Been watching for almost 4 years and somehow missed this one. I've heard all the jokes about the mirror all these years and it was fun to finally watch the real thing! Thanks Mike and Mike! Lee
Hey Mike, I had a truck like that and I use was a transmission funnel I just had to be sure that when I had to add oil it was by the shop was the problem. Thanks so much for making the GMC dump the star of the show today from pre-check all the way through the day. I like your exhaust I could never figure out why the truck sounded so good when you dumped it. I thoroughly enjoy your Channel from graduating high school at 18 until my retirement at 65. The work I did basically what yours is using the same equipment except I did not have a skid steer. So I very much enjoy what you put on TH-cam thanks so much it's like going to work every morning when I watch your Channel without having any of the problems or breakdowns thanks again keep up the awesome work and willing to share here on TH-cam ldr
13:30 Reminds me of the small country roads I frequently found myself on when sight seeing in Germany. I also learned that many of the roads were farm roads and I didn't pay attention to the signs. WHOOPS! Fortunately the locals understood that I was American and getting lost was normal. LMFAO! They did appreciate that I loved how beautiful the country was and getting lost was worth the scenery.
A funnel with a hose would help you to overcome the oil fill issue on the C8500, I know the engineer's have it out for the general mechanics and truck drivers.
Oh Kleeman, it's been too long since your last loader confessional. Do three heeping scoops with the loader and all will be forgiven. AND call him Mike, because no one is perfect. 😇
Poor guy, he was in such a good mood before the accident. Good news is the door is fine, just Capt. Kleeman's pride is hurt a bit. Work safe guys! Doug@ the "ranch"
Mike , In the trucking and equipment industry things happen . if a person doesn't screw up then they ain't working . At least Captain Kleeman removed the mirror to go get a new one to replace the one he broke . No one is PERFECT , Mike . Another thing I noticed , Captain rolled the truck window up while loading to keep from getting loose dirt from getting in the cab , you didn't or at least we didn't see it or you edited out .
Omg, laughing so hard, sorry Mike Kleeman, but it was funny, but sorry you had a miss happ , I guess it’s no worse than my spelling, lmao, I know Dirt Perfect will have fun with you on that one, have a good one Captain, lol😎😎👍👍👍🍮🍮☀️☀️☀️😂😂😂😂😂
Why do all your trucks sound so dang good????? Of all the "youtube" dump trucks, I think yours is the most versatile and most useful, it's just the right size for almost everything.
Last mirror I lost was in Chicago waiting to make a left, a Coca Cola went by on the right and cleared it off, fun driving a big truck with no right mirror.
Mike I noticed on the red truck that the top radiator hose has been rubbing on that pipe just under it, maybe a job for the captain to put a shield between them before something happens
I always blur my plate when I am selling anthing. I saw someone else do it, and I thought..."What do they know that I don't?" The last thing I want to do is think for myself and make rational decissions supported by common sense. I vote the same way.
That license plate hiding is a joke cracks me up to . Seem's like you guys got a lot of 🐐🐐 path road's 😂 An poor Kleeman , go to harbor freight get a stick on mirror 😁😁
The Kleeman Konfessional could be a weekly skit. Hope it is more than broken stuff and mistakes, but entertaining none the less. The captain is in the HOT seat. That seat looks mighty bouncy, btw. You get luxury seats in that GMC? Air ride!-
I worked for company when I got out of high school who had a driver roll a truck over. The owners response was let's fix it. A week or two later another driver tore a mirror off, he fired that guy. Why? The rollover was paid by the insurance. The mirror came out of the owners pocket. So, what's Kleemans fate? 😁
I have made a extension on a funnel of clear hose that reached down to the oil fill hole. Funnel sits up in the open and is easy to get to , Hope this helps.
