I see your rock on your finger so I figure I am safer with you than the guys trying to get in my underwear. So off we go... he was ahead about a truck length for a while but I was toying with him and when I seen the smoke roll out his stacks, I told her to hang on and I started grabbing full gears! I passed him like he was on jack stands. His face was white and angry but also confused. I came back with her still in the truck and she was picking up her other gear to go home with and she said real loud, How come you never put it in the higher gears... we could of went a lot faster. That guy never had the full five hundred but I told him close enough and handed the money to that waitress. He asked me just how much power do you have? I told him.... More than those number twenty u-joints will take. More than once when I was getting the hang of that much power, I ripped the teeth off of the rear ends and I ran the forty eights
First comment! Love that KW! Seeing you do these things makes me want to find a KW like that and start building it back to road worthy.
Me too but I live in Ireland and the chances of finding one are slim I would have a better chance of finding a unicorn or an honest politician 😂
😂
@@martinstewart5205 lmao finding a unicorn is an easier prospect!🤣🤣🤣
@@martinstewart5205 I notice you didn't say anything about a leprechaun, I guess you either have or are one.🤣🤣🤣
But then you were awakened & realized you were dreaming 😎
Happy 4th greetings from the Porters. 🇺🇸 Slow N Steady will get R done! Every time you moved the door I kept waiting to the the voice of Vincent Price. 😳 I always hated a rattling dash…sounds like a bucket of bolts going down the road. Making progress! Hey, as much as your guys work on trucks, I’m sure that seeing a cabover drive in would be uplifting for them. I would see it that way…a piece of good KW history! 🥰
I do that too with a ratchet and torx bits or something. I have an extra 1/4" 12 point socket. Itll work for all my screwdriver bits. Super handy to have.
Talking about falling out the door, One time I was in the cab working on a GMC Astro in the shop; I was getting out and missed the first step and fell all the way to the floor. I thought I broke my ankle, but it was just sprained.
Hey MIke, I paused this because I remembered that you love looking at trucks and I mean all trucks. A fellow named Matt, who has a channel named Diesel Creek is building back a 57 Autocar.... all the sudden drawing a big mental break in my brain as I dearly love his channel. Hard little worker and has his hands on some equipment that he rescue's and does a fine job of making them run again.. He still has a ways to go but he is youngish.... thirties.. young to me as I am 73. He is looking for a donor cab as he doesn't realize how good his really is considering that trucks age. He got the truck he has with intentions of fixing to use (many reasons) and found the transmission is bad so is going to rebuild it... I am sure that he is capable as well. You and twin sticks get around the country and see a lot of stuff and I would appreciate if you got in touch with him... Mention my name for my ego maybe. I'm going to watch this video and see what you are up against.... with these words from the repair manual...: Grounds grounds grounds... the first three words of those manuals is about how important they are... okay pass the popcorn.. video time
I will check him out for sure.
Very nice. Love the KW. Can’t wait to see it when you stretch the frame and make it ride better. Love the old 8 bag system for it but whatever you find will be good. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride.
Ole kenny has alot of potential. It will be a nice truck. It just needs a few feet more wheelbase because if you dont the suspension/wheelbase combo is gonna beat you to death going down bumpy roads but im sure you already know that from driving it out in the country. The old boy is coming along slowly but surely
Looking good Mike. Your middle dash is in good shape. Mine are all busted up. Keep on going brother doesn’t have to be perfect all at once. Just think of all the great videos you’re going to make just from this one truck. Love it
The first part of any project should be just inspecting everything and writing a list of every major and minor thing that needs fixing or addressing. Then start working and crossing things off the list. Of course, the list will get a lot longer before it gets any shorter 🤣
I'm willing to bet that most of the door sill corrosion is due to snow/salt covered boots. Hard not to drag a lot of crap into the cab during the winter. And if was a company truck with unassigned driver, it probably didn't get cleaned/flushed out much. The misaligned driver's door is probably because an over weight (?) driver was putting a lot of stress on it getting in/out of the cab. When I owned my 72 Pete 352, I weighed 265, so I know what it takes to get in/out of a COE. Keep at it!
Dude, Lube that hinge !!!!!!
Kenny's coming along but like any project truck some parts take time to repair and finding missing bolts or screws is just part of it. You really need to lube the hinges stay safe Mike.
good video Mike love that old cabover thanks for sharing have a great weekend take care
With any aged electrical system, always start with the ground side. So many issues go away with renewed proper grounding. Crimped and soldered lugs on good #4 welding cable for all secondary grounds. Ditto on the big primary grounds, just with bigger 6 volt rated starter cable. Will make all future electrical work go so much smoother :-)
You are doing the things that the owner or drive could never take the time to do. Had to run down the road, not tinker with loose stuff. It all added up to putting Kenny to sleep, rather than spend a week or two chasing all the gremlins ...
you take your Time Mike there's no rush trying to get kenny fixed up...you just do what you can do for now
Also don't forget it's a project it's an old truck it's going to take some time at least you got something to work on when you get bored just remember that do piece by piece don't get overwhelmed
Changed injectors on a 37 year old IH 3 cylinder diesel, yes a farm tractor engine, and the difference is night & day. Eliminated smoke & starts @ touch of the key. Was always a cold start issue, no longer.
