Having driven 5.5 hours in the cold once, I know how that feels Grant. Many thanks for sharing your year with us, we are honored that you took us along your journey, and what a journey it has been. Here is to next year. Cheers.

[@sethlinalennon]

@Micheal Hello how are you doing today Will love to know you if you don’t mind sending me your gmail address so that we talk on google chat

[@richardmaaske2601]

I think that is wonderful that you got Snowmobiles. I have two Arctic Cat Snowmobiles myself. One is a 1991 Arctic cat Wildcat 700 and a Arctic Cat ZRT 800 Snowmobile.I been Snowmobiling for 49 Years.

[@mjl9702]

you could have a plugged heater core, also check for mouse nests by the heater core. new bearings and a new hub cap aren't too bad of a cost for what you paid for it.

[@jeepjeff9131]

If your heater hoses are warm and you're not getting heat I would start by clearing out your heater core. Run a garden hose to it to flush it until the water comes out clear. I had a couple heater cores work great after flushing.

[@chrislovett6120]

Merry Christmas to you and Grant as well. Cool old truck, and sleds as well, as a 30 year trucker I can tell you the 9 speed is one of the easiest to learn on and is a good tough transmission.

[@spike3082]

Yea unless your used to a 10 speed and try to turn it into a 10 speed like I did once or twice you learn very quickly it don't work out lol

[@chrislovett6120]

@@spike3082 true, my favorite is the 18. Never been a 10 speed fan, there’s something unnatural about having to compress the spring for 5th gear.

[@spike3082]

@Chris Lovett that's what I'm used to drove a 10 speed most of my 10 years on the road

[@ScoutPL]

I drove trucks in the 80's and everything I ever drove was a 9 speed.

[@melvinwaller3985]

Merry Christmas from Florida where it is in the low 30's this morning, not cold enough for me but it is for your regular Floridians!

[@barrygrant2907]

I watch another farmer whose semi-truck had no heat, and it was a clogged heater core. A simple fix--once he could get to it. I'd plan on reworking both front hubs while you have plenty of time. Happy new year to both of you--and the cat!

[@knoester7714]

Wishing you all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas, and a Happy and Blessed New Year

[@jamesoestrike2517]

Merry Christmas to you guys! I love the way you are both so optimistic each time you share your everyday adventures!

[@jamesazure5577]

It's not Andrew 's ch. Lol

[@willgallatin2802]

With both hoses being warm, check the blend doors under the dash. Odds are the cable is in needs of replacement.

[@michaelshylaluckey2838]

Your axel is a set back axel. That is better than mine! Headlights have been discontinued, there are no viable aftermarket’s available. From our experience if you drive on washboards one headlight will be looking for bait while the other goes fishing. Ours had 4.11 rear ends, I changed them to 3.77 ratios. If you have any issues reach out to C&H truck parts in Sioux City or B&D trucks in Blair. They have been very helpful to us getting started and finding reman and used parts, Peterbilt parts are hard to find for my 1990 377. Good luck!

[@bobrat]

Hey Grant I drove from Milwaukee to Ft Richardson in Anchorage in December 1974,in a 66 VW Micro Bus. Air cooled with a hopped up 65 hp engine. It was in the +30's when I left Wisconsin. Below zero° F. from Ft Nelson BC. To Anchorage AK. Grant maybe disconnect the heater hoses and pressure test the heater core. Sounds like you're getting hot cooling liquid and fan but zero heat.

[@johnsandell4501]

Wow, does anything ever not need repairs when I buy used. It makes for good wrenching. Congratulations on your fun and farming purchases.

[@SpatialDragon]

We had a -43 F. temp here in Casper, Wyoming. We get cold air that goes up and then comes down right on Casper. Wind chill was -70's.

[@brianwalker9185]

Merry Christmas kids. You've got a fun place to visit on my computer. Stay safe

[@ridgerunner80]

Laying odds its the heater core plugged, and with the way the back of cab was it had a sleeper at one time, my second otr truck was a 98 377 sfa Pete 500 hp 12.7 same 9 spd with a splitter box ( 13spd conversion) only advice I'm going to offer is have the oil cooler checked out

[@norm-nas]

Texas truck, the heat valves were shut off most of the time. Coolant needs to flow regularly through the core to keep it clean. I'm guessing the core is 80% plugged and the 20% flow which is enough to make the hoses hot is not enough to begin warming the interior on such a cold day.

