That dash sure brings back a lot of memories of my Dads 96 I grew up in. Only difference was a Canadian Class badge instead of American. Lol. Great video Gerald.
Yes sir it is. No good places to eat hardly anymore fuel costs insurance cost damn parts are rediculous but damn it we love trucks. And I do like your flat top. And the 359. Hope ya keep um both.
Love the look of the flat top stacks with heat shields, thats a look you really don't see anymore. Best of luck on the Green machine, shes got good bones for sure. a 359 and a old style dash 379, Thats a great combination.
@@thedirtytrucker9633 it’s a quiet little area. I live about 5 miles south of that port in port allen now. I checked out your boys song and sent it to a few of my friends. I like it. I hope he has some more on the way.
If you’re going to change the dryer you can shoot air through your ac manifold shut the knobs down and spray your system down with soapy water. Make it a lot easier to find leak.
Sir I know how you feel some of the truck drivers today just don't care and they have no respect for the rules or the drivers, some of then are idiots, like you said it's all about common sense, love both you peterbuilts, love your videos be careful and safe out there, Mike from Mississippi.
I’m going to take it off and fill it with water and pressurize it so I can find the leak. I don’t trust my aluminum welding enough to weld it up so I’ll take it to the machine shop here. Unless I can find a a 150 gal tank to replace it
Biggest problem I've had with the a/c on them is orings. Mine was blowing ice cold, went home for the weekend and Monday morning nothing. Oring on the high side of the compressor was leaking. On our other truck had one leaking on the dryer just out of nowhere.
Man those things will make you or break you. I soak mine in refrigerant oil before I put them on and wear rubber gloves. I try the best I can to make sure the o-rings are straight and not twisted on the fitting
My 96 will give you pneumonia it gets so cold. I can't run the back on high in the summer when I'm trying to sleep because it gets so cold. I'd check all the connections on yours and look for oil seepage from them and the condenser.
Yeah I’m going to redo the whole thing in the spring. Most of the time I ran the sleeper and that will run the cab on low. And it was all I could take!
You said part of it is common sense. Well common sense is not common anymore. They don’t teach that in school these days and everyone thinks they are entitled .
That’s insane man. My freaking blinker deal did the same thing last week. I still had blinkers but my high beams were on for a week till I got a new switch. 98 Pete things I guess
See one day and thing at a time w it. I was wondering what yr it was I have a 98 it’s a stand up bunk though. I was pulling for schwend out of Fla I live in Ohio. Trans started knocking at ringgold ga. Needless to say I limped it home all way to Cincinnati and she’s been sitting. I’m bout to get it fixed though it needs to be. But anyway 98 is a good one. And you got a good one. Sure enjoy your videos Keep um coming and I miss pulling hopper but I work local now drive someone else stuff. Be safe out there get on home to the family and enjoy them.
Good luck to you getting it back going! I think 97-2000 were the best years. Best hvac, best dash, and best engines. I could go on and on why they are the best but those are big ones to me. And anti lock
Heck yeah the exact same thing happened to me on the turn signal wiring...got wrapped up in the steering u joint i just got a new one for mine..used plenty of zip ties to keep it away from the u joint..
Next time you are in New Paris,Ohio stop over at Custom truck and electronics it’s just past the Petro on the right off 40 good people and they have a lot of things most chrome shops don’t have especially for your 359.
They are great! I usually stop if I get there before they close. I bought a winter front for my 359 back in the winter. It was a old Belmont winter front and the box had and inch of dust on it. One of the coolest things I’ve ever bought
And one more thing you got it right w the stupidity out here anymore especially those Canadians and the others. Lol you got me laughin on that. Have a good weekend be safe
Yes it is my back up and eventually I’m going to do some updating on it. The plan is to be back in it in the spring when all the junk is off the roads up north
Does that grain hauling pay pretty good. I pull flatbed steel out of Chicago to Carolina’s average around 3,25 a mile. I’ve always wondered how that stuff paid.
No it really don’t pay that great. Everything is usually by the ton or by the bushel. Every once in a while a flat rate. Got to load the wagon every load.
How's it going DT? You may have said and I missed it, what were you hauling here and how far of a trip was that? By the way, stumbled across here and subscribed now!
I’m hauling rice bran in this video. One load goes 350 miles and the second goes 1200 miles. I loaded some pork meal and it goes 700 miles back home. That’s the load where I’m getting loaded with a front end loader
