Cummins Big Cam IV - Cold Start

[impossible]

my dad used to drive a cabover like this for J.B. Hunt, been so long ;)

[WLFP80]

Speaking of The 9700 Schneider used to Own them & I remember Builder's Transport They Used to Own them too but I'm not sure when The First of them were Built & When The Last of Them Were Built. I think they had Caterpillar Engines but I'm not sure How Common Cummins & Detroit Diesels Were in them.

[Godzilla23i]

awesome Cabover and cummins.

[dueltruck700]

I agree with biggestMetallicAfan..althoug it mightent be the prettiest..its still a t classic and nice to one know has been preserved instead of shipped off to foreign countries to get the crap pounded out of them

[chadro85]

cool cabover

[dexterr88]

vid coming soon

[dexterr88]

whats the best type of radiator fluid to run in the big cam with twin turbo

[skodas]

nice looking for a truck

[greywolf45]

Wonder if this one had that 7-speed?

[MrLuckytrucker21]

most of those shit boxes got shipped to south america, russia, mexico, africa and so on.

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

gotta love them cabovers no matter what compaine they were for

[MrHellyeah2010]

got a question about deisels: I'm assuming the big cam is a lumpier camshaft like on hot petrol motors. Stupid question, but i never really heard of modifying diesels til i stumbled upon videos of powerstrokes, cummins and duramaxs 'rolling coal' with big stacks (very cool).

[kevinKonig]

@MrHellyeah2010 From what I remember when I was driving a Big Cam Cummins it refers to the difference in cam journal bearing size between "small cam" and "big cam" engines. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

[MrHellyeah2010]

@kevinKonig thanks mate! sorry i took ages to respond, i totally forgot.

[DeserTBoB93535]

@MrHellyeah2010 Uncool. "Rolling coal" is usually idiots in pickup trucks with "chips" to overfuel the engine to extreme amounts. Overfueling is death to any diesel...ask any old-timer who's pulled a sleeve on a Detroit by having his foot mashed to the floorboard too long! If you see soot, all the fuel isn't burning completely. Soot is hard carbon. Hard carbon is very abrasive. Abrasive exhaust products = short engine life. Get it yet?

[MrHellyeah2010]

@DeserTBoB93535 Aahh okay thanks mate. I'm an aussie, and (perhaps surprisingly) there is no pickup truck scene in australia (dodge, ford or chev don't send their trucks here) we got ford falcon and holden utes instead (do some research, you might find it interesting). Those sort of drivers sound like the idiots who cruise past high schools with out-of-tune v6 holden commodores here in australia. So it looks cool but ain't real good for the motors - still, i'd love to smoke out some eco-hippies!

[jay2ggod]

i remnber my grandad driving a cab over the one he drove had a big gear shifter then a lil gear shifter

[vhdtim]

What ever happened to all those jb hunt and schneider cabovers?

[Bbdo700]

@vhdtim Most of ex-JB-Hunt International cabovers was moved to Russia.

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

@Bbdo700 every once in while i'll see a jb hunt cabover and a shneider one sometime a swift agrosy

[ImForwardlook]

@Bbdo700 I have been wondering about this since many many years ago I witnessed a convoy of these beige International cabovers here in Finland headed towards Russia. Later some were seen pulling trailers here, man, those trucks probably never received any cleaning up since they got to Russia. If there wouldn't be politics in the way a lot of people here would like to drive American but it is almost impossible as things are.

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

@vhdtim schneider cabovers went to peru or some were but they ddidnt get rid of them all i still see a few running everynow and again

[nokiaicon]

Are you still running this truck? Whta cpl is the engine?

[mjfpercussion]

Is that all turnkey? I know about the older trucks where you turned the key to on; then you pressed the button.

[SpooksHill]

mmmm cabover

[izyakac]

ебанашки! вот на урале зимой тойота спринтер дизель при минус 40 - это холодный старт...

[swanger1313]

This is what made me fall in love with Driving rig many yrs ago.. see all the COE's on the road!

[nokiaicon]

How much are injectors for that thing?

[5150ramjet]

Wow that was so exciting.I think I shit myself.

[FriPilot]

Reminds me of the first big truck I ever drove.

An ancient Binder with a 290 fuel squeezer. Couldn't get out of it's own way, but was great for pulling a furniture trailer.

[mattherklotz]

what an ugly truck

[biggestMetallicAfan]

And your an ugly person.

Man you really don't know trucks do you...? This things a classic tractor.

[wilbertm94]

its, not ugly, its cool as shit

[dant387]

yew can always tell an old JB Hunt truck!!!

[invalido1234567890]

this truck is cool..I used to drive this trucks and they are better specially for tight corners and easy to back up...long nose are more long and a bit difficult to back up in tiny spots...

[Mercy040]

"Long nose are more long", good job timmy

[HaroldKenneth]

Little known fact... the steering wheel diameter on this truck is 3 ft.

