after buying 3 scania's you should have known that the whole thing is 24 volts :D
😄
hehehe
Are american trucks not running on 24 volts then?
Higher voltage means lower amps, which means less chance of electrical problems due to shorting. My dad has been on and on about how car batteries need to go to this standard as well since time immemorial XD
@@sandercohen5543 Tesla actually upgraded to higher voltage in their latest cars, 16V in most models and 48V in the CT.
That kind of fog is the Scania's natural environment ~ add sideways rain, more black ice than black asphalt, gusts of gale force wind and a few random moose to dodge, and your Scania will feel right at home... 😁👍
😂😂 well your not wrong 😂
perkele 😫
Soo true🤣🤣🤣
I do hope I didn't hear him right when he said about 'polished aluminium round tank'.
NOOOOOOO!
Please Bruce just get a Scania tank to replace the hydraulic tank. Take one of the red one maybe? A round tank holds less fuel than cubed one.
And the round ones will look very weird on a Scania...
Yep, my face changed too when they said round tanks..
Watching this video and shaking my head 🙈😂
Bruce you want to have cool steering wheel, it’s ok but order the proper old school from Go-In-Style from Netherlands ! This imitation looks like shit, it’s not even safe 😂 then you talk about round fuel tanks, oh Lord. You have Swedish truck, build high polished square fuel tanks maybe with a bigger volume but square it’s gonna looks so much better. Keep the spirit of this truck still European that’s what make different from the US trucks.
Putting lipstick on pig you still gonna have a pig 😂
Cheers
Haha mooi man! 😂 love it😂
Could not have said it better myself
Couldnt have said it better👍
aMuricans can’t stand European stuff if not tinkering with it to make it "Murican".
Even being at higher risk won’t change their traditional driven attitude…
ruclips.net/video/LsKSJgDoeIA/видео.html
This!
And did we talked about these wheel nut covers? I mean they are nice if you when you drive a horse-drawn chariot in a Roman colosseum but not on a truck and especially not on a Scania if you want to keep him Scania hehe.
Absolutely with you with the fuel tanks. Would head for a more square one like companys like Ferikas down in Italy producing them or he can go for a custom tank to fit as much space. But yeah definitely no round one…pls
You should do the square tanks. They’ll look a lot better, and as someone else mentioned, you’ll get better range as well
I could not believe that the guy was talking of replacing a modern space efficient square tank with some old round thing that would hold less fuel. I guess old habits die hard and they only know what they know . . .
They want to put round tanks on because they like how they look, Its not that deep…
@@realkilju You dont know what you dont know and can only do what you know . . .
@@TRPGpilot they also changed the steering wheel with uglier ancient looking one that has no airbag. It makes no sense.
@@TRPGpilot Already the LB76 had square tanks. like 60 years ago.
Euclid Trucks is a company that specializes in heavy equipment for earthmoving, particularly dump trucks, loaders, and wheel tractor-scrapers. The company was founded in 1907 and operated in the US from the 1920s to the 1950s. General Motors purchased the company in 1950, and later Hitachi Construction Machinery bought it in 2001.
Volvo start collaborating with Clark and the brands michigan and euclid 1985, and that became VME group.
Is it Euclid, Ohio.
@@kellypitts8481 Yes, it was made by Euclid Trucks from Euclid, Ohio and if Memory serves they were competitor/collaborators with Bucyrus-Erie also out of Ohio.
Euci's were the boss to work on back in the day.......they are as state of the ark as can be, but when other more 'sophisticated' machines were broken down the Euci's were still rolling and when they did breakdown they could be fixed with a crescent and a brick.
Alwats thought terex took over Euclid? Hence the green paint? Case used scania motor's in some of there big tractor range before Cummins. Scania was 1 of 1st big horse power trucks I drove as a young buck hauling silage. I got a video of doing maize silage almost 20yrs ago for local feed lot which is only 1 in New Zealand. G series is the heavy chassis for tipper work or basic heavy haul unit. I had a 143 v8. 14lt series 3 tractor unit with low loader for carting a drill and 16t digger on that when bare back would wind up to 150kph easy and pulled like hell. Twin stacks with the racing exhaust manifolds similar to Marty Mone one just the earlier series for afew year's
15:15 Air tanks are there for a reason Euro trailers are longer infront
quick tip from personal experience, when making a conversion from a conventional bulb to an LED bulb look for ones that say 12/30 volts. the ones that say 24 volts don't last long because when the truck is running it produces almost 30 volts to charge the batteries
Good info!