Dude I know. I started to put more Freon in it. The best this thing ever cooled was 27/150. It would absolutely hurt you it got so cold. When I fill one I get it to where the compressor kicks on by itself and look at the thermometer in the vent to see where is going to cool best. I’m just going to redo the whole thing in the spring so I know exactly what I got
Yes. I pulled the original 1LW out to do an out of frame in it and put the 5EK that it now. I ended up selling it after this 5EK broke the crank and I stole the crank out of the 1LW to put in this 5EK so I could put a new crank in the 1LW when I did the out of frame. 6 years later here I am about to follow through😂
Kinda. I’m just not filling that passenger tank up all the way. Keeping it shut off until I get ready to use it. Kinda redneck but I’ll get it off and fix it or put a new one on soon
Man when I started looking at this truck I was wanting to buy it for a spare. My wife told me I didn’t need to have a spare truck. 6 years later I guess I showed her!😂😂 I want to have it for a back up and run it in the spring and fall
No I’m pretty old school in the pipe selection. I want these old style muffler guards with tall 5” tips or 6” miters that are 13’3 with standard elbows
I've crossed that bridge a many of days in Baton Rouge 👍🏾
Man if you are headed east you better be over that bridge before 3pm!
Good stuff man. It is a blessing knowing how to fix stuff on your truck. Keep the faith.
Thanks buddy. I appreciate it!
That dash sure brings back a lot of memories of my Dads 96 I grew up in. Only difference was a Canadian Class badge instead of American. Lol. Great video Gerald.
Thank you Andrew! Yes these dashes are the best!
Yes sir it is. No good places to eat hardly anymore fuel costs insurance cost damn parts are rediculous but damn it we love trucks. And I do like your flat top. And the 359. Hope ya keep um both.
Thanks Michael! I love them both tok and feel blessed to have both of them
You’re welcome sir. It’s definitely a blessing and a blessing to make it home the way it is out here enjoy the family. Keep um comin the videos.
Thanks! It’s always a blessing to make it home in one piece!
Ima keep an eye out for ur truck. Didn’t know u were in my state. I’m between Stuttgart an Marianna. Keep doing your thing
Yeah man. I’m I. Stuttgart almost every Monday and I usually get off at the 265 and come south to get back home
Love the look of the flat top stacks with heat shields, thats a look you really don't see anymore.
Best of luck on the Green machine, shes got good bones for sure.
a 359 and a old style dash 379, Thats a great combination.
Thanks! I love straight but I love old muffler gaurds too. Who knows what I’ll do next.😂
Like your signs, you put your bolts in your boot in the sleeper
Thanks! Those are the best signs I’ve ever has
Gerald. The guy in the gold Cascadia, is making his own misery.👍👍👍
💀💀💀💀 yeah he is Raymond!!!!😂😂😂
Stuff like this is why I think 99% is the best name for a truck I’ve heard 😂
That’s hilarious 😂😂
Awesome video Gerald👍👍👍 hang in there you will get it there just takes time and money
Thanks Raymond! I’m to the point where I’m patient now and know that this is a process. I’m just being impatient
@@thedirtytrucker9633 that’s easy to do brother. Have a great weekend.
You’re riding through my stomping grounds at 22:30. New roads LA.
Yeah man. I pass through there alot
@@thedirtytrucker9633 it’s a quiet little area. I live about 5 miles south of that port in port allen now. I checked out your boys song and sent it to a few of my friends. I like it. I hope he has some more on the way.
Thank you for giving him a listen! I love some south Louisiana…especially the food!
Yes d t your getting her in shape. Take care will be watching
Thanks! I’m going to just take it week by week and get it better than when I sold it.
If you’re going to change the dryer you can shoot air through your ac manifold shut the knobs down and spray your system down with soapy water. Make it a lot easier to find leak.
That’s a pretty cool trick. I may have to try that
Never knew you were from Arkansas , thought ive seen your 359 around jonesboro area i have a green 9300 eagle with a black tempte
I’ll be on the look out. I’m not in Jonesboro much but on 67 and 55 a good bit
Glad to see a new video from you
Thanks. I’m trying to get to two a week!
Sir I know how you feel some of the truck drivers today just don't care and they have no respect for the rules or the drivers, some of then are idiots, like you said it's all about common sense, love both you peterbuilts, love your videos be careful and safe out there, Mike from Mississippi.
Thanks Mike! You are so right about most of these guys!
Maybe you can JB weld the hole in the one tank for a temporary fix I did it once to a fuel tank it lasted a few years no issues.
I’m going to take it off and fill it with water and pressurize it so I can find the leak. I don’t trust my aluminum welding enough to weld it up so I’ll take it to the machine shop here. Unless I can find a a 150 gal tank to replace it

