DP is blessed to have the knowledge to do most of his own work. I suspect his dad is watching over and guiding him daily. Cheers DP!
that knowledge saves him a gigantic amount of money. I wonder how much it would cost to have someone do it? $5k... $10k?
And Bill is amazing also!
Great job helping Mr Dirt Perfect Bill
As the saying goes, "Work with what you know." The Mack is the truck you know. Thank goodness you had someone there to help you.
That makes perfect sense on the reason to run Mack’s! It makes your life so much easier when you know how to wrench on it. Saves a bunch of time and money on gettin her back on the road.
I'm as mechanical as a hammer. I do enjoy watching people that know what their doing. Just think, if Aaron was there!
Bill is a good helper, he has done this before. 👍
Having a helper with knowledge is always great. Back on the road in no time.
For what it's worth, you made the right call.
Bill likely has forgotten more then most of us know ,really enjoy watching the old guys
x2
That is a job.. It's even more of a job when you bring us along 👍👍✌️
I am sure Bill will be glad to help. We all need a Bill. Great video, and it's obvious you have the knowledge to do the job.
Million miles that’s engine is amazing looking. Thanks for the video ❤
Thank you Mike,😊 for taking us along on this engine repair. I know the job would have been much easier if you didn't have a camera in one hand most of the way...and thank you Bill for the assist 🙂
My thoughts exactly.
I don’t know about everyone else but I had to pause this for a bathroom break when you started draining the anti freeze. 🤣
MBTS picked a perfect time to get called back into work. Nice work DP. The Governor
Always a + when you know the ins n outs of your truck , 👌🤘🤘🤘
Nothing Better than doing it yourself, great show, Oh are you Painting the Bus, LOL
👍👍👍👍👍 DT got his mechanic hat on today bring back his memory to his younger. Mechanical days.
Watching this, took me back to when I was a kid helping my Uncle work on his trucks. He would think out loud at what needed to be done next and I would make sure I did what ever he wanted.
Talking about doing the work and actually doing the work are 2 different things. Thx Mike for proving your skills and being true to yourself!
Morning DP and friends
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect
Gee it's nice Bill helping and not giving you a hard time with all the extra mouth workothers give you I know it's friendly banter but can get on your nerves sometimes as one of my mates does it to me when working togeather
@17:30 the way that head spun out of the engine bay was just gorgeous😍😆🇦🇺
Your "little puppy dog" was sicker than you thought. He needed some major surgery. I'm very impressed with your knowledge on Macks so you could do so much of the work yourself. Labor costs are so high. I never realized how many parts were in an engine!! I hope your truck lasts you for many more years, with no more major problems.
I have to take my hat off to you doing this job and making sure we can see everything that you are doing, it must be a real pain making sure we can see,while you are doing a difficult job, it just shows how much you care about your subscribers.👍👍🇬🇧
Cutting Edge Engineering just had this same problem on his 50 year old Mad Max yard crane. Their channel is more about being a heavy equipment machine shop. But he does all of his own mechanic work. Really great stuff. Thanks for the video
Two young men making a go with their hands and determination 👍
Thank you mìke for taking all the of us on this engine rebuild and taking time to talk us through what happened to it and how you are going to fix it 👍 👍 👍
You are very fortunate to be able to fix the ole dog in many ways looking forward to hear it purring again great watch DP 👍👋🇨🇦
Enjoyed Mack truck show
Great job on the diagnostics and tear down. Nice to see Bill helping you out. Good video. Thank you DP. 👍
Tell you what, Bill comes in sparkling clean and goes out sparkling clean, old school at work. Great job guys, bet bill wasn’t to much I hope 😉👍🇺🇸
Everyone needs Bill.
'I was looking for something to do today. I can always call on you...' Ha. Nice one Bill.
Good job. Head off, liner out, parts ordered, reassemble. With the wind behind you this can be back on the road in a couple of days.
Once again you show us how you stay in business and keep the fleet running. Nice job Mike. I'm sure it wasn't the fix you wanted to do but having the ability to do it saved your company many dollars again. Thanks for sharing and as someone else already said it would have been easier to do this without the camera but we appreciate you taking us along for the ride!
08:42 Ho Boy Mike! That sound, along with my 1st cup of CovFEFE down, sets the stage for a momentary pause, whil'st I 'utilize the woodline!' 🤣
The camera view look's like the block is in rather good shape for a million miles Mike, good on you for repairing properly. 👌
At least the boss was driving when it happened!cap’n kleeman won’t have this one to live down.
