Duke Caboom gets a second air cleaner. part 2.

[@robertbarenthin8993]

Good job thanks for letting us watch. I like your humor during the work you sure make it fun to watch

[@chriswilkin2112]

She's looking good Mike, one smart waggon. 👍👍👍

[@krisduyshaver]

she looks good! I like the dual breathers. maybe the tanks under the sleeper and a toolbox and batterybox under the cab... 😀 Great work Mike!

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Mike Duke is looking good. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Mike.

[@ericsugalsku1826]

YES lazy kids ! I love your trucks Mike . The dual breathers made the truck . Its a clean unit that I would love to own .

[@nicholasbrowett6806]

you are so right about the kid's! Tough love doesn't work nowadays they just think you hate them..🤔

[@randyphenicie4322]

She looking very good Mike! You done a nice job bringing it Duke back to life.

[@smokeyhunterparrot]

Nice job Mike. Looks WAY better with the new LED's out front.

[@lornperkins4270]

Mike the l.e.d. headlights are nice but make sure that you get the type with the heating elements in them because they will melt the ice that builds up on them.

[@CVO_GUY]

I personally would like the marker lights to match your other lights. I would also go a step further and see if I could get small clear lenses that are attached to the outside mirrors. Now if this isn't enough, I'd also get black cable wraps to replace the white cable wraps on the black wiper arms. Thanks for the video Mike!

[@russelltrupia4479]

My favorite truck of your fleet just keeps getting better. Awesome job I really like the direction you are going with the Duke.👍👍

[@Blacksheep1968]

Looking good. A good addition to the fleet. Looking forward to the K2 build

[@mikethetrucknut]

You and me both!

[@dandersonjr]

Those turn signals are a huge improvement and I like the second air cleaner even if it's not functional. Those rivit nuts as you call them we call them nut serts are better to install if you use a wrench or socket and ratchet instead of an impact gun since you cam feel when they're snug and you won't strip them out as easy.

[@sporttruck5103]

Duke looks better all the time with every mod you do Mike. Double air breathers look really good. Even if you sometimes get them both working. I'm already waiting for the video when you make the necessary holes in the cabin and the connecting pipe. The skirts for the sleeper and the cabin also improve the appearance a lot. You should also make cover plates between the hood and the fuel tanks. Keep up the great work, I always enjoy watching your videos Mike 😎

[@donaldoyler2092]

It looks nice with the new add on.

[@davidsimons6881]

Put aluminum on the front Mike and leave the white two holes on the back. Looking good.

[@donaldwatson6342]

2 things on your wire connections. First the wires have a clockwise twist from the manufacturer, which means you should hold the wire in left hand and twist forward with your right. Reverse twisting of the wire causes hotspots and mskes the wire brittle and weak. Second get rid of the flame to shrink the sleeves and get a heat gun from your hardware store that gets to 800 degrees Fahrenheit ( 427 celsius)

[@dougr8594]

Heck it’s coming together. Them cab skirts are a no go, they just don’t look right. Move the tanks and put steps with the right skirts. As a work truck person tanks are handy under the doors, as a show/toy truck it needs steps. Awesome job, enjoy the average joe feel you do building these trucks Mike.

[@adrianpearl8271]

Definitely clear lights all round orange ones look intrusive 👍very nice looking truck

[@ED-ti5tc]

Old girl is looking good!

[@BobBob-sm3sn]

Hello Mike.. he's starting to look good 👍.. you must be knackered after the move...

[@mikethetrucknut]

Very!

[@davep9199]

Duke is my favorite and I would have done the same with the second air cleaner

[@treeman3663]

A big stonking alloy bull bar on the front

[@richardgreenlaw1442]

Those side skirts look great, lighted ones look even better.

[@mikethetrucknut]

The price was right on these ones. I want to do underglow along the.

[@kennylovettshow]

If you're going with clear signal lights, then the other lights need to be clear lens as well. Also, change out the steel wheels to aluminum and get them polished up. A drop viser would look good.

