I see a future episode of Mike the truck nut. Where Mike pours a concrete pad to keep Duke from sinking into the ground.

I am sure you know this Mike but you are lucky to still have your Dad with you in your shop. I am 56 and would kill to have mine in my shop now but lost him when I was 20 back in 87. He was a trucker starting back in the 60's and drove for Emerson Electric making trips into Canada back in the day. Glad yours is still around.

Lost my only parent and mother right before my 19th bday in 2021 I understand

I agree with your dad, no straight pipes. I like it quiet. Just the right visor slant.

We need to see more of your dad working with you in the shop this episode was brilliant with your dad

Mike good morning from Adelaide Sat 8am the Duke is the best I love bonnetted,trucks looking out over the bonnet is cool view ,I've driven Ford LOUIEVILLE, international S lines but we didn't get Peterbuilt in many numbers here in Australia .He now needs some good shiny wheels ,maybe put that cat in the cab to catch the mice LOL ,great seeing Dad there he is a wonderful addition to your channel ,you are very lucky he shares your passion for trucks ,so thanks for the cheerful start to my weekend Mate Cheers Kym Adelaide

Experience is the one thing you gain right AFTER you needed it.

The visor is what it needed. Looks cool.

I second the idea of you building a concrete pad for Duke, on the side of the garage! However, i say put a carport over the new concrete pad, also...if you were to build it!

Hey Mike, you should have check the oil,JUST SAYING OK!!! DUKE is look good!! I just love seeing you & dad working together , great times!! Stay safe!!👍👌🎓

You are a very good driver and have obviously been at it a long time to get that unstuck as easily as you did without damage

that looks great Mike. thats a huge improvement

Looking better all the time, once that grill surround gets polished, aluminum buds put on and the frame painted, and it will be absolutely fabulous.

i am glad to see the cheif inspector and supervisor was keeping an eye on you. that way it gets done right with less shenanigans..

it is amazing what a buffer and some SOlvol Autosol can do for aluminum, the grill ring would not take that long and look like chrome when you are finished,

Now it's time to polish the grill surround, that will make it pop.

no no not that i think huge stacks on them trucks looks stupid i,m old school but what u do need is a huge cement pad beside and in front of that garage keep up the great work mike

Check the oil? Bah! Oil is highly overrated. 😙 That is some wicked soft ground! 😮 Directions? What are directions? Oh, yeah, those things my wife gives to me and I ignore. 😆 The new visor looks great! Not too big, not too small, not too much drop, just right. New headlights look good too. Another great thing about LED's is they have a lower current draw than incandescent, halogen or HID.

You just need to add a Freightliner and an International to the Cabover family, seeing as you have Petebilt and Kenworth in the fleet. Duke is looking cool though, your Pops is right, looks like a logging truck. Get the front mudflaps on Duke and you’ve cracked it.

wider steer tires and big straight pipes would look awsome on the truck

That is a sweet looking rig. Are you going to polish the fuel tanks? Those are some pretty lame looking mud flaps. What's the distance between yoour new house and the shop/ old house?

A little "air out my feelings moment" .... why don't they do something at the factory when its known that all vehicles are just rolling mouse homes... a rodent residentery so speaking. At least install mouse and other rodent traps that can be cleaned occasionally. Its a bugger to keep a small fleet clean of them and no matter how often you chase them out, another one is moving in in another spot. I left my doors open when I parked my rigs near home in our building and fed my ferial cats in on the floors. It was pretty darn good for the most part with just a bit of cat hair to clean out once in a great while. I had just installed all of a interior in one rig, took it on a maiden voyage out to a logging site... came back from eating lunch with those guys and swapping lies... heard something that kind of caught my attention so blew it off. Next day was a holiday and so going to give er a shine for the early next day outing... might as well hook up a new speaker I got and guess what... a mouse house was already started in that location!! Come on guys who decide what is next in fixing our rigs to get a million miles on a single charged battery that fits in your pocket... ya, sell that to the guy next door who owns the Brooklyn bridge. Your on the right tract to get all those liners down and clean out those sob's before its really bad again.

Thick white smoke is water but transparent white smoke is unburnt fuel, I spoke to one of our engine guys and he thinks its just sticky vva heads or injectors from lack of use. his recommendation was to put some fuel conditioner in and make it work.

Sounds like it has a slight miss at idle to me but hard to tell off a video

Probably need to start with some concrete work safe all the trucks from sinking and getting stuck and easy to wash down
