[royenri01]

That thing sounded pissed when it first started.

[nokiaicon]

[bgmarmon]

where is the Peterbilt and Kenworth parts ?

[XxMagnumKillerxX]

my dad has a 400hp cummin C500 and twin turbo system needs

[windsofestrangement]

You makers me laughs

[harestorparen]

Glowers and engine heater is standard equipped in Swedish trucks!

Volvo now deliver 700hp and Scania 730hp in Sweden.

[xmodrock]

@harestorparen you realize of coarse how old this is right? meaning the truck

[avalancheno1]

6 cyl.?

[brucew44guns]

I drove two different early Cats, I think they were a 1673 or 1674 model #, one was 220 HP, one was 245 HP, they both had a glow plug switch you held to the right for about 30 seconds before starting on a cold morning. This was in 1969, Cat motors were refitted in older KW and a Pete. Without the glow plug heat, they would not start.

[Hotrodx199]

take that muffler off if you're running 800hp

[roadwolf2]

nice , never heard of a Peterworthliner before, lol

[2008PowerStrokeF450]

@roadwolf2 thats funny

[gizmo98550]

@roadwolf2 

[gizmo98550]

nice way of putting it lol

[yamahonkawazuki]

@roadwolf2 or a kenpeterliner

[rocker0912]

new glowplugs maybe?

[MnTrucker1984]

@rocker0912  Trucks don't have glow plugs

[rocker0912]

@MnTrucker1984 nah im pretty sure they do unless the newer models dont.

[MnTrucker1984]

@rocker0912 Nope. None. From the years past to today. None of my trucks have them, and I have never seen ones that does. I drove a 76 Kenworth that has a pre heat switch but it was a intake heater.

[Hotrodx199]

@rocker0912 All trucks dont use any pre-heaters including grid heaters and glow plugs. Direct injected diesels dont need pre-heaters like pre-combustions do like the 1693 and the early 3406A.

[MattytheDem]

@Hotrodx199 some do come with plug in block heaters if they are being operated in cold climates like the ice roads

[1973RoadRunner440]

@rocker0912  The NT855 is a cold blooded motor. Theres one in my Steiger Cougar 3 and if i let it idle for 30 minutes at operating temp, the engine will be cold again by the time you get in it.

[MattytheDem]

@1973RoadRunner440 must have a damn good cooling system

[1973RoadRunner440]

@MattytheDem It does. Big truck radiator with a big mechanical fan running constantly. Doesn't help that the NT-855 is a cold blooded motor and that one in the steiger had 4 pistons with almost no rings left. But shes all rebuilt now and running a lot better

[MattytheDem]

@1973RoadRunner440 seems like a good choice of motor for a really hot climate

[MattytheDem]

@1973RoadRunner440 how the hell was it still running with burned out rings?

[1973RoadRunner440]

@rocker0912  thats just the way they are

[jameson1333]

thats badass

[Unlimited3406]

nice truck man lets here her go threw the gears must sound real good

[CanyonTide]

Love it!
