- In this episode we use the White 4000 Detroit Diesel powered truck to move some semi trailers around our property. I explain how I got the truck and what we did to it. We then start it up and drive down the back to move the trailers. #diesel #detroit #detroitdiesel #truck #semitruck #tractor #restoration #truckdriver #4k #4kvideo #viralvideo

Wow! That's a beautiful ol' girl!! Good to see her get a bit of sunlight!!
Thanks mate. She hasn’t seen the sun since October really
That's an angry old weapon . I spotted a road boss last week for the first time in decades
Thank you mate. Yes they are getting less and less of them around
Yea its the same way over here and getting to more of the new stuff with sencers and computer chips witch is causing a lot of issuies the old stuff just worked till it neede to be rebuilt now no one knows how to work on the senscers lol keep the vids coming love them 😊
Steve, these Detriot Diesel 2 strokes sound fantastc! Love the White!
That a good old truck
Thank you Jeron
That white looks like a show truck. I love old trucks glad you share your trucks. From Indiana us .
Hi Mark. It’s been to a lot of shows mate and Actually made the front cover of a historical truck magazine here in Australia. I was very proud of it considering it was done on a very tight budget and was a complete wreck to start with. All the best from Sydney
Gday Steve, it might be under powered but it’s got the old school style, it’ll be good once the hard stand is done and all the gear lined up , great episode mate, cheers
Hi mate. Yes it’s how they were in those days. She goes alright for an empty club run or something like that but for longer distance retrieval missions she’s a bit much
671 for life
Yes mate indeed
Hey Steve went back took your advice wanted to hear that two-stroke you were talking about wow can honestly say never knew something like that existed the smile that put on your dad's face and yours was worth the trip to go back and look truly enjoy your channel thanks taking the time to share with us all
Hi mate thanks for watching. I’m glad you went back and had a look. They are fairly unique and a lot of people have never heard of them. It’s my pleasure sharing it mate thanks
G'day Steve,
Cool vid ,
The rig sounds really nice , and she's not a bad looker either .
Enjoy your channel ,
would be great to see you go full time ,im sure you'd do well showing all the old kit you have hidden in the mulga.
Thanks for bringing it .
Respect....!
Gday Craig. Thank you mate. It is a nice truck yes and drives great. I’d love to go full time but the harder we try the further away that goal seems, but we will keep trying mate for people like you that comment and appreciate us. I’ve got loads of great stuff to share but can’t really unless that happens. Saturday just isn’t long enough. All the best mate
Another great post Steve, nice to see the Screamin' Demon back in action.
Hi Jon thanks as always mate
Cool Looking and Driving White 4000 Semi Truck.. alot of power to tow the trailer..
Thank you Billy 🙏🙏
Love the growl of the old girl Steve. What a ripper of a rebuild cobber. Beautiful to see. All the best from over here in the west as usual mate.🤠
Hi Daryl thank you mate. I’m happy with it. Hope all is well over there
Yep all good here cobber.🤠@@stevesplacedownunder
My Mrs reckons she'd rather stick pins in her eyes than listen to a screaming Jimmy. It's tough to get the perfect Mrs 😊
It’s absolutely magnificent for a while, then gets a bit much. Not for everyone I guess mate
yep nice semi
Thank you 🙏
Sorry to say I am out of liquid treats here Steve ! In there sprit of Australia , I do have some Arnott's shapes bisquits, the ones that are in the shape of Australia with vegemite and cheese . That old White is a jewell mate , you just dont see them anymore . You gave us another cross property ride along . Thanks 🌵
Hi Scott. That’s no good about the cool treats but those biscuits are great. Have you tried much other Australian foods? Thanks for watching as always
@@stevesplacedownunder I try what I can get . At world market here we can find assorted arnotts biscuits and other treats . I do like some vegemite on toast with butter , or on a eggo waffle . As far a beer goes I have never seen the brands you drink here , Our sprits supermarket we have has some Aussie brands on occasion . We have Fosters , even in grocery stores but it is brewed in Texas 🤠
@zonie70 let me know if there’s anything you want to try. We may be able to send it
Love the sound of that Ole gal rolling coal shifting gears and having an awesome adventure !!! Awesome morning brother sister and family !!! Another awesome adventure as always brother
Hi Robert. Thanks for watching brother and have a great week. Always a pleasure
When i was a young guy my now brother in law and i when going somewhere would measure the time to travel by how many stubbies we would drink to get there now and even then its a no no cheers Steve Phil 😂 lol
Hi Phil, yes mate it’s just how we do things over here isn’t it😂😂😂. Cheers mate
He traded it in for a white 4000 I think tomsoms wauhope because coming off nowendoc mountain was hard on diffs backlash I believe Mack’s had probs as well however the new white 4000 had a 250 Cummins with 10speed roadranger and spicer 4 speed aux 44rockwell diffs set him up for life best truck he had ever owned however still not quite as powerful as betts 237 Mack’s although not much in it the Cummins was brilliant under jake brakes Mack’s not so good than he brought a custom toque kit from Cummins took it to 270hp and I think 840 lbft no comparison the white was 50 mins quicker on round trip than the mack 237 he logged with that truck for 8 years with hardly any probs apart form reracing diffs and gearbox’s and brakes you no the deal keep up the great vids I love ‘em and a beer or 6 👍🍻
Great to see them cold ones going down on a Sunday afternoon here in the states, Chicago Illinois area ❤
Hi Steve, they certainly were lovely and cold. Thanks for watching from over there. Only ever been as far as Hawaii. Would love to come all the way and meet some people
Hey Steve, hello from Qld, I,m Bruce in Aus's nephew, I reckon the old white needs a 892 GM power pack!
