yep just watched an hour long video on a dump truck. better than anything on tv.
Cameron Charles yes it is
Yes sir.
That's it, Andrew should have his own TV show!
Oh, the irony of with all the subscribers, he no longer has to work. But yet, he has to work for all the content he films. It's great that he seems to greatly enjoy what he does and maybe now can be a little more selective in the profitable jobs he selects
@@kimberly1567 I don't see ads on most of his videos, he doesn't appear to be monetising TH-cam in the way that most other content creators are these days. I hope I'm wrong but it's possible that he isn't actually making very much money from TH-cam.
Andrew. I've been watching probably 25 - 30 of your videos in the last month. You are one impressive young man. Vast knowledge of all things mechanical & and energy rarely seen in people. I'm a retired 3M Executive - never had the nerve to start my own business. Worked 30+ years for a Fortune 100 company, always had a great income & benefits. YOU are what makes America great. Fearless & never look to anyone but yourself for help & success. I admire you so much Andrew. Your ability to have fun at work & play is infectious. Thank you for always finding a way to make every video - not only entertaining - but meaningful as well. Job well done.
Thanks
What a great comment Mr. Wahlert.
Agreed
Insightful comments, Mr. Wahlert. Keep up the good work, Andrew. You are inspiring to quite a few people.
Love Andrew's answer to this comment XD
" I bought it anyway even though it was a piece of junk and everything else in the guys yard was a piece of junk" best line i have heard in a while
My God, someone who actually left timestamps in a lengthy video. Yeah, you earned a Like for that extra effort.
I’ve only seen him and DjGoHam Gaming do the time stamps, and they are both dedicated

Yeah...I like the time stamps as well...and the aerial drones shot on his previous videos
How old is that truck? I used to drive one that was more modern than that 30 years ago. They stopped putting crash gearboxes in trucks here in Europe about 30 years ago and the cab on that truck reminds me of a model A ford car. Trucks today drive just like expensive cars with automatic gearshifts and every creature comfoft. I don't understand why American trucks are so primitive.
How much is the truck with the best truck is sack of my stuff in Mentor being the truck over here my drive way is need work
I never thought watching a one hour plus video about a dump truck would be so interesting.
I thought it would be interesting, and it was 10x better than I even thought it would be!
Maybe we all need to get a life... I watched it to.......
because it is a dump,not a dumb truck,lol
@Louis Skolnik Funny Louis... I love it, because you are right. LMAO
@@brentbarnhart5827 agreed
I love the way he ends his video...no fuss, no begging for people to subscribe, just fade to black...perfect!!
a good video dont need to beg, we will subscribe when we see good video.
Great point res1492 - hadn't thought of that. I guess because he does so many things right. Terrific videos and no advertisements that interrupt.
Right, you don't see a whole lot of that these days unfortunately.
@@p52457 Agreed, No talking half way through the video about nothing, then getting to the actual subject that the video is about. Oh and no crazy edits!

Haha who was that guy? Prob his dad.
"Dang it Andrew, I'm a camera man, not a mechanic." And then he's awesome.....
Im a Truck Driver..You should change the stick shift Handle to one that has a Splitter on it..
Much easyer to Shift with the Splitter at your finger tips, instead of reaching down every time..
Keep light pressure on the stick shift before you shift, so when you let off on the accelerator
the stick will slide out of gear and into the next gear quicker and better timed with the engine RPM
Nice Truck, its really gonna make your job easyer
Im an european truck driver and I love American trucks so reading your comment I would like to know that couldnt you just step on the clutch every time you shift?
Tokatt The US trucks do not have sincro-meshed transmissions like a normal manual car that you or I drive every day. The sincro-mesh allows you to move the shifter from any gear to any gear without having to worrying about matching engine and transmission speeds (this is to put it simply!). With a non synchro-meshed transmission the driver has to do the work that the synchromesh does in a normal car of matching shaft speeds. So basically without a synchromesh you have to match the engine and gearbox speeds regardless of whether the clutch is in or not so you may as well just not use it. Rev to the top of one gear, lift of the throttle and move the shifter to neutral then push the shifter into the next gear when the revs fall to the correct point. Tricky to get the hang of I know! The manuals are mostly made by Eaton fuller and mostly come in 9,13 and 18 speed variants. But they each shift in a standard 5 speed gear box patterns just stacked on top of each other with different gear ranges. So in a 9 speed you start in low range 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 then shift to high range and back to 2, 3, 4, 5 and there’s your 9 gears. For the 13 and 18 speeds this pattern is the same but the 13 speed the high range 4 gears are each split in half and an 18 speed both high and low range gears are split. It’s a big job and a learning curve to drive these trucks! Hope this helps!
