Thanks for taking the time to film these videos for us Ezra, it's annoying enough having to go back and forth getting tools doing a job without moving a camera around while you do it, then it's still gotta be edited and uploaded, your efforts really are appreciated.

Have you considered also uploading to Floatplane? I subscribe to a few content creators on floatplane. I enjoy watching videos ad free and still support the creators financially. Your channel is one that I would definitely spend a few bucks a month on.

2nd up of coffee and a great video I didn't get time to watch that's a way to relax while the sun comes up you are a true craftsman and we must be related because Bob's your uncle is a good one my kids always say they dont have an uncle Bob stay safe great video

This truck is coming out mint and runs like a top. Excellent work dude! Put her to work!

Old Red getting better each day. Old School Kool !!

Lookin good Sounding like it could pull the Titanic off the bottom of the ocean ! Dang Ez you got this thing full on Awesome! Love it !! Cheers from Sydney Australia yet again . 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺 🇺🇸

That is a smooth running smooth idling Cummins. I love the simplicity of the old big cams. We have one in a 9370 binder and in a Deere 8960 tractor

I love a show truck as much as the next guy, but to know u r actually gonna be using this beauty is awesome brother. She’s comin along great🍻

Gotta pull the Jakes and rocker boxes . . Wow good thing you pulled it apart . Great video thanks . That engine is so clean inside . 400 big cams are a good running dependable motor . And with a little pump work they can run like striped assed apes. Jakes sound like there PULLING down good and hard . AWESOME

Fabulous Ezra, your videos are top notch.

How'd you like Jammin' EIGHTEEN Gears!!?? 😁🍻🍻😊 ..... It was a long time dream, but the biggest thing I ever drove was a Ford F-450 Box Truck. Almost drove a HEMTT 8X8, but missed out. It's fun watching you guys though. I'm A 60yr old Disabled Veteran. Too late for me to start something like that now. But I had NO shortage of fun in what you guys call "4 wheelers"! Can't believe how " theoretically easy" that 13 to 18spd swap was. It used to be ROCKET SCIENCE to swap a 5spd for a 6spd in a Mustang!!! 😵😠😭 Neat trick with the Pilot Shaft, welded to a Jack, for EASIER Clutch alignment. I'm telling friends about that one!! Back to watching! Started from episode one.

As a british commercial mechanic i enjoy seing a good mechanic at work doing something he loves thier is no better feeling than standing back and seeing and hearing something you put your heart and a bit of soul in come to life and breathe again its like a rebirth and a new life for something that was dead and forgotten.

I don't know a whole lot about the Big Cam 350's and 400's. My grandfather loved them. He had a small fleet of trucks all were Cummins powered. He shook his head when I bought a W900L with a Cat. 🤷‍♂️😂

I can still remember the first time I was old enough to ride with my uncle for the summer. 1985, I spent the entire school vacation with him, 78 359 with the KTTA, and a Double Eagle 96" sleeper. He was with Ligon before Landstar bought them out. The sound of that Cummins screaming through 6" pipes was never forgotten. My grandpa ran an 84 359 with the BC 400 up until he passed away in 88. Loved both those trucks and engines and I ended up becoming a lifelong Detroit fanatic, 😂. I have owned a 3406E powered classic, a 389 with deleted ISX 600, and they were both powerhouses, but I still run the little mean green 12.7 Detroit machine today, my gliders all have a Detroit. But I wouldn't give to find a 359 with a KTTA and recreate my uncles rig.

I Love this man video he like to do things the right way

That is purring like a kitten👍

The camera falls back and in my head all I can think about is the chick from Talladega nights screaming” I love the way the vibrations just running up my legs!!” 😂😂 ..... once you get all this work done I think you need to register the truck to one of those vehicle extended warranty phone calls 😂😂🤣🤣

Big red sounds awesome going down the road great job 👍🏼

Truck looks and sounds great. I watch these videos drinking my morning coffee :p

Anything Cummins 855ci is magical in my eyes!

Both of those injector part #'s are listed under your 0531CPL. I got high flow injectors and a built fuel pump from Pittsburgh Power about 20 years ago for my BCIV. I also plumbed a duel fuel line to feed fuel to the head from both the front and rear. I also added a ceramic coated pulse exhaust manifold. Those mods cost me about $1600 at the time. The motor really woke up and responded well, adding 125-150 hp. I also gained .6mpg. So the fuel savings ended paying for everything in the long run! BOOM

This thing is getting nicer and nicer every single day. Both you and Twin Sticks are doing a very good job on your trucks.

