I personally definitely want a tangent like this with the costs, pros, and cons of starting with a cheaper truck.

I have been driving semi's for 36 years and loved every minute of it. I am currently out hurt and missing my trucks bad. I stumbled across your videos and you really are very entertaining, plus I get to see all your trucking experiences. Thank you brother.

Here's the deal on the " big cam 4 " cooling system . Low flows have restrictor plates in side radiator - keeps H2O in radiator longer to cool it more but makes engine run warmer especially on hot days / long hard pulls .. to change to high flow u must change ; radiator - water pump - engine oil cooler . Ezest way to tell them apart is low flow has 2 main hoses ( feed & return ) on top of radiator while high flow has 1 top 1 bottom ( return goes to top - feed is at bottom ). Also look at engine oil cooler - high flow will have pipe/ hose coming out bottom rear going to bottom radiator .

Ok…I LOVE the truck number on the ear tag

We always called the T800’s “anteaters” we thought they were fugly. The T600 I drove was a big improvement over the FLD120 I drove.

I’ll never forget when I was a kid I got a T600 nascar hauler die cast and it along lit a little fire for the enjoyment of big rigs. Kelloggs terry labonte truck matter of fact. Good stuff

I'm a truck driver who loves watching trucking videos. I actually started watching your channel due to the Nascar videos, they are definitely interesting (I had a chance to be a local stock car truck driver/pit crew member but quit due to it being only 3 weekends a month). Then I went down the rabbit hole and watched half your videos. That said, I enjoy the farming/ranching side and especially the bull hauling side. I grew up on a ranch and it's not easy. Anyways, keep up the great work and I'll keep watching every video I can.

I’m all for this series I love these cheap ol trucks even if some may think they aren’t worth anything, it’s the history and the experience with these trucks that make it enjoyable for me

Can we take a second to recognize how awesome all kids let alone fretty's sweet strumming is,oh yes

Let’s see you polish that new truck before after pics and the process of getting it all cleaned up and ready for service and totally do the cost breakdown and earnings of this rig so the new young truckers can understand the process of doing it right way with minimal debt

Sorry to hear about your stones man. Thing about the trucking for NASCAR episodes, is that it showed a side of NASCAR that nobody commonly gets to see. It also showed some pretty cool trucks.Bonus! Love the new/old KW too.

Maybe do the series with the T600 like you're thinking, only incorporate the pigeon as your travel buddy, it seems attached to you..... it was actually quite amusing watching it peek around as you were discussing the truck. Good video Brother, keep them coming!!

Totally love the bird. I think he needs a name. Hope to see more of him. He likes you.

I hate to say it but that Bird is the star of the video Love the Truck I use to drive one

The nice thing about a engine before all these electricial sensors is you don't need a laptop to hook up to it to find out why it's running bad. The big cam 400 - 4 is a good engine. Nice score dude...

Jax love your channel but adding the Jr. Motorsports to your channel was awesome, very nice mixture of content then to top it off with EAR TAG 463 you nailed man 👌🙏🙏

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The T600 drew me in, then I realized who you were ! I'm not really a big KZread follower but the Cero Gordo adventure was one of the most interesting series I have ever watched. Of course I had to view every second available on your channel and found it even more fascinating ! That was truly an adventure of a life time and left no doubt that Dave Sparks & Co. are the real deal. You are unique character that I plan on being entertained by for many hours to come. Good luck Jax and stay safe 👍

Wow, a t600! Don't know why, but I've always liked them trucks. They look pretty cool! I'd watch that if you'd upload it. It'll be something interesting

The t600 was huge here in australia,trucking companies here were full of t600s,one company refridgerated roadways which is now gone had alot of t600s and k100s. It was also an end to an era of all the fast trucks before we got speed limited.

I Love Each of the Trucks by the End of the Video, this is Part of the Problem because I, like You want to Keep the, All! Don’t Sweat the Deleted Footage, you will have this on the Big Jobs. I’ll catch you on the next One, Keep It Safe Out There Sir

Good video and I hope you get all the repairs done on your truck. Just make sure you greased your 5th wheel before you start out trucking and pulling a trailer. I hope you will find low fuel prices. Take care of yourself and your truck driver. Please let us know when you have all the repairs done. May our Lord be with you always.

The series of starting out with an old truck would be awesome.

Yes we would like to see you run this older Truck. I have a Big cam 3 here in Texas with the low flow cooling too. I've only owned older equipment also so this would be something I would like to see

Yes...that would be a great series.

