oh dear;
"Dirt Perfect’s Position Form Mack For fundraiser."
there was me thinking it was a Piston from a Mack.
$345.00 and 29 bids!
You put on a good show!
Wow she's a beauty,but I live in CA where we are heavily taxed and very high prices like $5.00 for diesel still in May 8th and drive a 96 Ford 350 with a 7.3 baby.
You are the King of time-lapse on TH-cam! Your use of time-lapse makes the boring or repetitive tasks pass in a hurry and makes the videos so much more enjoyable.
Thanks appreciate that
He needs to teach NYA Monotonous how to use time lapse more often
I totally agree, so many other channels I try to watch, but to much time is spend on the boring shit and they lose me real quick.
In this day and age you need to do as much as you can in doing your own repairs. Work on what you know. It's not being picky, It's being smart!
Thanks
"You're like a blister, you show up after the work is done." Your comment to Gunner was hilarious! He's a very nice young man and at some point should become a huge help with the business. Great to see the family involved. Excellent video, super work. Be well, be safe!
Very smart sticking with what you were professionally trained in! Big difference in time on job when you know how to do the job already! Nice to see you reference the book also, never hurts to double check specs even if you were still at the stealrship 😊
That's really cool to see Bill out there helping you. I lost my dad back in August and enjoyed the time that we spent together
Please tell me what the relationship is between Bill and Mike.
EXCELLENT.....always go with your strengths.....Your training on this kind of engine really paid off.....you don't have to explain or defend your choices for your business.....haters are going to hate and armchair quarterbacks are going to second guess you.....GREAT VIDEO.....thanks you Bill for helping
Very well said.
Putting it back together is where the shade tree workers set down and the experienced mechanic hats with skilled logos take over…lol…..Great job Mike. That’s around $150 to $170 dollars a hour labor rate savings with a lot of personal satisfaction.
Mike… this is one of your better videos, wall. The F subject was fantastic and no tomfoolery. My dad used to own a Mac dealership in Michigan. And I can remember how much fun that was. Pulling those heads off. Thank God you lucked out so far. Everybody stay cool one enjoy your road trip.
It's nice when everything goes well without the unexpected happening. The old Mack should be good for another million. 👌
Nice to see Mike that you are just as scared as the rest of us Dads, thirty little Munchkin's sorry Monster's. Thank you Bill for helping Mike get the truck back to work.
Man, it's a joy to watch you and Bill single-handedly install the piston. I'm a little surprised that you didn't realize the piston was different. You usually check everything several times before you install/extract parts. Bill certainly is worth his weight in gold. He just chugs along quietly and without a lot of flare but he sure quite effective. Man, you got those heads put in place without any major issues. As one viewer mentioned in Part 1 of this task, that this entire process would have been extremely costly. Nice to get Bill back to help with adjustments. Dang, the truck sounded pretty good when you made the trial run. Hey, awesome job brother. Enjoyed a full-watch. I hope the piston goes for a nice price to donate proceeds to the Derby. Have a fine week and keep on moving dirt. 👍🏽🤠 5/3/23
The old dog is ready for another quarter million miles. Would like to see you build a set of pipes on your white Mack to let talk lol. Another great job Mike! 👍👍
👍 Saying Bill is much more quiet than Mouth Behind The Scene is the understatement of the day! You guys killed it man, good job.
Good thing A A Ron doesn’t read comments. If he had any feelings they might get hurt. 😉
He's a boilermaker they're used to it 😆 🤣 😂
Sure is a lot of hard work and patience but the old girl thanks you and will give you many years of service in return my friends. Job well done and thank you for sharing guy's.
pro tip - take an old head bolt, cut the head off and thread it into one of the bolt holes loosely as a stud to help you locate the head when dropping it on - even with locating dowels, it helps tons to not damage the head gasket with the super heavy heads. using two is even better.
(and if you cut a slot in the top for a large screwdriver…)
Hey Mike.
As nice as it was for you to donate the money to the Derby center, it was so sweet! To see and hear Gunners reaction!
Very nice, in fact,
PERFECT! 😁

I totally understand why you were so set on the Mack brand for the dump truck Mike. Very impressive work. You just saved one heck of a lot of $$ in labor.
Mr. Bill appears to be a master mechanic,you work well together.❤
First off, Bill is a good man!! Yes you could have done it by yourself and he was there help saving you hours of labor, Thank you Bill! Knowing what you are doing on any job makes a difference. I had no doubt everything would turn out well and she sounded sweet, Good job Mike! One question tho, did you replace the freeze plugs in the heads or did they just clean up that good...lol Keep up the good work Mike!
My most ambitious project was rebuilding a Yamaha twin two-cycle motorcycle engine. I admire your skill on the Mack motor.
I was going to say put the liner in the freezer but that thing went in great Mike, that was easier than I thought! It’s nice to see a hands-on equipment owner/ operator Mike! You work on everything yourself brother, braver than me! lol I’m just a shade tree mechanic! lol 😂 Looks good Mike, grear job! Thanks for sharing Mike, Kirk from Louisiana! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
From I.C.F.'s to diesel injectors and everything in between! Impressive skill set!