[@aaronsanborn4291]

Shut off valve for the heater lines are usually on the passenger side of the engine...make sure they are opened up...I've driven a lot of older trucks

[@erichk1674]

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 I didn’t realize that you have such beautiful eyes 👀. There’s your compliment for that day .

[@kopenhagenkid]

Merry Christmas 🎄 Laura and Grant

[@smkhotshotsinc.1776]

Might need a new heater core for the heating. Might have a leak! Merry Christmas

[@robertnessler8302]

Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family

[@bluestarcesium]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I in Pa. And Friday night my locks to my doors froze. It took me forty minutes with WD 40 and heating up my key to unlock my truck. It was minus 14 with the wind chill. The temperature was 4 degrees. Grant should be more careful with cold weather. Always carry a wool blanket in your pickup just for situations like this.🙂🙂✝️

[@JoseGarcia-hk3mk]

A blessed happy new year to everyone and prosperous 👋👍❤️🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@tatewilson7678]

Blend door could be stuck, or the actuator could be bad. Feel both heater hoses, they should be pretty close to each other in temperature. If one is noticeably colder, the heater core is likely plugged

[@trackie1957]

Starting snowmobiles in negative temperatures is a good workout.

[@magalion.6500]

Merry Christmas,keep each other warm.hope you didnt get shafted with that truck,good luck with it.

[@LilmissJ111]

Merry Christmas to you all!

[@juliemadden1206]

Happy Christmas and new year guys🇮🇪

[@standardseven]

Newer Diesel school buses still have shutoffs for in cabin heat as well. Blend door in the cab may not be moving for the heat.

[@jackjensen9911]

I hope you're taking care of the Black Kitty Cat. Hope you're keeping him warm! Please!

[@byedoughrods5403]

MERRY Christmas and my you continue to be blessed. Have a happy and safe new year

[@RUSTON51EVADP]

Check anytime Freeze cause it carries engine temp thru the heater core in the truck cab if liquid low cold or lukewarm air blows

[@dalemayes3854]

Merry Christmas to you and all your family 👪

[@tassiespirit]

A big thumbs up for seeing Scottie!

[@andrigtmiller]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@stevenkern5659]

make sure the water valves are tuned the correct way and if all else fails reverse the water lines that sometimes will work

[@markcunningham3205]

Merry Christmas from North Carolina !!!! its cold here but not that cold!!!

[@roberthildinger4511]

Your can do attitude & smile, your wonderful husband and Scotty made my Christmas brighter and restores a bit of my faith in Humanity. Thank you Laura and Grant! Looking forward to videos on the new truck. Would like to see a video on that wheel bearing. Maybe Grant needs to watch some Vice Grip Garage youtube videos for some inspiration. Happy New Year kids!

[@patrickmoran8790]

You may find a coolant shutoff valves on hose going to the heater core. Set 413 and Set 406 wheel bearings, National 370001A wheel seal.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Nice looking semi and snowmobiles Grant and Laura

[@codyarnold5672]

Nice old truck, first thing I’d do is toss that 9 speed out and get a 18 speed and you’ll be way happier especially when hauling from the field, have way more low range selection, as for your heater issue, I’d replace all the heat valves on coolant lines to be safe, then sounds like maybe have a blend door stuck and not letting heater warm the cab, then I’d check heater motor, and control panel, shouldn’t be to bad to track down, definitely get a winter front or if you can’t find one, make one out of the oilfield bubble wrap insulation, cardboard ain’t going to do much!

[@MrCrazycook8]

Wow! What a surprise, a video for Laura on Christmas day

[@butchchastain6317]

Merry Christmas to you and Grant. Also to your families

[@alvinsterk2918]

Everyone is right check valves first if open then the heater core. Owned Peterbilts all my life

[@bay9876]

The Cabin of the Semi is a great place to chill beer. The Peterbilt must've had a work repair history on what's been done and need to do. This info is factored into the price paid. Nice kitty barn cat that is curious to see what you two dragged home this time. Cats just have to know whether it's food and it gets some too. Happy Holidays.

[@paulhall170]

Maybe the heater radiator needs flushing, if not replacing. Have a happy new year, you lovely people..

[@Buff_Dave_Oprtr]

Laura is thee prettiest farmer,Ive ever seen. Lol. Merry Christmas!

