Come on people start subscribing this guy is putting out more quality step by step instructions videos than anyone else and this rig is just straight badass!!
This guy is like a few other channels on YT where actual work is done so he doesn't get ALL the truck loving population just the ones that either work on them or want to learn how. The channels with big sub counts do goofy kid shit and are basically like bob the builder channels. They have other people do the real work and then do cosmetic stuff themselves and the truck never sees real commercial use. Ezra is not one of those, coming from someone that does this too, he's the real deal. Honestly I have no idea why anybody would start a YT channel nowadays with all the BS, especially when fools like whistling weezul and Broooce Wilson are considered "truck" channels. But Ezra deserves a few hundred thousand so at least it'll pay for his time filming.
Foul language is a vital part of any transmission or clutch install. And if you are doing both it can really get colorful. You even have the tendency to create new and unheard of before ones...
Retired mechanic here Ezra. Anytime I forget how good it is to be retired I'm going to re-watch this video. You sir, are a superstar in my book ! P.S.- love the clutch jack, great idea !
Love the videos!!! Great trick to removing/installing the clutch assembly!!! Glad to hear I'm not the only one to use the 'persuasive ' word approach when things don't go right!!!🤣
You don't need a retirement fund, truck drivers don't retire (how can you work if your retired). Ol'red is gonna be one sweet machine, your lucky to have her. Keep the shiney side up and the dirty side down driver.
I am not a person who ever comments on anyone's safety practices but I have done this under my truck and I was thinking same as you... no safety glasses!
Today I fought trying to hang a wall mount for a TV. Ezra is swapping out the transmission in his Peterbilt with the precision of a robot. You are a machine in your own right!
My boss asked me if I could handle an 18 speed. I said sure. 13, 15, 15 over. All the same I thought. He had bought a brand new 379 Pete. 1989. It was his personal truck, but he only drove it from the dealership. I took a load of coffee beans to Nashville, didn't sleep a wink, all night. Nervous about the truck. 18 speed is a simple, wonderful transmission. My favorite. Enjoyed the video! Great job !
Bro. I gotta tell you, you are one of the most knowledgeable techs I have seen and you seem to be young for such vast skills, you must have grown up in garage
You need a set of 6-8“ long line up bolts to put your flywheel on and off. Same for the clutch and transmission. Using those line up bolts make it so much easier. Also you can’t get your fingers stuck under the flywheel in the bell housing.
I agree 100% my Uncle taught me that nifty lil Trick many years ago. I keep long Line Up Bolts for about every big Truck Job (Rear Ends, Power Dividers, Trans, etc) in my Toolbox, and treat them like they are the Holy Grail.i never let anyone use them, borrow them, etc. If I even catch anyone looking at them, I am on them like white on rice. Lol Their not the easiest Bolts in the world to find.
@@hankclingingsmith8707 what you just seen took a couple of weeks, just like a hunting video, it's the eleventh day and we think we know the pattern the elk are traveling this morning, yeah it's a big job
What a great installation you preformed by your self. I have learned so much just by watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your passion on the rebuild of the 359.
I love watching you keep your rigs restored and in good shape. I'm an old ND native living in Northern Montana now. Please wear some goggles under things. I had a hole cup of rust fall into my eyes and a nasty trip to the eye doc. Keep them coming. Oh .. and I always screw my nuts back on so I don't lose them. 🤪
Good lord man we know you can fix anything mechanical by now but putting that trans back in by yourself at least one time phone a friend brother that kind of weight and lining things up no wonder you turned the camera off 🤣 excellent work as usual everyone should share the heck out of this we need to get you more subs definitely one of my favorite channels on TH-cam!
Another excellent video, clutch adjustment video you made save my ass, sure would be nice to hang out with you in the garage. Glad you listen to excellent music, some of these trucker videos with the hip-hop music, it's just not natural, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really do appreciate it.
Beautiful job on this. I'm in the middle of swapping a Spicer 5 speed out for an 8LL behind my little DT466 in a dump truck and found your channel. Great find and you have a new subscriber!
I always look forward to Saturday mornings working on Old Red. Nice video! You had to play Casey Jones, as I’m getting ready to go to work and run a train.
The thought of owning one of these trucks terrified me due to the logistics, but thanks to this channel it all makes sense. Me now: 😑 You don't scare me anymore Truck: 😶
What a good job mate. You’re a first class mechanic fella. Really good to watch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Regards from south London England 🏴
Never used a jack to remove a 14" clutch before but that jack would have come in handy for all the 15" clutches I've done. I started typing this while watching and realized your swapping over to a 15. Our alignment tool was an old input shaft with the main gear spline cut off and a 1/2 bolt welded on to make a removable t-handle. Most of the trucks we worked on were used in off road heavy construction, lots of dump and cement, 24" rubber tires, and I'm not talking about the 24.5 they have today I'm talking old school, huge Hendrix and Mack camel back susp. double and triple frame rails. And we didn't have a mag drill so if you were adding a tool box to the side you were leaning into a drill for awhile. Great music! Good luck!
I own a few trucks and can really appreciate the amount of difficult work you get done by yourself !!! Great learning videos !! Thanks and keep them coming !
Great step by step explanation and trials tribulations of North Dakota logistics in winter . Home stretch now , get a good seat cover for your 4 legged copilot almost.
Отличный парень! Простой без понтов на камеру и тд. Всё бы такие были водители! Удачи в дороге! Береги руки и подстилай под себя когда под машиной лежишь! Здоровье важнее!
I’ve been around trucks for 51 years! I’ve owned two KW’s and one Pete. Your videos are the best I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to find out about your engine rebuild
Only did it once - pulled my input shaft out before knocking out the wooden blocks holding the throw-out bearing in released position. Anyone who's done it knows what I'm talking about. Nice upgrade from a deep dish 14 clutch to a 15.5 - didn't see any vibration spacers when you pulled the original clutch. Plus for those who don't know, when you cut a deep dish flywheel not only do you cut the inside surface you cut the flange also. Great video - thanks bringing us along!
Exellent work again, another quality video of yours. Eaton twin spilt, proper gearbox, non of the rubbish in todays trucks. I drive a volvo automatic 😬 over here. Looking forward to the next one feller 👍
It's nice to work on something you don't have to raise off the ground....I always hated doing car transmissions. But man, you make that look easy muscling those half ton parts around! Excellent tutorial. 👍
Ezra. Great video. I get worried sometimes when you are working alone with such heavy items. Loved the music. Can't wait to see the next video. Stay Safe. Be careful installing or repair work on your trucks.
Once again................. very very entertaining an knowledgable ... Like taking classes every weekend.... Excellent job..... Wish i had a garage like yourself... have to wait till spring/summer to get started on my 97 Int'l eagle.... accumulating parts though .... had to make sure i obtained insurance first ... some are saying my truck was too old... didnt want to waste money right .... Bsafe
It's not a big deal, just a lot of work and it seems to go faster than you think it would, your whole body hurts when done, I drive truck 90% of the time and wrench 10% I love wrenching and my body loves driving
He has the finance, coz he does the work himself. I got my doc and dpf cleaned from a truck stop. Yes I did it myself. The fine folks that cleaned it, were mobile. Next day I got the filters back.
I like the clutch jack! 🙂👍 Thats a great idea! Boy is that reman transmission beautiful 😍 not a speck of dirt or grime. Hopefully it will last you for years without any major problems 🔧
Good video as always. A tip my old man taught me- Always slide the clutch discs on and off the tranny input shaft a few times on the floor. It makes sure there's no burrs and kind of lapps them together. Then you can be 100% confident it'll all slide together smooth in the truck.
Another great informational video from one of the best. You really are the man bud! Great stuff here as always. Thank your for keeping up your real content. Keep truckin! Really doesn’t get to much better than this
I'm an ASE Certified Mastertech and I work on cars and trucks. I think what your doing just made me feel better about my career choices. Although everything I touch is usually blocked by 5-6 things but i'd rather take everything out to remove one part than have one part weigh 200lbs
Wow you sure make things look easy I've rolled around beat bang a lot of bad words then go for a walk take a break then come back and seems to go better I like your clutch Jack set up never would have thought of that but no now if I ever need to do this again but I usually was on dirt doing this so put plywood down to roll Jack on but you stay safe , stay healthy , stay rolling
Great Video, i am amazed that you carried this out on your own, well done. It is also a pleasure to see someone using a torque wrench, rather than others who say "torqued to factory spec" with an impact gun in their hand!
Is there anything this guy cant do ? He’s a wealth of knowledge !
Right?
@@waltersway3889 😂
I bet he couldn't figure out what is wrong with my weed whacker.
Looks like he pulled all his hair out doing this stuff, it's a lot of work, it's not a big deal, just a lot of work, bigger the truck bigger the tools
Ezrider call her Ruby.

