Thank you for following. :)
I see a future episode of Mike the truck nut. Where Mike pours a concrete pad to keep Duke from sinking into the ground.
Exactly what I was thinking too.
Yeah I was thinking that too!
I agree with your dad, no straight pipes. I like it quiet. Just the right visor slant.
I am sure you know this Mike but you are lucky to still have your Dad with you in your shop. I am 56 and would kill to have mine in my shop now but lost him when I was 20 back in 87. He was a trucker starting back in the 60's and drove for Emerson Electric making trips into Canada back in the day. Glad yours is still around.
Lost my only parent and mother right before my 19th bday in 2021 I understand
We need to see more of your dad working with you in the shop this episode was brilliant with your dad
I second the idea of you building a concrete pad for Duke, on the side of the garage! However, i say put a carport over the new concrete pad, also...if you were to build it!
Hey Mike. I guess you need to change your intro. You are still Peterbilt Mike at 0:51. 😅
Lol I totally missed that. I was even looking at it thinking I should get a new Pic of low n slow but I'm thinner and less fat in that picture LOL.
He will always be peterbilt Mike!
Mike good morning from Adelaide Sat 8am the Duke is the best I love bonnetted,trucks looking out over the bonnet is cool view ,I've driven Ford LOUIEVILLE, international S lines but we didn't get Peterbuilt in many numbers here in Australia .He now needs some good shiny wheels ,maybe put that cat in the cab to catch the mice LOL ,great seeing Dad there he is a wonderful addition to your channel ,you are very lucky he shares your passion for trucks ,so thanks for the cheerful start to my weekend Mate
Cheers Kym

The visor is what it needed. Looks cool.
wider steer tires and big straight pipes would look awsome on the truck
Duke is looking good I see your dad is making progress on stubby.
Trucks looking good Mike some chrome rims all round would suit it off nicely and another air cleaner
Would have been nice to know the size of the new visor???? Guessing 14”??? Brand?
Experience is the one thing you gain right AFTER you needed it.
great idea for a t-shirt
10:4 it is 👍
Needs some 315 steer tires and aluminum wheels
315s would be sic 👌
Duke needs a chrome bug deflector
I'm on the fence with that. It would make rhe hood look taller 🤔
Now it's time to polish the grill surround, that will make it pop.
Good video Mike thanks for making it.
This has gotta be the most painful video ive ever watched... smh.....lol
We have something in common Mike. The shirt and we both love The Duke. The look is AWESOME👍👍
#grumpyforlife 👊😎
@@mikethetrucknut Amen ( LOL )
Great job mike you didnt do your stear tyres
Not yet ... I was going to go get steers today but didn't have my pickup.
Hay Mike. Duke is looking great. Would look great with shorter, bigger pipes on it 😀.
Polishing the grille will give Duke more bling!!
That new visor looks really sharp!!. More bling for Duke!!
You just need to add a Freightliner and an International to the Cabover family, seeing as you have Petebilt and Kenworth in the fleet.
Duke is looking cool though, your Pops is right, looks like a logging truck. Get the front mudflaps on Duke and you’ve cracked it.
I think the painted rims look pretty sharp with the chrome. But that's only my opinion.
hehehe.......don't think you will be parking there again
Hey Mike, you should have check the oil,JUST SAYING OK!!! DUKE is look good!! I just love seeing you & dad working together , great times!! Stay safe!!👍👌🎓
Thanks Charles, dad is a legend 🙌
That is a sweet looking rig. Are you going to polish the fuel tanks? Those are some pretty lame looking mud flaps. What's the distance between yoour new house and the shop/ old house?
Duke is looking great. Well done. The visor suits it.
I like the origanal viser better,,but it,s not my truck.I don,t understand the need to cover the windsheilds now.
The OCD in me would not be able to deal with those mudflaps brackets on the back of the chassis. 🥸
My plan is to change them out one day after painting the Frame.
it is amazing what a buffer and some SOlvol Autosol can do for aluminum, the grill ring would not take that long and look like chrome when you are finished,
A little "air out my feelings moment" .... why don't they do something at the factory when its known that all vehicles are just rolling mouse homes... a rodent residentery so speaking. At least install mouse and other rodent traps that can be cleaned occasionally. Its a bugger to keep a small fleet clean of them and no matter how often you chase them out, another one is moving in in another spot. I left my doors open when I parked my rigs near home in our building and fed my ferial cats in on the floors. It was pretty darn good for the most part with just a bit of cat hair to clean out once in a great while. I had just installed all of a interior in one rig, took it on a maiden voyage out to a logging site... came back from eating lunch with those guys and swapping lies... heard something that kind of caught my attention so blew it off. Next day was a holiday and so going to give er a shine for the early next day outing... might as well hook up a new speaker I got and guess what... a mouse house was already started in that location!! Come on guys who decide what is next in fixing our rigs to get a million miles on a single charged battery that fits in your pocket... ya, sell that to the guy next door who owns the Brooklyn bridge. Your on the right tract to get all those liners down and clean out those sob's before its really bad again.
Duke is the best looking truck you got right now until smoky is done then I will probably change my mind 😊
Ohh I xant wait to get smokey painted one day. The new interior looks amazing. I should share a sneak peak.
Nice new headlights too!!
what happened to changing the tires?? next time.....lol
If you look at the 4:31 mark you can see Mike's wife getting a new purse lol
😂
Mike, take it from a driver.... Never Ever put used tires on the steer axle, always use new.
Yes you should have 😅
Looks perfect and its still functional, not a fan of the ones with a big drop. Its the fad right now that to will hopefully go away.
its fine mike... no worries
Thanks James
Aluminum rims Mike, and more with your Dad !
i am glad to see the cheif inspector and supervisor was keeping an eye on you. that way it gets done right with less shenanigans..
