[@JamesPretty]

Thanks 👍 brother

[@darrencatenacci2737]

Truck X is a runner! Not surprised that coolant tube was rusted so bad. But it’s great it runs. Wonder if someone plugged the fuel return line thinking it would give them more power. I started watching quite a while ago. But just got done with my day. Stay safe guys

[@madcowmark7129]

😊Cheers, James, I'm late, but I'm here. I once ordered something from a place 10 minutes from me. After 3 days, I checked the tracking, and the package was in Perth, on the other side of Australia. Australia Post.

Mornin James ! During my career I've've driven all the truck brands. Don't really know why but Freightliner is still my favorite truck brand. Goodluck with truck X !

[@JamesPretty]

Thanks nick. I love freightliner

[@NickManCuso59]

@@JamesPretty You're welcome sir. Keep up the good work !

[@williamfrench65]

I have had both shoulders repaired one was severe the other not so much. Physical therapy is the most important for the recovery and time. You definitely don't want to push it real hard afterwards.

[@JamesPretty]

appreciate ya

[@goatranchgaming2922]

One thing you should know about Truck Dealers and engine dealers is you seem to have to triple confirm everything . Just because you talked about doing the thing twice does not mean they will do the things if you have it in for another reason . Make you get the bill at the end and you look at it going dam thats was cheaper than I thought then a week or two later and you find out they did not fix/service that item you talked about .

[@JamesPretty]

thats for sure .. appreciate ya

X is looking good and love to hear that Cat purr. Get a trans, some exhaust, fuel pump returning, and some tires and off the road ya go. Are you gonna pull the stainless panels and lights off the side of the cab?? IMO you should, because it will be a pain and a big expense to replace all those lights

[@JamesPretty]

Not 100% sure. But I get my lights from partsam so they are inexpensive

[@mintyman1968]

@@JamesPretty Yep. PS - if you run any of these OTR any day, the DOT will get you if you have a lot of extra lights and have 1 out. If you have no panel lights you aren’t a risk of getting a ticket for them!

[@johnbird2703]

Think all the lights on it are cool, I’m looking forward to see it all lit up!

[@robertdunning584]

James question for ya why fill it with water that you later have to drain and deal with the mess. Why not air lift that way you can find leaks. ?

[@JamesPretty]

not sure what you mean by air lift

[@jasondudley362]

That Peachstate freight liner one of there dealerships is by my shop only have heard bad things about them my c5500 GMC top kick I called asked about a alignment was gonna call back never did just got the run around

James one step closer to X being roadworthy.

rusted off

That's mind boggling that fuel isn't coming out of the return. Is there a shut off somewhere stopping it?

Hey driver! I've had run a round for parts as well, truck sounds really good! Also curious after watching all your videos working on trucks, did u go to diesel school or learn as you go? Can't wait to see truck finished. Keep up the great work and videos! 10-4 driver im gone

[@JamesPretty]

I did not go to diesel school. I have a good mechanical reasoning and I just try stuff and learn from my mistakes and from others.