Thanks
Video's not finished playing yet but I'd already like to thank Bill for his wonderful help!!!
I don’t know who Bill is, but he knows his stuff. It’s great to have wisdom to lean on.
Nothing like being an Owner Operator and beings able to repair your own equipment. The time and cost savings make or break a small business. Great job DP and Bill.
Great job helping Mr Dirt Perfect Bill
A tedious but rewarding repair task. You certainly picked the right equipment based on your mechanics background. Fun education video & Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.👍
Thanks for the tag along vid, nice rebuild, done in a timely fashion, enjoyed this mini series, more to an engine rebuild than meets the eye. Bill has been around the block a couple times with engine repairs from what I can tell by the video, nicely done Bill. Glad to see/ hear the big puppy back on the road again.
Great to see your son riding in the truck with you. I rode many miles in a log truck with my dad more than 45 years ago. I knew how to drive a truck the first time I tried just because I had watched my dad so much.
Dang son is there anything mechanical you guys can't do? Just awesome! Have a great day all😀😀😀
Thanks
You're not only a damn good mechanic your cool ass dad. Good job brother.
Thanks
Thank goodness you have Mr. Bill and Mr Jerry you’re a lucky man.
Great video! Very informative. Good thing you have the overhead crane and the dry space to do the job. Keep ‘em coming!
Both videos on the rebuild are really good stuff!
I don’t claim to be a mechanic by any means! But watching these helps me to understand the process.
I know working the cameras really slows things down for you, but I appreciate the efforts!!!
Thanks
Mack sounds good. All that is done for repairs astounds me - Bill's your knowledge is a huge financial outlay saver. Gunner is growing into a nice young lad.
Awesome! Gunner shows up like MBTS after the job is done!
I did 30 years with ABF freight co. In the shop so I see the green it looks the same.
Not so bad when there was a storm outside. Would have been a day in the shop anyway.
Doesn’t feel so wasted now, although the parts never come cheap, this was a good example for doing your own maintanance.
Exactly what my father did with his truck, I helped him out a lot.
That Mack is just the sweetest sound. Great job Mike. Can't imagine what Mack charges for that job. It's good to be a mechanic. Learned a few things about liner protrusion and lining up the heads for the exhaust manifold. Thanks for all the projects you show us.
NICE watching you do this work. I in my youth used to do this sort of work. Glad I no longer need to climb over fenders
I think I've met Bill before. I used to deliver propane for UPG and had a delivery there by the gas station. An older gentleman came and let me into the lot where I needed to fill the tank. This was a few years ago.
Yup awesome guy
Great video,accomplished a lot for a one man show.looks good.having bill help out never hurts.just keep doing what your doing and carry on.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Great job Mr Dirt Perfect putting your Mack back together
I'd buy your equipment ANY day of the week & TWICE on Sunday. Enjoyed
Great job as always Mike 👍🏼
She’s singing like a lark up them hills.
Albeit a lark who smoked 60 Camel Filterless for 20 years washed down with some sweet Tennessee Whiskey 😂👍🏼
Mike if I had 30 kids in my house I would for sure forget more than to video something.
I don't understand a lot of what you did but I sure like to watch it being done. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video. Bill seems like a great guy to work with.
He is
Boy Mike the ole puppy is growling and sounds ready for a fight! You do a good job on keeping you equipment up and running.
You are a fine mechanic D.P., and this video showcases that. You and Bill did a great job, especially when you thought it would just entail replacing the head gasket. Real satisfying to watch!
Who is Bill, he seems to be the guy to have in the garage when you need to have your puppy dog feeling better! Enjoy your videos, never miss a one
Good friend in lot of older videos
Back in the day I used S.T.P. to put the engine together with it worked out pretty good. Changed a 289 to a 327 in my 59 Chevy.
excelent job 👍 shows that you have experiance in the MACK. looks as you have the fortune to found some old clever guys like Bill and Jerry to help you when needed. 😊
I wish I could give Bill 100 thumbs up!
Vet gave puppy dog clean bill of health. Thank you doctor Bill, and assisted DP for a flawless surgery 😉 I didn’t see any deer meet on the test drive😂 Hello to Mr. Gunner, nice work closing us out😊👍🇺🇸
A shout out to Bill and his wealth of knowledge.👍
Good morning! Thanks for the positive attitude. Makes the vedio more enjoyable. The music never gets old. I like it
I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with firing up an engine I tore down and put back together. Love to see her start and run but hate that feeling of I hope nothing went wrong and will have to dig into it again. Even though I’ve hardly ever had to. Great job!!! It saves so much money when you can do it yourself
Great job fixing the Mack guys
Did I hear what I think I heard 😮😅 accidents happen.
You're absolutely right about all those kids
Job well done you, and Bill did a wonderful job on fixing that engine
Great job glad to see the old girl peering again
Mack sounds great Mr Dirt Perfect
It's been a long time since I worked on a Mack engine internals. We had a 74 R model that we had to keep rebuilding the turbocharger because the driver wouldn't idle it before shutting down. It had 800,000 miles on it when it became a yard tractor. The only Macks we had engine trouble with were the newest ones with Cummins engines.
