I know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.

@Apollo Eli Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

@Apollo Eli it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass !

The good ole retro intro. I remember that!

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@davestarr7112]

Yeah, I had to quickly look back at the video number to see if, perhaps, I had clicked on the wrong thing. Dan is one of the few content producers who take the time to number all his videos/vlogs and I appreciate it. With many producers once a video has been up for a few months you can just about forget finding it again, that's for sure. Thanks for taking the time to keep us up to bdate, Dan, have a great Easter, and may all the parts you ordered come in on time and fit right.

Another great video. You probably know this but in case you don't, anti seize on all hardware, especially stainless steel really helps keep threads from gaulding as you tighten and getting things apart.

[@baronkopp4313]

Loved the old intro!!

[@XxkillertychicusxX]

You are slowly making that truck old school cool. I can hear it in your voice you want to do it. You have been driving long enough make it happen!

[@Uncle-Duncan-Shack]

Glad the leak on the power steering pump seems to only have been a loose banjo fitting. Also glad you are sticking to keeping it standard with mufflers, the noise of straight pipes is going to cause very tiring discomfort and that is not fun.

[@lanceewalt2431]

Dan , when you put it back together put just a little grease on those stainless bolts . The threads can gall up if you don’t , then they are junk and impossible to work with ..

[@areyes1979ar]

Dan thank you for your videos keep them rolling along. Not only are they interested you give good tips on products and driving weather condition advice.

Cheaper than maintaining a new truck!

[@MrBigR928]

@@maxracingteam23 You got that right! I'll compare my parts receipts for my 1996 W9 against a new truck any day! I don't go to Kenworth unless I have to. Once I get that part number I can go shopping! But I do stay away from cheap off brand parts because you do get what you pay for sometimes.

I watched every video of yours that everyone started like that since the first one and what kind of pipes are you going to put on it Dan you are an tremendous mechanic

[@JMAC-rs6ey]

Great job and pm.

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Dan

[@sean7554]

You could still go straight pipe without spending $2000, just make your own. The Pete I bought. Had 8 inch straight pipes already on it. It's just 2 pipes capped at the bottom with a hole drilled in the bottom so water can drain out. The flex pipe goes into the the side of the pipe just above the bottom. The inside looks to have a inner heatsheild. Cuz I could drive the truck all day and not even burn myself on the stack. Looks to me like your not afraid to work on your truck. You could probably pull that off.

[@timboslice3755]

Enjoy your home time Dan! Don't work too hard😆

[@westside04]

Always new things popped up !! 🏴‍☠️

[@Wayne-wl8lw]

What no 8" dynaflex pipes with Pickett elbows 😁😁😁

[@maxracingteam23]

👌👌👌👌

[@cooperdog9956]

The bracket racket!

[@ronnieterry4916]

The power steering is probably leaking from a bolt. A fairly easy fix that has worked me is take out the bolt clean the bolt and hole coat the bolt with silicone and let it set for ten minutes then tighten slowly. The exhaust the pipe coming to the muffler is probably the bad piece the muffler is probably still good you can probably very carefully cut the pipe with a right angle grinder or partially cut the pipe and get it to slip apart. Or if the muffler connector is bad and the base of the muffler is still solid you can have another piece welded on to the muffler thus reconnecting it to another new exhaust pipe. I do know that the muffler cost a petty penny.

[@guybelding8564]

Another scratch the check episode for Dan. Sorry to hear it. Battle on sir.

[@cookiemomartist]

So glad for your new vid. Been waiting and anxious for news. Keep on keeping on,. You make my days brighter.

[@woodworking5979]

Get some crows feet wrenches for those power steering lines. Good video Dan

[@RaoulThomas007]

Good idea! NAPA’s Evercraft (spelling) line has a set that’s reasonably priced!

[@bradcarroll3719]

At 6:30 it looks good to me. A muffler is just an accessory.

[@artmatthes3559]

Dan, you need a good set of torches. Especially when owning a truck and everything is rusted. I could not live without a set of torches. They come in handy all the time. But I still like all your things you put on KZbin. Be careful.

[@khwoods01]

Always something to do!

