BTDT a few times myself. Was never a fun job, but when young didn't really matter. But now at 72 I would have to pay to have it done. One thing for sure there's No teasing a button clutch it's on or off. When it rains it pours, story of my life. Really enjoy you, 806, and mosyinmoses videos !!
Mate I can feel, see the anger/frustration/pain in your voice and face ! Don't let it get to you, Life is a journey full of ups and downs Hopefully its time for the ups to be comming soon Take Care Mate Best Wishes from Tasmania
Watching you makes my back hurt , but I got a lot of respect for you. You remind me of my uncle's. 3 trucks to make one. Young ppl have no clue what it takes to make a truck run.
Brother you are hard core I would never tackle that what a mess Most people have no Idea what it takes to make it in the truckin biz you got it goin on wish you all the best to you and your family Just saved thousands of dollars Gitter Done
That is hard to believe that Milwaukee wouldn’t do it. I use a half inch Milwaukee to take my wheels on and off truck and trailer. I torque them at 450. That was a heck of a job. Wish I could have helped you. I just changed my clutch and flywheel last year. You’re a hard working man. That is all tuff work. Most owner operators. Don’t even know how to set up a clutch. Or grease a truck. Take care. Great video as always.
Thank man! I’d took some help in the deal! Man I’d why that one bolt was so tight. I know I torqued those evenly back in 17 the last time I had it apart.
I’m thinkin you have he same luck as I do,but good to see a man that stays on it . Thanks so much for your videos keep them coming they are really enjoyed.
It’s all good. I had some extra time waiting on parts and did several little things that made the truck better. Little by little this truck is getting better
My 96 W900L is "Take it Easy," and my 79 k100 Cabover is "Long Way Home" My buddy went through the same thing. He's almost 70 and doing what you just did in his drive-way. He tells me every day to save my money and let someone else handle it because you're going to wear your body down. Hell my other buddy is in his 60s too and just did a rear end by himself. Little scrawny guy. Sure is a motivation but I like to make sure it's being done right that's why I do it all lol.
Yeah man. I’ve got one uncle that quit because of his insurance got so high and he was 85 at the time. I’ve got another uncle that runs almost everyday and still does projects just like this. I figure I’ll be the same way. I think the key is trying to inject in the tools to make the heavy things easier.
Thanks Ed. Man I grew up in this and started fixing little things and got older and was able to learn how to do big things as I got older. But it’s like everything else it’s a continuous learning process
Repairs are costly. But there is an up side. It's fixed . You shouldn't have to worry about it for at least another 500.000 miles. Truck em up butter cup. That's my dad's saying.
@thedirtytrucker9633 lost time is just that, lost. Revenue, put in a few more hours some, some can be made up but not all. Been there. Retired now, I do not miss it at all. I have lived that dream, Now it's another chapter in life. Enjoy you sharing your experiences. Truck em up butter cup.
Great video you reminded me why I had a mechanic but I'm kind of back now I just have mild stutter now and shaking on my right arm constantly I'm glad to see you're pulling through I definitely like rough around the edges I can't remember what you said for the green truck what's another one of them stroke things have a great week my friend
Hey buddy. I’ve been so busy and finally slowed down for the comments! Man if I had a few running I’d have to have a mechanic! Diabolical is what I was thinking for the old green truck. Keep hanging in there man and stay strong!
Gerald that’s equivalent to open heart surgery brother. Glad you caught the problem but sorry you had to go through all that but it is what it is I suppose. Hope you have a good weekend.👍👍👍
Now THAT does not look fun at all. If you want a really good Lubricant to help loosing bolts buy some Kroil, that stuff will break any bolt loose... Love the Videos and can't wait to see the next. Keep on keepin on.. 👊 💯
Back in the day i changed my front diff on a 89 pete in snow storm in nebraska in my back yard lucky i was young put diff on the ground rolled it on my chest shoved it up in the axel a let out a big yahoo😂.
Well driver you get to save so much no gym Fee's the 379 exercise program yeah buddy . Be proud son be proud nice job ! Had me worried on that stuck Bolt ! Grease please at least a bit 👌🍁☮
I don't miss the days of having to tear trucks completely apart. You sir are one of the last of a dying breed. But when you don't wanna pay shop rates you sack the fuck up and dive in. And you sir definitely dove in
Thanks man. I hate paying a shop to do something I can do. I really don’t like most peoples work either. I always say if I want it half assed I’ll get half ass it myself😂
When somebody re Marries there x I always wonder that gallon of milk that spoiled tastes bad and when you pull it out later and it still tastes like crap. How in the world is that woman going to be any better
The life of an owner operator!!! Always turning wrenches been there done that!!!!! I always said what else would I do ! Fix it yourself if you want it done right
Hey check your vent tube on fuel tanks. If one is stopped up it will drain one tank and the other will be about full. Just a suggestion didn't know if that's it or not.
Yeah that was the first thing I did when I started running. I actually took the vents out and blew the vents them selves out. Idk what fixed it but new fuel lines and and new vent in the passenger tank fixed it
You are one of the hardest working owner operators I have ever seen you have my respect
Thanks Aaron!
Trucks looking good 👍👌
Thanks 👍

