These trucks look like the one my dad had back in the day God rest his soul

I had a few of these transtars with big cam cummins. Too much ether made them harder to start. Just one or two sniffs were plenty. Any more than that you would risk locking up a piston or two and throwing a connecting rod. What great tractors they were. I enjoyed driving them!

I live those IH Transtars as a kid! 🥳👍🏾🚛🥰🙏🏾😆🤟🏾🤴🏾

Am I the only one who DOES NOT miss working in these road commodes ?

One hell of a starter motor!!

@@Dee12327 True, crank for 30 seconds then let set for at least 60 seconds. Myself, I prefer to use another truck to air it up then pull start it if possible. Some trucks you can't air up unless there's a tire valve stem in the air tank. Installed many of those before. Seems pulling is easier on everything, batteries, starter, and wiring. Once pulled started an International with a 350 Cummins in 12 degree weather, aired it up, pulled it about 100 yards before it started the driver said it was turning about 1500 RPM. That's a lot of RPM for that much time. Truck had been setting for about a week.

Me and my irrational want for owning a bunch of these just to enjoy listening to while driving

Really great cranking!

Not just cold start but also sitting for a while

This is the only International I ever liked.

I would love to be cranking over diesels like that. Love listening to the starters while they are cranking!

You must keep your throttle to the floor when starting. This is an old school diesel motor. Keep your right foot planted to the floor until all 6 cylinders are firing. If not it will continue to stall. Shesh, youngn's. Have to teach you everything.

Thats a tired old cummins, time for a rebuild! beautiful truck though.

S/o to that starter. .. wow is she loyal

Normally they will not idle so you got to either hold it halfway down or to the floor and once you get it started you got to try to rev it and keep a little higher RPMs

C,mom, do it baby, do it! I know you can!

I would check to see if the oil air and fuel systems need replacing and I would refill the fuel tanks with fresh diesel fuel and I would clean the fuel injectors fuel system seems to the problem here I know because I used to work on semi truck s

Should’ve plugged it in before cold starting the truck.

Imagine being a truck driver and being late for work and you truck does this.

Wow THE INTERNATIONAL IS GOLITH ON KNIGHT RIDER

Wait what, frank? is that you

Why don't you prime the fuel system and save the starter

Is that a Powerstroke I hear idling as the big truck is trying to start?

ya can beat her anyway you want. but you will never beat her classic bold looks cuz shes a transtar 2. and still #1

Fuel filters are plugged.

Normally big cams don't take that long to start. I must either have a week fuel pump or something causing it to lose major prime or get no fuel at all.

@@SeasonalOccupation well the good news those big cams are interchangeable the 350s and the 400s are so many of them out there you can probably go to a junkyard and find yourself a decent fuel pump because a lot of times they shred their internal guts not the pumps.

Get that Cummins firing on all injectors first. Most likely stuck open.

I seriously thought the cylinder head was going to launch into a low earth orbit with all the gas being sprayed into that engine. If it doesn’t start and run in a couple tries d then stop! Obviously there is something causing it from running especially when it has been sitting out in a field.

You can scrap this engine it's garbage... If a Cummins Needs loads of Ether to start it's a goner.... Only thing left to do is take it apart and overhaul it. I started a Cummins Ford Cargo which had been sitting for 30 years... It was -5 celcius.... Changed the oil/coolant filled the filters with a mixture of fuel and Wynns Diesel Injectorcleaner and in the fueltank a can of WD-40 (100L tank and a can of WD-40...) Fuelrack at 0/off 30 sec of cranking... Fuelrack at idle and she fired right up. She had 970.000km on the clock. I Should never have sold that engine the Bodywork was gone that engine was gold.
