Come on people start subscribing this guy is putting out more quality step by step instructions videos than anyone else and this rig is just straight badass!!
This guy is like a few other channels on YT where actual work is done so he doesn't get ALL the truck loving population just the ones that either work on them or want to learn how. The channels with big sub counts do goofy kid shit and are basically like bob the builder channels. They have other people do the real work and then do cosmetic stuff themselves and the truck never sees real commercial use. Ezra is not one of those, coming from someone that does this too, he's the real deal. Honestly I have no idea why anybody would start a YT channel nowadays with all the BS, especially when fools like whistling weezul and Broooce Wilson are considered "truck" channels. But Ezra deserves a few hundred thousand so at least it'll pay for his time filming.
Foul language is a vital part of any transmission or clutch install. And if you are doing both it can really get colorful. You even have the tendency to create new and unheard of before ones...
Retired mechanic here Ezra. Anytime I forget how good it is to be retired I'm going to re-watch this video. You sir, are a superstar in my book ! P.S.- love the clutch jack, great idea !
Love the videos!!! Great trick to removing/installing the clutch assembly!!! Glad to hear I'm not the only one to use the 'persuasive ' word approach when things don't go right!!!🤣
I am not a person who ever comments on anyone's safety practices but I have done this under my truck and I was thinking same as you... no safety glasses!
My boss asked me if I could handle an 18 speed. I said sure. 13, 15, 15 over. All the same I thought. He had bought a brand new 379 Pete. 1989. It was his personal truck, but he only drove it from the dealership. I took a load of coffee beans to Nashville, didn't sleep a wink, all night. Nervous about the truck. 18 speed is a simple, wonderful transmission. My favorite. Enjoyed the video! Great job !
You don't need a retirement fund, truck drivers don't retire (how can you work if your retired). Ol'red is gonna be one sweet machine, your lucky to have her. Keep the shiney side up and the dirty side down driver.
Today I fought trying to hang a wall mount for a TV. Ezra is swapping out the transmission in his Peterbilt with the precision of a robot. You are a machine in your own right!
You need a set of 6-8“ long line up bolts to put your flywheel on and off. Same for the clutch and transmission. Using those line up bolts make it so much easier. Also you can’t get your fingers stuck under the flywheel in the bell housing.
I agree 100% my Uncle taught me that nifty lil Trick many years ago. I keep long Line Up Bolts for about every big Truck Job (Rear Ends, Power Dividers, Trans, etc) in my Toolbox, and treat them like they are the Holy Grail.i never let anyone use them, borrow them, etc. If I even catch anyone looking at them, I am on them like white on rice. Lol Their not the easiest Bolts in the world to find.
@@hankclingingsmith8707 what you just seen took a couple of weeks, just like a hunting video, it's the eleventh day and we think we know the pattern the elk are traveling this morning, yeah it's a big job
Another excellent video, clutch adjustment video you made save my ass, sure would be nice to hang out with you in the garage. Glad you listen to excellent music, some of these trucker videos with the hip-hop music, it's just not natural, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really do appreciate it.
Never used a jack to remove a 14" clutch before but that jack would have come in handy for all the 15" clutches I've done. I started typing this while watching and realized your swapping over to a 15. Our alignment tool was an old input shaft with the main gear spline cut off and a 1/2 bolt welded on to make a removable t-handle. Most of the trucks we worked on were used in off road heavy construction, lots of dump and cement, 24" rubber tires, and I'm not talking about the 24.5 they have today I'm talking old school, huge Hendrix and Mack camel back susp. double and triple frame rails. And we didn't have a mag drill so if you were adding a tool box to the side you were leaning into a drill for awhile. Great music! Good luck!
I love watching you keep your rigs restored and in good shape. I'm an old ND native living in Northern Montana now. Please wear some goggles under things. I had a hole cup of rust fall into my eyes and a nasty trip to the eye doc. Keep them coming. Oh .. and I always screw my nuts back on so I don't lose them. 🤪
Bro. I gotta tell you, you are one of the most knowledgeable techs I have seen and you seem to be young for such vast skills, you must have grown up in garage
I always look forward to Saturday mornings working on Old Red. Nice video! You had to play Casey Jones, as I’m getting ready to go to work and run a train.
What a great installation you preformed by your self. I have learned so much just by watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your passion on the rebuild of the 359.