It’s crazy how you can make a video so enjoyable to watch and still very informative on how work on these old trucks, I’ve learned a lot from your videos. Great content

You seem to be very good on your mechanical skills. Good job. God bless you.

I just want to show some appreciation. I am not a trucker, not a mechanic, and not American :-) But I appreciate you, with your set of skills and how humble you are about it all, trying to get a bit closer to achieving your goals every day by putting in the work, supported by your family. It is a great thing to watch. And hey, name one boy or guy that doesn't like trucks, right? :-)

A master mecanic on top of that

Now all that is left,is to replace all of the old incandescent dash lights;with bright energy efficient LED bulbs,and to upgrade the headlights to LEDs,and she's good to go.I would love to see this truck in a video of the 2021 Mid Western ATHS truck show later this year.

You did a really nice job on Ole Red

I gotta tell u men everytime I c guys like u bringing back these beauty to life and in great condition inspires me to get my own. Been a fan of trucks since i was a kid...

I love them Old big cam Cummins, Back in the day that's how I done the overhead, Untell I run across a old school mechanic in Phoenix Arizona, He taught me to do one hole at a time in firing order, Adjust your valves , And then turn the engine all the way over again, And adjust the injector, All 6 holes but do it in firing order, Takes a little bit longer but it is worth it, It made a huge difference the way it fired up and in cold weather, and it made a huge difference the way it pulled and ran Cooler , be safe

You can't tell me you dont have a smile on your face driving that old girl around. Big pride rt there. Great job ez

My dad sure has heartwarming stories about the Big Can Cummins back when he drove plenty of Freightliners and a Pete 362 back in the 90s!! You should add a rear light bar on Ol Red!!

So glad I found this channel! Thanks Ezra for the videos and Twin Sticks for the suggestion!

I got my leg smashed by a forklift 17 years ago. These old trucks reminds me of when I started, but only dream of a truck like this. I remember when I would have to wear a rain jacket because I could put my fingers in the gap above the door.

I'm just loving how this old girl has transformed. Keep up the great work. Sweet Pete.🇺🇸🇺🇸

Watched em all. Your content is by far the best when it comes to overhauling or repairing trucks! Your approach is what makes the difference instead to throw your wallet at specialists you are swinging the wrench 🛠️! Best from Germany

Brother l have to Say watching You Work on your Truck is Awesome it's Really Good to watch a Person Take Pride in His Work You are always Careful and Very Clean when You are able to You just don't throw things around You Cover things up that needs covering to keep Dirt or Dust or something from falling in I'm Not putting Twinstick Down But He's Always Throwing His Tools and Part's around He just doesn't seem to Care Like You do He's Always Beating on thing's Like l said I'm not putting HIM Down l just Like your way of working Much Better l can tell You take Pride in your Work and Truck Awesome Video

Yes! Old red update! Loving the level of dedication you have to this truck. We have the same engine and right now I am getting a fair amount of blue smoke and when given throttle she sounds a bit rough so I want to do an overhead and new injectors. Thank you for the step by step instructions! 👍🚛

Been following this rebuild since episode 1. The old girl definitely has the twinkle back in her eyes. Great job, Ezra!!

Old Red is coming along nicely!! Your knowledge and passion has that truck just about ready to earn for you and look good doing it!!! Really like how you fix things completely and don’t do just patch work !!! Awesome work ethic!!! You keep doing what you do and we will definitely see you on the next one 😎✌️

Your truck sounds so good😁👍

That is one LOVED up truck.

Boy she has come a long way since you brought the old girl home, good job

Fantastic! That's looking so nice

Thanks for shareing. Love the truck 🤙

Well done!! Enjoyed!!

So cool love how far it’s come 🔥

Started in seventy eight. two ninety cummins then three hundred then 400 big cam then 435 now got isx 450 injectors for it I think are six hundred a piece. Have never had to replace yet. Got million six miles on them. Great mechanic. Learn a lot from Ezra.

Nice job addressing those injectors and all that valvetrain stuff. Definitely a smart man for knocking it out before it becomes a problem. Always look forward to Old Red as it's one of my favorite projects on the 'Tube! I enjoyed the vidja as usual. Take care Ezra, and excited for the next one! 👍👍😎

Sounding good looking great 👍
