I don't understand the economics of radiator repair either. The last IH radiator I had out was going to be $500 to recore, or $600 for a new one. I ended up buying a used radiator from a junk yard for $250. Thanks for the shout out. Your channel is really growing. No stopping you now!
Your welcome man! I love your videos I wanna see you get back out to the industrial horde and get some stuff going lol I live for that old junk! As for channel growth you are gaining too! It took me forever to pass you, your likely to pass me back up soon as I don’t have as much time for youtube during the summer but then you may not either... anyway keep up the good work! Maybe we’ll make it somewhere with this lol
@@DieselCreek Thanks again! I would not stress TH-cam in the summer. I've found views really drop off a cliff. Everyone is busy. It picks up again in the fall.
I agree, mine kind of exploded around Christmas and it’s slowed way down but still gaining... slowly
@@DieselCreek That's the same for me. I went from 8K subscribers in September to 50k in January. Then things slowed way down. We will have to see how it goes this year with all the pandemic craziness.
Matt & Wes great content from both you guys. Matt the vacuum filling is the only to do it. It quickly identifies leaks if it doesn't hold a vacuum. weeping waterpump seals, bad radiator cap or core.
I'm a retired diesel mechanic and hearing you complain the whole time working on that truck just reaffirmed the fact that I don't miss doing most of that stuff every day LOL
Sadly people who designed those things were not users....
@Corona Virus That's the problem here : engineers are not users !
@@tomjoad1363 Maybe they were users, but probably not repairers.

Nice to see your dad can still help out . Savor those times He won't be around forever .When my dad passed it left a great void, he taught me a lot God bless
I agree. I lost my dad when he was 77 in 1990. I saw in my late 20's at the time. He was suffering with dementia but if he was asked a question on either mechanical or electronic fields he would give you the answer accurately ask him what he had for breakfast he had no memory of it. I miss him every day especially when it comes to either mechanical or amateur radio
“This has turned into much more of a pain in the butt than it ever should be”
That describes every simple job, ever.
And the simpler it should be................
So much for good ole "plug and chug" parts 🤪😄🥵😉
you said it.
A joy to watch that little guy go after his ball, and bringing it back all excited :-)
I like to position myself where the radiator will drain right into my eyes and face, that way I can get a really good feel of whats going on in there.
ROFL....No matter even if I let somebody else do the draining, I seem to get splattered. Good post.
I know the feeling and the taste
This, sir, is a great comment. Rarely is there audible sarcasm in a written word.
@@ypop417 I've been fortunate enough to avoid the taste, but the feel is just slimey.
I hate the feel,taste and the smell of coolant. I've had many a shower myself 20 minutes into a shift.
I have to give you a humongous shout out for the dogs and the exercise ball...what a nice personal kinda touch instead of going straight to a repair ..THANKS
meatball lol my spirit animal
I know this comment is about four years too late, but that radiator/intercooler/condenser assembly is meant to come out as an assembly and split apart after it’s out of the vehicle. It is much easier to reassemble it that way. Great content as always sir.
good luck.. 2.1, only 27 and getting older everyday. be well, be safe. I am 84 and really enjoy watching your videos. tks.. 2.16
Great video as always Matt 37:00 @Diesel Creek
When filling the system with concentrated coolant, using distilled (not purified) water is worth it for your mix - will help keep the corrosion down compared to minerals in city or well water. Get it from the grocery store for $0.99 a gallon. Still cheaper than buying pre-mixed coolant.
Interesting tip thanks I just bought some for my tractor.
Direct bolt in part fits perfectly after some modifications with a grinder. Gotta love it.
Thanks for sharing Matt, liking the content.
I think you should include Meatball in more of your videos. Great dog!
It's funny to watch meatball having so much fun playing.
Thanks for a nice and interesting video. I'm not an expert but I really like the sound of the engine.
Meatball just to adorable with that yoga Ball Matt 😂 1:00 @Diesel Creek
Surge bottle= expansion tank. I was shocked at the price of that radiator! I changed the one in my C3500 and couldn't lift it out at first thinking it was stuck...nope, just so much rust inside it weighed 80+ pounds. Love your videos and your work ethic. At 64 years old gives me inspiration to go work on the numerous projects I have.
Pouring that antifreeze sounds like me at 3:30 or so every morning lol.
You are just having a run of maintenance issues. At least you seem fully capable of handling them. This is a great lesson about being more self sufficient than the regular city citizen. Thank you for documenting it and giving those of us who want to learn another source of education.
I get to install a radiator on Monday in our dump truck, fun fun !
Radiator repair is a lost art.
I know, from ugly experence, how much pain and suffering this video does not show. You are a can do dude, Matt!
New Replacement parts seem to be cheaper for everything these days Over Repairing parts labor cost are ao much higher nowadays Especially for skilled labor Matt 15:40 @Diesel Creek
I had 5 trucks. $100 is change. Nothing ever cost less than $1000. Life goes on. Stay cool.
Gotta love those high quality, hi spec, made in America radiators...
I must say, you have the best music, I enjoy watching due to the content and music. Listening to your western Pa accent reminds me of home. Thanks
Generally I'd change out all hoses with a new radiator install. Just good insurance & not too much extra cost.
