Dan its all good sir, you're a class act on you tube one few good RUclipsrs and a super trucker, driving a truck and being a celebrity all in one man, you're great.
Dan, quick note, some viewers, older as myself, are not inclined to opt in @ every social media platform. For myself, e-mail, you tube and Instagram, are the limit. The shenanigans w/ face book & twitter, not worth the aggravation. Just FYI.
You take good care of your machine and it shows. Gonna miss the squeaky hood. I've started affectionately thinking of your truck as"The Squeak-O-Potomus". All in good fun and thank you for the great videos!
G'day, Dan! Bravo! Nice job - changing fuel filters on your Paccar, and doing a oil change for the little generator, too! By the way, your voice over - worked out fine! Plus! I am greatly enjoying the wonderful daily videos! Thank you! "Keep on Truckin'!!" Cheers! 😊🛠✌🏼🚛❤️
Those gloves look exactly like the gloves my dad has always used when he's working on his car! He's been a diesel mechanic for over 30 years, now he's a manager at a PACCAR testing facility.
Hello Dan,II had a 379 and I used wheel bearing grease on the hood stops up on the fire wall and a million miles the bump stops were still like new.Great following your travels thanks for the memories Retired from Mercer 15yrs ago truck #5317
I'm a road service guy & most truckers I talk to have no idea how to read a Davco filter. The higher the fuel level is in the sight bowl the more blocked the filter is. If it's up at the top, you're headed to a fuel starve breakdown.
I enjoy your videos. I like to see what you're hauling. I plan on coming over to Mercer but was told Friday by the orientation guy orientation is canceled for 2 weeks or more do to the virus going around. I guess I wait a little longer, but eventually I'll make it there.
Appreciate increased posting frequency. The Paccar fuel filters have a troubled history. One rush truck center dealer in Oklahoma, will not sell them, even though he acknowledges the redesign efforts. BTW, video volume was fine.
that's why your hood is squeaking, your can looked like spray lithium? is a petroleum base product, softens the rubber causes it to turn sticky. making a squeaky squeaks. need silicone base.
Great video dan!! They do offer a updated version for the cap on the fuel filter that you don’t have the Wrench anymore except for the bottom of the fuel filter.
Hey dan was in dexter early fri Morning. Was going to have a shower. Thought about virus decided not. Was home late fri nite. Going to stay home for couple weeks. Take care be safe. Lot more cases of virus bye Sunday nite
I bet you got those gloves at Walmart, LOL... I like Lukas oil additive myself for both my custom Jeep and car. I also add Marvel Mystery oil to the fuel tank of my any thing I have that runs on gas. The amount depends on how much fuel the tank holds. For example I use a entire cup in the Jeep it holds 21 gallons of fuel, and I use 1/4 cup in the car it holds about 11 gallons and I use 1/8 in the lawn tractor. It helps keep the fuel pump in good condition, keeps the injectors in the car and Jeep clean, and jets clean and general good carburetor health via the small engines like my law tractor, generator, even the two strokes like the weed eater and chain saw. Stay safe, and wishing you good trucking... Thumbs up on the video....
Hey Dan, pick up a roll of Grey Teflon tape from Home Depot (its thicker then the white tape) and wrap a bunch tightly around that rubber pad for the hood. See how long the squeak stays gone.
Don’t want to use trAns Fluid! Red dye could go back to your tank they will think you have Untaxed fuel! Big Fine!!! What are you averaging for mileage now Dan?
Excellent stuff Dan! You might want to give Fluid Film a shot to get rid of the hood squeaks might even help with the clutch. It’s good stuff. Be safe.
Hi trucker Dan, this is Randy from San Tan Valley Arizona. We're neighbors. I can't remember where it is exactly you live in Arizona but I think it was Tucson if I remember correctly. I really enjoy your videos and I watch the new video every time it comes out. I was curious where did you get your training in truck maintenance? It seems necessary if you own your own truck. Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
Your first time " lip syncing ". Better than those whom claim to be professional singers ! LoL Be careful spilling diesel on the black top, it will degrade and create potholes, then eventually truck stops will not allow you to service the truck anymore.
I didn’t get a good luck at how the hood sits on that rubber block (maybe it’s a dumb idea) what if you put a piece of el-cheapo low pile carpet on that rubber block? Use some zip ties or baling wire to hold it in place. Maybe it’ll cut down on the rubber-on-rubber squeak. I sure like your videos. Thanks for all of the frequent updates! Stay healthy and be safe!
To me, it looks like the air compressor discharge line, the copper and blue line? Looks like the copper line has a little twist in it? And I have heard, haven't tried it. But old socks on the hood rest block might help with the squeaks. Just wondering, have you tried Lucas fuel treatment? They also have a power steering treatment, too. Well, be careful and stay safe.
Sir Dan !!! Have you tried to adjust the rubber bumper brackets for the hood to pick it up just enough so that it doesn't ride as tight on the rubber gasket around the top of the hood next to the crowling ?? Saw the hood bracket when you had the hood up !!! DON"T know if it will cure all the squeaking ,,but less is all better on the hearing !! Great video even if the audio got messed up !!! Have a GOOD WEEK ahead !!! That'll be the last 7 days of the ''PRESIDENT' S "" count down on the ''PANDEMIC"" & HOPE that it subsides !!!! ""KEEP IT SAFE """!!!
Put a pair of heavy tube socks from Walmart on them. I promise it will stop squeaking. I have 2014 and a2019 heavy haul and I have stopped both. I run a lot of off road
The best way to fix that noise on those rubber things that your hood rest on is to take a pair of socks put them over top of those rubber things and that should take care of that noise for you
Thanks, Dan, hope the trip to Florida works out. Here in the Philippines we now have a one person at a time Quaranteen Pass required to leave your home ... kinda like the old days of hall passes in high school. I saw the main north-south expressway yesterday and it seems trucks are completely free to travel, there's virtually no other traffic ... busses are banned and if I take my car out, where would I go? All shopping is shut down, no sit-down restaurants, likewise hotels and any tourist attractions, casinos, etc. Keep on trucking my friend.
How is the mx13 treating you? Is it an auto or a stick? Thinking of buying one just not sure. What rears do you have? I found a 485hp 13spd 3.42 rears 2015
Hey there. I’m buying a Peterbilt 389 and picking it up next week. It noticed that my def tank is on the right like yours and I’m worried that might pose an issue at the pumps. How do you deal with it? Any tips or tricks?
I kind of run the same areas all the time. I had a 30 gal def tank I only needed to fill it up once a week. I usually did it on the weekends when the truck stops are not so busy. Learn where there are fuel stops with plenty of room to go through the fuel island the wrong way. Petro and TA where the easiest Thanks for watching
Hey Dan, what's up with that orange hose in front of your fuel filter? Looks like it's twisted and deformed by the coupler that goes into the blue hose.
Thanks for the video, Dan. Wonder how much money in a year that you save by doing your own oil filters instead of having the truck stop shop do them for you? Have a safe, productive week. God bless you. Pastor Dean, Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL.
I read that you chance filters every 15000 miles why is the oil and gasoline so bad over there at our trucks live in Holland Europe get changed every 60000 miles average one’s a year please let me know dan keep up the good things you do an stay healthy gr a Dutch trucker
Great video, Is that red hose in front of the first filter you replaced getting a little thin? The one I’m talking about is the one that ties into the blue hose. Voiceover was fine Thanks for the videos
Thanks but I never saw the process of removing the filter or how to empty and add diesel😢, I’m trying to do it my self, I thought I found finally a video of how to diy, boomer 😅
Hi Dan; Just a small request; we're stuck here in commiefornia with this shelter in place and are getting bored to death. If you could film more of your travels, like going down the highway, maybe watch you loading/unloading, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob and Kathy in San Jacinto, CA
I gotta 579 with the pacar in it it's been through 4 sets of filters in 4 months my frieghtliners never did that the one in the clear dome on my freightliner stayed half full from PM to pm any reason why this 579 is going through them ?
No. Filters are not really emissions related. But if they get plugged up enough, your engine will generate more soot and cause you to need more regens.