Agree 12/24 volt bulbs are a waste of money/time
About all LED bulbs we can buy here (Sweden) is 9-32 volt and cover the most cars and trucks
Duel stacks
@@Bruce_Wilsonplease don't put in round fuel tanks. They will look horrendous.
Why get an original looking scania which is extremely rare in the states and instantly make a bollox of it?
Just get 2 new square tanks. They will hold more fuel and look a hell of alot better.
I knew americans dont run fog lighs, but that truck in front of you in South Dakota didnt even have its tail lights on. In that thick fog. Thats just asking for trouble.
Why domyou think that the USA has one of the highest death rates on public roads of any developed country? You have to visit it to see. Stuff that will make your mouth drop. Like towing at night on the highway with no lights on the trailer in New Mexico was just one example
just wach some US dashcam video.. Fog light is totally worthless, coz half of the drivers in US is blind.
@@foxkomaIf half of the drivers are blind, it logically follows that all drivers have depth perception problems from lack of stereovision.
You have to save on electricy where you can, its for the enviroment🤣
They don't even have rear fog lights since it's not required.
Bruce is pulling the entire PR department for "SCANIA USA" 😂 Good work! Hopefully we can start exporting more of our Scania´s to USA 😄 Just imagen then those "American Truckers" get to see the new Scania´s! Like them you test drove in Sweden a month ago! :D
i though that too...and after he replaced the steering wheel..
I rest my case ,not even got it home yet and started to butcher it.
hard to watch.
Then dont watch if it makes you cry. Literally crying everytime he does anything
thats steering wheel change ... if somebady saw in this in the Scania headquarter...after all , they may never want import to US.
@@realkiljuPutting that on a Scania... It's so confusing.
And please, just let us cry, the video is still great.
He can do what ever he wants to do, it his truck.
But we still cry about it as Scania fanboys. 🙂
I'm surprised the other drivers you showed the truck to didn't comment on how much better visibility is in the Scania. No long/wide hood in the way, plus the additional mirrors.
They were just speechless 😂
Though Scania do do a bull nose ...though not that popular in the UK ...
Hey Bruce this is Sam enjoyed talking with you at Joplin thanks for stopping by
It being one of the few trucks like it in the States I feel it should be left close to stock in appearance. An exhaust upgrade or modifications out of sight could still be considered.
i don't know about how feasible idea this is but could we have in the future (if your enthusiasm suffice) a video about old nosed scanias vs american ones of the same time period like scania 110, 111 or 142H and comparing of them. Remember there are 1000hp Scania V8 with warranty in CV90 Swedish tank and 1200hp in marine applications so little tuning won't hurt it and if you want to compare what it's truly capable there is 2200hp Scania Chimera somewhere there in the wild. Respect and thumbs up from Finland 🇫🇮 👍
The best sounding Scanias are those straight 8 engine ones from the 50's, there you can talk about a long nose... 😋
Ei kannata virittää, ei scania tahdo kestää muutenkaa.
I’ve always wanted to drive a Scania truck since we went to Germany to visit our son.
I love those trucks
I’ve been driving for 16 years
It's pronounced Euklid. Quick story. I worked at a TA in Brookville PA. Saw my first Scania it was a conventional hood and fell in love with the sound of the V8!! Love the fact you're bringing them back to the front of people's minds!! Great job Bruce!!
Take a look at the uk/Irish diesel tanks, square for maximum capacity, often built around air tanks/battery boxes etc. You can even run a split tank on the hydraulic side, you could probably double your diesel capacity and keep the hydraulics.
Exactly! Why replace with a round thing? On a modern truck? No wonder their trucks look old.
