379 is a timeless classic,glad you got the ole girl running again,something about the good ole days that that keep us going back to ,must be the great memories,I am still in my 03 ,wouldn’t give it up for the world.

[@donho5818]

I was happier when you were driving the old truck.i l love the look of it and the way it sounds, and the long hood.

[@ralphe2839]

Glad your getting old truck running. Don’t need no show truck. Man sounds nice. Still driving my 2001bought new. If I lived close bye. I would come and help you. I think wife was right about you being happier with old truck. Nice to see daughter helping you. good luck will be watching dan.

[@jbbatulis3513]

Sure enough spot on...

[@AlaskaErik]

I've seen some of the new trucks and I think I'd be much happier in one of those!

[@travishartley8430]

Good to see you get the old truck running again

[@raykrv6a]

Just get a guy out that does dustless blasting. It will take the paint and rust right off and leave a great surface to paint the next day. Very quick and better then sandblasting. Cost you maybe 400-500 bucks.

[@richardpatrick1964]

Love tat 379 you got with cat cant go wrong with it brother

[@chriskahlson]

Love that old truck and the way that cat engine fired right up. Taking care of all those surface cosmetic type items will make it look great again. Fresh rods and oil change with a valve adjustment sounds like a great plan. Nice to see Brittany learning the ropes too.

[@kens.3729]

Nice meeting Brittany. Very Glad when you get to see your Family since you’re on the Road a Lot.👍

[@charlesferebee263]

OUTSTANDING. ! Looks like that is a 6NZ. Single turbo. They live forever if you take good care of them. Wicked Kool that you are bringing her back to life. Nothing better than a 379. ! 👍👍🏆😎

[@kenflodstrom]

NICE THANK YOU NICE VIDEO WATCHING FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA

[@robertbradford7892]

You're not wasting any time, it'll be nice to see her back on the road...👍👍

[@galenlong3745]

Dan, my Friend. there is nothing sweeter that a cat coming to life and you hear it growl then when she settles into idle she purrs so sweetly. glad you got the girl going I have missed the sound of that cat............. cant wait to see her running down the roads again.

[@jimanderson8002]

Good start, waiting on the first load on an old horse. No show truck but a sweet healthy ride. Peace.

[@johnnance648]

Savor the moments, family first. Your a good man Dan.

[@Jyard]

All the room between the engine and fire wall compared to the other one was something else!

[@shadowzinthegila1663]

Look forward to your videos

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

Always a joy to watch your videos 👍

[@robertduffin455]

Loving that Arizona sun Stay safe 🌵🇬🇧👍

[@billupstateny9151]

Hope things work out as anticipated. We tend to forget the importance of being happy

[@ericmckelvey1939]

Watching this video puts a smile on my face, to see the old Pete getting ready to hit the road again. Happy for you Dan! I’m wishing that I had bought a 379 instead of my 567 every day now.

[@integratirecarrotriver4026]

Thanks for taking us along.

[@frfrpr]

I had just started watching your channel when you parked it. Can't wait to hear that Cat running again.

[@sandman6471]

Hi Dan; Love your videos. I watch most on a Roku and it doesn't give you an option to like the videos, so I'm going back on my pc and liking them. Your videos are a nice night of entertainment, I select play all and sit back and watch one after another. Well, you stay safe and keep the videos coming, you are a super trucker. Take Care.

[@frederickoning191]

I can appreciate the wisdom of bringing the Peterbilt on line again. These trucks have withstood the test of time. A thorough mechanical overhaul and a lot of TLC ..... could serve you very well. I see a number of folks on the internet get started in trucking this way. You own this truck I imagine you are so far ahead and that the money you spend will come back to you in spades.

[@johnbrady6756]

Hi Dan great to see old truck running again also great to see you do what you can ie get you'r hands dirty if need.I am a retired UK truck driver /mechanic worked mostly for one man owner with 4 trucks i drove oldest truck a Volvo F88 all over UK like you flatbed trailer rope and sheet you call it tarpin.Good and bad memories life on the road eh.Stay safe out there enjoy being home i know you will

[@michaelkenny7248]

It's alive lol I miss this old cat sounds good just need some love.glad you brought it back Dan.