16:17 "Only 27 and not quite as limber as I used to be, I just pulled something climbing up here." Too funny Matt. I'm almost 69 and I pulled something just watching you haul out the old radiator. Well look at it this way, you'll have an easier time with the new radiator to flush and change the coolant. Neighbor across the street from me has a Boston terrier and it body surfs on the exercise ball they have for it. I reckon Meatball might have a problem doing that.😳🐶😂. Great episode and it was good seeing your Dad give you an expert hand. I look forward to the next. I hope you and yours remain healthy and safe and cheers from an old retired coot living in Tennessee.❤️👍😷🍻✌️
Boys, fyi, it only gets worse.
I love your Meat Ball! I have an male AmStaff and a female Akita, huge dog fan here.
You have some very interesting material, the way you present it is like we are right there wrenching with you making it even more interesting. Thank you so much for helping us guys and gals out here learn. :)
Memorial Day weekend 2021, eating Chili dogs and binge-watching Diesel Creek! Doesn't get any better than this.
Wes is a very talented gearhead...you are as well..i like old diesel stuff and finding out what makes them tick..i'm a retired over the road trucker..cheers from a former Pa resident now enjoying the good life in the gulf shores area
I love "The Meatball" he's great! Rosco looks like a good Doggie too
LOL ! I can tell he loves it .
I enjoyed the radiator removal, and replacement with a brand new one, job!
Well done, Matt!
Nice video Matt. Always great to see dad! 👍
Very sweet pup!
good job done Matt.
We love seeing and hearing meatball the Bulldog!
YOUNG MAN YOU HAVE REWATCHABILITY, GOOD SECOND THIRD TIME AROUND
The manufacturers always want you using a extension and a u-joint for every thing! Knuckle busters! lol 😂
You’re lucky to have him
Always feels so good to complete repairs like that.
the ruckus from Meatball makes me smile....more Meatball !!
My Pug Joey Bear, just died last year, 10 weeks shy of his 15th Birthday! He made all those same Beautiful "Noises", panting an breathing as Meatball Does! Lol! :) Great to hear again!!! :)
When all else fails use a 5 lbs sledgehammer. It does not fix anything, but along with a beer it helps you calm down and rethink things. Come to think of it, maybe skip the sledge and procede directly to the beer. Great video. ☺
The Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info DC
Antifreeze running down my arm into my armpit my favourite kind 😂😂😂
The replacement core is a lot better quality and they always seem to fit nicely. That is why I go with the recore
I really enjoy your videos. You don't talk too much and you make videos entertaining. Keep up the good work!
THANK YOU… for filming the IMPORTANT action of pouring the rad fluids into a barrel AND NOT ON THE GROUND. Still too many people contaminate the ground water/water ways by just dumping it. THANK YOU again. Anti-Freeze is deadly to animals. They are attracted to its sweetness.
I agree with you source parts with what you can afford. Dont worry about what they tell you here. Great video and thanks and keep them coming.
That is a huge radiator by todays standard and I hope winter road salt doesn't hurt it much.
Love those old Internationals, even though typically they're usually pretty beat up. This one looks like it's in real nice shape. Nice truck
I've always referred to that surge tank as a barf tank. The coolant barfs back into that tank under pressure. I have an OEB Bulldog, they are.... special!
nice job glad to see that you got it fixed .
best wishes, greetings from Phelps KY
It's always like that making new with old stuff! Done that once too many times with computers and houses! Sometimes when you expect a job to last 10 minutes, it last for hours and hours and you have to spend a lot more money than you originally tought! Good job Matt, continue your excellent videos showing what's like to really work with old stuff... it's not fun and games all the time!
Good job Matt, but Meatball was definitely the star in this video
He’s a lot of fun!
i can hear the little monster lol good owd meatball he is a fantastic dog
Wes is a awesome mechanic!
“This has turned into much more of a pain in the butt than it ever should be”. --A phrase uttered by everyone
Everything is a pain in the butt, and the newer it is the more pain it is. At least his radiator looks like metal rather that plastic junk like all the new ones.
No not every one you a Christian would not blasphem their best friend NO NEED FOR IT no one would blasphem any other lord from any other faith. so why should not just this nice chapp but anyone at all xx
@@mrwindowcleaner1000
No one blasphemy any Lord or God, just said , "it was a pain in the butt "
@@mrwindowcleaner1000 I see what you are talking about, around `10:10, but it's not necessarily blaspheming, it is appealing for help.
You need to get Meatball out of there. Antifreeze can be sweet to a dog and it's absolutely lethal! WHAT? Your only 27 ? My respect for what you know and what your doing has just TRIPLED! But I have to admit, it explains your proclivity for collecting all the power equipment your collecting. I'd be doing the exact same thing.
Love your content, such a patient person! I would probably have set fire to the damn thing after all that! Awful when you pay a lot for something and it still doesn't fit properly! Great video Matt, have a great week.
Matt I can’t wait till the end of the video to say this. My experience is flush/wash/do what you have to to make sure the block has all the crap out of it. The stuff in the radiator neck looked BAD. Put some additives in the new fluid.
