  • 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. 😎

    Hey Cooper, my two older brothers only drove Peterbuilts glad to see you back on your channel 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    • @mwsales6644
      @mwsales6644 Před 2 lety +1

      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?

  • @leonarddaniels6221
    @leonarddaniels6221 Před 2 lety +34

    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

    • @davidsignor7931
      @davidsignor7931 Před 2 lety +2

      Another suggestion grind a slot after beveling then you can take them out with a screwdriver

  • @kenjd57
    @kenjd57 Před 2 lety

    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

      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?")

    @Southern-author Před 2 lety

    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.