One thing for sure there's No teasing a button clutch it's on or off.

Really enjoy you, 806, and mosyinmoses videos !!
Thank you! I put an easy pedal back in there. A lot better now
Mate I can feel, see the anger/frustration/pain in your voice and face !
Don't let it get to you, Life is a journey full of ups and downs
Hopefully its time for the ups to be comming soon
Take Care Mate

Thank you! This project would have been better if I wasn’t sick. I honestly didn’t have a day of this project that I wanted to do it. I just had too.
Watching you makes my back hurt , but I got a lot of respect for you. You remind me of my uncle's. 3 trucks to make one. Young ppl have no clue what it takes to make a truck run.
Thanks man. It was a back breaker at times😂
I remember when you did the transmission on the 359. You and Martin I love your knowledge. Hang in there brother. Those names are spot on.
Thanks Dan!
Brother you are hard core I would never tackle that what a mess Most people have no Idea what it takes to make it in the truckin biz you got it goin on wish you all the best to you and your family Just saved thousands of dollars Gitter Done
Thanks man! I appreciate that
One helluva fight there, driver. Keep on keeping on. Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you!
Love the videos bud. Always make my day better. Keep the rubber side down and the wrenches from flying across the shop.
Thanks man!
Respect! Hang in there.
Thank you!
The clutch is probably ok. When the transmission was cocked input shaft moved the clutch disc's changing the Alignment
Oh no it busted the hub out of one of the disk. No big deal. Blessing in disguise. I want to put an Eaton ez pedal back in it
Luv the 359 & 379 LARGECARS

Another Good video, hate you have go thru all that, but you will know its fixed & what Ya got i reckon , Good Luck to Ya !!
It’s all good. I had some extra time waiting on parts and did several little things that made the truck better. Little by little this truck is getting better
In my opinion the 379 best looking truck ever so hopefully that will get you through this project it’s not easy or cheap being cool good luck
Thank you!
The oil and grease keeps it from rustin. 👍
Lots of new surprises on the 379,,
ONCE fixed it will be AWESOME!!!!! Lots of TIME & 💰💰💰💰💰💰💵💵💵💵💵💵💵
Oh yeah Scotty. One step at a time it’s getting better
Life and times of a O/O been there for 49 years ...