So true!!
Facts
Just what the Doctor ordered Old Red on a Saturday afternoon😊😊 Mind the Wifes Airhorn
Retired mechanic here Ezra. Anytime I forget how good it is to be retired I'm going to re-watch this video. You sir, are a superstar in my book ! P.S.- love the clutch jack, great idea !
Great job always amazed by your knowledge! Really enjoy your father's music too.
Glad you enjoy it!
Separates the men from the boys. This man came from awesome roots and i can tell trucking and hard works in his blood!
Love the videos!!! Great trick to removing/installing the clutch assembly!!! Glad to hear I'm not the only one to use the 'persuasive ' word approach when things don't go right!!!🤣
I thought I was going to learn a new language lol
I like this video’s. And that you doing this all alone! Chapeau (Dutch watcher)
You make it look easy ... my hats off to you sir
It's not a job that's hard in the sense of being complicated but everything is so big and heavy makes it a tough job.
@@Ezrider359 haha yeah but I probably won’t tackle it until I have a shop as I’m betting it would be even tougher on gravel 😂
That look at the camera @0,33 when the flitch hits the deck cracks me up every time. Great stuff fitting the new ‘box.
In Italy it's 14.23 pm and we have a cold and rainy weather, nothing better than a coffee and your videos 👍🏻 have a nice weekend
very interesting, the flywheel action I got a bit afraid for the fingers, great video. Hello from Sweden
Hello from Louisiana usa
always interesting video wish I could have such a red monster
You don't need a retirement fund, truck drivers don't retire (how can you work if your retired). Ol'red is gonna be one sweet machine, your lucky to have her. Keep the shiney side up and the dirty side down driver.
Great video as always...Thanks...But...no goggles when under the truck?...it was cool till I had to get the piece of metal taken out of my eye...lol.
I am not a person who ever comments on anyone's safety practices but I have done this under my truck and I was thinking same as you... no safety glasses!
I’ve been watching you and twin sticks good content
Same here
Me too
And me.
Not me, ole red only.!
@@dirtbike9003 Nah man, trust all of us, if you like Ol Red, youll really enjoy watching Mark with Twin Sticks Garage! Take a chance.

