Did you buy premixed antifreeze or full strength? If full strength you need to mix 50/50 with water. Also should be low silicate antifreeze.
1984 359 can it drive in oregon ?

I have not added yet. I only bought 3 gallons. Guy said it was made for it. I told him the filter had something in it. I will double check it is. Thank you
-
It needs mixed. I bought all they had.
-
You don't have to buy it premixed. You can mix it yourself by adding equal amounts of distilled water and full strength antifreeze.

Yes I bought kind th as t u add water to. I'm to cheap to buy premade lol.
-
Sorry phone auto correct . Yes the kind you add water to. Lol

Do I hook up batteries positive to positive ,neg to neg ? Feel silly asking but for the life of me ,I cant ccx remember. There are no batteries hooked up. No clue where he put them . So I need to buy some. I know it takes more than 1. Not sure how many I need. Or how to install them .

That's a round dash, just like my '85. My '72 in avatar had a flat dash, no bump. You can keep the "tattletale" ( speedogragh) as an antique, Peterbilt generally catered to a higher class of driver, one that could be trusted and I saw very few Peterbilts with speedographs. It's a negative ground, meaning, the negative goes to the frame, and the positive to the cable that goes to the starter. No less than 3-12v batteries for a Cummins, all positive to positive and neg to neg. You can buy cables for multiple batteries. They usually go in that step box under the passenger, or drivers door. $2500 is an insult, and would be fully comfortable adding a zero to that number. 359's are hot, trust me. I kick myself for selling mine everyday, almost. Especially when I see one. I was going to make a motorhome out of it, and I still regret not doing that.

Thank you. Batteries always make me nervous. I have been zapped lol also I saw a car burn down once. For such a little square thing , they have ability to let you know you made a huge mistake!
Yes I was very insulted. I have more than that just in the motor he put in. He recently put an n14 in it.
The divers seat is not original. He paid a decent amount for it. It's very comfortable. The passenger seat might be stock. It lacks any comfort ! No arm rests just 2 square cushions. Lol. I learned quickly which pillows to take and where to place them ,when I rode with him. Lol. He put a very expensive cb in it but took it out. A ranger something. We had an arguement over spending that much and not using it lol. So it now sits in my drawer.lol . Such a waste.
Today is the day, I'm buying batteries. Changing all fluids. I am going to drain what fuel is in her. I'm worried since she has sat a bit. Not much in her anyway. I'll put new fuel but not fill her, too many gas cans for that!!!. Then I am turning her over. Crossing fingers shes survived winter ok. Hoping she knows shes loved and will fire right up. The belts look good. If she starts I will jump for joy. Then shes going to peterbilt. They said $125 an hour. Should take an hour. They will go through her. Check brakes etc. Make sure I can get her to her new home. She will appreciate her new garage. Its huge. 2 stories so she fits!
Peterbilt said I might need cdl because she is 3 axle. Bobtail or not. So I have to call dot and ask. Just to be safe. Too far to claim agriculture. But was told to put not for hire on her.
Wish me luck ! Lol201 Thanks this. -
