umodelnut Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Awesome!!! I knew that the cab was bad because I watched the American trucker show on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sounds good, never realized how bad the cab is. PaulLooks like a fresh reman injection pump. Strange sound with the "rapping" noise. Don't know if exhaust manifold leak or what but doesn't sound normal.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wasn't that noise the compresso?It is pronounced on both sides of the engine so it prolly is not a good thing........That oil discharge is at the cooler prior to lubricating the engine as its right off the oil pump. The noise sounds like starviation to me.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Green Dash Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 After watching the Donnie and Marie video this doesn't sound so bad.I am certain that I read somwhere that this truck had a 350 Cummins. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 A year or so ago someone posted on here about wanting parts for this truck. I exchanged a few PM's with him. He sent a link to the Evil and Robbie Kinevel web site which had pictures of the truck in its heyday. Signed his emails RK which I assume is Robbie Kinevel. I could have been fooled. He said he got a cab from Dennis Meehan so didn't need anything of mine. Someone on here suggested he contact American Trucker which he must have done because of the show which aired last year. The show was a farce, how they went looking for it, but I guess that is television. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E9V8 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I guess some call it a 283, but I've always known them as a 300 or (300+ if they were backed by a 13 speed) with the tip turbine. (ENDT 676, correct?)I do know it has an automatic transmission.Brad Wike was supposed to get it running & moving (which he did) and then it was to go to Elizabeth Truck Center in Joisey to do the rest. 1 Quote TerryJulian, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 ENDT676 is correct,known as the 300 series Maxidyne,283 hp.The 300+ was a ETAZ673A,a Thermodyne engine rated at 315 hp.There have been several times a 676 engine has been misrepresented as a 300+.

Lmackattack Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Rob I think Thats correct with the introduction of the 300HP maxidyne. the hoods also were a few inches longer to help fit the front mount intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Is this an aluminum Hayward F-Model????? Brings back memories of my father's Hayward F-Model single screw tractor, had a 300/5 speed/2 speed rear, he hauled new Trailmobile Trailers out of the factory in Lansdale, Pa. for Charles E. Danbury for years before he switched to freight and got an Allentown F-Model with a 300+ and twin screws.