@Rob F I drove long haul for over 20 years - luckily for me a friend's father owned an old MG when I was a teen - learned to double clutch long before I got to the big trucks.
@@Tokatt You can use the clutch if you choose,. In fact Eaton Fuller reccomends double clutching their transmissions. Thing is that floating gears is much easier, and as long as you do it right, it doesn"t hurt the transmission. I've been driving truck for 34 years, and I always float gears.
Tokatt , you’re suppose to double clutch. I have driven trucks in North america and Europe
again i say, this guy is a total savage. he stands behind a heavy truck dumping gravel out behind it and he almost gets buried in it. and he's like, "is this dangerous?" love it.
I think I get it now... the time-lapse / fast forward parts are where Andrew cusses like a sailor... lol! then he's all calm and cool when it's normal speed
Let your rpm drop 500 when up shifting
Raise them 500 when down shifting
Double it if your skipping gears
Also make sure your clutch is all the way down when putting it in gear at a stop
Hopefully that will help u out good luck
Most trucks with a non synchronized transmission have a clutch brake. Push the clutch pedal down as far as possible and the transmission will stop spinning so it will go into gear.
What's the deal with not using the clutch when shifting?
dre04mach keeps the clutch from wearing.
@@williamwatkins1996 wouldn't that put more wear on the tranny? I'd much rather replace a clutch than a tranny... seems like even when you nail the shift it still grinds just a tiny bit...
@@dre04mach I am curious to this too, I just shift my Peugeot 308 1.6diesel this way quite often, is that wearing down the tranny or not?
I live in a big city and with no back yard and now I'm looking at prices for used dumptrucks and excavators. Your videos are like crack.
Whiskey I
Check truck paper and fb market place deal also Craigslist. Storage places are a must for parking due to fuel theft
yeah, to add on to the thread of Whiskey I being serious and NOT sarcastic i got some friends who have a family business doing work in Brooklyn and they give the escavators tags and there are tons of hidden curb cut garages that open up big inside. They always stay in the money so far because they end up doing odd ball deals and acquiring property on the super cheap they used to do dirt lot paid parking for last Mile commuters and built them all up to hundred unit rental buildings and now they must be hundred millionaires on paper by now...
Arley McMullen what does that have to do with anything ? I work in Boston and we drive our dump trucks and excavators right into the city
Lol, they are
Hahaaaa!!! that made me laugh.
As they say about gears - "If you can't find 'em, grind 'em."
I just stumbled across this video, and it's the first one of yours I've watched. I'm a 72 yr. old guy, been around trucks and equipment my whole life, owned and operated triaxles, dump trailers, lowbeds, road tractors, and owned several backhoes, excavators, and dozers, and done all my own maintenance. So that being said, I wanted to offer you some corrective information. You referred to that Jake brake as an exhaust brake, but that's not what it is. It's an engine brake, which uses the engine's compression to slow the truck down, as opposed to an exhaust brake that blocks off the exhaust. The brake you have, and is a Jake brake, opens the exhaust valve just before it gets to the top of the compression stroke, thus relieving the compression just before it reaches the point at which it detonates. So what it's doing is slowing the engine down by using the compression just before it fires and makes power. That sound you hear in the exhaust is that compression being released. The older Cummins like yours have 3 seperate cylinder heads, that why that 2,4,6 switch. The Jake brake was invented by the Jacobs Manufacturing Co., the same one that makes the Jacobs chucks on drills. That was I think back in the 50's or thereabouts. They offered it to Clessy Cummins, one of the Cummins engine family, and he rejected the idea, so Jacobs started making them, and the rest is history. One more unrelated thing you didn't mention about that 8LL transmission, is that on that truck, I believe there should be an air switch on the dash somewhere labeled "deep reduction". That gives you all your gears in a very low ratio which is great for crawling around off road in a dump truck. Ok, that's all I wanted to say. Trying to be helpful, not arrogant !! Someone else may have already told you these things, but I didn't read all the comments.