I feel your pain on that oil fill that's why I have a metal funnel with about 2 ft of garden hose J-B Weld it to the end of it kleenman must have got his road-grading skills from you
I think I had your funnel once, when I was in high school I asked my mom to pickup a funnel so I could put some oil in the lawnmower, she came home with one that had a 4’ long hose attached to it. I’d also like to second the rumor I heard on TH-cam that diesel breaks up road millings, I’m sure in this one case it will make them harder.
Hey DP has anyone ever complained about the rear view mirror on the windshield missing? No knowing it’s useless as covering your license plate. 🤣 I don’t get the license plate blurring ether 🤣
great video--we heard we was to start calling ya --Dr. Dirt Perfect--i kinda like that-has a good ring to it. ha!!! u have any idea where i heard that from?lol
@@DirtPerfect well I don't do problems I do solutions, I hand the same problem with filling my car transmission fluid different situations same problem
Mike... do I see an oil fill extension build vid in my future? Captain... I am amazed... you fixed the mirror before you broke it.... I know because I saw you do both!
Yeah they dont use common sense when designing stuff cause they don't have to work on it or do general maintenance on them. Neat idea on the exhaust but need to figure away so stuff doesn't stick to it. Keep up the great videos
If you think it’s hard to get oil it now try having a plow harness on the front and only having a small trap door on each side of the hood to add fluids and do your pre trip. At the end you show that you would be a great person to work for.
Spray that exhaust pipe with Diesel fuel next time you haul millings. Heard a guy on TH-cam saying that it was good for that keeps stuff from sticking. :)
As a retire truck mechanic I work for a oem dealer. Will I told an engineer that had came from the factory to show us how to fix a clutch issue. We had all ready found a way to fix the issue. He said that it will not work. That didn't set to well with us and I told him the problem is that they screw around all day and design these trucks on their lunch breaks. all must got fired put the boss agreed with me
I’m shocked you haven’t fixed that fill hose for the oil!! Probably use a old suction hose with a few clamps on it to bring it up to where you can fill it easy
I'm a firm believer engineers should have to service and repair their design for 5 years before it's put into production we'd go back to things being like working on 70s and 80s vehicles
I relate the broken mirror thing to a cowboy on a horse. Why does the cowboy wear two spurs? If he spurs one side of the horse and the horse goes, why does he need two spurs. Captain Kleeman, you only need one mirror. Lol
OOPS!!!.. Hey!!>>> Captain Kleeman. If it makes ya feel any better. I backed a Fire Engine into a tree once... :p .. Left a nice dent in the rear bumper & killed the tree.
You need a funnel to go in the funnel. The people who design this stuff had to use them there would be many changes. The only problem is they don't care.
A foot long pipe to the top of the engine come on engineers come on and accihappen as long as no one is hurt i mirror or equipment can be replace but freinds cannot i use freind as Kleeman is more than just an employee more bosses need to take note from u bud on how u treat ur workers treat them with kind respect they will work hard and respect u and ur equipment
The reason for blurring out license plates is that it can create legal issues if you publish. Not your own plates necessarily however someone else's. God bless
If you are selling a vehicle on the net or a card in a shop window your number plate would be open to someone (criminal) to copy it & put it on an other vehicle & say it was just of a sale add.. That’s why I think 🤔
Been watching for almost 4 years and somehow missed this one. I've heard all the jokes about the mirror all these years and it was fun to finally watch the real thing! Thanks Mike and Mike! Lee
Another video I hadn't seen. I'd heard about the mirror but never saw the deed. I could feel the remorse in the Capt's voice!!!!!
lol
Mike, you were spot on about blurring out the licenses plate !!
Kleeman cracks me up! 🤣🤣 love the confessional booth too!
He is a mess
Dirt Perfect 🤣yep