Not many guys left that drive it and fix it. How did you learn? Dad?
I agree real cool is timeless. Dig what you do sir.
Thanks Ed. Man I grew up in this and started fixing little things and got older and was able to learn how to do big things as I got older. But it’s like everything else it’s a continuous learning process
Repairs are costly. But there is an up side. It's fixed .
You shouldn't have to worry about it for at least another 500.000 miles.
Truck em up butter cup. That's my dad's saying.
They are costly. This wasn’t that costly. The down time and lost revenue is always the worst
@thedirtytrucker9633 lost time is just that, lost.
Revenue, put in a few more hours some, some can be made up but not all.
Been there. Retired now, I do not miss it at all.
I have lived that dream,
Now it's another chapter in life. Enjoy you sharing your experiences.
Truck em up butter cup.
Lost revenue definitely is a killer. Maybe one day I can retire like you have! Thanks for the comment
Name the green truck “tree grinder “ 😂😂 good luck driver a lot of work dam it
lol! Hopefully our tree days are over😂
Should name it second round or money pit.
Great video you reminded me why I had a mechanic but I'm kind of back now I just have mild stutter now and shaking on my right arm constantly I'm glad to see you're pulling through I definitely like rough around the edges I can't remember what you said for the green truck what's another one of them stroke things have a great week my friend
Hey buddy. I’ve been so busy and finally slowed down for the comments! Man if I had a few running I’d have to have a mechanic! Diabolical is what I was thinking for the old green truck. Keep hanging in there man and stay strong!
He didn't mean anything by the comments he just never had the time to do it nor understand it the mechanic
Gerald that’s equivalent to open heart surgery brother. Glad you caught the problem but sorry you had to go through all that but it is what it is I suppose. Hope you have a good weekend.👍👍👍
Thanks Raymond! It’s all good now brother
@@thedirtytrucker9633 👍👍👍
Now THAT does not look fun at all. If you want a really good Lubricant to help loosing bolts buy some Kroil, that stuff will break any bolt loose... Love the Videos and can't wait to see the next. Keep on keepin on.. 👊 💯
I use kroil and pb blaster. Can’t stand the smell of either one of them though😂
Been wondering about that shifter thought it was a 9 speed lol how yall been from Conway
We are all good. Just trying to keep these trucks running
Its all glamour being an owner operator 👍
100% man!
6 inch miter cut and large hole heat shields are priceless
I call my 1998 Peterbilt 379 extended hood money pit
Good name for this one too😂
Back in the day i changed my front diff on a 89 pete in snow storm in nebraska in my back yard lucky i was young put diff on the ground rolled it on my chest shoved it up in the axel a let out a big yahoo😂.
Man that sound pretty tough!!!
Well driver you get to save so much no gym Fee's the 379 exercise program yeah buddy . Be proud son be proud nice job ! Had me worried on that stuck Bolt ! Grease please at least a bit 👌🍁☮
Man yeah. I’ll be sore in places I didn’t know I had😂 no need for a gym for me
i thought trouble was a fitting name for that ol teal rig .
Not a bad option!
Gerald I'm sorry he is not totally back he's doing better but not back he forced his nurse to comment on the video thank you and have a great day
Good dam thing your doing the work yourself,mess around and have a 10k bill at the shop
Most definitely. That flywheel house is 6 grand brand new
I need some education how can something that heavy duty break with ease? I’m really sure how that happened?
Jaremy trucks or mechanical they will break. It’s not if it’s when.
I don't miss the days of having to tear trucks completely apart. You sir are one of the last of a dying breed. But when you don't wanna pay shop rates you sack the fuck up and dive in. And you sir definitely dove in

You bet Scotty!
You Ben polishing on that rig ?
Been doing a little polishing for sure
The real question is how much beer was consumed for this project lol
I don’t drink on the job! Could have used one or two a few times though
Oh I would've been drinking. Especially dealing with all that bull shit alone. You're a better man then me
lol! It’s all good just another day
When somebody re Marries there x I always wonder that gallon of milk that spoiled tastes bad and when you pull it out later and it still tastes like crap. How in the world is that woman going to be any better
The life of an owner operator!!! Always turning wrenches been there done that!!!!! I always said what else would I do ! Fix it yourself if you want it done right
100% man. I like to do my own work. I like to look at other things when I work on my trucks and try to fix or fine tune other things too
@@thedirtytrucker9633 keep at it very much respected !! It’s not easy but we always find a way to make it happen.
I really enjoyed the shop video, but remember, to keep God's name Holy
Thanks man
Shooooooweeeee......that gave me a hernia from watching......🥴

Yeah that was the first thing I did when I started running. I actually took the vents out and blew the vents them selves out. Idk what fixed it but new fuel lines and and new vent in the passenger tank fixed it
Needs a lot of degreaser
Unfortunately I had all the fuel lines off when I realized I was going to have to do this.
Hi Dirty Trucker