Nobody thinks any more. People’s mentality is just “F” the whole world I’m entitled.
It sounds good
Thanks! Despite the blow by it runs pretty dang good
Yes sir I agree the 1lw will be good back in there to do what ya was talkn bout. 👍
Oh yeah! The water manifold is the biggest reason to put it back in there
That’s insane man. My freaking blinker deal did the same thing last week. I still had blinkers but my high beams were on for a week till I got a new switch. 98 Pete things I guess
Yeah I just so. I should have tied it up when I put that brake switch in.

Man that’s a first. I’ve had one of these truck since 1998 and never had that happen
@@thedirtytrucker9633 I even had the problem with the air pressure sensor...but my buzzer wouldn't shut off.
Yea sir I had to unplug my buzzer the other day until I could get another switch in there

It's a blessing to know how to fix things. I don't know how guys get by not knowing how to do anything. Great stuff man. Really enjoy the videos
Thanks! I don’t know how guys do it either man!
And one more thing you got it right w the stupidity out here anymore especially those Canadians and the others. Lol you got me laughin on that. Have a good weekend be safe
Man the trucks that have Canadian tags don’t seem to have Canadian drivers 😂😂😂
🎉🎉🎉
man i hate indy 😂. i run 70 out of indy to Columbus every week and holy shit is that road rough.
Yes it is. Run it most weeks myself!
Whats up with your 359, youre preserving it? Like that truck much much better!
Yes it is my back up and eventually I’m going to do some updating on it. The plan is to be back in it in the spring when all the junk is off the roads up north
@@thedirtytrucker9633 Drove an 86, look just like it, day cab, 400 Cat 13 speed on air ride
Does that grain hauling pay pretty good. I pull flatbed steel out of Chicago to Carolina’s average around 3,25 a mile. I’ve always wondered how that stuff paid.
No it really don’t pay that great. Everything is usually by the ton or by the bushel. Every once in a while a flat rate. Got to load the wagon every load.
Nice rig. Whats the wheelbase?
270

@@thedirtytrucker9633 Appreciate the reply and the info! It's all just interesting to me. Keep up the hard work! It'll pay off!
Will do man!!!
It needs more Freon those pressure are to low it should be 40 on the low side and below 250 on the high side brother than it should be cold
Dude I know. I started to put more Freon in it. The best this thing ever cooled was 27/150. It would absolutely hurt you it got so cold.

Hey mate, do you still have your conestoga, or did you sell it?? I can’t remember 😂We call them “prairie wagons “down here.
Yeah man. I wanted to keep it but didn’t want it to just sit outside and ruin. I can buy another if I need to so I let it go
When you mention the motor you had in it did pull it out b4 you sold this truck or what’s story with that?
Yes. I pulled the original 1LW out to do an out of frame in it and put the 5EK that it now. I ended up selling it after this 5EK broke the crank and I stole the crank out of the 1LW to put in this 5EK so I could put a new crank in the 1LW when I did the out of frame. 6 years later here I am about to follow through😂
I know it’s crazy
Man everything is crazy out here!
Hi Dirty Trucker
What’s up man?
Did you get your fuel leak fixed
Kinda. I’m just not filling that passenger tank up all the way. Keeping it shut off until I get ready to use it. Kinda redneck but I’ll get it off and fix it or put a new one on soon
What you plan on doing with the 359?
Man when I started looking at this truck I was wanting to buy it for a spare. My wife told me I didn’t need to have a spare truck. 6 years later I guess I showed her!😂😂 I want to have it for a back up and run it in the spring and fall
@@thedirtytrucker9633I have my old FLC AS a backup. Good to have 1.
Man hell yeah! I love a FLC!
@@thedirtytrucker9633yep with a big cam Cummins
Love them big cams!
Signs look great. Reel nice.
Thanks! I was going to put them on today but I put the bolts in a place I would not to forget them…..well guess what???😂😂😂😂
Will be looking for them on truck. Guessing they will look great. Take care.
I hope they look good. I still haven’t put them on😑😂
Quick question you think bout putting big 8inch stacks
No I’m pretty old school in the pipe selection. I want these old style muffler guards with tall 5” tips or 6” miters that are 13’3 with standard elbows