This is a great advice, used to own several trucks all of different types of gear boxes, the rev for shifting gears are very important.
And your advise to Andrew are spot on.
* stands under dump bed as it’s dumping pea gravel *
“Is this dangerous?”
My mouth fell open! Andrew, what are you doing?
I lol'd
*then goes back in
Those Dump Gates have Killed A lot of people and claimed alot of fingers lol.. Sort of dangerous.
@@CerebralAilment I know a guy that got cut in half and killed when the cylinder failed and the bed came down, and another guy that got his head crushed
When the music came on and you did the side by side shot - holy moly. I thought the Ford was big. Didn’t realize how big the ten wheel was.
Look up super dump trucks on TH-cam. Your mind will be blown
Mining dumps like the Caterpillar 797 the wheel hubs alone are the size of the F850. Superdumps can be quite massive it all comes down to mission. When you line up a pickup vs 1ton dump box vs the f850 vs the international the is a big jump up in size and capacity.
That Ford is tiny
If you want to carry more think about a pup dump trailer for your 10 wheeler
Devin Anderson I take it you are exaggerating. I had the pleasure to work on a 797B last month. They are amazing giants. However, the f800 would carry two of the 797 hubs in its bed with ease. Lol I’m sure you knew this I just wanted to say, the F800 is tiny compared to the 797 but it ain’t no slouch! Even if it’s a damn Ford! Lol but as far as pure power and size, the 797 comes in at 650 tons vs the F800 at 18 tons...797 at 4,000 hp to the Ford’s ~230
Andrew, when I sit and watch any of your videos I am glued to the screen, how on earth for someone to have all that knowledge at such a young age is just mindboggling plus being fearless to tackle anything you are aces in my book bud.
That looks like a very fun truck.

Stands behind an open tailgate of a fully loaded 20 yd dump, with the body going up unleashing 1/4" stone and gets buried up to his thigh and says "is this dangerous?" Awesome!
I love this dude! 😂
Many people have died at a quarry getting buried. Never walk behind a loaded truck
This part of the video gave me anxiety.
Well to follow the other two comments you can clearly see he is thinking otherwise every time the Stone makes a noise and slides out faster..
😂
The way stood there wasn't that dangerous but you should never do that lmao 😂
Andrew, take it up to 17-18 hundred RPM then pull it out and drop it in at 14 hundred RPM.
That high/low switch should be up where you don't have to reach for it and lose momentum.
Right strange that it's so low wtf
The knob is supposed to be down by the switch. Someone put an extension on the lever cause that is apparently the cool thing to do lol.
can't you do it with double clutching???
Some old skool drivers swear by not using the clutch. If you know how to do it, it CAN be smoother than using the clutch, as speed can be lost in clutching, but it can wear out the transmission faster if you don’t do it right. The clutch is there for a reason, and not only for starting. Starting from a stop is the only time you put the clutch all the way to the floor.
@@dtktrucker yeah, I can not clutch on a tractor we have but driving a manual truck like that is a no go for me since I'm new to it, friend of mine can do it all day though.
I was 17 when I first learned to drive a ten speed. I upshifted at 19 hundred and downshifted at 21/22 hundred. Later when I worked for a sound company I drove a Peterbuilt 17 speed road ranger at 21. I started running a backhoe at 14.
Later in life I rented a track hoe and tracked loader to relandscape my yard. The contractor across the street doing a foundation pad came over one afternoon and said it looked like I knew what I was doing. I’ve always loved gizmos from planes to zero turn lawnmowers. Take care!
Not I’m the 70’s on a farm.
Nice Paystar! It's in amazing shape for a thirty year old dump truck.
