Older Rigs, New Life: How Aaron Fuller Keeps a 1994 Kenworth Running So Well
In Australian road transport, there’s something unreal about an older rig that still works hard every day. Modern trucks might be packed with tech, but a well-kept classic earns respect — especially when it’s hauling freight all week and turning heads at a drag event on the weekend.
That’s exactly what brothers Aaron Fuller (Aaron Fuller Transport) and Daniel Fuller (Fuller’s Haulage) are doing. Their fleets aren’t brand-new showroom units. They’re seasoned workhorses that stay reliable because the Fullers are strict on maintenance and fussy about performance.
The secret to keeping an old Detroit dependable
Older engines cop it the hardest: heavy loads, long hours, heat, and carbon build-up that can rob power and increase fuel use. Aaron’s answer has been consistent for years — FTC Decarbonizer from Cost-Effective Maintenance.
- Smoother running
- Stronger throttle response
- Improved fuel economy
- Reduced wear over time
For a transport operator, that’s not just pride — it’s real savings through fewer issues and longer engine life.
Aaron and Daniel recently took their older rigs to a Truck Drags Australia event — and proved age doesn’t mean slow. In the lead-up, Aaron treated his engine with FTC Decarbonizer to clear lingering carbon and sharpen performance. A clean engine delivers better response, and in drag racing, every bit counts.
The event itself was a standout, with big crowds and energy all day. The demand has been so strong that Truck Drags Australia is looking to expand into Victoria and Queensland next year.
A solid lesson for Aussie truckies
Plenty of drivers still choose older rigs because they know them inside out. With the right care, those engines keep surprising people — on the highway and on the strip.
Aaron Fuller Transport is a perfect example: good maintenance plus the right product can keep a classic truck running hard, clean, and dependable for the long haul.