Us trucks have round tanks cause they can, more room on the frame to mount stuff
It's interesting to see American truckers react to a Scania! Scania are everywhere here in the UK. Great video!
First he buys European truck more advanced than American ones and started going back to make it lame American one..
Who needs an airbag... 😉
@@leszekk.73 Say that after you have an accident and you die because of no airbag.
Oh wait. 😉
@@leszekk.73 Removing explosives from the truck makes it more American? 😕
Calm down son
Here we go immediately start talking of cutting off the square tanks and what else Bruce the chassis then single drive to do burnouts. The reason for Square tanks is more fuel longer distance. Leave it alone in original condition.
This 4 series steering wheel is one of the most comfortable steering wheels on European trucks
That mining truck you were looking at, it's actually made near my town where I live. They're manufactured in Euclid Ohio. Judging by the look of it, I think it might be around the late 50s early 60s era
That 4states store is awesome! Cool to see that dude again. Glad to see that he’s starting up another trick my truck
Those round fuel tanks you talked about are most likely LNG tanks. The newer SCANIA’s have the option to run on natural gas. I recommend getting a bigger square tank (like the one you have now) if you want more range.
Is goin wit round longated tanks to give it the American truck style
Round tank is about 3/4 of square tank volume
@@greenwoodgreenwood2387 Why would you want 'american style' on a modern 25 year European truck? It's superior for a reason.
Here in the Netherlands it a thing putting a white steering wheel in Scania trucks. Its the old skool look
Old school American trucks also get the white wheel treatment often. I think the gigantic white steering wheel was just standard equipment back in the day 🤣
😂😂😂😂I've got an ambulance on standby!!
Love that dude!!
I'm going to keep this one stock for 5 minutes. :D
On scanias you can switch off the top spot lights and just turn on the bottom spot lights on high beam for fog.
The 2 inside lights in the bumper are high beam fog lights next to the low beam fog lights.
But with after market top spot lights it might not work that way.
The switches to toggle between top and bottom spot lights should be below the switch to turn on the lights.
4state trucks is just good people love that you gave them a piece of this Scania Journey seeing how hard those boys work. Road trips like this are so fun to watch
Hi Bruce all European trucks are 24v 👍🏻🇬🇧
Put stacks on it and lights on the bull bar. Take a look at Klintra BV transport Scanias for ideas.
Bruce thanks again for letting me check out Scania and for you and your brother taking the time to talk with me. I’d love to stop by your shop and see the rest of your toys.
Riding Across Morocco West Africa on my motorcycle. Scania seems the most popular Truck here in tractor 4x2.
i Hope there will be more Trucker reactions in the future I love seeing those !
please please do NOT DESTROY THIS SCANIA
Agree, why put money on a Scania if not like it to be a Scania.
👍😊 Great semi truck scania
I follow you from sweden 🇸🇪
Lets go🤩 i want to see this thing pull some weight🥳🥳
2:28 Euclid (yoo-klid) is not a weird name, it is the name of the ancient Grecian mathematician who gave us geometry.
Bruce You need to come to sweden for Skåne Truck Show in september 6 to 7.
I don’t get it… you buy a Scania (3) then immediately want to ‘make it more American’ by changing the fuel & HYD tanks. It looks great the way it is.
Shout out from North Dakota!!! Always love seeing people come to our state.
My dad drove big Euclids mine off road haul trucks back in the early 70's, much larger than this one, over 100 ton capacity if i remember correctly, i was in grade 3 or 4 back then. I did find a brass tag award with an embossed mine truck one day exploring and gave it to my dad, i guess it was a safety award or something. He liked it.
The scania is called a 3 pedal opticruise over ere in the uk-take a bit of getting use to over a 2 pedal( normally stall it when coming to a stop.
I only wish that I could have been there for Bruce to video my reaction to the Scania! 🤠
For sure in the late 80's the most revolutionary European truck was the first Mack /Renault magnum series designed by Giugiaro. The Scania's 4 series was also revolutionary for his time, but it cames later, and also the first globetrotters from volvo in the 80's were also ahead for his time. There is not only scania. 😊
That's like my 2002 Pete. It's called an Auto-shift. I loved mine and with the arthritis in my right hand, it sure was a pleasure to drive. Did my last 3ooK miles before I retired in it.