8 inchers for stacks. What a look that will give it!!!
Mike, you are such a nice guy I thought you were going to say a few words over the corpse 🐁
no no not that i think huge stacks on them trucks looks stupid i,m old school but what u do need is a huge cement pad beside and in front of that garage keep up the great work mike
looks as the poor old mouse did not survive life on the road. your dad has a point about strait pipes...
As your dad says ...only because 😂😂..
Yes more of your dad in videos and put a pad or crusher run wear Duke parks maybe even put a roof over his head
Good job Mike that truck is looking so coooooool. Need to add some chicken lights lol
Any episode with Dad in it is a Good one . we nead update on Dads truck ???
Duke is looking nice with that new visor and lights
Thanks Jim 😊
I like the pipes the way they are, does not need straight pipes.
Sounds like it has a slight miss at idle to me but hard to tell off a video
Looking better all the time, once that grill surround gets polished, aluminum buds put on and the frame painted, and it will be absolutely fabulous.
Yes sir... slow and steady its coming together
Needs more gravel
Mike you look at those injectors on duke
Duke gettin beautiful every second love it mike
Good excuse for concrete now, Mike.
Its only illegal if you get caught
Yes you do 👍
Hi Mike, looks good, I think it would look better with bigger stacks, give it a more aggressive look.
And straight ones without mufflers
Mike ❤ Love That Visor On Duke Keep Up the good work Billy Lizza Uniontown pa
Thanks Billy
Mike, if you will indulge another question, Is the 389X available with the short hood ❓ Thanks.
I dont think so no
More of your Dad… ‘talking to yourself again’… Years of knowledge and wisdom!
Amen to that.
Mike, love the video's you give to us. Thank you. I hope that you will consider putting aluminum wheels on Duke. That would really make it look amazing! Thanks again
Ohh it's happening...
those trp visors are junk! rockwood makes a nice drop visor, you don't have to pull the headliner down to install, I've installed three on my 389 gliders, no problem!!
Good to know
Definitely move the tanks and add the steps. Maybe a shiny headache rack, stacks, and aluminum rims . Even though it aint a Cabover, Dukes a cool project.
Thanks, yeah it's a nice change at times.
Isn't white smoke from coolant in the cylinders? Blue would be from an injector cup leaking, correct me if I'm wrong
Thick white smoke is water but transparent white smoke is unburnt fuel, I spoke to one of our engine guys and he thinks its just sticky vva heads or injectors from lack of use. his recommendation was to put some fuel conditioner in and make it work.
It may look good but sitting on the floor to be able to see under the visor isn't for me
I like this one because you don't have to sit on the floor to see out. I have driven those ones and if you don't have a low base seat they are brutal
It must be my age...there are some things I will never understand. Cars slammed down on the ground and humongous visors on trucks.
I like a nice visor but i like to sit up in a truck so big drops are a no go for me.
No you don't need that
Duke is a cool truck! 😎
Thanks Gary. I love giving it a new lease on life
Question I have a 385 could I swap hoods with a 378?
I don't think so no
Probably need to start with some concrete work safe all the trucks from sinking and getting stuck and easy to wash down
that would be fantastic
I’ll be damned I do the same thing taste the oil you tha man lol lock tite tastes sweet had it on my finger wiped my moth off got it on my lips I would advise tasting lock tite or anti freeze on purpose
Lol gotcha. That's some sage advise
that patch on the inside of the guard is just a bodgey glass patch...surface not prepared properly so the patch has not adhered to it.
Yeah I'm looking forward to fixing that corner up
Duke is looking great Mike!
Thanks.
Did you ever try the Irish spring soap for the mouse issue? Heard it works
Yeah I have some in the shop
Nice smooth shifting their Mike👍🏼
Thanks Randy 🙂
Did Peterbilt delete frame color choice paint option ❓
No but it will push it back in the schedule at this time
do you think you could get Andrea to polish that grill?
🤣
Are you putting aluminum budds on?
Yep
Straight pipe with old school flappers. Mudflats on the bumper. Looking good Mike keep up the mahi (hard work)
Watermelon lights would look good
Ohhhh yeah
I hate to say it but this channel is getting a bit repetitive and boring. I hate to say that.
I am glad to hear the feedback. Thank you for the constructive criticism
Check the oil? Bah! Oil is highly overrated. 😙
That is some wicked soft ground! 😮
Directions? What are directions? Oh, yeah, those things my wife gives to me and I ignore. 😆
The new visor looks great! Not too big, not too small, not too much drop, just right.
New headlights look good too. Another great thing about LED's is they have a lower current draw than incandescent, halogen or HID.
Nice, Mike.
The Sound of the Tubo from Duke its only great.
Some time you gotta put some aluminum wheels on Duke
I may have made a purchase yesterday... 🤫 Andrea thinks I just bought 2 Lol
Visors are not easy. Great job Mike. Truck looks sharp!Thanks.
Looking good Mike, nice bit of progress!
Thanks Graeme
😎👍
💯
Time to put some better fill in your yard
Yes for sure. Can't be having that
the glass just told you thats way they say to drill them out lmao.
Lol yeah🤦♂️
Great video Mike Duke is looking good. Darn mice always getting into stuff they shouldn't. But your on it to clean Dukes interior and then its all good stay safe Mike.
Looking marvel's 😎👍.
First thing you got to do is fixed your yard before you’re wife finds out but you do have nice trucks
😂 might be the valve guides, ah maybe i should have check it for oil first, the reaction on his face is so funny, i have to repeat the clip🤣🙈
He s looking good Mike great job looks mean and ready to rock let s roll yes straight pipe are the way to go and a tool box too can.t wait till next week to see what u get yourself into 😂😂😮 take care