Hi mate thanks for watching. Bruce is going great guns, I don’t know how he does it. If I could afford an 892 it would be in there, but it’s only a lighter gvm truck so maybe a bit light for that much power
Thank you mate. Yes I didn’t get to many ideas from the American channels but they were the reason I started because I was watching them and thought I should do it to because I have all this stuff. The SAME video took of but didn’t really rocket me into growing rapidly because in those days I didn’t have any equipment and I was shaking without the gimbal I have now. But anyway mate I’m certainly not complaining, people just haven’t found me yet I guess. I’ve had John and Bruce on the phone, both great blokes and I think the conversation went for near 3 hours 😂😂. John was very helpful but here at my place we aren’t really computer buffs and that does help. I hope to one day get up and do something with him as we did speak about it. He gave me a shoutout a while back, and I did get a few subs off him but it was at the very end of his episode and I think by that stage on most channels the audience has moved on. Thanks for responding mate. I’m not stopping no, I may slow down as it’s not easy with how busy our lifestyle is but won’t stop. Is your channel still up and going? All the best mate
Love the old White, Steve. She's a beaut.
Hi Mary thank you mate
Your equipment is all gorgeous Steve only thing I got a problem with is the steering wheel is on the wrong side🤣😂🤣😂🤣❤️🤘🏼🤣
Hi Nick thank you. I get a lot of that about the steering wheel mate😅😅😅
Great show like the fact that you are having a beer while you are doing your stuff Great cheers mate
Thanks Fred. I always do if it’s a Saturday and we are at my place filming mate
That's a good lookin' rig, even sounds great, thanks for sharing.
Thank you mate and my pleasure
man,that detroit brings back memories,cut my teeth on a 238 witha 13 speed back in the 70s,gotta love them.thanks for sharing..it put a smile on my face and special ringing in my ears.as always Steve,thanks for sharing....im heading over to old rigs down under,will tell him Steve sent me.....cheers
Hi Robert I’m glad it brought back memories mate. This one would be better with a 13 but still good how it is. Thanks for watching mate.
Great truck n video Steve she’s a good looker . Lovely cab . Thanks from the uk
Hi Ben thank you mate. All the best
Thanks Steve always enjoy a blast from the past ,you,'ve got my dream yard but living in suburbia in Adelaide I don't have the room so I watch and follow along with you ,i think you have all the Trucks I grew up with ,Thanks Mate
Kym
Adelaide
Thanks as always Kym. I’m glad you like it and it brings back memories for you.
Hey up mate another great video, that patch you've got was looking beautiful in the sun
Hi John. Thanks for watching. Yes it looks great when the light is like that. It’s a nice area in the afternoon
This was the truck used in maximum overdrive I feel like all other trucks don’t get payed attention enough so instead of green goblin truck I look at other trucks
Cheers for the walkaround on the old White Steve, she's a beaut! When you mentioned she was an old water tanker from Singleton I started wondering if it was the same one I used to see around that area a bit in the late 90's - early 2000's (had some battle damage to the nose as well), don't know how long this one was parked up before you got her so might not be the same one.
Hi Robert. It could be the same one. There wouldn’t have been too many of this model doing the same thing I couldn’t imagine. It had a Hunter Valley Water Cart and Sweeper Hire sticker on it
Have a good week
All the best Marc you too mate
We had one we called the road camode
Hi mate beautiful. They are a great truck
Finally found time t watch rest of video. Could hear some of conversation with your Dad, sounded like a problem with the worn engine in the Centuro? You’ve reached the milestone where content self generates on its own on your property.
Hi Geoffrey. Yes he was using the Centauro and said he was pushing and felt like it locked up. Still had oil in it and started fine the next day and has done a fair few hours since and still seems okay, apart from breathing heavily. I will never run out of content mate, just like all your wonderful things, just pick something and record it
G’day Steve, I’ll send you a photo and video of the gearstick in my argosy I did it similar to the white but with chromed hi/lo valves and a glitter shift knob from hi-way truck accessories, I’ve asked people to move it for me and they all keep saying nope I don’t know how to use the air valves 😂😂😂
Hi mate I will check it out
Steve me dad had a diamond reo I think was about 1968 model 964 short bonnet but high cab 6/71 Detroit 5x4trans and sqhd 38 Rockwell diffs I was a kid but loved that truck was used logging out of nowendoc to Gloucester nsw
Mate thanks for sharing this. I feel I’ve heard about this truck related to your name before. What was your dad’s name?
