Depending on when that truck was last used, a lot of older trucks have shut off valves to the heater core on the engine. People used to shut them off in he summer to help the a/c work better. Also the heater cores could plug up with dirt from the cooling system and the tubes in the core are the smallest in the system and plug. You can usually flush them clean with some work.
Yep!
There is two valves one going to the heater and the other is a return to the radiator.
That is exactly what I was thinking.
@@farmercraig567 &
I agree
I think that is wonderful that you got Snowmobiles. I have two Arctic Cat Snowmobiles myself. One is a 1991 Arctic cat Wildcat 700 and a Arctic Cat ZRT 800 Snowmobile.I been Snowmobiling for 49 Years.
Merry Christmas to you and Grant. You have got the brightest smile ever. Grant is such a good guy. You fit well with each other.
Ps With the peterbuilt and to simple sheck the thermastatic valve if both hoses where hot it sounds like the thermastat frozen . Merry Christmas to you both looks like santa found you .❤
Check all fuses first, take lower dash panel off on right side, see if temp actuator moves. Have had problems with pop rivets holding door to rod break off, plastic linkage wears out or break peg off
Merry Christmas to you guys! I love the way you are both so optimistic each time you share your everyday adventures!
It's not Andrew 's ch. Lol
Having driven 5.5 hours in the cold once, I know how that feels Grant. Many thanks for sharing your year with us, we are honored that you took us along your journey, and what a journey it has been. Here is to next year. Cheers.

Hello how are you doing today
Will love to know you if you don’t mind sending me your gmail address so that we talk on google chat
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
I didn’t realize that you have such beautiful eyes 👀.
There’s your compliment for that day .
Merry Christmas to Grant and Laura from Texas! Been a little chilly here too. Looking forward to going through the whole cycle of farming with you again in 2023.
Merry Christmas from Florida where it is in the low 30's this morning, not cold enough for me but it is for your regular Floridians!
Merry Christmas to you and Grant and your entire Family 🎄🎁🙏 Glad to see you made it home safely and Grant didn’t freeze too badly
If your heater hoses are warm and you're not getting heat I would start by clearing out your heater core. Run a garden hose to it to flush it until the water comes out clear. I had a couple heater cores work great after flushing.
Merry Christmas from Canada we sure had a cold snap probably what you're getting right now I wear Carhartt bib pants that are insulated with electric pants and an electric top it got down to -40 with the wind chill and I'm outside for several hours at a time it's a strategy to stay warm but if you do it anything survivable in Comfort
Merry Christmas Laura and Grant. Your work ethic, knowledge, common sense, and willingness to ask for guidance will continue to help you two through farming and life!

Hello how are you doing today
Will love to know you if you don’t mind
Regarding the snow mobiles, I grew up in Western Nebraska not far from you guys and we did a lot of snowmobiling in Eastern Wyoming during the winter time. Best fun ever. If you have any desire to know where , message me . Soooooo much fun!!!!!!!
you could have a plugged heater core, also check for mouse nests by the heater core. new bearings and a new hub cap aren't too bad of a cost for what you paid for it.
Merry Christmas to you all!!!
I am very happy for you guys for purchasing a truck, I know how helpful it is for material handling. I pray for you guys for getting all the prosperity.
Thank you and Merry chirstmas
With both hoses being warm, check the blend doors under the dash. Odds are the cable is in needs of replacement.
Merry Christmas to you and Grant, Laura, and the lot. You sure are a little cutie you make my heart sing with joy.
Merry Christmas to you and Grant as well.
Cool old truck, and sleds as well, as a 30 year trucker I can tell you the 9 speed is one of the easiest to learn on and is a good tough transmission.
Yea unless your used to a 10 speed and try to turn it into a 10 speed like I did once or twice you learn very quickly it don't work out lol
@@spike3082 true, my favorite is the 18. Never been a 10 speed fan, there’s something unnatural about having to compress the spring for 5th gear.
