Big Cam Cummins reliability

Thanks so much!!!

I had a relative who designed many of the Freightliner trucks of that era, and I was thinking about bidding on that auction, but I'll have to wait until I can find one with a Big Cam III.

PS: That auction also has a sweet sweet sweet very low mileage Ford 9000 with a pure mechanical 3406C and an 8LL transmission. I'd bid on that one, but I'm guessing it's probably headed towards $20K [maybe $25K].

Plus I oughtta stay loyal to Freightliner.

 

I'm with you. I'm all about a nice Freightliner with a big cam. Mine has a big cam 3. The big cam 3 really is the best of the best. Unless you find an n14 mechanical.

 

Yes Sir, that’s what happened.... lol

 

NTC 350 Big Cam 1977
CPL- 327
Recent overhaul. Maybe 100 miles on it.
I am going to be running Midwest on it pulling reefer. What do you guys recommend as to driving it for the first miles. Any special breaking in . It has a 10 speed Eatong Fuller with 355 rears. Good??
Any advice will be appreciated.

 

I never believed in the hole break in process crap. I always just ran them how I was going to run them. Never had problems.