Oh Shit! Hey, I just saw a Potential Killer, Andrew! Your truck does not have an Exhaust Brake, it has a Genuine By-God Three-Stage Jacobs Engine Brake. This the Very BEST you can get. The Killer is, your Clutch switch is not adjusted correctly, that is why the Jake kills the engine when you're in Neutral. It is up at the top of the clutch pedal, under the dash, and it has a little bendy antenna-spring-looking-thing that contacts the clutch pedal. It is adjusted too tight. Your engine SHOULD Idle with the Jake Turned On. I will explain how this can Kill you, Learned it The HARD Way. I was coming off a hill with 47 tons of coal, and coming down a steep to a 90-degree Left. Halfway through the curve, the transmission Jumped Out of Fourth gear, and the Jake Killed the engine. INSTANT Runaway. To make it Worse, Paystars have FULL Power Steering, and when the engine dropped dead the power steering died too. Without the engine running Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't steer that thing. The ONLY way you can cut the wheel without the engine running is to put your left leg up on the A-pillar to give yourself something to Push Against, and if you notice, there ain't enough ROOM to get your leg up. Long story short, I somehow managed to Kick In my Driver Magic and Get Out of THAT One by the Skin of my Teeth and the Grace of God. I will say, it took me half an hour to get my anus to Let Go of the Seat Cushion so I could get out and pee, and I farted foam for a Week. PLEASE Go Out Right NOW and adjust that switch Correctly, just back it off just enough that the engine will idle by itself with the Jake Brake ON. So I can SLEEP. This same Truck I was driving had run away with a previous driver, and he didn't know what happened, he just Bailed out, and let it Go. It ran off into the cliff and ground the whole driver's door and fender off. Saw the Tarper, and you REALLY need to move your Selector switch for the Hi-Range Up on the front or right side of the stick where your fingers can reach it easily, shifting will be MUCH Better.
jim nickles ***yes u r correct but he dose not know the difference so what the hell. at this point its moot.
@@libertybarker7401 i would argue that educational information is never a moot point .
Shit, this story made me clench a bit. Glad it worked out for ya brother.
That doesn't sound right , if you adjust the clutch bypass to where it idles in neutral with the clutch released then the Jake brake would not engage in gear either.. because the clutch is released and your adjustment kills the Jake brake.
For what you are describing to work right, you'd need a couple of other sets of switches on the shiftier to disable the Jake with the gear lever in neutral.
In total the system would have 5 switches to disable the exhaust brake, one for the clutch pressed, one for the throttle pressed; then one for the clutch released which would run thru two switches on the shift lever for the gear lever tipped forward and tipped back.
You'd need the tree extra switches to allow the first clutch switch to disable the exhaust brake when the truck is in gear and the clutch is pressed.
If something like that we’re to happen common sense would be to slam it back in to gear and let it restart itself Or a high enough gear to help stop itself with the brakes. You would still have air in the system. Still have brakes Just saying. Also to 47 tons as a load I call bs especially in a 10 wheeler. I’d have to check weights but I’m pretty certain the truck and load together wouldn’t even be that . 38 tons in an 18 wheeler is an overload
Cummins big cam 300hp with Jake brake the best engine ever u have a really nice dump truck
Who needs Netflix when you can watch Andrew with his toys. I love the honesty and no fuss presentation. How are you controlling your drone at the quarry while driving the truck?
Dude, your video notifications are my favorite TH-cam notification
Rip patrice
Andrew Im happy to see that the younger generation ( your age bracket ) still has interest and mechanical skills in repairing anything , keep up the great work !
Love how you load things. GENTLY. No just dropping it into the bed (and bashing the truck), always smooth, graceful traverses with the excavator (not cowboying it all over the place). Your respect for your tools is a pleasure to see.
Really enjoyed learning some of the ins-and-outs of driving a 10-wheeler. You provided good info about gear shifting and exhaust braking. Thanks.
Excellent purchase! I've said it before you needed this truck. The paystar is an old school all metal hood. No Fiberglas! The trans is a 8LL. It's the most desired trans in a dump truck today. You just need to get the hang of shifting it.

These pre-emission trucks are going to start holding their value really well. Nice clean old International.