I’m a die hard 379 fan/owner but I would most definitely try out a Scania
I can't wait for you to get done with "souping" up these Scanias only to get a newer, now new, but to get more original but I guess "souped" to fit what a European actual truckdriver would want. Then show it at places for American truckdrivers to try out and give their opinion compared to their daily. That would be ideal for us Euros to to hear and see. LOVE the series though, big ups.
*edit, and to prepare questions for the American truckdrivers to ansewer. That would be ideal. Thanks.
I really wish you'd put up a map so we could all see your travles across the US.
I'm kind of rusty in US states geography.. 😅
Google maps
I think they mean they want a map of this guy's routes so they can see where all he has been. Doubt Google maps has a record of it
-Bruce ,Ohh look a Belarus tractor i think they are made in russia.
No bruce they are made in Belarus 😅😅
Hell idk lol
Maybe that one was actually made in the Soviet Union?!
Yeah, it's literally the name of the country where it's made. It's like "Look there's a tractor called Canada, I believe it's made in the US." 😀
Anyway, Belarus is very close to Russia, both geographically and culturally, so Bruce wasn't that far off really.
I’m down in Mexico visiting and took a bus trip to the coast on our way back we blew an inner rear tire. Way up in the mountains middle of nowhere I was able to help get the tire changed out and back to town. I can attest to the engineering of scania and the hydraulic braking is crazy good! Force you out of your seat good. A+ ratings from me.
I guess it’s called a retarder instead of a Jake brake but I’m very impressed with the way it works.
Maybe you can explain why Scanias sometimes has 4 different exhaust pipes? Two on the back of the cab, and two grass-burners sticking out both sides of the fairings. The craziest part is how the grass-burners are the ones that blow the smoke, while the stacks don't blow anything, at least in the videos that I've seen!
Hello from Germany, great Channel !
should 3d print a scania vabis logo for the 3 piece that would be sick
Hey Bruce, I think it's about time that you find a Scania with a nose. That has to make your collection complete as fleet owner😏
Really like that dude, guess he's the boss of 4 state trucks? Dude is awesome!
Met "The Boss" passing through. Fun to chat with him in person - good dude.
Was great to see you again Bruce and we hope you enjoy that new steering wheel.
Hey Bruce, a lot of fun things to make you go completely nuts in a Scania. Good luck and have fun. Greeting from The Netherlands as a fellow truck driver..
Wich of all your trucks is the strongest?
- tratter taxi
- Brutus
- business expense
- white Scania
- convertible Scania
- black Scania?
Would like to know!
Good on ya bruce. Best of luck with your new scania 😎💪
Bruce, if you turn the key on the speedometer, it is locked and indicates the good speed
The one thing I've learned about getting an alignment on a big truck is to always make sure they align the steering wheel, too! I wouldn't know if that would also apply on a Euro Truck, too, or not, especially since their trucks are so much more advanced. I wouldn't be surprised if their steering wheel aligns automatically once the axle is aligned, lol! No, but seriously, though. I've never gotten an alignment that did the job perfect, even with getting the steering wheel aligned, too. The truck always still pulls to one side even after the alignment! I don't even think I've ever driven a truck that didn't pull, and that's even after doing the king pins, etc etc.
Awesome guys
I used to visit my great grandparents in Velva every year and I remember driving by that old mining tractor. Been there forever
you must have bulbs that support up to 36v
as scania charges up to 28v
Why dont you go to Mexico and get a Scania parts from the Scania truck dealerships? They sell new scanias there too
The problem is that you aren't allowed to bring newer Scanias into the US. But I would love to see a trip down to Mexico for sure
@@hnorrstrom i do know that but you can still bring parts
Hope you guys enjoying the Scania experience 👍🤟
Thats crazy, those steering wheels you showed off, SCI ones, they are in American Truck Simulator, they made a deal with them some years ago and we just got new wheels from them, that Retro one and some of the others, so cool to see them in the video, they look exactly the same in the game! :D
Looked large comming thrue Dudley Missouri today couldn’t get my phone out fast enough to get a video of ya love it man
As a Swedish trucker I absolutly love your love for our Pride in the truck industri
I love these trucks .... I've been watching all these European cabovers...I don't know why we can't have them over here
Because the domestic trucks cant compete. Even the Volvos and other Euro owned trucks made there are years behind what's available in most other parts of the world.