JAX FOR PRESIDENT 2024!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!! LOVE THE KENWORTH!!!!🇺🇲

Definitely would watch that. Be nice to see how it all works over the pond compared to here in the UK.

Definitely want to see a old truck series!

Do it! Love the idea of a series on making a living with an old truck. I use my 94 Pete 379 with a 3406C mechanical engine daily.

Yes! I would definitely watch you put this truck on the road!

Awesome wild wild West videos brilliant all about road trucking and your farm work great class videos love them 👍👏🇬🇧

That pigeon is a good judge of character. Love your video's, you have such a great take on life, love it!

Glad to see your video and enjoyed the guest appearance (pigeon).

I was an 80's kid (51 now) all my toy trucks, Nylint and Road Champs were all classic long hooded trucks. Maybe that's because that's all we had at the time lol

Heard Greenbush, went wait a minute…Jax was just an hour from my farm! Speaking of Nylint toy trucks, my son was just gifted one of those black T600 “The Sound Machine” trucks. Been hauling gravel around here since I was a kid, I’m sure I’ve seen that one in my travels. Nice score Jax!

my grand father had a parrot that would sit on his shoulder like yhat his name was max. your bird has really nice color.

Nice K Whop! ❤. It’s Perfect. I’ll be looking forward for more ride along videos. Congratulations. Oh I collect flashlights, nice…my sons and husbands always come for my flashlights….the buggers.

I think you should fix-r-up and run it. Shows people that you have class. I love older semi's. They're classy.

Would love to see a budget series. That will be a great truck to run

Ordered a 1991 T600 with a 60 series Detroit and 15 over, studio sleeper, full farings with dual exhaust up back of sleeper. Went from 5.6 with old 86 Pete to 7.2 when fuel was only 1.25 a gallon! Making money like crazy! Enjoy that truck 😊

Very nice! Dude!!

Trade your sleeper for air dine bigger hole can slide your high back seat way back in the sleeper if you want. Plus lots more room. I've seen it done before. Dude pull into stock yard sitting back in the sleeper everybody thought the truck was driving itself.

Man seeing that brings back memories my dad had a t600 just almost exactly like that when I was a kid his had a 3406b so I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for those I say you run her I think once you fix the couple minor things she’d be a good reliable rig

Nice old aint eater, those tractors looked pretty cool when new ,nothing else like it on the road definitely turned heads.

I'm in love with the T600 I've been looking for one myself. Hope all goes well with it and you can drive the wheels off of it

Beautiful old truck! You have to keep that bird! To funny. Haha. Thanks Jax's. Hope you had a great fathers day.

Jax, a few little things and tricks I learned over the years! 1st, you can put a brick, a couple 2x6's screwed together, or something like that in front of the gas peddle, to get your heal up in a more comfortable position! Cheap and easy! 2nd, it's called a big hole conversion, and the sleeper and the cab are still mounted to the frame separately, and are independent of each other. One other thing about the big cam 4, they liked there fuel, as you will find out! With fuel prices as high as they are, a N-14 would have been a much better choice, and not available in 91! You also forgot to say what the rest of the driveline spec's were?

Jax I'm like 'ol Rooster, I have over 4 million miles over the so whatever you are doing I enjoy it

I think a old truck video series would be great, can't wait.

In addition to making a living on a cheap truck, I have a request for topics to discuss: the realistic pros and cons of being a trucker. Not to discourage anyone, but just to make sure they don't jump in head first without being prepared.

DANG Jax...that truck is all you buddy ! I hope it serves ya'll for a long time.

Love the new mascot, you should name him Kenworth. Not original but seems fitting for the video , also I have a 6 month old kitty that looks identical to yours. Truck looks very cool, and hopefully this is suitable, retro. Great job 👍

If the air filter or filters were ran plugged, that will make the turbo pass oil like that. Ive worked on many of farm trucks that way.

Greetings from Kalispell! Would love to see a series on getting started in trucking. I think that's an awesome idea.

I like old trucks would love to see this truck fix up and on the road , I use to drive 19 1/ 2 years I had to give it up dew to eye cancer in my left eye . I miss being able to drive , keep up the good work and the videos and be safe .

My dad's first new truck was a 79 Kenworth 444big cam Switzer 5 and a 4 transmission His second new truck was the w900 gold plated is all I remember.

Always loved those trucks. I’d keep that thing and run it. The idea of breaking down rumbaing an older truck would be a pretty cool series. Really put it in perspective.