Wow the fact that he's doing this by himself ...impressive ....
All I can say is "that's the real One man gang right there"....awesome job ..👍👍👊

Man you are a worker I don’t know how you do it with out help stay safe
Big heavy job there Ezra , looking great , and like you say you don’t want to visit the box for another 10 years , great work my friend .
Ooooh grey knob! Great job. Watch your back with those flywheels!!! Going to drive like a new truck!
I was cringing, while watching.
Beautiful job on this. I'm in the middle of swapping a Spicer 5 speed out for an 8LL behind my little DT466 in a dump truck and found your channel. Great find and you have a new subscriber!
Looking good, Ezra. Don't worry about the choice words. Sometimes petting it, and calling it pretty names ain't enough.
I always look forward to Saturday mornings working on Old Red. Nice video!
You had to play Casey Jones, as I’m getting ready to go to work and run a train.
Not high on cocaine? LOL
The best darn DIY resto. job on TH-cam

The thought of owning one of these trucks terrified me due to the logistics, but thanks to this channel it all makes sense.
Me now: 😑 You don't scare me anymore

After a full day of #wrenchlaxing a cold one and a new Old Red video! That's what I call a good day! 👍🍺
You make it look easy! That 18 speed will be such an improvement over the 13, it's nice to be able to split any gear.
I own a few trucks and can really appreciate the amount of difficult work you get done by yourself !!! Great learning videos !! Thanks and keep them coming !
Great job guy. It'll all be worth it when your grabbing gears with a load on the ol boy. God bless and keep it between the ditches👍🇺🇸
Great video Ezra, I really like your videos and Twin Stick Garage👍
Hopefully they can sit down and have a few beers, when the border opens for the rest of us.
Great step by step explanation and trials tribulations of North Dakota logistics in winter . Home stretch now , get a good seat cover for your 4 legged copilot almost.
@ad izzle yes
359 is easily my favorite truck ever.
You sir are one hard ass worker. Great job. Watching this made my back hurt.
He has the courage to tackle an job,he’s great man.
Great job and you did it on your own on a concrete floor, old Red has certainly change from the time it rolled into the shed. John

Wow! You are a badass mechanic! Had to watch all the way to the end

Great Video, i am amazed that you carried this out on your own, well done. It is also a pleasure to see someone using a torque wrench, rather than others who say "torqued to factory spec" with an impact gun in their hand!
There's places for both methods but knowing when tq specs are more critical and when there not is important.
I love it and you are doing awesome and thanks for sharing!!! I can't wait until the next video!!!
I really enjoy your video thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
