It’s 2:27am and I’m sitting in the bathroom watching supertrucker dan lol

Excellent Dan. Great example of doing stuff yourself instead of always using the shop. Your a great ambassador of our industry. 👌👍👍

That's why your a Supertrucker Dan. You can do it all! 👍

Daughters are more important then those of us watching, I admire you doing all the work, saves a lot of money, good job Dan, pull toy herel

Thank you for your Military service I was in the Army in 1970s

Good thinking on aligning everything.

It's amazing to see someone who says "I am NOT paying someone to do that for me. I'll do it myself." You are an inspiration to many, Dan! Roll up them sleeves and get those hands dirty. Safe travels, Sir.

Hi Dan when changing water pumps always try to get them with alloy impellers not like that old one that was leaking which is steel as steel ones when under load Gravitate the water (Like what you get of prop on a speed boat where it whips up the water and air)That way cooling system works better.. We had an issue in UK and probably elsewhere with GM's as many replaced water pump for an after market/pattern one which was steel and engines overheated when pushed blowing Head gaskets and something i learn't about issues was from water pump!

Good job Dan, it is all in the planing. Metal fatigue and hood spring stays opening cycles over the years made springs fail. Replace them both hold the hood up with pallets and your carpet pads while changing to ease the spring tension. You might have to tie a rope to the spring to stretch it to the bolt mount and tie it off while threading the fasteners to keep from cross threading. Just make your plan and save some stress on yourself. My brother-in-law in KY has a family quarter horse gelding that is over 30 years old, keep what teeth they have floated and they also add beet pulp to his diet and make a mash and he is still going strong. Have to keep the secum active like in your region to prevent sand colic/impactions. It would be easy for them to drink 20 gallons of water a day out there in the heat. The other thing is he has buddy mini barren mares to have as herd companions for horse social stuff, he still protects them.

My favorite blogger about trucking, keep on trucking Dan

Ole Pete is looking good. Nice work.

Dan you are a credit to our industry. Your work ethic and professionalism is second to none!! 👍👍 Cheers from Canada.

Dan, you are a patient man. Good job. Thanks for sharing. Blessings

We just saw another episode of one of hardest working truck drivers/mechanics in No. America.👍

Love that Arizona sunshine ☀️ Safe travels when you’re back on the highway 🌵🇬🇧👍

It's hard to beat the feeling you get when you finish a tricky DIY project. Good job on the fix Dan! Thumbs up for Jazzy!

It feels good to accomplish projects on your own, not to mention saving a few bucks on the side. Hope you and yours had a blessed Easter. 👍🏻

Good morning Dan, Nothing like Spring in the desert, birds singing and the train rolling by. Drive safe out there.

Looking good

Good morrow Dan you did a awesome job on the muffler project.

Your fortunate that you have the Arizona weather that allows you to work outside. Be safe Dan, God bless....

“CONGRATULATIONS DAN”!!!!! Starting @9:29, you just passed OSHA Safety Training on “ascending and descending a ladder correctly”!!!! “YOU THE MAN, DAN”!!!!

Great video! Truck looks awesome!

Awesome video, Dan! Love seeing you work on this beautiful Peterbilt! I can't believe how expensive those brackets and clamps are! I guess they're not kidding when they say they nickel & dime truck drivers! Ridiculous! As always, be safe out there! Peace, Love, & Light!

Nice work there Dan.

Again job well done. Dan you are the man.

Cool stuff Dan 👍

Good morning, it’s Tuesday 1:15 am

The man! Getting the job done!

Looking good Dan

Nice one Dan. Happy Easter from Ireland ☘

Hell of a man Dan you're doing all this on your own. Would have been great to have a close friend that would help you out just for some beer and BBQ an extra set of hands and muscle.. Like I said you are the man Dan doing it all on your own.. Keep it up

Did I hear beer and a barbecue for some help ???? I'm on my way. I'm looking for an excuse to leave too, that would work.

When you’re an Independent, you have to make a Lot of Repairs yourself to make a better profit.👍

Safe travels

Safe Travels, Dan.

Looks like you ended up with the low restriction muffler of some type as most are not able to be looked through and see any light or ones I've looked at anyway compared to the particular Donaldson's I've used without the baffling ( has that funky bulged area in the pipe though so even they are not full diameter from end to end ) . Glad you took the steps you did with the shield as it turned out as intended. Oh those cables, it just about pays to have a spare cable and some clips with if using the truck a lot, good to inspect those cables every so often as quite often one will see a few strands broken and is a warning that its time to swap them out. The springs, yup have had one of those go boing too and just replaced them as a set rather then have the other one let go on me and sure noticed the springs were "helping" more then the old ones as they get weaker it seems over time.