[@wildbill109]

Happy to see the old Peat up and running glad u decided to get her rebuilt, good luck with it!

[@wildbill109]

Sorry Pete!

[@imtimrich]

Dads a good teacher 👌

[@bradfordthompson8326]

Dan you have a wonderful team and a Beautiful Truck

[@cindykelly7845]

I,m glad your getting the old Pete back on the road.

[@rhythmgamefanatic7834]

Nice to see you putting the old truck back to work .

[@keithgoldberg8441]

Nice lights! Especially the strobes

[@rogerneal1459]

Good to see your daughter in a video. Best of luck with your old pete.

[@stevenwood4309]

Can't wait Dan to see that truck all up and ready to work.

[@rbj2292]

Keep on trucking!

[@russelltrupia4479]

Wow Dan she sounds great

[@larrypate2683]

Nice looking 379 can’t wait to see you on the road with

[@larrypate2683]

It

[@johnl8996]

You can tell that you are super excited to get the ball rolling on this. Nice time of year to be diving into a big project like that too.

[@dominick253]

Can't wait to take my daughter out trucking with me one day!

[@Chrisbryant94]

Happiness is happiness! However, I think you're emotions are gonna bite you. 1.2 million is a tired old gal, but if it makes you happy I hope it rolls another 1.2 million. I just think living on the road like you do an ultra loft/studio sleeper would be so much better. You old skoolers like my dad will never feel right unless you are in a classic styled big hood truck. I enjoy your vlogs keep it coming!

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Safe travels Dan

[@looking4wife]

I love the sound of a cat starting up. I enjoyed driving trucks more when they had a cat in them. Now I have a truck with a Cummins in it.

[@mikewhite3098]

Don’t forget to change your shocks out. Keep us updated on the progress. It’s getting exciting Dan. Hope you have a great visit home with the family.

[@620JK]

That’s a good looking and clean truck. Glad to see her going back into action soon

[@bradfordthompson8326]

[@malcolmbaijnauth4023]

Awesome video Dan. Nothing beats a Cat.

[@harleyhawk7959]

wish you luck on bringing back your Pete, like you said " not trying too make her pretty, just worthy" but there will be alot of drivers out there drooling

[@jackkilduff9122]

That old cat sounds pretty good.

[@bigjim3644]

Sounds beautiful

[@jbbatulis3513]

[@johnpullen6617]

Hi Dan all the best hope you have made the correct move with the truck safe travels ,

[@mississippinative4578]

It may take you a little while to get it back on the road and you will have to work the small problems out but I think you will be happier driving it.

[@patodwyer721]

Best of luck with the truck Dan

[@taffyjones57]

Hi, Dan, what a nice truck it is She sounds very nice. Can't wait to see it back on the road.

[@TTVZicaZachh]

You should make videos on anything trucking wise man! Your knowledge is godsent! help us new guys!

[@MrJim0823]

Thanks Dan

[@johnmeadows5645]

I put many hours in looking over the hood of a 379, but i gotta say my favorite Pete was the 387.

[@rjrosel]

Great video, there are 2 airbags under cab that usually leak or dry rot pretty bad as well. Enjoy home time.

[@richorourke7872]

Good luck Dan enjoy your time With the wife.

[@kevinhenry7273]

Nice to see the truck lite up at night.

[@dannygregg3906]

That's a good looking truck.

[@ehhjeep]

Wishing y'all the best! HOPE THE OLD GIRL RUNS STRONG FOR A LONG TIME!

[@JT-1969]

Great to see you showing your daughter some of what you do. Looking forward to seeing you driving the 379, sounded sooooooo good when you started her up. I’d sell your newer truck and invest the money in the 379, she’s a good truck with life left in her, just needs some TLC! 👍😀

[@kbhay1915]

Coolant hoses a must, and air hoses depending on budget, good luck Dan

[@edcronin5409]

Keep the older truck going as long as possible a lot less things that will go bad

[@anthony1636]

I would look at getting the frame blasted. Fairly cheap and makes it so easy to re-paint....

