So now that the 4-speed auxiliary transmission is back from its rebuild at the Gear Center (thanks Josh!) its time to get it back in the truck. Once I solved how to get it in the shop and mounted on the trans jack, I then discovered I had to modify some Peterbilt engine mounts to make them work on the rear support. Then my dad came over and help build me some new work benches. Then I finish up by putting new u-joints on the forward driveshaft and installing it in the truck and then adding some new 50 weight synthetic transmission oil. Ready for another million miles!
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for all the comments, suggestions, and support!
Keep in mind, I know a little about a lot but not an expert in anything … just doing the best I can, learning as I go ... I do all my own stunts
Enjoy watching the progress of this ongoing Peterbilt 359 restoration the Kenworth W900A Smokey and the Bandit tribute project, and the upcoming #IronDuke Kenworth K100 cabover I’m planning to build up like the one used in the 70’s trucking movie High Ballin’ with Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda.

@@TwinStix thanks u Mark, I might have to buy one with ur logo on it
@@TwinStix -A "Twinsticks" crib board?? I'm in!! My crib board is a billet aluminum piece a friend made me. About 7 lbs.
@@swilkobarfingtoniii1642 I have a billet cribbage board myself, when I was a kid my father made one so he could teach me cribbage. My father is a tool and die maker so it was easier to make one since he was unable to find one locally. I still have that cribbage board 30 years later.
My ol man made me one out of a 3pt elk antler
Please give your Dad a big hug from me (I wish mine would still be around) and tell him that there is no reason to be camera shy when helping out a great son like he has.......God bless
Always a joy to watch you working on those old truck Mark, you really are an inspiration! All the best from the UK 👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Thanks Grandad Twinsticks!
Its even more fun in the dark during a raging blizzard LOL
Budget saving idea for your bench. Pour Elmer’s glue on the top and when it dries it will be an “epoxy type” coating.
Pull the bolt and chain out of the cherry picker and the other tube should slide into the boom on the picker and line the hole in the inner tube with one on the outer. . The bolt then goes through the appropriate hole for the weight you want to lift.
Cutting them bushings , the smell of Burnt Rubber gets me everytime , Love the drag Strips , just can't do the burnt rubber anymore ! But sometimes you have to do what you got to Do
Lucky duck's ...got all that snow ..lol...I love snow .. preciate Mark 🤘🇺🇸🇨🇦✝️
Most people wait for the next episode of some show streaming on HBO or Netflix. I'm constantly checking TH-cam for the next installment of TwinStick Garage. Keep 'em comin'!
TwinStick Thursdays 👀
Yep. Thoroughly enjoyed the episode as always. Thanks Mark.
Man, I wish you lived near me in the states. I would help you out in a heart beat, free of charge. The knowledge is enough payment for me.
Nice truck and Waylon music in the background makes the video even better👍
That was awesome of your dad to make those shelves for you. Enjoy every second you have with family.
Your father did a great job!!
Oven de-greaser is amazing. If you have a Dollar Tree or Everything and Dollar by you, that oven cleaner is the same stuff and cheaper. Glass cleaner too!
Watch it on anything aluminium, though.
I clean everything with glass cleaner 🤣 works amazing
It will remove paint also
I've been a mechanic for 55 years you make my head hurt.
Yeah ,well, I never said I was a professional… 😂
Mornin Mark, Really impressed with the job the gear center done on that tranny, I've seen their work before and they do good work. I always loved the feel of a new transmission, it's sure to bad they wear out. See you on the next one
I seriously appreciate the side by side comparison of the engine degreaser and oven cleaner.
Another great episode! I love how you engineer solutions with the tools you have to make things work. I truly enjoy your channel. Thanks again Mark.
Thats gonna make the world of difference to the drive now, great job. Thanks again for my Thursday fix
You live and learn Mark for some it's harder than others as my granny use to say 😉
Another Awesome Video. Great Work y’all, including Dad !! H.
You have good taste in music...and beer.
Thank you so much for all these episodes you shared with us. Warm greetings from Melbourne
Thank you for the video. You make a good job with the transmision. Wish you all the best.
The three are keeping you busy.
another great video thanks . They use to call the 15 speed last gear against the dash the goin to jail gear !! Lol
Love your trucks keep doing what you’re doing can’t wait till snowman is finished Smokey and the bandit is my favourite movie
Working in doors bliss I’m still working on the drive way great video 👍
Nice job, 👍 love the stool.
Thank you my day is now complete i got my twinsticks fix!!!