Nice Pete! Unfortunatly there are no trucks like this here in Brasil. Good luck !!!
Love the truck! Cab over hands down all day long! I would love to do a restoration myself just need a good skeleton👍🏻
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos. I Love The Cabovers Too
What a difference with the Netherlands where it is only 15 degrees Celsius, great video, keep it up and stay safe!
Sadly alot of fires have poped up in the last few days. One burnt a small town to the ground that's 5.5hrs south of here.
@@mikethetrucknutoh boy that's bad, what was the temperature out there?, I've heard that you guys have had temperatures up to 48°C is that right?
@@truckingwithwim8039 yep that's right it's set a whole bunch of records.
@@mikethetrucknut I believe that, with that kind of temperature, stay safe and have a good day!
As long as you make progress it don't matter what you fix as long as it gets done an get 1 of the guys from work to do a week end job for you with the motor work at home
👍😉. Looks better all time. I think you gets it. Gots be metal fabricators can make some stuffs you need can’t not find.
try a mixture of baking soda and vinegar where all that corrosion is to neutralize it all first
Wondering if that will work on rust.? Im Curious to find out.
@@ED-ti5tc worth a try lol
"Tickety boo", I've learned a new phrase!
Going to rip out the carpet and work on the dash, end up working on the door... sounds familiar, I call it "project drift".
Definitely get the mechanical issues worked out before interior and body work!
I think clearance lights on the "second story" of an Aerodyne look boss. If you are thinking about them as a future addition, run the wiring before you install the interior.
I still say don't make it just another BJ & the Bear knock off, do something different. Don't be a follower, be a leader. ;-)
Really enjoying your channel and seeing you put Kenny into a much better state of affairs.
Maybe I should do something similar to the darker red one I shared a picture of. The more time goes on the more I start to think maybe you're right.
@@mikethetrucknut Me thinks the injectors are a professional job and I’m sure the dealership has a well qualified mechanic that would love to do it. I think with the old style paint jobs you could really do something very slick other than a BJ and the Bear design but that’s up to you.
Please invest in a nice oil can with a squirter thingy and use it liberally when you notice something squeaky going on so that the readers can keep their sanity
In western sibiria is the same extrimal hot wether! +41 today.
As trucks get older they suffer from more and more "that'll do" repairs because they're being parked against the wall soon. The aim is to keep it on the road earning money no matter how it looks. You have chosen to reverse that process on Kenny and I laud you for it, but you'll need plenty of patience, funds, and determination. Hope you're ok in these wildfires.
LOL it’s a KW I have driven lots over the years the doors never open and close properly even when new it is one of the things I hate with KW. As for the corrosion and it’s not uncommon on the cab over. It is years of salt spray from the front wheel and stainless and aluminum together. My truck did the same thing not as bad perhaps Mike. Good luck.
Get you a screwdriver torx bit socket find every bolt every screw every nut and tighten everything in the dash you'll be surprised how it tightens everything up and it quietens it up too
Mike give a few kenworth dealerships a call...im sure they would love putting the injectors in....IF they can find the time
Coming along and the nice thing about a project is you can take your time. Also as stated elsewhere in the comments a little lube on the door will keep me from gritting my teeth so much. Thanks.
Hey, please give us a good walk around of the little red corvette ??????
Kenny is looking good.
check out my other channel Mikes Garage, i did a video on it last winter.
Double bunk kenworths breaks under dash I had two both broke under dash can fix them with a little work good luck I truck for 55 years from michigan
Don't give up.
We all have a plan on what we want to our project untill we actually start it then it goes sideways lol
11:07 "bit off more than you can chew"? You better not quit on us Mike!...... you owe us a finished B.J Mckay K100 so, if you can't handle the heat then stay out of the oven! lol
You are 100% correct, LOL good thing it's cooled off today
Lube the door hinge!
You will need a dial indicator to set injectors.
It’s easy if you know what you’re doing, it’s stressful if you don’t.
Waiting for next part 🔥
Did you find the other 3 injectors yet?..if they are cheaper in the u.s.have them shipped to you and you can find a mechanic to install or help you install them...thoes older trucks are a project. The longer they sit. The more things wear out. Animals move in and destroy the wires and interior...you.could find another Kenny thats been restored with everything working but it would cost between 45 and$ 65,000 u.s.
Show us the ol corvette looks nice
Door frames are a huge part if the cab structure replacing one would not be a job I would want to do lol clean the corrosion out re adjust the hinges get a new sill plate and let her ride I say like you say she’s not gonna be a show truck
Keep the doors squeaky, it adds character to Kenny!