@Chris Lovett that's what I'm used to drove a 10 speed most of my 10 years on the road
I drove trucks in the 80's and everything I ever drove was a 9 speed.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
I watch another farmer whose semi-truck had no heat, and it was a clogged heater core. A simple fix--once he could get to it. I'd plan on reworking both front hubs while you have plenty of time. Happy new year to both of you--and the cat!
I've got two of the 2003 600's and they run great and provide plenty of speed for our Vermont trails. Both have electric starts that does save your back!!!
I like your truck nice for your operation. Series 60 is a solid engine I've ran several of them, and if you find it a little underpowered which on the flat Nebraska roads it should be fine, but I believe they make a tuning program that will give you more power than you'll ever need. Good luck with it I think you're going to like it. I think Laura will easily be able to drive it, it's a lot less complicated than her combine that she run with ease. And have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Pulled tandems grossed out at 120,000 with a turned up one-would run with most of them.
The Series 60 was the standard heavy duty engine for decades…in all kinds of applications. Now, as for keeping the fuel from gelling…do you have heating pads for the diesel vehicles?
Wishing you all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas, and a Happy and Blessed New Year
Merry Christmas from my family to yours. Hope you get all the bugs worked out on the semi, and what great looking snowmobiles!! That steak you and Grant ate for dinner was huge and looked delicious!! 👍😊

Have a safe and festive Holiday Season Grant and Laura. Merry Christmas to all!🎅🏼✨🎄🎁☃️
Really enjoying following your adventures, you both are adorable! Happy New Year!
They seem to be a lucky pair with all their tractors, trucks, cars, snowmobiles, dirtbikes and so on...
With all their duties, chances, adventures and opportunities.
And they are an inspiration for other people:
Take control of your life and do something with it. That's it.
Merry Christmas Laura and Grant. Congrats on the purchase of a truck. Hopefully it serves you well

Congrats on the truck purchase. We just bought a 1990 379 Pete, also on equipment facts. We will be pulling a 40’ Timpte hopper. I drove it home 200 miles with a brake problem, but like you, it got me home safe.
Merry Christmas, Laura and Grant. Your videos are always interesting if not fun to watch. Keep warm.
Merry Christmas you crazy kids. The transmission is a double "U" shift pattern. Usually on the older transmissions. It means it's an overdrive unit. I had a 96 Pete that I miss dearly. There's a damper that separates the heater ducting and the AC ducting in the cab. It could be that the line to that is not working. At least, my truck had that. Not sure on yours. Peace and Love, Choo Choo
Merry Christmas to all!! Thanks Laura and Grant for the awesome content this year.
Happy Festive Season !
Merry Christmas to you guys and your family, may next year be your best.
Merry Christmas 🎄 Laura and Grant
Merry Christmas to you both, as well as your families. Keep up the great work. Have a safe and happy holiday season
Most people go to their local store or super-store for their Christmas presents, not Laura & Grant. Looks like Grant has got a winter project to do on the semi-truck.
A very Happy Christmas & New Year to you both, love from Mike. ❤
Wow, does anything ever not need repairs when I buy used. It makes for good wrenching. Congratulations on your fun and farming purchases.
Just wondering, would multiple trailers instead of maintaining an extra engine and finding a driver solve the efficiency problem. Love your video content. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

ski doo Summits are off the trail mountain sleds made for deep powder... Good luck finding that in Nebraska. You'll have to take a trip to Wyoming or Colorado.
Merry Christmas, Laura and Grant. I look forward to seeing what farmers do in the winter.
Most farm babys are born in the fall / late summer. Do the math.
All of my trucks had 60 series Detroits. They're just getting broken in at 1 million miles. Good luck with that Pete and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
PS: The one problem I had with that engine was the short rubber boot on the Turbo Charger. That went so many times that I carried an extra in the cap.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today?hope all is well with you?God bless you!!❤
This adventure remind me how once I had to ride with bicycle at dark (evening) some hour and half in freezing wind (let say - weather check wasn't done good enough to notice much colder evening after otherwise lovely day with friends) - had to aim breath out to left ear, right ear and nose in repeat to keep them "alive".