Those vacuum fillers are pretty easy to use and you can get some around 100 dollars. Makes filling cooling systems easy.
Beer thirty brother! Always a thumbs up from me! Thanks for sharing Matt
The sparks from the grinder were cool - none the less...
Good job, those are hard to do and I've done a few of them. :-) Forgive me if you already know this, I'm not trying to be a know-it-all. You need to check your coolant at regular intervals--at least every engine service--using a dip-strip that checks for pH balance. Even with Anti-Cavitation in the coolant there will be minute spots of cavitation on the cylinder liners. If the pH reading has gone vert low it's acidic and that liquid around the outside of the air bubble on the cylinder liner will be acidic. If the pH goes too high, it's alkaline and that can etch liners as well. If either condition causes a hole in the liner you will grenade the engine.
Judging from the way the old coolant looked I don't think that system was maintained right, a lot of the green stuff is the copper and/or brass a too acidic system has eaten away.
If you ever do decide to take the front off (engine cowl or cover) don't let the elderly man help you as that piece is not only heavy, but awkward. We used to help each other when we had to take them off and we were the age you are now.
HTH
What causes this, is it when the coolant gets too old. Thanks.
What a PIA. Great content.
Also very good advice on the SCA’s most people don’t realize the importance
Welcome to International trucks, where every part is custom for every truck....
Thanks for the video..
Great video thanks Matt. On every job something always bites you in the butt and causes problems. I would have changed the upper and lower radiator hoses at this time as well. Good insurance later on. Thanks
Ever time ya lifted on that rad I could tell you were counting to 10 and cursing under your breath! Lol
All things considered, not a bad price on the radiator. My intercooler on my rzr cost a couple hundred more and is prolly an 1/8 of the size of that monster.
Wow Matt that was a great video I'm glad that you took us along to show us how you done pretty much the radiator to get it out and put it back thanks for the video will be waiting for the one next week thank you from Jefferson City Tennessee
I think Meatball is funny, and lovable.
I find it interesting to watch various repairs and things. I've had to rely on just myself with my mechanical things..
Lots to be learned here on TH-cam, I’m no pro but I can fix just about anything with enough googling and head scratching
Andrew Camarata fixes his own radiators. Watch his video to learn. He finds the leak and heavily solders the area. It don't look pretty, but it works. You both have great content.
And AC will spend the rest of his life fixing junk instead of making money running a machine that was fixed right the first time.
@@mattywho8485 he makes money fixing junk via views. Also his main equipment is reliable.
Nice radiator nice job Matt. I was trying to help from where I was at but couldn't do much but I tried. Carry on with ur good work.
Was a little pricey but there's no better feeling than knowing you did it right the first time
Superb video Matt, cannot beat a angle grinder to "modify" your new Rad, nearly $1000 for a rad.. WOW !!!!!!!!
It's funny how certain types of people just seem to find each other. Love your channel, love Wes' channel, and now you're recommending his channel, gotta love it.
He’s got some cool content!
I feel your pain. I had a 94 Kenworth T800, $2200.00 for the radiator.
@@DieselCreek He definitely has, but so do you. I've learned a lot just from watching people like Wes and yourself work.
Guys we need to get Matt to 200k subscribers or better yet 250k
Boy I like the way you think haha 👍🏼👍🏼
Love dogs no apology needed.
Big truck takes a big ass radiator and it looks like beer thirty brother! You’ve done a good job! You deserve a Bud Light Matt! lol 😂 and some much needed relaxation! Dammit 937! 😳😳😳
9:58 is the best reaction captured ever. You have no idea how many times Ive felt like that lol
I be liken meatball, he’s a good ole boy!!!!😁
My take a way -- repairing old radiator even if it cost more could save headaches of bolt alignment issues with new radiator. Time is money. Love your videos.
Right with ya friend , your every word is my thought
Central California watching
I have had good luck with Bars Leak. Two jars for every 5 gal.
You should check and see if there was a coolant filter option for that truck, and rig a copy up. It will put off the next radiator change by years.
Best wishes
Matt, that was a good video. You did a good job. Oh to be 27 again. I am 43, and now I feel old.
Thanks Brad, oh to be 43 again, that’s about the age I got out of heavy vehicle / plant repairs, still feel the aches and pains, I’m 60 this year.
Poppa Bear36 Yes, age is all relative I guess.
You should marketing your new underarm Antiperspirant . Too auto mechanics lol
Love this channel and love meatball.
yup the vac for the cooling system is a pretty cool bit of kit I have one as I am a semi retired master mechanic
I’m a total sucker for dogs, have 2 myself, Meatball takes the cake Matt! Thanks for sharing yours with us!
Working with hose clamps that have a hex head. Don’t use screwdriver. 5/16 socket works fine. Doesn’t slip off like screwdriver and you get more torque on the clamp.. Guess I spoke too quick before I saw you use the rattle gun with socket.
Try Northern Factory Sales, when we had our shop, we bought all of our cooling and A/C parts from them. The freight was reasonable and we usually had our parts in a couple of days