Great step by step explanation and trials tribulations of North Dakota logistics in winter . Home stretch now , get a good seat cover for your 4 legged copilot almost.
Good lord man we know you can fix anything mechanical by now but putting that trans back in by yourself at least one time phone a friend brother that kind of weight and lining things up no wonder you turned the camera off 🤣 excellent work as usual everyone should share the heck out of this we need to get you more subs definitely one of my favorite channels on RUclips!
Another great informational video from one of the best. You really are the man bud! Great stuff here as always. Thank your for keeping up your real content. Keep truckin! Really doesn’t get to much better than this
Awesome transformation of “Old Red “ !!! The pride and passion you put into the truck is a pleasure to watch!!!! Keep doing what you do and we will see you on the next one 😎✌️
Only did it once - pulled my input shaft out before knocking out the wooden blocks holding the throw-out bearing in released position. Anyone who's done it knows what I'm talking about. Nice upgrade from a deep dish 14 clutch to a 15.5 - didn't see any vibration spacers when you pulled the original clutch. Plus for those who don't know, when you cut a deep dish flywheel not only do you cut the inside surface you cut the flange also. Great video - thanks bringing us along!
I own a few trucks and can really appreciate the amount of difficult work you get done by yourself !!! Great learning videos !! Thanks and keep them coming !
Awesome video ez, stay safe working on your trucks, thats some heavy sheit you gotta wrangle on those things. That is an absolute boss of a truck with how you have built it up so far. Take care
What a good job mate. You’re a first class mechanic fella. Really good to watch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Regards from south London England 🏴
I’ve been around trucks for 51 years! I’ve owned two KW’s and one Pete. Your videos are the best I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to find out about your engine rebuild
Exellent work again, another quality video of yours. Eaton twin spilt, proper gearbox, non of the rubbish in todays trucks. I drive a volvo automatic 😬 over here. Looking forward to the next one feller 👍
Another great quality video from Ezrider359!!!! Man, I own one truck and I wish I had the talent to do my own heavy duty work like you. You're a BEAST in the shop... Keep up the good work. From Gill Trucking Inc. Raleigh NC.
Beautiful job on this. I'm in the middle of swapping a Spicer 5 speed out for an 8LL behind my little DT466 in a dump truck and found your channel. Great find and you have a new subscriber!
Once again................. very very entertaining an knowledgable ... Like taking classes every weekend.... Excellent job..... Wish i had a garage like yourself... have to wait till spring/summer to get started on my 97 Int'l eagle.... accumulating parts though .... had to make sure i obtained insurance first ... some are saying my truck was too old... didnt want to waste money right .... Bsafe
Отличный парень! Простой без понтов на камеру и тд. Всё бы такие были водители! Удачи в дороге! Береги руки и подстилай под себя когда под машиной лежишь! Здоровье важнее!
It's nice to work on something you don't have to raise off the ground....I always hated doing car transmissions. But man, you make that look easy muscling those half ton parts around! Excellent tutorial. 👍
I like the clutch jack! 🙂👍 Thats a great idea! Boy is that reman transmission beautiful 😍 not a speck of dirt or grime. Hopefully it will last you for years without any major problems 🔧
Ezra. Great video. I get worried sometimes when you are working alone with such heavy items. Loved the music. Can't wait to see the next video. Stay Safe. Be careful installing or repair work on your trucks.
Great Video, i am amazed that you carried this out on your own, well done. It is also a pleasure to see someone using a torque wrench, rather than others who say "torqued to factory spec" with an impact gun in their hand!
Wow you sure make things look easy I've rolled around beat bang a lot of bad words then go for a walk take a break then come back and seems to go better I like your clutch Jack set up never would have thought of that but no now if I ever need to do this again but I usually was on dirt doing this so put plywood down to roll Jack on but you stay safe , stay healthy , stay rolling
The music Green Onions. Its one of my favorites. Keep up the awesome videos and be SAFE out there Brother. GOD BLESS 🇺🇸 Hood's Towing Service LLC. Nashville, Tennessee
when i am putting u-joints in, i hang the driveshaft from the frame with a small ratchet strap. that is how i like to do a repair...if i touch it and it wont last a good few years i replace it. much cheaper to do it while your in there than taking it all apart again or along side the road with a service truck. very enjoyable video ezra.
Something like this it's a lot better to just spend the money up front on parts while you're already doing the labor. Iv got a funny story about doing u u joint on the road I should tell in a video one of these days.