Being a daycab, I'd be putting full fenders on it, or atleast a headache rack to protect that window.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Down Under! 🎄☃️❄🎉👍🇦🇺
They used to make shutters for the front of truck radiators that you could close in cold weather, but they won’t help if the heater does not work!
Hey Grant I drove from Milwaukee to Ft Richardson in Anchorage in December 1974,in a 66 VW Micro Bus. Air cooled with a hopped up 65 hp engine. It was in the +30's when I left Wisconsin. Below zero° F. from Ft Nelson BC. To Anchorage AK.
Grant maybe disconnect the heater hoses and pressure test the heater core. Sounds like you're getting hot cooling liquid and fan but zero heat.
You got a great engine in that truck, worked on them for over 20 years. Pay attention to the alternator and AC compressor mounting bracket to the front eng gear housing. They can get loose and wear into the front cover which can be very costly.
We had a -43 F. temp here in Casper, Wyoming. We get cold air that goes up and then comes down right on Casper. Wind chill was -70's.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Guys.
Might need a new heater core for the heating. Might have a leak!
Merry Christmas
A blessed happy new year to everyone and prosperous 👋👍❤️🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Laying odds its the heater core plugged, and with the way the back of cab was it had a sleeper at one time, my second otr truck was a 98 377 sfa Pete 500 hp 12.7 same 9 spd with a splitter box ( 13spd conversion) only advice I'm going to offer is have the oil cooler checked out
You should maintenance all the bearings my friends. Flush out the heater core and replace all of the coolant. Change out the thermostat. It is not uncommon for people to remove them. Thermostats do get Jammed open when their springs break. Make sure the new thermostat is in the right direction or you will over heat and ruin your engine. Change out all the rear end fluid.
Hi from east Tennessee I'm so glad you did a you tube channel I watch one and subscribed I enjoy the videos you make I've farmed most of my life I watch my you tube videos every night before I go to bed I have a few favorites and you are for sure one of them I've been watching your videos so I will end up watching them all thanks for sharing part of your life with us love the videos caint wait for the next one keep up the awesome videos Merry Christmas ⛄🎄
Your axel is a set back axel. That is better than mine! Headlights have been discontinued, there are no viable aftermarket’s available. From our experience if you drive on washboards one headlight will be looking for bait while the other goes fishing.
Ours had 4.11 rear ends, I changed them to 3.77 ratios. If you have any issues reach out to C&H truck parts in Sioux City or B&D trucks in Blair. They have been very helpful to us getting started and finding reman and used parts, Peterbilt parts are hard to find for my 1990 377. Good luck!
Merry Christmas to both of you
Merry Christmas!! I believe Grant said both heater hoses were hot, but still no heat blowing. I’ve seen it a couple times before, there is the shutoff valve under the hood, and sometimes there is a secondary shutoff valve under the passenger seat.
Both hoses are hot means it's flowing thru the core. It's the temperature blend door closed is the problem...... even if the core has red dog packed in it it will still generate heat as long as the blend door is open......
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family
Merry Christmas kids. You've got a fun place to visit on my computer. Stay safe
Make sure the water valves are open on the heater hoses are open.
Daycab conversion......it had a sleeper on it thats why such a gap between back of cab to the cables mount post.
Have a Merry Merry n a Happy Happy n dont forget to make Merry Happy.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I in Pa. And Friday night my locks to my doors froze. It took me forty minutes with WD 40 and heating up my key to unlock my truck. It was minus 14 with the wind chill. The temperature was 4 degrees. Grant should be more careful with cold weather. Always carry a wool blanket in your pickup just for situations like this.🙂🙂✝️
Shut off valve for the heater lines are usually on the passenger side of the engine...make sure they are opened up...I've driven a lot of older trucks
Awesome a 377 Peterbilt with a 60 series Detroit!! I drove one of the at a big farm I worked on years ago. I have hauled more grain and sawdust than I would like to remember. that is a great truck on the farm. tons of parts available.
There are truckers who do a little farmin' and there are farmers who fill in the time between planting and picking with a little truckin' . There will be days when you see three cabs just sitting there. Then the fun begins..... joe
Merry Christmas to everyone on Laura farm.