Really nice to see there are people that have skills out there.
Good morning all. Have a great day.
Thanks. ENJOYED!
You do a great job explaining what you are doing. I would never have the need to rebuild an engine but fun to watch.
Good job mike the puppy dog needs some lovins
Bill is absolutely amazing.
Mike , this was impressive . I can't imagine what a Mack dealer would charge for doing this job . I also can't imagine having a truck with a head replaced and back running in two days .
Bill is a good hand for sure.
Yes he is
Great Project Mike, working at the dealership really made the difference. Saved you big dollars in the repair costs. Can't wait until it cranks over again.
What I do follow, Mike, is you’re a honest, hard working and talented guy with great people around you!
Thanks appreciate that
Watching Mike's cell phone announcements ping in every couple seconds in warp speed was hilarious! You are an important man my friend! 😂
Never
Stops
Sometimes you get to a certain point and you have to make a decision, finish your in frame Mike, your at that point young man lol love your videos best wishes to you and yours
I feel your pain, I know exactly what your going through. Time consuming and sometimes frustrating. Damn
Appreciate you taking us along while your rebuilding the puppy dog. Enjoy the videos
You obviously take excellent care of your equipment. We know breakdowns happen and can be expensive and time consuming to fix. You definitely know your trucks and that is a plus. All the little tricks you show on your videos are helpful. Thanks much for sharing.
Thanks
That was a job! Wow!
Is your phone was going off constantly (kept lighting up) during the first Timelapse. The joys of being a business own and a popular guy on top of that. 😮💨🤣🤣🤣
Very cool. I love it that the big diesels can be repaired like that without pulling the engine. Very slick. Thanks for sharing!
You are blessed… you caught it very early..
Bill is a pretty handy helper!!!!
Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching that.
I really enjoyed that buddie, it brought back a lot of memories. 👍👍👍👍
Excellent, excellent training video and more!!! Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings.
I followed all of that, you are in deep for a repair. It's expensive but a dealership would be so much more! I know you know that since you used to work for one. My congrats to you for having us in the loop to see you repair the Mack.
About 160-220 an hour depending on where your at in the nation. Adds up quick
Great explanation of the problem Mike and likewise a good repair plan. Nice to see it all done well! Kudos to you!
Another reason I am here watching your videos. 90 percent of your maintenance and repairs you do yourself. Proud GEAR HEAD here that does his own repairs as often as possible. Great Job DP
Love the video on sick puppy Dog , Mike your a very good mac,
Glad the vet was able to get the puppy dog all the help she needed.
Between you and c&c I feel like a full fledged diesel mechanic. Thanks for the great videos in the shop!
Excellent proof of being particular about what you buy pays off! You have the experience and correct tools for the job and that is priceless. The puppy dog will be back in good shape soon, It's in good hands.
You never cease to amaze me ... a supreme "Operator" AND a qualified "Diesel Fit Her" !!! (anyone that's ever worked in a Diesel Shop will understand the humor). And while I don't wish you any mechanical failures, it is with pleasure we get to watch you use your widely varied skill set ... makes for great content !!! Few on YT match your calm explanations on the "what and why" stuff is. Bravo DP and look forward to part 2. Bon chance from your Texan Aerospace Engineer in the French Riviera.
Thanks
DP a little JB weld goes a long way 😂😂😂😂 Great vid bud !!!!!!
It never fails, just when you think you are getting ahead there is a brake down when you least expect it or have time for it. Keep pushing ahead it happens to the best of us. Back to work in no time.👍
Hey Mike.
Watching you take those heads apart took me back to my teen years when my friends and me worked on our cars. One big difference, we used extra permaseal to take care of those gaps. Lol
It's good fun to watch someone with know how work on engines.
Ed from Chicago 🙂
Really looking forward to the next chapter. Many thanks Mike, doing a brilliant job.🇬🇧
Get Well Soon Ya BULL DOG Puppy!
I know you have the knowledge Mike but Bill was some great help that made your fix allot easier and faster. Always nicer to be able to do the fix yourself plus saving a bunch of dollars! Hope your young viewers learned a bunch from this video👍
The first time you explained why you wanted a Mack Tri-Axel, it made sense to me. After watching you repair this truck, I really got it. So often you show Aaron, Matt, and others working with you but the reality is you are a one man operation, and if you can't fix it, you aren't working. Glad you did get some assistance but the amazing fact remains is that you could've done this on your own. And I applaud you for that. (I hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday, you deserve it.)