Is there anything this guy cant do ? He’s a wealth of knowledge !
Right?
@@waltersway3889 😂
I bet he couldn't figure out what is wrong with my weed whacker.
Looks like he pulled all his hair out doing this stuff, it's a lot of work, it's not a big deal, just a lot of work, bigger the truck bigger the tools
Ezrider call her Ruby.

So true!!
Facts
Just what the Doctor ordered Old Red on a Saturday afternoon😊😊 Mind the Wifes Airhorn
Great job always amazed by your knowledge! Really enjoy your father's music too.
Glad you enjoy it!
Retired mechanic here Ezra. Anytime I forget how good it is to be retired I'm going to re-watch this video. You sir, are a superstar in my book ! P.S.- love the clutch jack, great idea !
You make it look easy ... my hats off to you sir
It's not a job that's hard in the sense of being complicated but everything is so big and heavy makes it a tough job.
@@Ezrider359 haha yeah but I probably won’t tackle it until I have a shop as I’m betting it would be even tougher on gravel 😂
Love the videos!!! Great trick to removing/installing the clutch assembly!!! Glad to hear I'm not the only one to use the 'persuasive ' word approach when things don't go right!!!🤣
I thought I was going to learn a new language lol
Separates the men from the boys. This man came from awesome roots and i can tell trucking and hard works in his blood!
I like this video’s. And that you doing this all alone! Chapeau (Dutch watcher)
Great video as always...Thanks...But...no goggles when under the truck?...it was cool till I had to get the piece of metal taken out of my eye...lol.
I am not a person who ever comments on anyone's safety practices but I have done this under my truck and I was thinking same as you... no safety glasses!
That look at the camera @0,33 when the flitch hits the deck cracks me up every time. Great stuff fitting the new ‘box.
very interesting, the flywheel action I got a bit afraid for the fingers, great video. Hello from Sweden
Hello from Louisiana usa
always interesting video wish I could have such a red monster
I’ve been watching you and twin sticks good content
Same here
Me too
And me.
Not me, ole red only.!
@@dirtbike9003 Nah man, trust all of us, if you like Ol Red, youll really enjoy watching Mark with Twin Sticks Garage! Take a chance.
In Italy it's 14.23 pm and we have a cold and rainy weather, nothing better than a coffee and your videos 👍🏻 have a nice weekend

Awesome video as always. Old red's coming along nicely 👍👍
It’s always a pleasure to watch you work, you make everything seem so simple thank you
Wow the fact that he's doing this by himself ...impressive ....

@ad izzle yes
Wow! You are a badass mechanic! Had to watch all the way to the end
Big heavy job there Ezra , looking great , and like you say you don’t want to visit the box for another 10 years , great work my friend .
Good lord man we know you can fix anything mechanical by now but putting that trans back in by yourself at least one time phone a friend brother that kind of weight and lining things up no wonder you turned the camera off 🤣 excellent work as usual everyone should share the heck out of this we need to get you more subs definitely one of my favorite channels on RUclips!
Awesome job with the videos. Most of what I search for you always come up so you must be doing something great out there and keep up the good work
Looking good, Ezra. Don't worry about the choice words. Sometimes petting it, and calling it pretty names ain't enough.
Excellent video - informative, really well shot, and edited to keep things moving. Great job!
Another great informational video from one of the best. You really are the man bud! Great stuff here as always. Thank your for keeping up your real content. Keep truckin! Really doesn’t get to much better than this

Big thumbs up from the UK
Love the clutch jack fitment tool you’ve knocked up, some weight in them clutch packs
You make it look easy! That 18 speed will be such an improvement over the 13, it's nice to be able to split any gear.
Only did it once - pulled my input shaft out before knocking out the wooden blocks holding the throw-out bearing in released position. Anyone who's done it knows what I'm talking about.

Great video Ezra, I really like your videos and Twin Stick Garage👍
Hopefully they can sit down and have a few beers, when the border opens for the rest of us.
That's a real slick tool you made for installing that clutch and removing simple but works great way to go
I m so amazed by your knowledge and your capabilities 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Very good and informative video old red will be a credit to you when finished and on the road keep up the good work
Great job EZ love your videos you make it look almost fun.
Great job you teach me so much your knowledge is far greater than mine
The best darn DIY resto. job on RUclips
Great Video, i am amazed that you carried this out on your own, well done. It is also a pleasure to see someone using a torque wrench, rather than others who say "torqued to factory spec" with an impact gun in their hand!
There's places for both methods but knowing when tq specs are more critical and when there not is important.
Bad ass brother always enjoy your videos...keep up the good work and keep big red chugging on down the road 👍..
I love it and you are doing awesome and thanks for sharing!!! I can't wait until the next video!!!
Wow you sure make things look easy I've rolled around beat bang a lot of bad words then go for a walk take a break then come back and seems to go better I like your clutch Jack set up never would have thought of that but no now if I ever need to do this again but I usually was on dirt doing this so put plywood down to roll Jack on but you stay safe , stay healthy , stay rolling
