This 1998 Peterbilt 379 decided to chunk a hole in the block so we forked over a couple grand and put a fresh rebuild in. Do we know what we are doing? Absolutely not. Are we having fun? Yes.
Mad respect for not making this a 15 part series with every little detail that goes on for months. This deserves at least a million views in my opinion.
Cooper, you and your friends rock, dude. 👍 This was awesome. Most young men y'alls age can't even change a flat tire or change oil. I think it's that mullet. 😎
People just aren’t motivated for shit except for parties and going to the bar nowadays, I’ve done a bunch of work to all my cars and plan to keep wrenching on them, won’t buy new and never will
Thank you for not making this into one of those trolling videos that becomes a 37 part series about rebuilding a truck. Start to finish in one video. Love it !!
Men with dreams, no fear, and a willingness to try are the things that make America great. I love the honest approach to filming. No sugar coating, just honest filming
Your brothers have good taste. I'm not a trucker, but Peterbuilts are the coolest trucks. I noticed your Dutch name and it caught my attention. Actually your beautiful face caught my attention first. Anyway, I have Dutch ancestry too and van means from and Duyn means dune, so your ancesters centuries ago were from the dunes. I know a little Dutch language, but not enough to amount to much. My Grandfather is where the Dutch genes came from and he and his brothers were super tall, around 6'6". Is your family also tall?
Cooper the dowel guides were a good idea, after you cut the bolt heads off, sometimes it helps to bevel the ends with the grinder. It helps for letting the holes line up and lets it fit together easier. A project that size, it's always great to say no friendships were harmed in the making of this video. Greetings from N.W. IOWA
Huge props to you guys. I would have never taken on something like that at your age. Buying older, pre-emission trucks and fixing them up is the best way to do it!
You and your buddies are talented Cooper. I saw your friend using petroleum jelly as a lubricant. I used some today on the wheels of my closet doors to stop them from squealing. They are on top of the doors and run on a track.
You remind me of my brothers, back in the 60’s and 70’s,always fixing something, with friends, all learning and laughing together, and all greasy and happy, feeling accomplished after such a project. Love watching you Iowa boys from Michigan.
I am proud of you Cooper. My favorite uncle and my maternal grandfather (who died two weeks after I was born) were race car drivers and mechanics. My uncle taught me how to work on my cars and tune them myself. I never rebuilt an engine but could replace parts. My first car was a Cutless Supreme with a 455 four barrel carburetor with dual exhaust. It was the fastest car at the private high school I attended. My second car that I got to go to college was a 1975 Eldorado convertible with a 501 cubic inch engine. It was the largest production engine at the time. None of our cars got better than 8 miles to a gallon of gas. Thankfully gas was only 25 cents a gallon at the time. So I am loving your videos. They are bringing back memories since one of my younger brothers welds and the other three each have skills besides their college degrees. My great, great, great, grandfather bought 1.25 square miles of property from the government in 1845 and the family has been farming it ever since. Mostly sweet potatoes but occasionally sugar cane, corn, sorghum, and soy beans. They do crop rotation and one uncle has one of the largest automated dairy farms in southwest Louisiana so they grow feed corn on some of the land. Great job and talent my friend. I was a slow learner probably because I am the oldest of 5 sons and was raised by a black nanny. No pre school or socializing till I was 6 or 7 years old and somewhat spoiled. Even had the housekeeper in college do my laundry, cleaning, and cooking until I moved to New Orleans with my first job at 25 years old.
I'm very impressed with you young gentlemen. I hope that this is not the last of them and you guys get a chance to learn more on these types of builds. I basically learned the same way Cooper, it was back in the fifties when I started for my dad pull and place to full on build rigs. It took me to alaska where I made tons of money doing this kind of work. I'm seventy two now and so you have made the new generation truck entrance. I wish I could still do this kind of work as it gets into your whole system
Watching you fellas work on the truck reminded me of watching my dad work on cars when I was young. Somebody always brought their car for "Creeper " (dad's nickname) to fix their car. I enjoyed watching the video immensely. Terrific job on the rig, looks good.