Its a workhorse in your fleet from what we see in your videos, perfectly normal for problems to apear from time to time and you are the perfect person to take care of them from what we know about your background you told us. Keep it up, carry on
Right man on the job.
Lovely!! Big diesels seem to be easier to work on than my 6.0 in my pickup. Cab needs to come off for most repairs. Bill is a new character to me. Big help. Wrenching is getting old, dirt work, gets you outside. As my Dad used to say, "Get out and blow the stink off!" Chin up!
Wow! I wouldn't know where to start, on a project like this! I'd mess way more up than was wrong with it to start with! Great to have reliable friends like Bill, who are there for you when you need them. Thanks, Bill & Mike! Lee
Thanks for explaining what is going on sir, nice having Bill as a back up help also. Thank you to him also. Just really enjoy your videos. When I seen the puppy dog sick, thought it did too much celebrating for your birthday. Lol, Happy Belated Birthday sir.
Good job Mike, hope you get all your parts on time brother! Thanks for sharing my friend, Kirk from Louisiana! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
After hearing the noise then looking it over realizing it was a
head and gasket problem that's when DP looked at the camera (like in the movie Airplane) and said what a pisser 😆
I have a lot of respect for people like Bill still getting it done
That's a lot more than I can say for myself
Tanks for loosing or taking the time BUT explaining why and what your doing! It is soo intriguing and interesting to see a true mechanical craftsman working his trade and his expanded knowledge to meet the challenge. Again thank you Sir!
Thanks appreciate that
Good video Mike👍🏻 Can’t wait to see you put it back together and see it hauling equipment again. I like that truck and I’m glad you have no intentions of getting rid of it.
Thanks
Yup you and MBTS jinxed it...
🎉Happy Birthday DP
I love mechanic work, don't ask why. Guess I find it fascinating and rewarding once it's done, worked with my uncle on my 66 Mustang replaced the lifters and other parts. Showed me how to time an engine and replace gaskets, I was 17 years old and started doing work on my family and friends cars. Funny I was 8 months pregnant and replaced a blown radiator hose on my sister's car, on the should of the freeway. Watching you guys work on this big boy was fun, I hung on every word. Looking forward to the next steps.
I love those Mack trucks!! I drove a CH613 with an 18 speed. Thanks for sharing DP!!
Days like this are why the people that complain about the cost of parts and labor should remain silent and appreciate someone with the knowledge and skills to complete such repairs.
Thanks for sharing
Great work mike
25 yr old me would have thrown a Head Gasket on it.......55 yr old me knows you're doing 💯% the right thing
lol
You’re an amazing mechanic and you’re skills shine through. It will be good for another million miles.
Sorry you had too do the work been there you will feel better for having done it
Happy BIRTHDAY D P 21 again I just turned 21 again after 66 years great video as usual , I know where you are coming from ,My Wife and I own a small excavator buisiness with a little tipper and love every minute of it and we get to meet a lot of good people that we do jobs for but as usual there is always something to fix , I try and do most of the work myself like yourself and it saves us quite a bit of money . It is so impressive to watch your videos and the things you do and the great crew that work with you , you all seem to get along and work really well together so get that puppy cranked up again and you cant beat the sound when that puppy barks with the jake on . So all the best from a wanna be 21 again oldish bloke from Nth Qld Australia LOVE THE SHOW
Sure was nice to have Bill there to help get the heads off. You did one hell of a job working from the bottom up to get the piston and liner out. That's one major under-taking. Good work and I wouldn't have a clue about tearing the engine down to do all that work. You have a heen knack for getting issues resolved. I hope there's nothing more to get the Mack running good and steady. Enjoyed the entire video, as always. Bid thumbs-up for a job well done. 👍🏽🤠 5/2/23
I agree DP, that's been a good truck for you. You get it fixed, and keep running it. I don't care what people say, Mack is a good truck, up here in Maine, you couldn't swing a cat, without hitting one. Your sticking with what you know, and it's working for you
It's a bummer, but I believe in fix it once right not twice wrong.
I feel so bad as what is a headache to you is interesting to learn and watch you repair it
Your engine shows how well you take care of your equipment..... very nice looking.
Thanks
👍 Good job with the tear down. 👍
Wow this brings back memories of working on these. They sure are different than modern Mack engines.