California is requiring any truck over 14k gvwr to be retrofitted with a 2010 or newer engine with all emissions equipment including DPF
Trekker 2023 all trucks older than 2010 won’t be allowed entry into Cali.
By 2023 I will not be going to Cali
It's a Beauty & a great find !
California has always sucked wind !
It's been run by idiots pretty much as long as memory serves.
@@TrekkerMoto Nobody gives a shit what insanity California is up to this time and also they won't be able to now that their special ability to make separate emissions rules has been yanked by the Feds.
Glad to see you living my dream. Been watching the vids every evening for a few days now and find them very informative and interesting. You're a natural in every aspect.
Thanks Andrew for the time you spend to put the videos together, I know it can be a pain, and for me, it just makes everything take twice as long. I watch your videos from beginning to end.
I've watched movies in theaters that I didn't enjoy nearly as much as I enjoy your videos! Keep it up! !
you are a natural for fixing things. I just retired at 72 and did that kind of work all my life Rebuilt forklifts fork lifts for the last 20 years Had a body shop for 45 years. Lots of hard work but loved it,
LOL AWESOME LIL STORY GUESSING U ALSO WAS LIKE A.C. ON HERE DOING IT ALL THE HARD WAY BUT LOVING IT & STILL NOT EVER COMPLANING....
May you enjoy your retirement !
Drove a dump truck for about 8 months, got my med card and permit. But never got a chance to get CDL. Had to get a job with benefits.
Watching Andrew really makes me want my own dump truck and work for myself. Keep it up Andrew!! You are awesome!
You have a way to make it feel like I am doing something for my first time and figuring it out successfully as I go. For many of us you are living the dream in which hard work is actually fun.
Thanks, I always look forward to your next informative production! Fun and time well spent.
Those old Paystars last forever. Great choice 👌
That dump body will rust off of it before the truck wears out.
It's a grand old truck Andrew. I'm thinking the previous owner really looked after it, and that's why you got a good one here.
Maintenance is the key, and this video showed this to be true.
Thanks for the video.
Love your vids. I know it takes so much more time to make them than to just do the work itself. Great work!
I been watching this guy for like 4 hours now. Great videos. I'm hooked, keep up the good work
I agree, an interesting hour about dump trucks, which I knew nothing about.
Thanks for the video
I love the way he ends his video...no fuss, no begging for people to subscribe, just fade to black...perfect!!
9:40 Nice size compare. I didn't realize there was such a difference!
You're videos are really inspiring. Keep it up! Love the editing and range of views.
I just want to say thanks for some great content, lately when i come home and turn on the inter-net, your vids will just be playing non stop. addictive to watch someone getting some stuff done, without ads, lame ass commercials and other sorts of BS. Cheers.
One word for Andrew "Perseverance" - Persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. Determination!
I love how the first 3 minutes of the video is just *CRUNCH* *CRUNCH* every time he tries to shift. Keep at it man, it’ll be like riding a bike one day.
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
I cringed every time he shifted
lol, poor gears.
@@pauldavis5665 Working on big rigs, the gears and synchros are so big and built solid, unless you are going down hill and skip 3 gears, you won't ever really damage it.
You got the power now no doubt..and I have ALOT of intertainmentt. Can't wait .thanks Andrew..I'm not kidding youtbe is my world..it's all Real .& your the Star ..be watching you..I'm 65 and can't do this no more..
AND Andrew, never stop filming your businesses! You are incredibly knowledgeable, and a joy to see a young man picking things down, and then building it up again! And greet your dogs from me! Thorough inspections of all jobs are important!
"What kind of operation you running here?" As he has a water tank racket strapped in the back of the dump truck. Congrats on the new truck
I'm just going for a drive...
... in what?
Cruisin' down the road in my dump truck! 🤘
Andrew, thank you making such informative and inspirational videos. Your attitude to work is great and what you do you do correctly. I am retired and live in the UK on what we call a smallholding (homestead). I do many of the things you do but on a much smaller scale.
Your videos are in my opinion the most informative and most entertaining that I've seen so far.
