Use to plumb trucks for a custom service/ lube truck company and had a engineer explaining the importance of several areas. Always use black pipe/ steel fittings on hydraulic/ oil systems because galvanized pipe fittings the coatings will flake off and ruin pumps and other systems. Your return filter needs to be installed in the vertical position to maximize it's effectiveness. And finally that shut-off valve handle either needs to be flipped around so open the handle is facing down or zipped tied in the open position. Vibration will cause the handle to shut closing off return flow if you don't. Just some helpful tips to prevent disasters in the future. I have alot of pictures from that period that I used to help train new employees showing exactly how we plumbed the chassis and tanks. Pictures have been known to better explain then one can explain ten different ways! @Dirt Perfect just trying to save you some headaches and $$$ in the future.
smaller tank return hose creates back pressure it should be the same size as pressure side or one size bigger is rule of thumb as well
Shouldn't the filter need to be on the suction side between tank and pump and the quarter turn ball valve between the dump valve and the tank needs rated to full system pressure ? As plumbed the filter could see full system pressure
@@j.b.caldwell7420 There is no pressure on the return side, UNLESS, you start the pump up with the valve closed. NEVER put a filter on the suction side. If it plugs up, you lose your pump. If it plugs up on the return side, it just bypasses the filter as it is a "bypass" filter housing.
@@bluegrallis So with the bed up and both ball valves closed and the dump valved tripped open - the filter body wouldn't see the cylinder pressure ? Maybe valves pn both sides of filter ?
@@j.b.caldwell7420 ANYTIME the return line valve is closed, you can easily blow the filter off the housing. That's why there shouldn't be a ball valve on the return, when you can put a check valve between the tank and the filter.
If the suction side is closed, you can't raise the bed. You can shell out the pump though.
If you raise the bed, get out of the truck and close both valves, you WILL have a failure by attempting to lower the bed.
Squeaky Wheel here; so nice that YT bring up this series with no searching!
I love a rainy day in Derby..... that means shop videos
Just a bit of advice from past experience.
Replace that tie wrap holding the J block to the cylinder with a metal one with rubber between the J block and the cylinder.
Plastic tie wraps tend to streach over time from heat and stress and you'll loose that rubber spacer possibly getting "hose knocking".
Hopefully, MBTS will come by to check your work! 😆 🤣 😂
I am not some type of engineer, but enjoyed the video just for the fun and entertainment. thanks Mike and Matt.
Thanks
Great job on location of filter, mounting it horizontal will create less of a mess when changing. Mounting it like that will require more often changes because all sediment will sink to bottom half of filter. I installed many wet lines on trucks over the years. Also galvanized pipe is a no no. And don't use Teflon tape on joints, use a aneorobic pipe sealant instead. In the instructions with your HYD system it should explain that use of tape voids warranty. The tape is just that, if any strands get in the system it wraps around pump gears, spool valves, check valves, etc. Your return hose should be same size if not bigger than your pressure hose, preferably bigger.
Exactly Dave, And a band clamp with rubber isolator not a zip tie. But we digress ... still love the videos. Hope the circuit works
great explanation of system thanks
@@casycasy5199 thanks. HYD systems are tricky, most will work just fine, but it's always best to have a efficient system. Systems that I installed were run 3-4 hrs each day and some 7 days a week. You learn from your mistakes in a hurry

@@buttheadsmith7012 I'm awake
Can you come.and see.me pleasep
when LT Dan is ready and you work with it and then when you look back on all the work you have done to get to that point you can be very proud of the LT Dan build
Also I wonder if you chatted with Matt on his international truck for a stake bed or do you like older square body 65series flatbed auto matric
I also wonder about a front winch mount and about a skid plate
They J hook fastened with alligator clamps or Zip T Ties
He needs to finish it, says The Squeaky Wheel, 1 year later!
Am liking your plumbing, making things easy to shut off, is a brilliant time saver. It will save money if your on a job if you need to carry out urgent maintenance or change something over in the field.
I will enjoy seeing lt.dan whenever you get him finished
Those magnetic drills are the ducks nuts...best invention ever
Great job Mr Dirt Perfect and Matt
Thanks 👍
Awesome DP you and Mr Millennial working on Lt Dan it’s coming together
You are really lucky to have Mr Millennium working with you-
He must be so busy now that pantomime season is here !!
#dirtperfect and #NYAMILLENIAL the puns are aplenty and the innuendos are rampant in this video. 😂😂😂
... an "Innuendo" is Italian slang for a suppository
@@maker-matt I'll take things I DON'T CARE ABOUT for a $1000 ALEX👍😂😂😂👍
Got to watching some of these videos back and started thinking Lt. Dan would look really cool with a full set of those wide all terrain super single tires on the back.
