That exhaust note…. Love that.

[@wyattoneable]

After working on cars and teaching diagnostics each and every day, it's got to be nice to get out with a classic machine and just have fun. It's good to see you enjoying a nice day. I do that with my 2004 Corvette too. Just drive the heck out of it...all within the law of course. ;)

[@ScannerDanner]

Couldn't agree more!

[@ScannerDanner]

How can I have 360,000 subscribers and only 3700 of you like this lol. Whatever, I'm certain me and the other 3700 viewers think you've all missed out. Have a great day everyone. Just watched this again for like the 20th time 😂

[@lexrios5452]

Just picked one up with a 360 that ill be restoring. This video is SO inspirational!

[@skydragon1966]

No stereo needed, sounds amazing.

[@ScannerDanner]

Funny thing, I put a kick ass stereo in it and I'm always turning it down so I can hear the truck 🤣 what a waste that was!

[@skydragon1966]

I grew up near Greensburg and went to school there and those trucks were all over, but none of them looked or sounded that good.

[@lexrios5452]

​@@ScannerDannerWhat exhaust did you run with?

[@sumatrican5990]

Great job on that exhaust! Sounds GREAT!

[@kevinstill1]

Man, thanks for the virtual ride-along. That's a sweet machine. I would love to have one of my own just like this.

Loved these trucks, it was all fun and games till someone got stuck and here came the power wagon to pull them out. They were beasts and always saved the day.

Awesome truck brother! I am so happy for you!

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Wow...your truck sounds amazing! And it looks great, too. Thanks for sharing. That 413 fits right in between the 383 and the 440. Very cool.

[@BigDogDiagnostics]

What a beautiful truck! I’ve been following the videos you’ve made making miscellaneous repairs here and there, I must say good work! And sounds like a beast! Someday I’ll find something I want to restore with my son. Probably an old Chevy square body. I’m so mad at Chrysler products lately, can’t even look at them 😂.

[@weshawkins7165]

Love it! One of these days I will get my 383 big block Dart back on the road.

[@labrat6910]

Nice bro!Thanx Paul

[@billkaczynski7709]

Thanks Paul for the memories! Left Pgh. In 62. I must say you have a fine ride, to nice to put on the trails. I started playing with PW’s about 20 years ago, my favorite was a 68 that my grand kids learned how to drive a 4 on the floor, and fight with the transfer case getting it in and out of 4x4. Have fun!

[@ScannerDanner]

Thank you Bill!

SWEET 👍👍👍

[@boukharyfamily7420]

I loved the sound of the engine during shifting

[@ScannerDanner]

Yeah it had kind of a whistle to it. I don't hear that when I'm in the truck. Maybe a gear drive timing set was put in this? I didn't build the engine so I don't know.

[@MrBliss-jk5ct]

The starter motors on those have such a distinct sound also..love it

Dude, that is a badass Power Wagon!! I have a 1978 W200 that we are contemplating going through. Ours is a factory 440. We have a musclecar shop down here in Texas so finding time in between customer projects is tough, but after watching your badass video, I think we are going to find the time!

I know that area! Berryman Ave to Rt 88, through Library then up the hill towards Trax Farm. I had a 1978 Macho Power Wagon in the '80s. Same short bed but with a 318 and it was yellow and black. You have a beauty but need a bigger car port!

[@ScannerDanner]

Right? But it at least fits for the winter. Have you been following our engine build @jamsionline ?

[@NC-bs6yi]

I can't say enough about your awesome videos. Helped me out a few times for sure. Also, you are a great motivator. By the way absolutely charge for your time and your knowledge! All customers have to do is ask why and I am almost certain you would explain to them! You rock bro! DONT BE A FRIGGIN PARTS CHANGER. Also, I don't know if you have ever worked on early 2002-2007 Dodge Durangos or Dodge Rams but I had a crank no start and also a no crank and no start at times. the problem was a short on the crankshaft sensor harness. Replaced that and the cam sensor cause I was already there. Problem solved

Can I make a 2007 Chevy fuel pump work in my 1997 Chevy? Trucks. Sweet ride.

[@ScannerDanner]

Why would you want to do that?

[@ScanlineCity]

Is that a rhino roll bar you installed? Is it mounted on top or between the wheel wells? Trying to find a roll bar for same truck

[@ScannerDanner]

I bought it off of a guy on marketplace so I have no idea who makes it. It mounted on my wheel wells in the back and very near the factory macho roll bar location on the front. I believe I moved it forward a bit as I didn't like the factory locations being too far back

[@ScanlineCity]

@@ScannerDanner Awesome! I'll try and find something. Your build is amazing

custom exhaust, short tube headers, 2.5inch Y-pipe going into a 3" collector, single muffler, then splits back out into 2.5 duals out each side. The muffler is a thrush, I think?