Starting snowmobiles in negative temperatures is a good workout.
Nice looking semi and snowmobiles Grant and Laura
Years ago when I drove truck I carried spare mudflaps. They came in handy to put in front of the radiator in cold weather. Always remember when you buy a vehicle used, to some extent you were buying someone else’s problem. Bad wheelbearings and no heat. However if not much else is wrong with the truck it would be good for harvesting and moving equipment around. Series 60 engines are excellent.
Merry Christmas to you and all your family 👪
Merry Christmas Laura and Grant. I hope you can fix the heater and have much fun with the snow mobiles.
God bless you all hope you are having a blessed day much love and hugs andi from the uk xx
Those snowmobiles are special made for use above 60 degrees only...
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄❤
Love how you two partner. From Grant not even hesitating to ask Laura if she wants to drive the semi home, to working out how to get oil on that front bearing. Love your content but glad I don’t live where it gets to -5* without the windchill! Mercy!!!
0:06 thanks UMC for your support 👍😎✊
Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🤶⛪
That sure is COLD, it was 80 degrees at 1:00 PM in Culver City. CA (So Cal) today. It’s unseasonably warm or is too. Not unseasonably COLD 🥶🥶🥶🥶 at all 🤯. Good Luck 👍.
Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas Grant and Laura! And Scotty!
6:00 minutes in The coldest thing I've ever done was just last Thursday; Duck hunting in 0 f weather with 25 mph winds, and trip and fall into the duck lake, face down to my neck; water in the chest waders, both arms and my shotgun completely submerged; but I only had a 750 yard ride back to a warm barn, and a couple of cold frosties while the dryer did its work. The only positive thing is Nobody actually saw me do it!
Merry Christmas to you and all your love ones!
Texas truck, the heat valves were shut off most of the time. Coolant needs to flow regularly through the core to keep it clean. I'm guessing the core is 80% plugged and the 20% flow which is enough to make the hoses hot is not enough to begin warming the interior on such a cold day.
Merry Christmas from Tennessee
Merry Christmas,keep each other warm.hope you didnt get shafted with that truck,good luck with it.
I hope you're taking care of the Black Kitty Cat. Hope you're keeping him warm! Please!
Your can do attitude & smile, your wonderful husband and Scotty made my Christmas brighter and restores a bit of my faith in Humanity. Thank you Laura and Grant! Looking forward to videos on the new truck. Would like to see a video on that wheel bearing. Maybe Grant needs to watch some Vice Grip Garage youtube videos for some inspiration. Happy New Year kids!
Merry Christmas from Scotland 🏴
Check out the heater core and see if it is hot if it is hot then the fins might be plugged up and air can’t blow through it. If that is the issue you might need to be boiled out
When I was a kid everyone had snow mobiles in ks but that was 30 years ago. We only get snow 1 to 3 times anymore and it doesn't stay.
A big thumbs up for seeing Scottie!
Merry Christmas!!!
There maybe a electronic valve in the coolant lines. Be close to the heater core in location.
Now you can go north to MN an ride with Zac.
You need to have a mechanic go thru it bumper to bumper. Checking oils an other fluids. Like other person suggested check for water cutoffs from waterpump to heater core, now take core out an wash. Great engine an transmission. Add fenders to rear duals.
Looking good, easy to maintain and nice enough with long wheel base. Most older trucks have a shut off for water heater, give you a grand for the truck,’!! You replace the front bearings!lol
So, you have a winter semi project.
1. Inspect all the bearings
2. Inspect all the brakes.
3. Change the tranny oil.
4. Change the differential oil.
5. Change the engine oil.
6. Change all the filters.
7. Inspect all the lights.
I bought a brand new Gatormade gooseneck trailer 5 hours from my home. 4 hours from home the plastic hub broke and came off. I stopped at a truck stop and found a used potato salad bowl and made a hub and filled it with hub oil and stopped and checked it several times on the way home to check it but it made it no damage. I feel your pain ! Good looking truck ! Way to go Grant !
Merry Christmas to you all!