If it was me and I know I do not know enough to work on engine or replace ejectors other than basic tune ups And I know I do not have the time because of family I would take it to work one day and have them replace the ejectors and I would also have them work on the engine and that kind of stuff because if they find another problem or something worse like replace the engine they will be able to do it and make sure it is right the first time Kenny looks great I am sure the dash is not going anywhere and I love using longer bolts and screws when I want to make sure it is not going anywhere and that if the hole is strip or something you can add a lock washer and nut on it as well
You can look it on RUclips how to do it and also record it with your recording device and then you can play it back to put it back together
Did you know that Kenworth Australia is still making the Kenworth aerodyne cab over
Also 30 degrees Celsius is a normal Tuesday morning here in Australia
I would be very surprised if any experienced long term diesel mecahnics WOULDN'T want to tinker with it. Modern stuff is good, but nothing like the simplicity and elecgance of mechanical.
That door sounds like an old creepy Barn Door
Again check out 'Ezrider 359' video's of doing the over head/injectors on a cummins with 'jake' brakes ,IF you are going to drive 'Kenny' to a shop change the engine oil first , from the look of the engine oil dipstick you have at least a gallon of diesel mixed with the engine oil already ...... OIL the door hinges !!!!! , as for the corrosion in the bottom door frame , remove all the 'powder' get some alloy metal filler ,mix apply rub down and paint , get new stainless covers rivet on , sorted . as for dash screws up-grade to stainless cheese head Allen bolts ,from the looks max 10mm of thread should be sufficient - nothing worse than winding in an inch/25mm of thread to tighten a cover down . As for replacing a blown dash bulb - do get me started !
Im not sure about changing the door frame out but please for the Love of God spray that door with some WD40...that squeak is driving me crazy....
kenworth still sell the dash screws with rubber inserts lol loose dash i drove a 2000 kw t904 (Australia) the dash and windscreen moves the owner (my old boss) had got brand new Kenworth inner cab dash frame to fix the dash and windscreen movements also he replaced the chassis rails on the truck too back to Kenny he needs new hinges door frame just needs to be welded up holes and all the truck i drive now needs a new door bloody aluminum cracks on the pressed seams on the exterior and doors aint cheap 3 rand Plus though i now where there is a heap of KW T609s stripped would fit the KW t404s
As someone who has fallen out of a caboveri have two bits of advice 1. Be parked on grass and B. Be drunk lol
LOL 😂
Hey Mike put some WD-40 on that door that would drive me bonkers it actually already did just watching it open close open close screech screech LOL seriously lube it up
Stay the course and go with the Bj&B truck. That’s your dream, not a rat rods. 🙂
Door hinge has a lot wear on it .
The sound that the door makes remind me of Michael jackson thriller song😃.let me hear some more.
LOL
Your works engineers might jump at the chance of working on a classic truck. I should imagine they're truck enthusiasts and it will be a welcome change from working on the same truck engines every day. You could make the engineer, Employee of the month to sweeten the deal lol.
They are rare..the k-100- E
Lubricate that hinge and the door will work better!
if i was one of the guys in your work shop i might feel slighted about the comments..e.g. 'begrudgingly wanting to do it'..and..'if they would want to do it'..if they are getting paid then they would want to do it right just like any other customer....
You might as well do the overhead when you do the injectors. Save a trip back in the motor
Can u show us ur corvette 😍
Little lube on the hinge. It doesn’t say much about your work that you have that much concern about one of them working on it ,if your are a mechanic it doesn’t matter new truck or old. Or it’s just me thinking.
Cabov top💪➕➕💯🆗ecelent
I'm sure you can do the injectors man. But beware it could be opening a jar of worms. Set the valves, maybe check push rods out. Who knows what's hiding under the valve covers
Hi
Any plans to stretch and update the drive axels and suspension?
Yeah but it's on the back burner for now
@@mikethetrucknut nice Kenny is rather short!
What's up
Hi y’all from west Alabama peace and love
Ty mike
Lube the hinges please!,,
WD 40 on the piano hinge...please
You work for peterbuilt and restoring a kenworth the competitor how is that working out ?
Oh fine. Most parts I can get here and I used to have a KW so I know how to work on them. Not the toughest cabover but the Aerodynes look the coolest
Stay clear of the fires.
Put some lube on that door hinge lol
It's going to take to much,cut your losses 📉 and try to find a better truck 🚚 😉 👍 👌.
Pour some vinegar on the sill
one little job at a time
Damn man, please put some oil on the door
Door hinge wore out.
Lubricate it.
just let someone that welds look at the door frame, that's a pretty easy fix.
First and foremost, lubricate those door hinges!
OIL THE DOOR HINGE...!
Spray the God dam. Door hinge with pb blaster!!!!!!!!!
put some oil on the hinge
leave the bodywork for the pros
Oil the hinge
Tackle it yourself!!! PS Please oil that hinge!!!
OMG, oil that squeaky door hinge, that is so annoying.
How about some wd40 on the door hinge
when all else fails just use a wood chisel