[CUMMINSM11]

sounds like a train

[coyner254]

Not a cold start! You live in Florida! Come to Michigan and do that :P

[wilatemodel]

lmao!!...im from wi & was thinking the same thimg!!

[TruckerLowGear]

Awesome

[jeanbanahn]

now thats one ugly truck lol

[Tr2u1ck]

stop misreading..

they SHIPPED a huge chunk of ex-JB 9700's to Russia

[fuddmethen]

being a cabover and a set back from axle, that thing must turn on a dime, great for backing up i'd imagine. I've never driven a cabover but have always wanted to try it

[yamahonkawazuki]

they do turn pretty good. BUT where in a long nose you could see the sides of hte truck ( out window, and hte hood, in a CoE, you see nothing. a bit unnervving at first

[bonnevillessei]

isnt that a 9670? i remember those from when they had 2 compartments on the bottom of the bed.

[Vista0009]

Its a 9700, the 9670 had a set forward axle and this truck's axle is set back.

[truckinboy376]

it is me and we cold start that v8 diesel i drove it

and it blow out smoke on 5th gear reply

[truckinboy376]

is that your truck man! i have one with

v8 detroit the motor was put in it the orignal

was a n14 cummins

[ClassicTVMan81]

Would like to see a long video of that clocking at a minimum of 5 minutes.

[nmcarpenter]

Man, those trucks are synonymous with JB Hunt trucking! I used to see those light brown COE's running all over the place about 10 years ago.

[Vista0009]

I know, its wierd how they all disapeared so quickly.

[rkasior]

They all got shipped to Russia, they are big on American trucks there and Europe

[champ0925]

nice cabover international i got a w900l

[shelterduck]

try starting when its -40 up here in northern ontario canada the fual jells up

[farmerphilMT]

I love my Pete 362 cabover, but my 400 Cummins Big Cam 4 doesn't start that fast, why would that be? It runs great, but it takes a bit fire up.

[Vista0009]

It might be because its colder where you live, its pretty warm here in Florida.

[farmerphilMT]

Good point. I just plug it in, and it's a lot happier.

[farmerphilMT]

I just got this truck, and we're ranchers who mainly use it to haul about 1200 round bales a year. Are you a good person to ask questions about the engine since I can't find any info on the internet? If so, my main one is, what are the normal operating RPM's? It's seems pretty happy up to about 1600 or 1700. is much more than that pushing it?

[nokiaicon]

If you want answers go to diesel injection they got all the answers you need! Google it I'm currently about to build my 350 big cam to about 450 hp let me know

[jlescelius]

@farmerphilMT its low on compression

[GFire25]

@farmerphilMT Plus all engines are different. Maybe it just takes a little longer for yours to get the fuel pumping.

[BostonTrucker]

Nice Truck U a O/O

[fartblossom716]

GAWD!!! I remember them trucks that is exactly what I learned how to drive a big truck in school...don't miss 'em either!! but it does look like you have kept her in pretty good shape!! nice vid!!

[Hotrodx199]

A friend of my dads (the guy he hauls hay for at times like the hay truck video with a C12 cat) Has several of those international cabovers. 10 years ago he had a big bunch of em but now alot of them are gone. 1 of them thats still around but parked is a 90s IHC 9800 w/ a 3176 cat and a super 10 speed. All of the cabovers he has are powered with C12's except for 3 of them. 2 are detroit 60 series and one of them is the 3176.

[DieselFords]

Ford trucks are my favorite, but any cabover has a high "cool factor" as far as i am concerned

[peterbiltexd]

blop blop blop i love old cummins coldstarting

[s172mch]

thats got a descently sized sleeper

[dueltruck700]

is that a garbage wagon ur haulin? and yeah nice truck!

[Vista0009]

You mean the trailer? I think its called a walking floor, it mostly hauls mulch and sometimes yard waste.

[dueltruck700]

k thnx 4 the info lol we use the same type of trailer for hauling residential garbbage frm transfer stations to landfills.

[Hotrodx199]

yeah. imo, the 4's were a joke. i havnt ridden in a truck that had one, but i heard lots of stories about them.

[Hotrodx199]

i heard that the big cam 4 cummins had a shitty cooling system and that the big cam 3 was the one to get. this true? give your opinions if u wish.

[trkr27]

BC4 used a low flow cooling system, it sucked. if you were a gollon or two low it would get hot!.

[Hotrodx199]

hey nice truck man.

[2500mike]

great truck!

[murphtony234]

thats a short old girl them old cab over are sure fun to run

[AIRFORCEgeneral360]

nice truck but it would be better with RED

shiny paint or BLUE, and new head lights.

[vccranker]

Actually, it's excellent just as is! Just not quite what I thought it would be. ;)

[vccranker]

i was hoping this was going to be much different!

Thanks anyway.  ;)

[Vista0009]

What can I change? Tell me what you'd want me to film because I just might do it. :)