[@Embermist69]

Old school intro, I like it. As to fixing, the job is never done. Always something to be fixed. Pricey on the parts, but since it's from a dealership this doesn't surprise me much. And heavy-duty dealership prices are even more then light-duty. Price of owner/operating. And I see you was feeling on fire today. 😁

[@MrRyanrk12]

I know about 7 or 8 years ago when I had my 379 those brackets that wrap around the muffler and hold the decorative heat shield on we're not cheap there were a couple hundred bucks plus the Chrome elbows are very expensive plus aggravating to change hence why I just put straight pipes on and never had any problems

[@jbbatulis3513]

Wow...$$$ for replacement parts but ya gotta have em to stay in business....Nice weather at your place...Easy fix on PS leak though.

[@dalejablonski436]

[@ko9446]

Not sure if it applies here but a trick I learned in the ARMY working on Helicopters. For hard to diagnose leaks we clean and douse in baby powder. When it leaks again a line will lead you to the leak start point.

[@butchflatheader6183]

Love your attitude Dan, God almighty those exhaust parts are expensive. We're in the wrong business.

[@chriskahlson]

What a deal peeling off $100- bills and putting that back in order so it won’t wear out for a while but better fix and replace than get blindsided on the road during a long haul run, Lucas has some great power steering no leak additives at the auto stores

7 inch straight pipes would really look nice on Your truck super Dan 😁 No more headaches and not to tell you what to do but like the oil leak normally what I do after I fix it I wrap a old white T-shirt or some around it Make sure i see no more oil and she stops Leaking , Them edge protectors that was a good investment they are nice And I amire your brick house Keep up the good work be safe 😎 And your shot I don't want to get one but I think I'm going to because I understand they are going too make all truck drivers or owner operators get a shot or you cannot drive truck , We are just like a bunch of sheep now 😂😂 its all government controlled 😎

[@zippo1009]

Good to see everything is fine...Have been thinking about you since i knew you were home for the vaccine... Regarding the exhaust; on my boat's exhaust muffler, someone said i should use a heat resistant "tape/band/bandage" between the muffler and the bracket. That really helped the muffler not rusting that much because no metal was rubbing while it was "shaking" :-) Sorry about my bad english, but i hope you understood at least most of it :-D

[@Chad.Heinrich.]

That intro! I remember that 👍

[@frankirwin2377]

Exhaust flaps should stop a lot of that water dropping in like a large rain gauge and if you had a welder. I think I would make those brackets for the exhaust. Investing in a welder and acetylene torch might be the way to go. Enjoy that home time Dan!

[@kevinbowers3917]

You had the right idea at new straight pipes as you will be halfway there in parts,, hindsight is always 20/20. I feel your pain, daily.. Auto tech by trade, boo.. might go trucking. Stay safe,ed.

Hey Dan, this is Old School Randy, formally known as "Blue Diamond" and I was just wondering if you homesteads your land, purchased out right, or what, because man you are way out in the middle of God's country! I'd love to find a couple of acres out there, and maybe live in a small rv trailer by myself, and maybe get me a couple of dogs, and a pony, and maybe some farm critters!...

[@docb.9908]

Good thing! 😎 Thanks for the fun video, Dan. Hope you're rested up. Good to hear you got your first vaccine shot. I'm due for my second shot next Friday.

[@jmcnallyua]

You could have done the poor man's straight pipe exhaust on your semi truck all you had to do was remove the muffler and put a straight piece of pipe where the muffler was and just hooked it up and you would have still had your Chrome stack sticking out the top of your truck and nobody would have seen the pipe because it would have been hidden behind the Chrome covers and it would have sounded aggressive but anyway keep up the good KZbin videos

The old intro was a nice throw back I literally had to check the date on the video to make sure it was a new one. Sounds like an expensive exhaust fix. If the brackets that hold the muffler cost over $100 dollars I would hate to see what the muffler coast. The old 379 would look good with straight pipes rhough

hate to say this but--------i think i would be going over the other muffler with a fine tooth comb if it was me---if u replaced both mufflers at the same time--why did one side get more rain and rust out only? it might save ya from doing it on the road later. hope u wash behind the where the stack was at--i'm sure u will, i know i would-easy to do now.

[@jimanderson8002]

Never liked straight tipped exhaust, always liked the curved out tips. Didn't understand why they needed to be so high either, would have lowered my to just about the sleeper line to help with wind drag. Used to like the 'tea pot' pipes with the little covers on them (when not in use they closed the top to prevent rain of snow falling down into the pipes).