Your personality is so totally different on your channel than when you happen to show up on your families channel. You can tell you are enjoying what you are doing and it shines through bright ☀️.
You guys are awesome! It is great to have buddies that work together like that. I did my fair share of bringing old vehicles back to life like that. I was a good time.
No it is not a problem... It just means... They made a racing engine! [Because it's much lighter, Eh?] (That what we told everyone back in Jr High, when they asked... "What are all these extra parts?")
From your brother's this old house to your this old truck. I drove a Fire Red 70 Olds Cutless for 480 thousand miles and I liked it because easy to work on, lots of room. With the radiator off and fan off I could almost stand inside. Only a PCV value so very little plumbing. You tuned it with a screw driver and your ear. After working on it, Nothing like turning the key for the first and hearing it start. You know the feeling. Music.
Good to see you and what you are up to. It's been a while. We here you held the farm together while your family was sick. Way to go. I miss seeing you on you on Cole's channel. I'm glad to see you are well and doing all kinds of things I think Cole said you are now hay bailing already. We need video of that new bailer working. Take care Cooper.
I'm a retired Truck driver, I'm surprised myself by watching the build, I loved Driving, never seen the Engine rebuilt before, Cooper the louder the Jake Brake, the Better !! Lol. I know, I know, but be still my heart ♥️ Diesel in the A.M. 😁 OMG it's the Best....great Video 🌴🍊🐊🌺👋😊
When I was your age I used that “ 4x4 push pole trick” on a hay wagon once. My Dad had a conniption fit when he saw it and I got an hour of safety instruction.
Awesome guys , anytime young guys turn wrenches and are not playing those games is great! I started working on my engine's at 14 , motocross bikes first , then everything else! Keep up the great work !!
Nice truck . The first time you fire it up after a big rain you'll wish you had those rain caps on . Sooty black water on white paint . Good job guys .
60 series Detroit’s are my favorite they’re easy to work on parts are readily available and very affordable they don’t have a lot of torque but they get the job done when paired with the right transmission in gear ratio.
Not bad for a couple of guys looking like hippies. Who don't believe in coveralls or steel toed boots, for falling parts/ bolts. There is disposable gloves out there just for this. Really unorganized, but you guys did the job. And that's a miracle.
I know what you mean about loud jakes! I drove a 94 Pete 379 with a 60series Detroit. Back in Late 90s Great video. And excellent rebuild. Nice lookin Pete! 🇺🇸👍👍.!
It takes a dam lot to impress me especially when I see a lot young pecker head guys but I am definitely impressed!!! These young men have it going on. Got this bad boy in and started it right away in record time. Looks like they are doing it right.
Mad respect for not making this a 15 part series with every little detail that goes on for months. This deserves at least a million views in my opinion.
A job like this and you are all still friends and no one was harmed in the filming of this video. Amazing! Good seein ya Coop.
In youth its amazing what a case of beer and motivation can do :-)
Cooper, you and your friends rock, dude. 👍 This was awesome. Most young men y'alls age can't even change a flat tire or change oil.
I think it's that mullet. 😎
Not sure it's the Mullet, but agree on the youngen's today...
People just aren’t motivated for shit except for parties and going to the bar nowadays, I’ve done a bunch of work to all my cars and plan to keep wrenching on them, won’t buy new and never will
Can't change the oil? They don't know how to check the oil or even know there is oil. Sorry, am an old guy. Great video Cooper
Thank you for not making this into one of those trolling videos that becomes a 37 part series about rebuilding a truck. Start to finish in one video. Love it !!
It's kind of sad that's not an expectation on YT, the algorithm is fucked.
Because you can rebuild a truck in in 14 minutes.
I just seen that other one
COOPER! Nice to see you young gentlemen doing something so productive. Way to go.
I'm an older lady, but I really enjoy seeing watching all the Cornstar boys and their friends.
The knowledge you all have is frickin amazing!!!
Men with dreams, no fear, and a willingness to try are the things that make America great. I love the honest approach to filming. No sugar coating, just honest filming
Wow, really makes me happy to see young men take on a project like this. The truck is sweet. Way to go.