[@jeffrey9882]

Duke is looking sweet! Nice job Mike! The other air breather makes the look. Polish the tanks, I would paint the rims blue with chrome accented lug covers and caps, And maybe a blue pin stripe with a flare of some type. A bigger visor would be a plus?

[@mikethetrucknut]

Yeah it definitely needs a visor

[@ruanecrummett9261]

Clear looks great 👍

[@Retired88M]

Oh one other thing; the sides of the old OEM turn signals had reflectors built in and you need them if coming to the states or something similar

[@tommyhall2768]

Hey buddy good to see you again good luck

[@LargeCarLife]

Looks great!

[@craigwalker6513]

Chrome will get ya home.. Looking good.

[@jimshafer3101]

Truck is coming along real nice, i noticed when you put on the bracket to hold the air intake, the holes for lights are to the front on the passenger side and to the back on the driver's side

[@mikethetrucknut]

Dough I guess I need to flip one over

[@diesel4508]

Duke looks like the best shape truck.

[@mikethetrucknut]

It really is

[@jonathanwilliams4501]

They make riv nuts that you use a crimping tool with, I have one that does riv nuts and pop rivets using different dies...you pull the handles out and it draws the center in and pulls the crimp in the riv nut

[@mikethetrucknut]

Yeah, I should buy one one day

[@treeman3663]

Looks awsum mike your blinkers would look better orange

[@lawrenceveinotte]

So funny, from the time i could walk almost i spent time in truck garages, getting yelled at for watching welding, and when i was older Saturday morning was when we beat tires apart..lol

[@archiemeche535]

Lights in air breathers and on the crome you just put on sure look good to

[@timmartin6106]

Duke is looking good I hope you are going take them steel wheels off and put the shiny ones on

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Duke is stylin!!

[@michaelhall3568]

Good video Mike

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

All work good too!!

[@jeffherdz]

Duke is looking great. But you really need to get your Nephew in and Blast those tanks. And maybe shine up that front grill border area.

[@mikethetrucknut]

Yeah they are really looking blah

[@adamtheede2575]

a little dab of never seize helps to prevent galling and sometimes impacts booger them up quick as well bit of learning curve with them

[@Anti-Static_Matt]

Duke looks awesome Mike, nice job

[@mikethetrucknut]

Thanks 👍

[@jda72]

Looking good Mike of course it's a Pete and they always look good personally I like the short hood Pete's.

[@leroymickle2998]

It is looking very good though Mike, great job on Duke.

[@mikethetrucknut]

Thanks 👍

[@treeman3663]

Duke is becoming a show truck

[@petergriffin6126]

Yep, your cheat-sheet looks more similar to one in the passenger side.. 😊

[@hammers1518]

Yes, air can lights. Check out what Ezrider359 bought for his 359.

[@philipcollins5440]

P M, your 🚒 is looking fine. It's worth the many hours.

[@billylizza7154]

Peterbilt Mike hope you can get That Air Cleaner On duke Ok Love All Those videos Keep up the good 👍 work Billy Lizza Uniontown pa USA

[@mikethetrucknut]

Thanks 👍

[@nostreamavailable9090]

Im not an expert on North American trucks, it was my lifelong love of american cars that led me to loving the trucks too, but to my untrained eyes duke looks just as cool to me as a 389 or any of the more popular models, in fact l would say if you were to graft on some 359/379 lights onto duke l think easily as good as the 359/379 et al . Is that a conversion you could consider mike ? Best wishes from the north west of England and god bless you and yours Jay 🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇨🇦

[@christramontana3598]

You should get some side skirts with the lights in them but it's looking clean

[@lawrencepevitts2434]

How far is it between your old house and the new house? That's how they used to wake us up in the Navy with the drop your socks thing.

[@dwightcorbett8889]

Hey Mike, just out of curiosity, I've noticed that some newer Pete trucks don't have the traditional red badge but sometimes black or other colors. Are those available to order from the factory or are they an aftermarket item?