Dern it. I was fixin for bed and had to see a Lt. Dan video. Thanks Mike 🥱🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the great video Mike!
Metal sparks & burning rubber - sounds/smells😄 like an Outlaws race. Cool stuff!
LT DAN has come long ways .
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Matt
Thanks 👍
Looking good
Can’t wait to see Lt Dan moving dirt
Going to be a great truck
Looking good can't wait to see it done
Making it happen. Great job.
Looking Great Matt and Mike
A truly entertaining video on a dream project - Lt Dan. Glad the 'plan' paused and found the 'disaster' waiting to happen. Good catch.
..avoiding disaster is a good thing. stay safe and well...
Good job you two.
Mike it is nice to see most of the work. I’m one of those odd people that likes to hear the discussion on why you are doing what you are doing. I know it would make for much longer videos but on things like Lt. Dan it might be worth it. Thank you for what you do with your videos.
They have to remember most folk have a lot of subscriptions and if they begin to monopolise viewers time they get sidelined for shorter vid's.
Some jobs I do not want to know how it's done. Something's the customer does not need to know how.
Great job guys
Looks great guy's but yes it's just not the same without mbts in the shop as well.
This is the first time I've watched this LT Dan build. I'll be watching more of it. Thanks for sharing with us
Good one!!!! Goin in the right direction!!!!
Your gaining on it. Good video.
Really enjoyed the video.
The piano was fantastic
Thanks
Nice work!!!!!!
Thanks!
Great job N.Y.M. You are so tolerant of the big guy…
Love watching, great video. Can't wait to see it all done. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks
Truck is looking great, nice work,
Thanks 👍
Mike you and Matt are getting it done! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
For me a LT Dan day is a good day!!!
Love seeing the progress on LT Dan.
Great video Michael.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good thing this is a family channel. :) Have a great week.
Yes, more work done on Lt. Dan.
You all did a great job it looks better than factory keep up the great work Mike
It will be a nice addition to fleet. Have a great day
I'm looking forward to its first demo job. No more worries about plugging the gate. One thing is certain- you're going to have one of the coolest and most capable dump trucks in the land.
It’s coming together nicely. Matt is funny. Can’t wait until MBTS is back. I miss his laugh and the way you both kid around. Love the channel
Hey been waiting on this Video. So I watched all my other videos and waited till everyone went to bed so i can watch and enjoy the Video thanks brother
Thanks glade you enjoy
The Technik is the man's loving Playfield. And always specific is it the "great Boys" to fascinate. Good video 🔧🛠️🔩⚙️ greeting 🇦🇹
Its time for the...2023...Lt Dan !!!
Another great video of working on Lt. Dan . It is going to be one amazing truck when you all get done with building it . Looking forward to seeing it done and working .
Thanks
Excited to see the progress on Lt. Dan. When you all have it finished, it would be great to see All of you together in a celebration. Maybe getting together to cook a stew in a open area in a big cast iron pot or something! Just a big get together for all involved and family too😁😁
Great job Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
Good Morning Mr. Dirt, Very impressive assembly! Food for thought for when you paint the tank - add a small red heart somewhere on the tank to show your love for this awesome truck! Have an incredible day! Jim
That turned out great. Lt Dan is looking great. Stay safe
Thanks
good job on LT Dan keep it up guys love it,
Thanks 👍
I'm watching you two, and I looked at my book for a second and when I looked back at the video I thought that guy was Mr. Sparky, didn't know y'all he had it in fast foward.😂😂😂😂
Can't wait to see it on the road! Looking good guys, Almost looks like you knew what you were doing! LOL 😁✌🏻🇺🇸
Ya gettin' there !!
Great job
Thanks
Good Work on extensive Hydraulic hose routing and Valve installation.
Thanks
I worked for Napa and had to make hoses and you are for sure right about that smell.
Lol yup
You can tell Mike isn't used to handling big hose. Lol God bless
from the Netherlands thanks for the video DP .
the truck look nice . and finally come together a little bit . hope the videos now follow each other
We love your interaction with each other ! You guys are extremely lucky to have A great working atmosphere you guys work well together
Thanks
It's funny how I look forward to those rainy days now as in hocked on the Lt Dan vids
Nice looking truck!
Thanks
Plumbing hydraulic systems are easy if you use the SWAG method of measurement. Works quite well. Nice job on running the hoses guys.