Thanks really appreciate the kind words and feedback thanks for watching
My Uncle has some old school metal funnels with the extra long flexible necks (about 50 years old) that would've made it so much easier. LOL!
Thank you and have a great week.

Next time Kleeman just tell him, "rubbing is racing" State law!!!!🤣🤣🤣😍😍
I got it, I got it.....I got it, classic Kleeman!!
A funnel with a hose would help you to overcome the oil fill issue on the C8500, I know the engineer's have it out for the general mechanics and truck drivers.
Agree but not the point
Well on the bright side you ain't got to worry about that branch no more
I keep hearing about this and now I got to see 👀 it.
Oh Kleeman, it's been too long since your last loader confessional. Do three heeping scoops with the loader and all will be forgiven. AND call him Mike, because no one is perfect. 😇
Poor guy, he was in such a good mood before the accident. Good news is the door is fine, just Capt. Kleeman's pride is hurt a bit.
Work safe guys!
Doug@ the "ranch"
lol yes glade it was just the mirror
Oh poor kleeman one job one branch one mirror 🤣🤣 thanks for the video keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍
lol thanks
We use to have a 55 gal. barrel of oil and a hand pump with a six foot hose when dealing with having to change oil or topping off.
Dam that truck sounded really good comeing down the road
😁
Sounds like a Detroit engine
Mike , In the trucking and equipment industry things happen . if a person doesn't screw up then they ain't working . At least Captain Kleeman removed the mirror to go get a new one to replace the one he broke . No one is PERFECT , Mike . Another thing I noticed , Captain rolled the truck window up while loading to keep from getting loose dirt from getting in the cab , you didn't or at least we didn't see it or you edited out .
A long piece of heater hose on the end of the funnel will help...for the oil...
Omg, laughing so hard, sorry Mike Kleeman, but it was funny, but sorry you had a miss happ , I guess it’s no worse than my spelling, lmao, I know Dirt Perfect will have fun with you on that one, have a good one Captain, lol😎😎👍👍👍🍮🍮☀️☀️☀️😂😂😂😂😂
Why do all your trucks sound so dang good????? Of all the "youtube" dump trucks, I think yours is the most versatile and most useful, it's just the right size for almost everything.
I agree works fest for what we do for sure
Captain you need to be careful of those hungry branches, they will bite the mirror and crunch it before you know it. 😂😂😂😂
finally the iconic mirror episode
Last mirror I lost was in Chicago waiting to make a left, a Coca Cola went by on the right and cleared it off, fun driving a big truck with no right mirror.
Lol yes it sucks
Captain Kleeman's going to have to watch out he might get that coveted CRASH title.
Mike I noticed on the red truck that the top radiator hose has been rubbing on that pipe just under it, maybe a job for the captain to put a shield between them before something happens
Air cleaner bracket is broke have one ordered thanks for looking out for me tho much appreciated 😁
The ole dump truck sounds good, clever exhaust placement
Thanks
I always blur my plate when I am selling anthing. I saw someone else do it, and I thought..."What do they know that I don't?" The last thing I want to do is think for myself and make rational decissions supported by common sense. I vote the same way.
lol 😂
If mike hadn’t mentioned the low branch, it wouldn’t have been a problem! Lol
🤷♂️😂😂😁
LMFAO! Mike totally jinxed Kleeman! 😂🤣
That license plate hiding is a joke cracks me up to . Seem's like you guys got a lot of 🐐🐐 path road's 😂 An poor Kleeman , go to harbor freight get a stick on mirror 😁😁
lol yup
Captain K didn't "rip off" that mirror. He smashed it. TOTALLY different!
what kind of weight is that 8500 designed to tow empty?
The Kleeman Konfessional could be a weekly skit. Hope it is more than broken stuff and mistakes, but entertaining none the less. The captain is in the HOT seat. That seat looks mighty bouncy, btw. You get luxury seats in that GMC? Air ride!-
It is air ride needs a new shock 😝
Great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
Thanks for watching
@@DirtPerfect no problem

you need a funnel for your funnel.
getting brave with the placement of that camera, but nice shots.
Thanks only lost one so far 😬

Cool vid Mike!
Thanks
Mike could you put a hose on your oil fill that your plug will fit in
Cant you see if a petrol filler tube fit on the oil can?
Nice looking at old v
What do they say if you break a mirror? How many years bad luck?
I think I had your funnel once, when I was in high school I asked my mom to pickup a funnel so I could put some oil in the lawnmower, she came home with one that had a 4’ long hose attached to it.

Lol yes wade he is a mess 😜
Hey you could get a small funnel and tape a small hose that will fit in the fill hole and then you can fill it from outside
Yup not the point why to they make it that hard to fill 🤷♂️😜
@@DirtPerfect well I don't do problems I do solutions, I hand the same problem with filling my car transmission fluid different situations same problem
Mike... do I see an oil fill extension build vid in my future?
Captain... I am amazed... you fixed the mirror before you broke it.... I know because I saw you do both!
Lol
You need to show him this video it really shows his work he did fixing the road up to the top soil lol
well sometime life happens haha, done that a few times myself in back allys with them big trucks, love all the toys mate
it makes me laugh when they cover the plates in for sale ads too lol
Lol I know right
I believe you need to change the hyd oil high pressure filter and change to a thicker viscosity oil. Your pump is screaming
It’s all good trust me
Im at a loss for words.... “you have a hard time hitting the hole...then prematurely blow your oil all over the place” 😉😂. Just messing with you Mike
😝😂😂😂😂😜 I have missed you the last few videos 😜😁
Dirt Perfect im watching them....just didnt leave a comment. Somehow I got writers block 🤦♂️🙄
Good to hear I'm not the only one thinking it!
D C 🤣🤣
sounds like the ole IT-28 could use some hydraulic oil. The cab does make a nice confessional booth.
Old gear pump just noise 🤷♂️
Yeah they dont use common sense when designing stuff cause they don't have to work on it or do general maintenance on them. Neat idea on the exhaust but need to figure away so stuff doesn't stick to it. Keep up the great videos
Thanks
My uncle used to say that you go to college so you can pay other people to change your oil.
Still climbing through , still thumbs up 2 times
Thanks
SWEET VID
Thanks
If you think it’s hard to get oil it now try having a plow harness on the front and only having a small trap door on each side of the hood to add fluids and do your pre trip.
At the end you show that you would be a great person to work for.
😡😁
Oh it could have been worse.....Kleeman could have backed over their Septic Field.
lol this is true
Spray that exhaust pipe with Diesel fuel next time you haul millings. Heard a guy on TH-cam saying that it was good for that keeps stuff from sticking. :)
🤔😂😂😂😂😂
As a retire truck mechanic I work for a oem dealer. Will I told an engineer that had came from the factory to show us how to fix a clutch issue. We had all ready found a way to fix the issue.