Hey Andrew, I'm sure you've caught on to shifting this beast just fine by now and there's probably a ton of great advice in the comments. I couldn't help but drop one more here that has stuck with me from my crop hauling days: don't use the whole palm of your hand to push the shifter forward into gear. Instead rest your palm on the top of the shifter or use your fingers to push it forward. What can happen is that it can slip out of gear just as you apply power and violently force itself backward. I was lucky enough to just snap the top off the shifter when it happened to me, instead of breaking my wrist!
He needs the OEM shift lever in that truck. Move up the splitter and learn to shift it before the transmission.
Seems to have figured it out. Nothing wrong with floating the gears. Definitely lots of room for improvement in the shifter I agree.
You should really double clutch when learning tho. It's bad to grind gears obviously. Floating takes finesse
You never need to double clutch. Ever. All you're doing is wearing your knees out.
@@markpolice3585 ive never under stood double clutching. It still grinds unless your rpms are right.
The comments on double clutching. I drove way over 3 million miles maybe 4. Floating gears and it wasn't hard to learn. It saves your leg from cramping up and I could concentrate on my surroundings. IDK about others, I'm in my late 60's, lived in Colorado. I drove 1/3 of my miles, actually more, driving the Rockies and to the West coast. I drove in Canada. I'm rambling on so that's it. Bless all of you
Andrew. You are awesome. Your parents must be so proud of you. You are smart, hardworking and what you do not know you figure it out. My son is like you too. Love your videos.
You are an absolute inspiration. I have been trying to run my own business and some days I want to quit and go back to being told what to do. But then I watch everything you have accomplished over the years and it keeps my head in the game just wanted to say thank you man.
Thanks.
My man used grade 8 for his front license plate, SAVAGE
Clean Old Paystar you got there. I love seeing OLD LARGE IRON back on our roads. Nice truck
Each video is a fantastic story. Your grandchildren and their grandchildren will watch these videos and see what a legend you are
Andrew you’ve got a good mind on your shoulders. Most people who have their own business do not put their money back into the business in 10 years you will be bigger and making more money.Keep it up and good luck love your videos.
Pre select your range selector ( going from 4th to 5th) it makes for a smoother shift same way going down (from 5th to 4th)
Andrew- Your camera positioning for the Alt rebuild was awesome. I have the skinned fingers feeling...thanks for the huge effort!
Andrew I really like your videos. I have an office job and when I watch your videos I remember the old good and hard times working with my father with our Mitsubishi L200 pick up. He had a small advertising business, far smaller than yours, but it was really satisfying to see our signs and banners in their place at the end of our working day. Now I understand that was far more satisfying than a computer screen...
Andrew never start a big truck in gear. Always neutral i drove and was a heavy equipment operator engineer for 34 years. I drove tri axles and tractor trailer to haul the equipment to and from the jobs.
Never overload your truck. That's how accidents happen. Ive been driving since I was 16 till now @ 54 i never had a ticket or accident. My Dad was a Greyhound bus driver. Best teacher in the world.
One advantage of working on your own equipment is that you tend to be more careful with it because you know the cost in time and money that it takes to fix them.
Said it before and I'll say it again. Really enjoy the various comments made by your many fans. Primarily because so many of them are made by experienced men who know how to communicate. Thanks to you and them.
That truck lesson gear is the best I have ever seen. I love your videos
I always enjoy your narratives. And your ‘get it done’ attitude is infectious! Keep up the good work!
Andy: pull harder
Other guy: I'm pulling hard
Work ethic is fantastic , you outshine a lot of folks !
Andrew...your a blast to watch...better than netflix...lol as the gentleman said you are an inspiration for young boys and girls that with the hunger and desire to learn and become someone all you need to do is ask questions and most important just go do it! You learn that way. Your ability with patience and know with how is amazing. Keep it up...lots a viewers enjoying this stuff.
Super informative video, like the newer truck! Looks like the learning curve didn’t last to long. 👍🏻
I really like your new truck! good job.
I love watching your videos. You are so intelligent, about everything you do. You are clean talking. And have your life in order!
That is a nice rig Andrew and not surprised you gravitated towards it. Plus it has the Hummin Cummins. I like it. My past 30 years have been in industrial marine and diesel eclectic sets on the parts and service side. A rewarding career. I do envy your "in business for myself" . Keep it coming. The great jobs and the wonderful videos.