Hey Cooper, my two older brothers only drove Peterbuilts glad to see you back on your channel 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your brothers have good taste. I'm not a trucker, but Peterbuilts are the coolest trucks. I noticed your Dutch name and it caught my attention. Actually your beautiful face caught my attention first. Anyway, I have Dutch ancestry too and van means from and Duyn means dune, so your ancesters centuries ago were from the dunes. I know a little Dutch language, but not enough to amount to much. My Grandfather is where the Dutch genes came from and he and his brothers were super tall, around 6'6". Is your family also tall?
Nice work guys! Good to see the younger gen getin' er done!
Cooper the dowel guides were a good idea, after you cut the bolt heads off, sometimes it helps to bevel the ends with the grinder. It helps for letting the holes line up and lets it fit together easier. A project that size, it's always great to say no friendships were harmed in the making of this video. Greetings from N.W. IOWA
Another suggestion grind a slot after beveling then you can take them out with a screwdriver
I'm impressed. Glad that we got guys like you all. Looking good.
Huge props to you guys. I would have never taken on something like that at your age. Buying older, pre-emission trucks and fixing them up is the best way to do it!
I love how Cole is “why” things work, Coop is “how” things work! Enjoy your family!
Great job Cooper & friends!!! Keep the video's coming!!!!
Great job...when I was a teen, back in the 60's, we thought it was a big deal to swap out an old GM 6 cyl. You guys rock on doing real swap!
Considering this engines ancient lineage, they too swapped out a GM 6 cylinder engine. :)
Bravo to you boys for taking on a job like this! Can't wait to see it finished! DANG! Sounds like a fricken jet!
Good to have u back. Great group of friends there !
Glad to see you young guy's just jump into a big project like this and knock it out of the park.
Well done Cooper and his groups of close-nit mates doing all that work on Peter... :-)
You and your buddies are talented Cooper. I saw your friend using petroleum jelly as a lubricant. I used some today on the wheels of my closet doors to stop them from squealing. They are on top of the doors and run on a track.
"Are you winking at me or bidding?" 😂😂 What a shirt on that guy
Great to see content from you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻keep it coming
Drop a sleeper on that bad boy, and I will buy it!
Great job young men, our country needs more like you!
Great job putting the new motor together and in guys

Great job Coop! Fantastic seeing young guys getting dirty and getting it done!
Coop , I hope you and your buddies can find a way to stay as close as y'all are for many years to come.
Garrett is the knowledge base here. AND the real project manager. 😀
Ok, I'm damn impressed with how quickly you young'ns got that motor pulled.
Watching you fellas work on the truck reminded me of watching my dad work on cars when I was young. Somebody always brought their car for "Creeper " (dad's nickname) to fix their car. I enjoyed watching the video immensely. Terrific job on the rig, looks good.
Great video and job Cooper. Thank you for showing it to us. Enjoyed it very much
Nice work. Great to see your video Cooper. Keep the good work. Looking forward to the next one!!!

You guys are awesome! It is great to have buddies that work together like that.
I did my fair share of bringing old vehicles back to life like that. I was a good time.
Peterbuilt's are my favorite! I love that you painted the engine purple 💜
You have nice friends. Good how you're all willing to help each other out. Friends forever!
This is by far one of the best CZcams channels.
WOW, that's a beautiful sound, could listen to it all day.Good team work fellas.
Loved this.
Brought memories of my dad who was a helluva mechanic. Great job young men! Good to see y'all got these kinda skills!
Such a talented group. You gentlemen will never be out of work.
It's not bad if you're missing a couple of bolts and have to buy new ones. It is bad if you get everything back together and you've got extra parts. 😏
Unless... the missing bolts are rattling inside the engine 😎
No it is not a problem... It just means... They made a racing engine! [Because it's much lighter, Eh?] (That what we told everyone back in Jr High, when they asked... "What are all these extra parts?")

Runs like a dream and looks beautiful!
Great job pulling the motor guys