Great job, I didn’t understand a thing that was going on but I still enjoyed watching.
Mikey, that was a tad more teed-jous than replacing the cylinder in my chainsaw!
But, I’m working my way up… my generator blew a head gasket.
I’m turning 70 this year… I expect that some time before I hit 90 I’ll be ready to tackle a two cylinder! LOL
You and Bill nailed it… good job showing the rebuild. Thanks for the tag along!!!
Very impressive! You are not just a wrench turner…you are a mechanic! I’m what you call a half a.. …let’s just say…parts replacer!
Cool stuff. Early in my career I was a mechanic at an independent shop that was also a Mack Service Dealer. It was fascinating for me to recognize the bones of the legendary Thermodyne and Maxidyne engines. And yes I just dated myself.
Lol yup good old engines
Enjoy this video on rebuilding your engine on your Mack Truck and Bill is quieter then Man Behind the Scene ..
Mike you work good bye yourself or with a helper but when it comes to your equipment you work them hard to get the job done and you take care of them the right way when they have a problem and the experience shows you da man in your shop 👍😎🇺🇸NY
My Dad was a Mack mechanic and taught me about them, but I became a Detroit mechanic for the last 43 years ! Five more years to go then no more getting my hands dirty!!
Working with Arron is a trip ,Who is Bill ,he's sounds like he knows his stuff , You guys did a awesome job and the old girl is back on the road like nothing happened that's the beauty of being a former Mack mechanic ,no labor charges and many thanks to Bill for his expert help .later
Excellent! Wild Bill certainly helped with added knowledge and an extra set of hands!
That Mack engine is pretty much the same as the 855 Cummins with a few differences. I'm glad you're back up and running quickly and didn't cost you an arm and a leg to fix it.
Worked on both not even close to the same
Glad you got the Bulldog back up and working
She purrs like a kitten! Great job DP! It’s so awesome that you can do all that yourself
I have said it before, man that mack sounds good. Next for a new set of custom made stacks is the new dump truck! You and man behind the scenes may need to go into the custom exhaust business!
Your mechanic skills are impressive to say the least. Working alone on a lot of the repair, only being down for 2 1/2 days and only spending $2800 for a blown head gasket on a truck like this is very nice to say the least. Give Bill a shout out from us for coming to the rescue please. Great video. Thank you DP. 👍
You are a pretty knowledgeable fellow ,their dosen't seem to be much you can't do.Tonthe point of understanding all the new technology. Great job
Thanks
Mike I Worked thirty six yrs in a shop we overhauled cats cummins det. 671 6v92 8v92 we done it all tranmission road ranger to allison automatic diff .
Man i love the way that puppy purrs.
I did have an uncle that welded at Mack truck in Allentown but he passed many years ago as he has black lung from mining coal and
welders lungs and well smoker as well.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Wishing you and your family the best.
That's always such a relief when she starts up perfect 😊
I know why your head gasket failed, because you replace that coolant expansion tank. And the truck said oh look he’s giving me some love and I want some more 😂
Lol
I really enjoyed these 2 vids - Tons of knowledge, thanks for sharing it with us! --- Others have already said this, but yeah - your decision to buy trucks / equipment that you're already trained on is spot-on,,, well done!
Thanks
engine rebuild and restart on the first go 10/10
Thumbs up 👍 keeping up with maintenance 😊it’s easy to do a $5 repair before it goes to $50 then $500 and more 😂
Great video. I enjoy how you explain everything. Thanks for sharing
When you are putting oil or antifreeze put the hole to the top and the liquid will flow out much faster
Thank you and have an awesome week.
Sir without sounding condescending that was a good job very well done! Very impressive - stay safe and well!
Thanks appreciate that
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Super super video! DP and Bill must be having the satisfying feeling of being “back in the saddle” again. 👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
Thanks appreciate that
30 kids, nope, 4 is too many for me. I have 3 grandkids, a 12, 4, and 7 weeks. The 12 and a 4 year old that is autistic. I can't take the crying of the 7 week old. I guess I am just old and want peace and quiet. Great video on the truck. It helps to be able to repair your own equipment. It would have been double or more at a repair shop, and you have trust they know what they are doing.
Bill reminds me of my high school shop teacher. That was over 30 years ago. Dang I'm old. Lol.
Dang fine job! I did see another comment saying that you should have done a complete in-frame. Not warranted in my opine either: it's a local haul truck and not an OTR truck. 10K (maybe) miles a year versus 200K miles a year. I wholeheartedly agree with fixing what was broke and leaving non-broke parts alone.
Morning DP and friends
All trucks and equipment break, however you sticking to keeping with what you know how to fix saved you weeks of downtime. This is a classic example of why Mack fits your operation! I appreciated the explanation of what failed and how it was fixed. Keep up the great work!
Great video and the last part of it was a delightful reminder of when I was his age- hanging out in the big garage with my dad on winter days when he and his guys were repairing and rebuilding his heavy equipment for the next season.