[@johnwyoder]

"Now we just need a funnel." "I have notebook paper!" Love it! Ingenuity at its finest. Merry Christmas!

You two have great patience

[@calvinhfactor4565]

Merry Christmas Laura to you and your family. 🎄🎅

[@davemyers3953]

Most all of equipment at auctions are there for a reason. Pretrip will catch alot Ii it will pass dot inspection you are pretty good to go😊

[@dylangriffith6662]

My god you are stunning Laura. So blessed with your livelihood

[@rogercarl8923]

Looking good, easy to maintain and nice enough with long wheel base. Most older trucks have a shut off for water heater, give you a grand for the truck,’!! You replace the front bearings!lol

[@randygreer5491]

Merry Christmas back to you two

[@stevealkire7626]

*Merry! Merry! Congrats on the new truck and don't get those mittens dirty....*

Merry X-mas to the both of you.

[@davidjesse5521]

Take your pogo stick off the deck plate and hang the air lines from back of cab or attach from rear

[@mjl9702]

we have a ton of snow in MN if you are up for a winter snowmobiling trip! lol

[@tonyburkhart888]

Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and both of your families! May your holidays be joyous and you have a Very Happy and Most Prosperous New Year!

Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@Mach34i]

Hi Laura and Grant wishing you and your extended families a very merry Christmas and many more. Pleaes stay safe out there.thanks for sharing farming life. I have learned alot about commercial family farms. I watch all your vids. Eli in CT.

[@kennethtomaszewski3795]

Yes, it should have a valve for the heater if it's an n14 it should be on the passenger side

[@brianbennett6978]

Merry Christmas. Some of those have a heater control valve under the passenger floorboard. Cable operated. Make sure the cable is moving.

[@brianbennett6978]

Need to add a wet line kit/ hydraulics and pto.

[@glennspreeman1634]

40 years ago, I got a call to rescue neighbors wife and baby at 2AM. 27 below with. 70mph wind. Off the chart at 100 below.

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Merry Christmas to everyone. Looks like you have plenty of toys to keep you busy through the winter. I'd work on that heater first. would probably blow out the heater core for a start. Thanks for Sharing!

[@robertbosman5398]

Mary Christmas and a awesome 2023

[@27charliee]

Merry Christmas from TEXAS!

[@8110deere]

MERRY CHRISTMAS good luck on the truck

[@tomduncan3822]

I am glad that you got the snowmobile bug. That Pete looks clean. I put thousands of miles on 88 Pete tow truck.

[@mattthomas3207]

We got hit with the same winter storm in southeast Iowa and it was bad. 50mph gusts at -10 ambient with -45 wind chills for 3 days

[@racecar021872]

That's a great motor and transmission combination. The Detroit Series 60 is a great motor, and the Eaton/Fuller 9 speed is a good transmission. Put a new wheel bearing in it and all will be good. Also the snowmobiles came with some good oil, the Amsoil Interceptor 2 Stroke Oil is some of the best 2 Stroke oil out there, if those snowmobiles have been run on that oil since new they should be good for years to come, keep using it and you should have no problems with them.

[@donwilliams3626]

You and Grant must have remained on Santa's nice list. You got more farm equipment this year! Happy Christmas and a Blessed New Year to you and yours.

[@chriss32]

Flush the heater core. Merry Christmas

[@teryjasper2454]

Depending on how long it’s been shut off the heater, core could have sediment in it, causing it to plug up

[@bryanswing135]

Glad Grant made it home without freezing 🥶 to death. That is miserable driving without heat. Also that truck used to have a sleeper on it if they didn't tell you. Should be supper lite now. Merry Christmas.

[@jeffemerson3839]

Merry Christmas 🎄☃️

Nice running recaps when a farm truck, a lot cheaper to purchase then new. But can destroy hopper trailers when they blow out to..

back in the day christmas of 83 my buddy & me were out with our snowmobiles when it was 30 below, we had handwarmers high windshields but no brains we had fun though. i got the snowmobile bug winter of 63-64, i have found no cure lol

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

[@clydebaker1857]

There are valves on the water pump and the rear of the block,to turn on the water to the heater

A 1995 Peterbilt with only 900,000 miles would be pretty good. Have you been needing a Class 8 tractor for a while? Merry Christmas!