I love that sentence at the end! I’m a trucker. I’m not a guy who pounds my chest and says “Look at me.” But it is true, literally EVERYTHING comes by truck, big or small.
pretty sure the old bushing came off an air ride sleeper shock absorber things coming along nice mark keep it up
Good work. Installing a 4 speed aux by yourself is a big project! Good weather to enjoy your new shop!
that bushing work that you did made a mighty good argument for u to get a lathe
Agreed
Good to see Little by Little back together. Really enjoy seeing a really nice 359. Great work. Stay safe everyone.
You are correct about the cherry picker missing a part. Also, Harbor freight sells a pnuematic ram to save you time.
awsome video mark dang she looked like alot of work putting the trans back together i go nuts lol but at lease shes rebuild and redy to ride cant wait to hear lbl run onces again looking forward to it thumbs up and shared
Shop is coming together, great bench
Your engine crane that boom extension is supposed to slide inside the arm mounted to the ram.
Happy to see LBL back on her feet. The bench looks awesome, glad we got to see Dad TwinSticks at the end.
Great episode, tons of progress! Really nice workbench! I had to replay the end where we caught a glimpse of your Dad. Thanks for your help Dad! A real bonus! You gotta tell him not to be so camera shy...I really love some of Peterbilt Mike's videos when he gets to work with his Dad...
Wow those work benches look really good. Thirty inches looks like it will work better than twenty four. As the women say it was that one extra inch that brought on my smile... lolol. Opps things got away on me. Man I look forward to all of your vids. Each one has something new and different than the last one. Those trucks are so lucky to have them parked in your barn. Seeing the snow was not what I was ready for. Hopefully is the last for the year.. Loved the vid Twin, stay safe, enjoy the ride.
The truck is coming along nice Mark, i've seen TH-camrs use oven cleaner before with great results ( may have been Jesse Muller ). Love the crib board.
In one of your on the hunt episodes you should shop around for cheap skis steer with a pallet fork lol
Way to go Dad!
Yalls weather up there is unbelievable 😳
Work bench look really good!
Little shop cranes like that come in handy changed a fifth wheel on 79 r model day cab mack in my driveway with one just like that
Those bushings look just like western star upper rad support bushings
30 inches for a bench top is the ideal size easy to reach the back yet enough room to work. I tried a 24 inch top and was very disappointed
awesome parents you have Marc, as you and Mrs. TwinStick are too..peace and health..
Really enjoyed that "10 days out and 2 days in" track 👍
Looking good man. Can you send your dad down to Oklahoma??? I need lots of shelves built, he did a nice job.
As a trucker I appreciate your closing statement. Trucks are looking great and so are the work benches. Hopefully you won't run out of space too soon but it's inevitable!
Mark you do get some cold weather there in Alberta Snow just now !! I'm actually north of you in latitude and we are in a sunny day just now and yesterday reached a balmy 20 degrees Celsius
Alberta !! Relocation spot for polar bears lol
blue shop towels are the gospel!! Well done Mark.
Wowee!! Fantastic benches! What an awesome Dad!❤ That transmission was work deserving of a nice cold one! Very nice cribbage board! wicked stool! Lot of wins this episode!
Big thank you to your dad for the wonderful job on the bench.
It's sad tho, i don't live near you, so i can't help in my spare time (pipewelder). you seems like a very nice guy, so i think i had no problem to call you a friend. Best regards from Northland, Sweden.
Work benches look great! Shout out to Twin Sticks Dad! Oh and great picture of you two as well.
G'day Mark,,
Ive used oven cleaner for years on my bikes,
it moves the greasy heavy stuff way better ,,,i use a brush to help break up the sludge & get into the hard to reach places,then leave it for 5 mins to work ....or longer if its needed.
DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANER ON ALUMINIUM....
The over cleaner is a very strong alkali, and will quickly turn alloy dull ,,,or black .
Respect

those bushings were either radiator supports or charge air, if you ever have to remove the driveline you will kick your own butt for not using antiseeze in the yokes, also dont forget if a trucker brought it a mechanic fixed it to get it there.
Cool video Mark. Always look forward to Thursdays as I never know what I'm gonna see - LBL, Snowman, Duke or On The Hunt videos.
That’s crazy to me y’all are getting snow. It’s been in the 70s here in Georgia. Going into the 80s this weekend
Another great video Twinsticks! The right tool for the right job makes such a difference along with a little improvising.I have such a huge respect for our commercial drivers and what they do.love the end comment it’s so true .you inspire us all and thank you for that ! 🇨🇦👍
Man if only everyone had cellphones and social media 25+ years ago now when I grew up in the trucking industry and did stuff like this daily from age 10-31yrs old. I would have loved to document doing the resto on my late father's '70 White Freightliner COE w/ Big Cam 4.