Have a good week
Thanks
Great video buddy 👍
Thanks
Cool video
Nice gob with the hose set up
All my old wreckers had the Chelsea pto systems and wow, your system is a rocket ship over a simple hydraulic system for a wrecker. Granted mine had to have power up and down as it required that to haul the bed back on as well as push it under the load. Even my little five ton dump trucks with three stage dual cylinder systems were not that many pipes and hoses. I got lost past that actuator or should say might of been the only part I did understand. I just wish mine would of had that option of air or electric instead of cable controls. Thats a plumbers nightmare getting all those tight and pointed in a working direction so my hats off to the two of you.
Looking good Lt. Dan your humans are doing a great job on you. When you go out into the world and start your career you should bring these humans with you in case you start feeling a little down in the dumps. Great video
Enjoyed
We enjoyed the video and especially the humor. 👍👍🇨🇦🐶❤
Thanks 👍
For $35, you can toss that shut off valve above the filter housing, and put a check valve in it's place. It will always restrict back flow from the tank to the filter, but never restrict flow from the filter to the tank. (If you put it in the right direction anyway)
The first time somebody shuts that manual valve off( or it vibrates closed) and forgets to open it before starting the pump, you WILL have all you fluid on the ground below the truck and might lose the pump in the process, if it isn't shut down before the tank is empty. There isn't a spin on filter that will contain that oil if the return to the tank is closed.
I know how that goes on a self propelled hydrostatic crop sprayer, I got interrupted by an emergency call out, went back to it and fired up the machine, forgetting the tap was closed she blew the filter out under the front of the cab like a torpedo and dumped the whole 40 gallons of oil on the floor before it was shut down. By the time that was cleaned up and fixed I didn't earn a cent that day it actually cost me money !
Both operator inflicted, if there has been a hyd burst or leak turn it off , so you turn it back on once repaired train yourself to day it
@@geo752 Its one of those things that happens when working in busy service shops dealing with farm equipment when half the country sides busy and 12 hour plus days 7 days a week for 6 weeks at a time. Guys get called away from jobs, It's kinda fun somedays when you've done 15 other things that came in the door interupting you. That's not including the job you started rebuilding 2 weeks ago while waiting for parts and trying to make sure that's 100 % and the guy needs it back last week . There are a lot of Ag mechanics walking around mentally and physically burned out after that kind of work level and hours. It's getting harder to find guys that will work those hours in shops and actually on farms to, they want a life without all that.
Sweet build on the hydraulics, good job.
Thanks 👍
OK ,it is December 31st ,2022 when do we get too see Lt. Dan again ??? 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🤠
Looking good, all I can say ! 👍
Thanks
Those Magdrills are a lifesaver., DP, Ten thousand comedians out of work, and look who's trying to be one. I thought someone was MIA.
Well plumed guys! I guess by now you have found this but there is a plastic plug still in the top of the valve that you just installed. And yes those hoses are expensive but you raise a load and feel good because they are fresh. Good video! 💯
Nice job plumbing
Thanks
Lt. Dan is coming along nicely! Good catch on the hose issue, that sure WOULD be a disaster. I'm 64 and had to go on disability, & having worked since I was 16 I really miss not only the satisfaction of a job well done, I also miss some of the guys I worked with. Said all that to say that's one of the reasons I enjoy your videos, the camaraderie & joking & joshing you, Matt & MBTS display reminds me of some good times I used to have with them. Looking forward to seeing the finished truck/first run!
Like the videos Mike on Lt. Dan .
Thanks Leo
Good job👌👍👍👍👍🙏
Thanks
Hydraulics...check. Oh that smell, it never leaves. It's been years since I worked at making hoses but I could smell it when you were cutting. LOL
Can’t wait to see the bed extended to its full height. 👍
Your jobs go really well with all that banter bro, good catch on the high pressure hose too. Safe travels up your way
Thanks Ken
I watch your videos and think if you're this good with 1 hand imagine the production you'll get when you have to use 2. Another great video!!
Lol thanks
I love this build. Fun to watch. When I’m not wrenching I watch others wrench. Am I nuts?
Now I've worked on alot of tippers in my life and that is without any doubt the best and neatest plumbing I've ever seen DAF VOLVO scania Thompson all of them need to watch this video
Thanks mark
Mr DP, I believe this will go down as your finest job ever, meaning Lt. Dan, your Father would be proud!
thanks
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
nice job
Thanks
Looking good Michelle, may be time to double up on the Wheaties! 💪. Hoses kicking your butt! Lt. Dan is gonna be worth the wait, kinda jealous i want one. 😁. You gotta good crew around you, keep up the good stuff.
We’ll looks like a professional install gents 👍🇨🇦
