3208 CAT hasn't started in 10 YEARS! The revival of Sloth the Boom Truck
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It sat for 10 years not running, possible up to 15 years without moving. This is a 1989 GMC TopKick, with a CAT 3208 (10.8 Litter V8 Diesel), and a 6 speed Eaton Fuller Synchro. Three section boom truck that was bough on auction. We call her sloth....she's slooooow, and you will see why.
JJJreact! Woooo

De asombrar los camiones americanos de esa época eran bien fabricados cat 3208 power❤
You don’t need to worry about a blown hydraulic hose. Hydraulic fluid will barely even spray everything. Wrap er in some Toby tape and it identifies as brand new.

Well the property owner didn't want any hydraulic fluid to touch the ground. I haven't tried to just tape a hydraulic hose haha. I'm not so sure it would have held the pressure. Hard to see on the video, but it was a gaping gash in the hose.

I assume y'all don't have a big enough trailer to throw it on, so your best bet is to keep doing what you're doing until you can get it to a safe place. Whether it be the roadside in a place where cars can easily see you or an O'Reilly parking lot, just get it somewhere you can work on it and put it up on blocks. I think your only option from here is to take those wheels off and see what's going on inside 🤷♂️
Those are slow engines but will usually start at -10 degrees.

Well it was slightly wired wrong, so it probably didn't need all that ether. But she ran pretty good all things considered.