As a swede and native to the region of Scania I find this hilarious :D
I was in Joplin yesterday passing by and seen your truck sitting out front loud and proud. I wished I would have known that was you in town. I would have stopped in.
Euclid made a lot of off-highway trucks and mining equipment.
NEITHER. LEAVE ONE STOCK!!!
Im dutch and Go In Style is so big nearly every modified truck in the netherlands has a mudflap of that company
Bruce you should by a diverter valve so you can have stacks and sidepipe
im pretty sure the scania steering wheel had an airbag in it. "safety first" i guess.
Hi Bruce, you should be on the hunt for a Scania T cab.
They’re ugly af, worst looking trucks ever made lol
If you need Scania parts ever I'd try hitting up Winmill equipment in Windham NH there service there this beyond great compared to anyone but I I've never dealt with them with Scania but they are the oldest International Dresser dealer which is pretty cool in itself
We’re about an hour from 4 states… planned to get up there brother! But didn’t! Glad to see the trip went safe!👊
3 spoke steering wheel bruce is officially a dutch spec scania guy lol its addictive
Stack exhausts are very popular, Single stack on the smaller straight engines , twins on V8s they sound sweet .. fuel trucks have a exhaust under the front bumper,
Pozdrowienia dla Marka z Warszawy ;-)
Pronounced youk-lid. Some were produced in Toccoa, GA.
When I was driving I was working on getting me a long nose Peterbilt but it never happened cause I had to retire from trucking and boy do I miss it my dream truck was a show truck
Uhhh🤩, in that store there is all the chrome that anyone could want🤤
Saya ikut terharu ketika bapak pemilik toko menerima hadiah yang mungkin tak pernah terbayangkan sebelumnya.
Sehat selalu om,salam dari truk mania Indonesia
we have huge oshkosh snow removal equipment at the airport i work at, and the newest ones have scania diesel engines, straight 6 and our snow blower has a v8 660hp scania that drives just the blower, theyre interesting engines, quite smooth and pretty powerfull
The Euclid company started in 1909. They build stuff just like what you found. They are still in operation, just under a different name.
Yeah Euclid became terex
@@NixonInDaGhettoEuclid became Hitachi In 01 if I'm not wrong?
Greetings to Mr. Marek, whom I met at the station, I also come from Poland, it's very nice to meet someone in the USA from my country. Bruce, I watch all your RUclips content related to the European Scania truck, leave at least one original Scania in the USA and they will reward you with a showcase for your channel. Greetings from Poland :)
you should get in touch with deboss garage and make a trip to Canada to meet him.
Wish I was around you were in Velva, ND
The vendetta stacks are like whats on my V8 but yeah the stacks go to the chassis not cab i perfer stacks side pipes are always in the way
It also looks like army green in the cab Craig New Zealand
Add a job box headache rack either powder coated black or polished aluminum and add stacks to each side of the headache rack.
I dont understand the concept of Americanising this truck, It would make more sense to keep it standard European to show and highlight the difference. Back in the day lots of British operated trucks from both Scania and Volvo were 'Americanised' by false Kenworth style radiator Grills, stack exhaust pipes and extended sleepers. To their owners they may have looked better, but the majority of us ordinary drivers saw them as mongrels ! I personally think if you went ahead with tarting this old girl up, you would spoil the European experience for American drivers, many who would then think it always looked like that . Keep it original Bruce, it would be more appealing in its proper design.....plus Square tanks are good, round tanks hold less!
IKR?
I used to go to Velva every weekend and see that truck and really upset I missed you guys