Morning Dan. Love your fixing videos 🤣 Send that water pump back and ask for a credit note 👍🏻 Keep safe cheers Stevie 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I see red green now.🤭🤭🤭

Great video.

I've always thought would be nice to have a little scissor lift for working on the truck. Wouldn't need it often but would great to have it

Good work, the repair on the exhaust came out neat. About that power steering leak, if the joint is tight and still leaking take it apart to find out why. The bolt on that banjo fitting is hollow and if you over tighten the bolt it will will break off in the pump and ruin your day.

Was hoping to hear a cold start without the muffler 😉😉😉

Dan good show been a while be safe.

At 13:39 the vultures were beginning the death circle on an old guy working on a truck...LOL

I saw some Windex near the door. I hope you used it on the chrome exhaust parts before you fired it up. If not the chrome will show prints forever. A trick I learned on my Harley.

Tisk tisk Dan this was your chance to go straight piped 😬😬😂😂😂

Awesome Truck

After watching you and the 806 driver i could probably overhaul a truck. You got lucky, everytime i do exhaust I usually go all the way to the turbo.

Nice job on the mufflers. You will get it all together a little at a time. You and family safe. If your coming east through st.louis 64 40 at the Mississippi river there's bridge work .news says might last up to 6 months just a heads ups.

Morning Dan

What up Super Dan? Good morning.

Sir Dan !!! Great Job !!!! Always something to KEEP you busy for sure !!! Hope you enjoyed the ""EASTER "" break !! Did you get your ""COVID"" shot or this week ??? We got ours with NO problems with either shot !!!! Hope ALL is well there & ""KEEP IT SAFE "" !!!

Hey Dan, water pump under warranty? I thought you bought APU new. Thanks for all the videos. Stay safe. All the best.

Dan you need a high shed to work under age is going to do you the way it done me I'm 67 and five spinal surgeries I work as I can handle it keep up the good work pal

TCO: taken care of. Moving on to the next item on the list..... Don't know about you but somehow my fix it list always seems to get longer no matter what I do. lol.

I have been following you on this all along, fantastic! Thank you and Best Wishes from my channel (Greg GNP) to yours 👍

5.08 train for today!

A much bigger job replacing those stacks but they really look great..

Good tip, if they start watering down your food, you are getting old, lol. Take care.

👍😉. 5:10 train horn.

Hi dan good job there ..were is the other Peterbuilt has it sold ??

That was a job and a half between the parts and the cover it’s quite a bit of pipe , should be good to go now

Renovation completed means the next 498 video is on the road?

Good news: the muffler cover fits. Bad News: Can no longer open the drivers door 🤔😥

Did you check both sides for height? Wondering if the drives side is just a little taller now? Reason I ask this, we out on a new muffler years ago. Then a few days later was walking out of the truck stop. And could see the new side was taller than the old side.

What are the pros and cons of the vertical stack exhaust, and the horizontal exhaust, suspended from the tractor frame? I know the vertical stack looks neat, but are there other arguments for it?

How would one do this bur with straight pipe and keeping the heat shields to cover the exhaust pipe? I bought new tips and wanna straight pipe my truck but also keep heat shields

Next time back your pickup to the side of the truck your working on with the tailgate down to stand on way easier

I wonder if he put the muffler upside down? shame about the bonnet spring and cable Daniel

Did you fixed the fuel tanks problem?

I used to antiseize everything.

Man, its got to be gettin anyone down driving 6-8 weeks straight to go home for a week to be working on fixing the damned truck. Never able to get away from truckin’. Driving or turning wrenches.

Are you stepping on the wrong side of the ladder?? Almost put it on wrong lol?

Anti-seize for high heat mr Dan.

I've got to be related to this guy

Hey Dan where can i order a tool box like yours thanks be safe

👍🏿

Good morning dan how are you

Now the other side

Block up the hood to take pressure off. I use a barrel. Straight pipe that kitty cat.

Dan, I bet your going to get better fuel mileage now. JK nice work Stay Safe

What year is the 379, Dan?

get rid of the hay burner and use the money to buy straight pipes.

Train for today... I heard it.

Hi

What's up

If that’s the impact your brother in law got you I bet you think it was a great gift every time you use it.

Hi Dan, can you do a remake on this video ? So You Want to be an Owner Operator Flatbed Truck Driver How much Money can you Really Make This was done in 2016 My brother wants me to get back into it? but i don't know if its worth the time and effort if this yrs aren't paying out to restart up again.

Your like me, fix it yourself if you can, all others pay out $$$$

o

I do not see how you make any money. Teresa must be rich. By your own admission, you screw up at least one half of everything you try to fix. Why do you not just drive and let the mechanics do the rest?
