kenworth k100 with detroit diesel 8v92 in Ireland

[Mysterio2276]

Nice rig... :)

[torchboy88]

great truck,i have a 89 with 444 cummins.my question is are the rear fenders stock? i have same style but there a little bent.thanks

[sledhill]

whats it doing in ireland. thats fucking retarded

[poclainerf]

@sledhill the same as it would do in America fucking working 

[sledhill]

@poclainerf use your own crappy eurotrucks. leave ours alone :(

[TheJordanGraff]

@poclainerf Correction in America that thing would be showing not working

[KENWORTHk100PEOPLE]

nice truck:)

[TurbinePower69]

Very Nice !! Just don't leave it idle very long.....better yet..NEVER, un less you can fast idle it at least at 1200 rpms. 2 cycle detroits were notorious for

"shellacing" the cylinder walls due to low cylinder tempuratures from excessive

low idle speeds....they "like" to be worked hard...and at High rpms....there's a reason that the marine versions were set at 2500 to 3000 rpms.

We turn the 12v71 in the sled puller at 4600 rpms.

[specialk68]

Yeah, that is a BJ McKay Kenworth clone. She's purring like a kitten. Excellent work on the restoration!

[poclainerf]

@specialk68 thanks for the comment

[bjiintx]

Wow, I did not realize American iron like this was on the road in the UK. This is a gorgeous tractor, you have the right to be VERY proud!

[starbearry]

Gorgeous! I bet you turn some heads with that thing

[jtfsucks]

Beautiful. No other words I can describe, but absolutely beautiful.

[Busdude97]

Could you make a vid of driving it and honk the horns?

[red52neck]

Oh Wow, Sweet!!!!

[duckydanbarrett]

[RUSSSELLLLL]

sweet truck!

[kala4200]

what a sound,,awesome

[stevesai]

is it hard to get parts out there in foreign countries ?

[poclainerf]

@stevesai yea it is hard to get even simple things like tyres and sealed beam headlights,ther are no 2 stroke detroit diesels here that i know off,my trucks are parked at the moment waiting for time and money to restore them,

[poclainerf]

@stevesai yea it is hard to get even simple things like tyres and sealed beam headlights,ther are no 2 stroke detroit diesels here that i know off,my trucks are parked at the moment waiting for time and money to restore them,

[stevesai]

@poclainerf well it is a beautiful truck hope u can get parts to restore them soon so u can post a new video ! how the hell did u get one of those over there in the first place ? lol

[felixchaus]

@poclainerf There are new round glass headlights looking as orginals, I think they are sold in motonet. I can ask my friend where he bought them for his 60`s cadillac

[bmwgrudziadz2]

How much cost this Kenworth in your country? He is beautiful.

[ford427mustang]

Sounds nice ! i saw what looks like a few bales of hay out side all stacked up . sure is a nice looking k wopper , as some of us call them. wish you were closer in case you would need a hand on a engine rebuild or something simple. CHEERS !

[karlssonm]

is it fore sale?

[poclainerf]

every thing is for sale,depends on the price

[IRONSEAN7]

man, its really nice to see one of thse bulldogs in nice shape,, how many miles on her

[huppypuppy]

poclainerf,

It's a wonder a friend of mine from Monticello, NY, USA hasn't dropped by to view this! He has exactly the same truck - albeit a year later than this - and all the specs are exact copies from your K100 to his!

Joe

[poclainerf]

hi huppypuppy,you need to get a video on here of your friends k100 thank`s

[huppypuppy]

I will PM you a link to Hank's page - he has posted videos on here!

[SeagraveRules]

Beautiful rig!! I'm sure that 8V-92 can out-pull anything made in Europe.

[poclainerf]

i think it would find it hard to keep up with a big v8 scania.

[SeagraveRules]

That may be true once the Scandia warms up a bit. But the Detroit being a 2-cycle will outperform the 4-cycle Scandia when cold. That's why American fire departments liked the 2-cycle Detroits so much, until they were discontinued due to the 1993 EPA emissions standards.

[MrEvoKanevo]

Well mate, ya did a nice job on the aluminum. Sharp lookin' Kenny.

[MrEvoKanevo]

Man those tanks ever shiny! They get very dirty, very fast. I work with a company in Ontario, Canada that polishes rigs and I'm impressed. You do the work yourself?

[poclainerf]

MrEvoKanevo i could do with some help polishing,i done the truck by hand using polish and rags hard work !!need to re spray the cab next.

[bigriglimo]

nice KW mate , i've got a W900L 86" studio , in scotland used for weddings etc , done a couple of truckers weddings in Ireland .

[poclainerf]

hi bigriglimo,i bet you loved the big wide roads in Ireland !! i allso have a w900a with 60 inch flat top it is a 1982 with round headlights.

[gm16v149]

Good looking aerodyne, if you could have imported one from Australia it would be factory right hand drive !

They ride a bit rough but if you fit 3-leaf parabolic springs on the front it improves it no end. You're halfway there cos I see you got airglide 100 on the rears. Also a good Isri or KAB seat helps.

Used to have a 8V92 myself, not many around these days in oz, used to be very popular.

[poclainerf]

hi gm16v149 yea thought about importing one from Australia but they are a worked a lot harder more weight and big milage.also i think they are a different model is it a k104.the truck`s seem to be a lot more expensive.not any detroits in ireland !!

[gm16v149]

The Aussie ones are built very strong compared to the U.S. ones, i.e, thicker chassis rails, often double rail, more cross members, stronger cabs etc. They are a helluva lot more expensive than a U.S import but at least they're factory RHD with the proper engine tunnel etc.

There's not so many 2-cycle Detroits around these days but you still see them. The 4-cycle S60 is popular here. Plenty of big 2-cycle in the mines, 16V149s, 12V149s etc. I bet that KW is a head-turner where you live.

[gedebage]

Wow, a cabover Kenny in Ireland!! Drove a few in OZ before I moved here to UK. It would nearly be worth the expense to pop over to Kerry to hear that sweet Detroit sound., have you got the jakes working? Top video

[poclainerf]

hi gedebage,my kenworth was in london for 6 month`s prior to shipping to ireland,it has jakes but they are not as loud as on my w900a with cat 3406a.the truck is parked at the moment.need to spray it an restore to original.

[patchesutick]

nice truck mate,have a look at my cabover in kildare,peterbilt 352

[jamesriker66]