[@bigdog7408]

🙂I pulled reefer for almost 13 yrs and learned how to roll up a strap today lol 👍

[@antonionascimento5319]

Bom dia, lindo vídeo e boa sorte

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

You don’t want to get an engine addicted to that ether, we used to use “easy start” on tractors in the winter before engine heaters back in the 60’s & 70’s. The engines got “addicted” to the stuff and would hardly start even in mild weather. 👍👍

[@tysonfrank2105]

A little sniff will not get it addicted.....

[@daboo7725]

If the ole girls got " addicted " to the start fluid, probably means they were getting wore out ( lower compression ) and close to a rebuild

[@robertstewart1262]

When my Shakaliner wore out , I hunted and found a glider. 98 Detroit in a 2012 Columbia. Paper logs and dependability. The old Pete sounds good Dan.

[@i6_illuminaughty876]

You ever thought of tuning and putting a new manifold, and a turbo to open her up and let er breath? Better airflow in and out= better MPG, especially with a tune! Im sure PDI can help out in that department with your CAT

[@simentalg]

Well there you go looks like you found a driver for the other truck she has a good teacher so works out

[@tomland5837]

Thank you for another great video Dan!!! Also, I watch all your videos to the very end, HA!!

[@joseherrera9743]

cant wait for this one

[@tHOMASBurleson-xm1ru]

379 and 389 or sims to be the best semi trucks ever

[@SH-di8im]

The needle scaler works really good have been wanting to do it on my 98 pet

[@nedflora1154]

Thats a good looking trailer. Been here long time love your videos

[@docholiday1034]

Dan do a oil sample and send it in before the rods and mains. Let you know how cam and other stuff is..👍👍👍👍 Needler does a great job on rust.

[@edbutton9445]

Very good advice. Oil sample every 10K miles. Inexpensive way to know what's happening internally. Trans and rears too.

[@joshsingleton8312]

I liked how you said might try it out for a couple years and see how it does and ya might just hang on to it a little while longer lol that’s your first new truck a farm in Georgia couldn’t buy that truck lol but I know how you feel

[@williamsamsil771]

listen to that cat purr.

[@jmarco4331]

Hey Dan , I remember when u did that , didn’t think it was that long ago…

[@keithhoward2781]

Hey Dan you might want to pickup a clay bar to go over your truck. That will help remove the oxidation and other stuff from the paint. Should be able to pick one up at walmart or parts house where they sell car wax and stuff.

[@jim-uu2db]

I keep looking at the ground for more rattlesnakes like that other time.

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool stuff Dan 👍👍

[@-Thomsen-]

Purring like a cat 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉

[@behroozkhaleghirad]

A real truck driver must be able to fix his own truck. Like you.

[@azcactusflower1]

Now a paint sponsor :) Let's roll!

[@timothyosborn1697]

Slick tool for rolling those straps...

[@danielhahn5455]

Super Trucker Dan, don't want to be a hater, but, after a Cat engine sits for a long time without running. The lower o-ring seals on the cylinder liners will get hard and start leaking after being put back into service. I was a mechanic for Cat for 27 years and saw it happen alot.

[@ANDREASRIAL]

I will never get rid of my 3406e. Good luck Dan.

[@gord2358]

Those strobe lights will be awesome if you ever have to pull over to the side of the road for an emergency or breakdown.

[@JawTooth]

I was hoping to see another train. lol

[@jimsloan8549]

More trailer lites would look cool

[@davidwpinkston4226]

i felt really good when she fired right up

[@east1851]

Love the po boy super singles

[@edbutton9445]

Dan, good luck with the 6NZ back on the road. Mercer is a great company. Went to school with the guy who was head of contractor relations. Are you calculating and tracking your revenue per mile with the 579? And your ownership and operating cost per mile. Without these impossible to know the health of your business. If you know these, consider letting your viewers know. Good advertisement for Mercer. Easy to set up a spread sheet and just plug in numbers weekly. You can do it.

[@pauldietrich478]

Dan, If you are going to get a needle scaler get a good one, the ones from Harbor Freight are junk. Are you going to run 2 trucks ?.....