They don't build em like that anymore👍
Hi mate that’s right, they certainly don’t
Hey Steve ! That's a nice old White. She's got good paint and newer rubber. That Detroit sounds strong with a nice rippin' note to her under load. I live north of Detroit here so that engine holds a home pride aspect for me. The Nissan diesel vid was the one I found your channel on. Very cool. Grass looks good on the one side. That's what ya was doing the last time I look in on ya. That low boy trailer with the walking beam axles is cool. Never seen one before. Anyway Cheers Mate ! 🍺🤛😎👍
Hi mate thank you. Yes the paint is good. I done it back in 08-09. I’m glad it means something to you. The Nissan was a good video. I was hoping it would have gotten a lot further in views but it stopped. I’m glad you found me mate. Please spread the word and help us grow. Thanks again
Nicely renovated truck. Alas, there are still no hats. Can you send me one T-shirt to Poland? You didn't answer what you plan to do with the Zetor 4911, maybe one of your friends has such a model for sale. Great work. But it would really be a good idea to repaint the trailer for this purpose.
Hi mate. Have ordered the hats you wanted so they coming in soon. How would you get the Zetor from my place to there?
Nice bud got metal pull starter for my vb2 buggy need spring and resiver boxes
Well done Alex keep it up mate
LTS 9000 with a Series 60 n 18 speed is on my wish too mate. Most of em here in NZ have M11 or L10’s in them
Yes Matt they would be a nice truck to drive. Those fords have a well laid out cab
Awesome truck. There 1 like it for sale in Oklahoma. Would love to go get it.
Hi mate thanks. I’m thinking that you will go and get it. I hope so anyway 😅😅
😊
Thank you mate
Your welcome mr
Love the old White, are you attending the Diesel, Rust & Dust truck show at Denman in a few weeks?
Hi Keith. We were all lined up to go there yes because I have a tractor to pickup just outside of Denman, but since found out my mate will be here at the same time from Germany so that may have put an end to that.
Steve I thought it was an 18 speed not a single speed lol
I know about drunk buying I'm in Brisbane and recently bought a site trailer ....... in Tamworth lol
Hi mate. It’s a 15 speed this one.
Yes the drunk buying, that will take some getting home, but it doesn’t matter at the time 😅
There few transtars & Mack's on Australian military auctions dont no $$$ involved but they lot low klm anyway you'll find something no hurry AYE
There are yes Ron. Reasonable money too. Not sure which way I will go yet. My missus keeps telling me not to worry about another one and use what I’ve got
When the 8v71 goes in will you have twin lakeside pipes under the chassis 😜😜😜
Probably leave her out through that single one mate. She will roar then
Your ears would be ringing at the end of the day used to wear ear plugs.
Hi Mark. Yes they do and I wear them also. Extremely noisy
It may not be cheap but have you thought about turbo charging it, and maybe diff gears mite help it aswell
I have thought about it but I believe from being told by a few people that they weren’t much better with a turbo. For the cost and he effort anyway, but ahu that’s what I been told. The gearing is great in it. It’s got a good deep reduction gear for low then will get 115 kph roughly out of it on the highway
@@stevesplacedownunderthats totally understandable , sounds like it a good cruiser, I did see a white like your one on Facebook market place with 6v92 gm in it
U can always buy the LTS and sit on it for 3 years 🤔
Have you lagged the bulkhead and the underside of the bonnet, or would the extra weight make it detect hills you'd never before noticed. It seems Whites suffer from not being Paccar or Freightliner in the States. The Colonial cousins are a bit unwilling to do anything a bit different, thus compounding the parts situation.
No I haven’t done anything like that yet Neil
Hi Steve could you tell me a bit about the red Dodge tandem you have down the back cheers George
Hi George. It’s an international D1810. It’s a v8 345 petrol with a 5 speed main and 3 speed auxiliary trans. It’s had the rear end of a butterbox ACCO fitted to it. Originally would have had a single 2 speed diff. There’s a video coming up where I move it but don’t start it. That will be a separate will it run episode
@@stevesplacedownunder that’s very interesting I have been looking for a Loadstar but haven’t been able to find one yet for what I want to do the loadstar was my first truck it had a 653 and a 5x4 would the inter be for sale cheers George
@user-pe7si7cf7k I’d love a loadstar to mate. Great old truck. No I don’t really sell anything, I’m still trying to build my collection. If I ever go full time with RUclips it will be on the road that one
She's a Georges old girl Steve
Thank you Steven
I hope you wiped your old boots before you got in the cab mate 😂
Hi Martin. Yes I didn’t get on there with mud or anything 😂😂
@@stevesplacedownunder 👍
Hey Steve can you turbo the 6-71??
Yes mate but the gains for the cost and effort wouldn’t be worth it for what I do with it really
@@stevesplacedownunder rogee mate
So you're saying
It has to be 30 years and older to get club registration
jesus fing christ
not called screaming jimmies for nothing i guess
theres a 1990 UD prime mover here for sale (bungendore, nsw), 10 speed, single axle if that kind of thing boats your float. he's asking $15k, no idea what they're worth.
Hi mate thanks for watching. Thanks for letting me know also. I’ve got something lined up but have since had to spend some money on something more important too so I will see which way I go
