1985 kenworth w900b project

From day it blew to the first actual drive its been 1645 days. Doesn't seem like it though.

Jakes are working still can't get it to read temp sensors or mph. The gang plugs are tight and still full of electrical grease. Not sure what the issues is I have my shop I'm leased to looking at it. Drove 80 miles there Only issue is my shifter knob broke and was leaking air out bad enough it wouldn't shift back down to low gears. Not use to the tech so i killed it in a few turns since i didn't have low gears... oil pressure stayed 60-65 psi going down the road so I'm assuming it kept 180 temps.

Im having them go through it because I'm prob going have to go to canada to haul pigs so I'm just hoping everything is good on it

 

Had to order new oil pan. Old one had a crack i didn't see. So swap that get ac situated and then i load pigs Friday morning with it. Passed a dot with no issues

 

I still have a bunch to do. But first load with her in 1649 days of sitting.... going take while to get use to it again

 

You're gonna have to call that Truck family tradition. It took the whole family to put that thing back together. Sure enjoyed all the pictures and comments. Hope you really enjoy it. Labor of love.

 

.... lmao wait till you see what i used for carpet. Everyone of my kiddos helped, wife, brother, sisters bf, my moms foster kids, hell everyone did have a hand in it. Its still not completely done i got some wiring gremlins to deal with and I'm not good at wiring so i gotta have help with that. I have sound dampening pads in the semi ready to put under the carpet to. But it was Williams idea and well i thought it was quite fitting

 

Man, that is magnificent. Totally original.

 

That's awesome, what a great idea.

 

you know, a person could read that a couple different ways......

 

Lmao. So we figured there is part of a syncro and multiple teeth in the bottom as well as multiple hunks of large gears in there. It's under a year old so warranty should cover it. It took the place 6 or 7 weeks to build one of them and well hopefully it's not that long again

 

Sorry to see that. I have enjoyed watching you and your family go through that truck. Hopefully they repair it fast and permanently.
