WILL IT START? CAT C13! Duke Caboom episode 8

[@RobertForslund]

Amazing job there getting her to rumble again! 😁 When she kicked off I got real happy, it's such a nice thing to see a rebuilt engine hop to life again! 😛👍 Can't wait to see the next video, it'll be sweet to see her completely put back together! 🙂

[@simonmaclennan1898]

All the blood, sweat and tears was overcome with shouts of joy and the roar of the cat. Well done Mike.

Congrats on the engine start Mikey! You’ve overcome a lot of variables and roadblocks and shown great patience. Good for you!

[@wendellhagg3511]

Happy, happy, happy for You !! Sounds Awesome Amazing !! Enjoyed this Video !! H.

[@davidlastoria3341]

All those old coolant hoses, never throw them away. Instead, cut them into the needed length, than slice that piece lengthways and put it over the new hose to protect the new hose from future rubbing against whatever. Than use cable ties to hold them in place. When I buy a new truck I will spend hours doing this, and making sure that all clamps are snug. So glad that you got it running. I absolutely love the factory blue on the frame rails.

[@randyphenicie4322]

GREAT JOB MIKE. 👍 Party time. Your the MAN

[@craigb8145]

Can't wait hear the kitty purr after all the hard work but you did a great job love your videos

[@garystrand7147]

Mike you done good. Hopefully you get the wood shed filled up. Looking forward to seeing Stubby or Smoky get worked on soon.

[@Realdamage]

First, you need at least a 200 gallon (757 liter) fuel tank so you can fuel up at home. Second, I know just how you feel. I have been working on my own engine replacement, granted it was a 2 cylinder diesel in a small tractor, but after building a new exhaust and then trouble shooting the ground connections it still wouldn't start. I tracked it down to some critter chewed wires. Just this last Tuesday, in my outdoor shop, I patched the wires, turned the key, and it turned over, and then with a little adjustment it came to life. Hey, not bad for a first time. So, yeah. I'm glad you got to experience what a lot of us probably do when we bring them back from the dead. Cheers

[@GenAfterNextTactics]

Congrats dude! That’s a pretty big accomplishment. Especially for a guy who’s primarily a salesman.

[@MrAmartins72]

It's very interesting view a salesman working like pro mechanic. Queep going whit the job. 💪💪 Cheers from Portugual.

[@tommyhall2768]

You done a great job. Buddy I knew you could do it see you soon

[@dannyv2335]

So happy for you Mike. That’s gotta be such a great feeling

[@mikethetrucknut]

Lol yeah, I instantly thought the worst. 🤦‍♂️

[@leroymickle2998]

Hell of a job there Mike, proud to know that if a guy that doesn't build engine and not a heavy-duty mechanic can do it, well hell I'm going to give it a go myself, nice job again Mike nice job.

The main work is done and she's now a runner. You might still need to make some minor adjustments but you're definitely at the top of the hill with Duke.

Congratulations on the huge achievement you bring up the confidence that anyone can do this and it was a wild journey to watch and very enjoyable cheers from New Brunswick!!

Super exited for you Mike. I don't know which was better. The truck starting or your reaction when the truck started. I think your reaction. Fantastic job.

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Mike Duke sounds great. When you drove out of the shop and it started acting up figured all the fuel went to the front of the tanks and you ran out of fuel. Glad to see Duke moving under it's own power. Congratulations on all the hard work with putting Duke engine back together stay safe Mike.