[@mikethetrucknut]

They are aftermarket, you can buy decals or what we do is paint them to color match then add the customers logo or pete logo with decal and clear coat over that.

[@tonyborello3826]

Hi Mike was watching you work I noticed they put that aid dryer in a bad place looks like you have to remove it to service it no fun on a cold day

[@martinf8508]

Hi Mike! Greetings from South Wales again!

[@chrisbyers386]

Looks good might I suggest a uni bit or called step bit

[@leroymickle2998]

You know Mike, with all that your doing to Duke, I think it would look so much better with a drop visor and Aluminum wheels as well. It would really look sharp.

[@mikethetrucknut]

Yes it definitely needs a drop visor

[@cfnevada]

I can’t clean up my tools at the end of the day. I leave mine out so I can start right back where I left off. When my dad comes in the shop he hates it 😂

[@lewiscates3724]

Your right side has a light bracket and your left side doesn’t makes it look 👀 off you used the bracket for checking the placement of the holes you drilled I’d put that bracket on then add some lights just a penny for thought but you got the truck looking good

[@JamesPretty]

polished tanks aluminum wheels and a real sleeper.

[@Retired88M]

I think before you put anymore shiny stuff on it you need to machine polish your radiator shell and fuel tanks

[@onebadbirdy]

would of kept the truck with front chrome wheels as i left the back ones in white

[@kymw7833]

Mike the Duke is looking nasty some polished wheels and the best truck in the collection ,still have a soft spot for Kenny he was the first time I watched your channel,when you and your Dad and friends got Kenny started and moving ,I remember thinking who are these people ,but I haven't missed a video since ,I'm hooked Mate your a funny bugger you still have the quality off not taking yourself to seriously and having a good laugh ,oh and I gotta know why do you Americans ,oops and Canadians call Solder Sodder why do you drop the LLL hmmmm or is that how it is spelled on your side of the planet ,great episode mate waiting for the next Cheers Kym Adelaide

[@stanleybaker8707]

So have you decided what color each truck is going to be yet or no?.

[@mikethetrucknut]

Not yet

[@hammers1518]

The passenger air can bracket has the four holes for bracket lights. Is the driver side bracket on backwards??? Asking for a friend!!!!

[@cindymuzzy4928]

I noticed that too.

[@mikethetrucknut]

I can't believe I missed seeing that. I know I was looking at it from the front and thinking something is different. But I think I was so focused on the top and how it looked I completely missed it 🤦‍♂️ I'll be fixing that

Some things you should do by hand so you can feel whats going on

What are your thoughts on lighted bumper sticks? I think they would look pretty good!

[@mikethetrucknut]

Idno, not a priority right now

[@bigguy5155]

my opinion you should keep the cab lights as is gotta keep something from the past on it

[@mikethetrucknut]

Yeah I like the square amber

[@greghicks7532]

Where did you get the peterbilt air cleaner and how much was it

[@mikethetrucknut]

Peterbilt dealer i think it was 1500

[@petergriffin6126]

Jep, led headlights are superior on those dark nights…

[@bryansuperduke1290r]

You need longer bolt to screw it all the way in doing it that way.

[@PUB_Josh76]

Please make some Mount Truckmore T-shirts. 😁

[@alpharaptor7510]

If every other light is going to be LED. Why not the headlights?. The standard headlights make it look outdated

[@mikethetrucknut]

The former owner had wanted to keep them. So I wanted to honor it and send them back to him

[@RobertForslund]

To be fair, kids has always been lazy, especially teenagers! I was that way, and now I complain about the kids the same way as my mom and pop did! Back then I couldn't understand their stupid 'nagging' but now, as an adult, I know exactly why they did! Then there's obvious a line you have to draw, and set boundaries but that's a discussion for another time! 😁 I bet your kids would help you out if you asked nicely and bribe them worse than a politician! 😉😄

[@nickpanda9322]

Your next truck should be a 359X or a 379X