Be safe brother
Hey Dan, pick up a roll of Grey Teflon tape from Home Depot (its thicker then the white tape) and wrap a bunch tightly around that rubber pad for the hood. See how long the squeak stays gone.
Dan, next time try some silicone spray for your squeeky hood rubbers, works pretty good and lasts quite a while. Love the videos. Stay safe.
Dan, you can also prime the fuel filter with automatic transmission fluid. I used to use the cheep P.S.F. from the dollar store.....
Don’t want to use trAns Fluid! Red dye could go back to your tank they will think you have Untaxed fuel! Big Fine!!! What are you averaging for mileage now Dan?
Nice job on the narration portion. Thanks
Nice job. I will say are 95 international starts better after filters changed. Now all u have to do is cut them hood mirrors off. Haaha
Excellent stuff Dan! You might want to give Fluid Film a shot to get rid of the hood squeaks might even help with the clutch. It’s good stuff. Be safe.
I’ll check it out

Be careful spilling diesel on the black top, it will degrade and create potholes, then eventually truck stops will not allow you to service the truck anymore.
Great big truck and no room for a decent catch can for all that diesel spilled onto the blacktop.

I know you weren’t a huge fan of this engine, but was it fairly reliable. I’m looking at buying a 2012 epa 10 max-13 386
Cannot remember if you have ever used "vasoline" on those mounts Dan? Just thinking or a little 5th wheel grease maybe.....Happy Trails

A very nice how it is done video thnx
How do you like the paccar motor? I was thinking of getting a t880 or a 389 with one of these in it!!
Couple of socks will quiet the hood down. Put them over the rubber blocks.
Hey Dan, whens the last time you changed the power steering filter and fluid? There's a filter in the reservoir tank (or should be anyway)...
Use a sox over the rubber hood mounts they will stop squeaking
Hi Super Trucker Dan. Is that a Pacar motor in your truck? What's the spec

Hey Dan can you do a video on things that can hurt your CDL like the 15 over ticket or other road infractions.

drain all fuel oit of pre filter. taking top off keeps air out u left a lot of dirt in bottom of bowl
Put socks on the hood brackets to stop the noise

Do you ever get a emission code after changing the fuel filters?
No. Filters are not really emissions related. But if they get plugged up enough, your engine will generate more soot and cause you to need more regens.
What is the number on the tool u use to remove the water separated filter is should say 61..
Make sure to move your spare key🤣
Spray your tub out with brake clean so less mess
what is the oil/filter change frequency?