Mark
You have a great shop. You and your Dad did a great job on your work benches.
Awesome truck
You gotta put a song and artist of all the songs you put on your videos! Lol
You guys have gotten a lot of snow there, here in Saskatoon there is no more snow on the ground.
Great video Twin Sticks!!
Paint the workbench battle ship gray. I believe it is Benjamin More “Deck gray”
enjoyed the video, as a retired old school truck driver up to your north east by the Cold Lake, you're a true trucker. take care sir
very good Congratulations
I think if you would put those rubber bushings in some really hot water for a while then shove them in the opening for the mount they would go no problem
good old Red Solvine classic truck driving music. nice workbench
i use oven cleaner on my turbo veins nothing comes close to it,and your dads a wizard at carpentry,love the background songs,is it johnny cash,jerry reed etc.
Beautiful Brownie! Great job Mark.
Good job Mark! I had a chuckle at the '' this job is not fun'' while putting the shaft in! I know the feel! I get to pull them out on the side of the road in the prairie winters ! LOL tow truck life ! I love the vids!
Lovely video again mate. The trucks are gonna be a thing of beauty. Can’t believe the snow you got in April 😩 lovely having the garage I bet. 10 days out 2 days in you can see red sovine inspired junior brown 😂 good luck fella stay safe. Regards from south London England 🏴
The oven cleaner works because it's a "caustic" formula. The degreaser is just a modified solvent.
You have to be careful with the oven cleaner on rubber and plastic parts and you have to, HAVE TO rinse the whole working area with water or the caustic chemicals will just keep eating away at whatever it can. If you can, get under there with a garden hose or pressure washer and flush anything that might be left over, especially on your hydraulic and airlines and any wiring you might have hit.
Good tip - thanks 👍
Wow a lot of work for one guy…..definitely young man work but you make it look easy…..cool video thanks
If you can get it hot the oven cleaner will work better. Maybe a shop heater.
Congrats Mark on ur rebuilt transmission and putting it on without braking a finger. lv ur videos.
Hard work pays off nice job
Good morning everyone ✌️👍
So--Mark- didn't see anything about a new garage...but it looks nice.
Hey Mark just love them big trucks keep up the great work !! And a big shout out too DAD thanks dad !!! Creeper , hoist crane more equipment on the way !! Shop is really coming around !
Hey Mark if you watch one of Flannel Philip's recent videos;where herebuilds his 3 chime train horns on his 1997 Kenworth W900L,you will see why having the 3 chime train horns mounted somewhere underneath the truck;is not really a great idea in the long run.The train horns he has on his 1997 Kenworth W900L,are the real deal;they are Nathan Airchime P3 train horns,brand new they are not cheap.He bought them from a friend who is a model railroader;who has connections to friends that used to work in the Union Pacific rail yards,that used to be employees at Union Pacific and took the 3 chime horns;off of the roof of an old decommissioned GE EMD GP40 locomotive that was being scrapped.He recently rebuilt his train horns;with new diaphragms,
o rings,stainless steel bolts & washers,because they were full of dirt & grime from the road;from how he had them mounted on the frame rail on his truck,with the trumpets facing the road.After he rebuilt the train horns,he mounted them to the cross member underneath the 36 inch coffin sleeper of his truck;so they will stay clean in the long run.I think you should think about maybe mounting the train horns onto the deck plate,or on the roof cap of the truck.I have seen TH-cam videos of some working show quality trucks;with 3 chime train horns mounted on the roof cap.The problem is;how do you mount them to the roof cap without it leaking whenever it rains?.
The Nathan 3 chime train horns Flannel Phillip has on his truck,has room for two more horns;which would make them 5 chime horns.
Mark I thought the transmission guys said not to use synthetic oil.... better check the tape
Nice job
Here In Michigan… I hate the snow so much. Looking to move the family down south.
Great job . Thanks again Mark.
Those are some nice looking work benches, kudos to you and your Dad for a job well done! Also, kudos for getting that auxiliary trans back in place under the Pete. That did not look like an easy project! Thanks for another great episode, Mark!
Great video Mark. Awsum work benches really Awsum 👍👍
You are the man, I think you have the best u tube show,I enjoy your weekly shows and makes me want to do a project on aR model Mack some day!!! Thanks for the show.
Awesome Dad and family.
I always look forward to your Thursday morning updates, thanks Mark! Cheers from Katy, Texas.
thanks mark, good value as always!!!!
