That’s cool thanks for watching sorry about the bronco add

I bought an LTL 9000 in 84 with the 400 Cat and 13 sp. Great looking truck with a nice interior but a small bunk. You are right about the ride quality, even with air ride they will beat your kidneys until you think you are going to start pissing blood.

Wow that’s crazy they rode that bad when it was new I thought mine was so bad because it’s been sitting

Got an 89 LTL in Australia. Great truck. Still working. Fun to drive.

Congrats on owning a real truck!!! That is a Ford LTL 9000 and I believe that is a 425 Cat. I love that dash set up. You can see everything easily. The new way suspension is a bone shaker but when it’s loaded it will ride super smooth. I love the ford Louisville line. I would take one in a heartbeat over any peterbilts or kenworths any day. Have fun with that bad boy!

That truck sounds so good!

Take care of that baby they don’t make it like that anymore. Good and reliable truck

What a great truck

Old School trucks from back in the day were such bad ass, unfortunately i've only driven trucks no older than 1995. By the time i got my CDL in 2006 lot of companies hardly used the old school beauties

Love your channel so much. Can you please make cold starts of everything you have and show us what you do to get them started with this view? would love to see more in detail what you do with the accelerator pedal in them, too

You were barely or not even alive when those things were made. Weird. I was alive and doing dealer prep on those things when they were delivered. Serious class 8 Ford dealers got to know those Louisville assembly workers by name. Their work time was not typical car assembly line stuff. Everything coming down the line was different. Sometimes things to do and sometimes not. I have serious respect for the L line of Ford trucks.

Cool!👍

Thats awesome! Im looking at a spud truck! Its a ford 9000 i dont know what engine it is!

I would love to have that truck

Looks like a possible 400 HP, don't have Jakes on it. Make sure you calibrate the dip stick at first oil change. With these sideways Ford's, you can over fill the oil pan and the rods will dip in the oil.

Putting air ride under the cab is no big deal and will smooth that truck right out

And what's your plans for the trucks use ?

I sure wish I could find me one

Ps go over that truck front to back it will treat you right. Very common for them to have a 400 cat with a 13 speed no jake

I have a single axle Sterling spring ride. Bobtail it will send you through the roof if you’re not strapped in