Lol worked ant a dealer for a while myself
Do you charge extra for the weeds??
Nope free to a good home
Mirror mirror on the truck did i break?ooh what bad luck,now i have to mend it,and hope mike is ok i,ll get some spanner, its just another day.🤣🤣
Must have had diesel fuel on them millings lolololol
Mikey Waltrip shifting right there folks .
😜
The licence plate thing drives me nuts. They blur the plate and then give you their phone number. With a phone number anyone with Google can find you.
Lol I know right 🤷♂️😜
You might be able to use some exhaust tubing to extend that oil filler or make a hose to go on the oil jug.
Yup that’s a thought
Instead of one funnel,use 2 funnels and while your out purchasing a funnel now it somehow looked like u need another Mirror!😂😂
😂😂
I’m shocked you haven’t fixed that fill hose for the oil!! Probably use a old suction hose with a few clamps on it to bring it up to where you can fill it easy
That was funny kleeman
Get a weed burner and heat the fillings to get them out of the corner then build a shield around it to keep it from happening again
They come right out with a shovel
Them c7 are Peta to fill in most applications
I'm a firm believer engineers should have to service and repair their design for 5 years before it's put into production we'd go back to things being like working on 70s and 80s vehicles
Is there a reason there are so many ponds in your area?
Live stock
That's a two funnal system truck?
Yup 😝
I relate the broken mirror thing to a cowboy on a horse. Why does the cowboy wear two spurs? If he spurs one side of the horse and the horse goes, why does he need two spurs. Captain Kleeman, you only need one mirror. Lol
Lol
Capon ya a classic lmao
Have to keep hitting the like button to cover the cost of Kleemans mistakes
Lol thanks
On a more positive note, you won't have to worry about that branch anymore.
Lol true
OOPS!!!.. Hey!!>>> Captain Kleeman. If it makes ya feel any better. I backed a Fire Engine into a tree once... :p .. Left a nice dent in the rear bumper & killed the tree.
lol not good 😁
11:54 You sure know how to get a guy all hot and bothered, don't you! I think you know all about them non-gps-friendly addresses lol!
Lol 😝
Lol your not going to let him live that down lol
Nope 😁
You need to rename him Captain Klumsy
I like that dump truck. You need a piece heater hose clamped on your funnel.
Yup and thanks
Speak to captain Kleeman on how to successfully top up the oil using two funnels.
You need a funnel to go in the funnel. The people who design this stuff had to use them there would be many changes. The only problem is they don't care.
Amen what a joke 😂
I thought I made a mistake once, but I was mistaken.
😂
I'm with ya on the license plate that's the dumbest crap ever
I know 😂😂
The loader Pump making a lot of noise sounds like it's starving for oil or air in the system. ...
Old gear pump still works 🤷♂️
A foot long pipe to the top of the engine come on engineers come on and accihappen as long as no one is hurt i mirror or equipment can be replace but freinds cannot i use freind as Kleeman is more than just an employee more bosses need to take note from u bud on how u treat ur workers treat them with kind respect they will work hard and respect u and ur equipment
i am a later sub, why is the exhaust stack in the bed?
Yes , I couldn’t tell if the exhaust heated the bed floor or if it was just some great engineering 🤔

The reason for blurring out license plates is that it can create legal issues if you publish. Not your own plates necessarily however someone else's. God bless
At least he did confess to damaging the mirror.
Lol this is true
Doctor perfect do you know where that came from
Lol yup
Hey Mike
Hey
absolutely ridiculous oil filler.
If you are selling a vehicle on the net or a card in a shop window your number plate would be open to someone (criminal) to copy it & put it on an other vehicle & say it was just of a sale add..
That’s why I think 🤔
Look on the other side of the engine… My Kodiak had to oil fills
Hmm will do
Mine was a 4500 though so it just had a Duramax motor
Also I agree 100% with the license plate thing… I’ve been saying that for myself for years
Only one tree was harmed in the making of this video.....better report that mirror to Officer Hoover. 👮♂️🤦♂️
😂