When you are working on the alternator always disconnect the battery
Always better to disconnect the Negative battery terminal than to do what he did, leaving the circuit complete (power live) when removing that positive lead from the alternator. A seasoned mechanic knows better than to work on a live circuit.
Maybe disconnect a hose or two to make life easier too. Just sayin.
@@auburnfolsom but imho Andrew is a seasoned mechanic to say the least, certainly not lazy.
@@pear7777 too all 3 of u... i very much agree .... but by now we all live to watch more video's of his & KNOW DANG WELL WHEN HE WRENCHES ON THING U KNOW FOR SURE HE DOES IT ALL THE HARD WAY ( HIS WAY ) BUT DONE RIGHT AS WELL & NEVER EVER NO COMPLAINING EITHER WAY........... WELL DONE THERE A.C.
@@auburnfolsom I think he takes too many chances
Nice truck, Andrew! Congratulations!
Nice truck Andrew. A friendly advice is when replacing an alternador disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid spark. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks.
Keep an eye on the bed floor. You might want to weld some plate on the floor.
Congratulations on the new truck. Learning to double clutch helps great content. Keep learning putting in the work pays off!
Congrats on your new rig ! Impressive. Love those front fenders. 👌
You ain't stopping this guy. Badass working man!!!
wow , nice set of wheels..should do the job..
Andrew takes the anxiety out of initial exposure. It's ok to not know what to expect. You don't grow if you don't go.
I can tell you are pleased as punch with this new truck...enjoyed it!
Nice rig grew up with my friend owning one 87 to just don't see many of them anymore great truck though beast!! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Good for you my dude thats such a nice truck!! I love watching your videos please keep theming coming you provide good, interesting content!! When you showed your newer truck 9:45 you should've had all 3 dump trucks lined up. That new one is so badass tho!!!
Love the sound of that great turbo engine in the Paystar 5000, it's infatuating ;-)
Backed this video up four times just to listen to the upshifts with that Cummins. Love the way big trucks sound.
I could watch these videos forever. I too started a business in my 20's. I was 27. Your attitude and work ethic will allow you to do anything you want. I was wired the exact same way. If you want it, Camarata Property Maintenance will have hundreds of those trucks. I did it for 13 years before selling my business. It was both financially relieving that the risk was gone and I could give my kids the life I wanted for them, and very difficult given the business was like my first child. My kids got to be the age where running 100mph all day just didn't let me do what I wanted to with them so the decision was made for me but it was tough. You will do whatever you want with your attitude, keep it up.
Nice truck! Should be a great addition for your business.
Your videos and drone shots are very good!
Congratulations on the new truck, it's a work horse by design and looks like it was well maintained.
Great job with the video and the explanation of your progression to a bigger truck. As always a little drone footage and close up repair work throw in, very well done.
I wish you many thousands of trouble free miles knowing you will maintain it and as a bonus it enhances your business image with a good looking 10 wheeler.
2 thumbs up Andrew, enjoy all your videos, and was really looking forward to this one after the teaser shot of it a while ago !!
Mr Andrew Camarata the one thing I have picked up from watching a large portion of your videos, is that you have a GREAT WORK ETHIC!.......................You get out there and bust your butt for what you have. You don't set on your butt expecting other people to support you!..............BRAVO!
Andrew you did a good find and purchase of that truck , it’s in beautiful shape 👍🏻.
You always have the coolest sound tracks.
Wow. Another outstanding video. Do you do all the editing yourself? I love how when you are fixing something you talk about it, let us see you screwing or unscrewing the at the start of the process, but then speed up the video. Just enough time showing what the heck is going on and needs to be done without killing us with unbolting or bolting something for 40 minutes. Also, you shine with narrating what your are about to do or when you describe your own learning curve. You sir are a "master manipulator" (in a totally good and positive respect I might add). You have an amazing ability to keep the audience's attention while getting the job done at the same time. That take major skills to do that. I saw that the video was an hour long. I said to myself, there is no way I'm hanging around for a whole hour to watch this. One hour later, I'm typing this comment. Keep the videos coming young man!
Sweet looking IH paystar
