wow nice video sounds like hard ass rain with haile lol or the engin is about to explote or run lol pretty good seen old school truck =D

[Hotrodx199]

It's a really nice truck. If i had money and the boss at work wanted to sell it i'd buy it in a heartbeat. It just doesn't ride near as good as the T800 with air ride suspension hahaha.

[Hotrodx199]

If you want to hear what it really sounds like check out the other videos where it's actually driving.

[Hotrodx199]

It stops when air is built up it's the fan clutch thing.

THATS A NICE PETE BUDDY

This truck sounds nice. I never heard a big cam sound like that when you slowly rev it, sounds nothing like the Big Cam 3's or 4's I've been around.

[Hotrodx199]

this has a holset turbo on it like the big cam 3/4 has, it orginally didn't and because it does it has a nice whistle too it now. The turbos they used on big cam 1/2 hardly had a whistle too it at all!

[Vista0009]

That explains that kind of "humming" it has to it's rev.

[BigDan855]

Great video!!! I've always loved the way the compressers sounded on those old 400 cummins, We have a Big Cam4 ntc 350  in a 91 Frightliner which sounds awful.

[Hotrodx199]

I heard big cam 4s were terrible motors 1,2, and 3s were better i heard.

[BigDan855]

Yes I think 1,2 and 3's are way better they sound better and more reliable I think. I understand the down fall on the 4 is Injectors and the cooling system . We already had to replace injector # 1

[logdog01]

the racket is the horton fan it quits after the air builds up

[Buckshot3715]

Damn that's a sweet old truck!

[Hotrodx199]

At least this truck has a real hood compared to the T800 LOL

[Buckshot3715]

You got that right!

[Monstertruck1199]

That seemed like it took a long time to start i know you said it sits around but even if it did it shouldent take that long if i am right

[Hotrodx199]

Our freightliner takes way longer to start then this! hahaha. Although the smoke clears up faster in the freightliner then this for some reason.

[Monstertruck1199]

hmm that is kind of weird considering the freightliner is a straight pipe and this still has the muffler on it

[Hotrodx199]

It actually only took 2 seconds to start. It started turning over at :26 and it ran on pistons at :29. You might be confused with the clatter it has when its building air thinking it was the starter.

[Monstertruck1199]

thats what it was then thanks for the clear up

[Hotrodx199]

Yeah no problem.
