Orwell Needs New Rear Suspension! Peterbilt Air Leaf

[@mayhemsmaster5050]

I enjoy the road time... but I reaaly love watching you and Christ working on, repairing, upgrading Orwell, Lazarus, and now Elaine. Its as if the two of you have known one another for years, and worked tofether as long. You both make a very oiled machine, while shooting the breeze with an abundance of humor... unlike the bickering and drama of far too many shops. Im praying that this will be an enduring partnership and friendship for many years to come.🙏💜

They guy shows up to the job interview in a Scat Pack Durango. Rolls up ready to work in a Duallie with a toyhauler and a RzR. I'd say he's cut from the same cloth.

That was a good video about the maintenance of Orwell. I definitely think it's worth every dime you spend to keep him on the road. And having Chris there to take on jobs when you're driving is a good move. Soon you will have a fleet and then more possiblities to make interesting content and grow your channel hopefully into millions of subscribers.

[@fsctrucking]

We're trying our best!

[@TimIvins]

Good evening Steve & Chris, hows everything going? Its good to see shop work aswell as road time, I like how u mix everything up

[@jamescarbajal878]

I've been driving since 1985 but these days I spend my time as a Yard Jockey. Watching your videos allows me to enjoy being on the road again. You do a terrific job and I really love this channel, Thank you for what you do

[@josephbaker677]

Watching you service your truck. I was 14 / 15 years old and I did all my uncles service`s . Lube refiner change out. fuel filters, etc: Engine oil change out.. Cab clean out. Sheets and blankets. Vacuum and wipe down . I Could do a full turn around in less than 24 hrs. Then he was gone again.... Rollin coal and sparks. I`d cry a little, After the soot drifted away. Then he would go away to do some drinking. Then back to 13 weeks of trucking heavy haul. #flyinghamburger. # 157

[@stansdds]

I cannot believe that there is controversy over pre-filling an oil filter, but evidently there is. When I was doing my own oil changes, I always filled the oil filter with fresh oil before installing it, it just made sense to not have the engine running and the oil pump has to fill the filter before the oil starts circulating. But there are plenty of people who swear that pre-filling the oil filter will ruin an engine because the oil you put into the filter has not been passed through the filter. My response to that is that if your new oil has that much debris in it, you need to switch to a different brand of oil. Chris is a real asset to your operation. He has a great work ethic and he has experience.

[@MA-iv7ol]

I do my own maintenance on all of my vehicles and I've been pre-filling oil filters for years and still do it. I've never had issues with any of my vehicles because of it, Id rather have a filter filled with oil on first start after an oil change than a dry one. People are always going to say their way is better blah, blah blah. I'll do things my way (the right way) and they can do things their way. Half the people starting these controversies probably never turned a wrench in their lives, internet arm chair mechanics.

[@vicpetrishak7705]

If you fill the oil filter fill the oil holes on the outside diameter of the filter , 3/4 full is enough .

[@Highgear145]

Lol!!! Controversy over oil?? Hell there are people that think men can give birth so it doesn't surprise me

[@stuartroland9605]

Preventive maintenance,keeps the rig rolling .Nice work to the two of you.🤩🤩👍👍.

[@henrychin3474]

Love this kind of content Steve good time to put a set of mud flaps on as well

Yeah much needed mud flaps

Great change of pace video! Orwell is feeling pampered! 🤩🥂🎉

[@neilmcintosh1200]

Soon have Orwell earning again. Sounds like Elaine or Lazarus won't be all that far behind. Yes, I know that Lazarus is a monstrous task, but you guys are well up to it.

[@TruthAlways59]

Excellent wrenching, thank you for sharing!

[@thefatman1970]

Orwell earned his spa day

[@scrappyhustler7467]

Excellent work, gentleman, the content, the commentary, and the sequence of footage is par with the pro filmers and, most importantly, no fake people real world blue collar human beings!

[@grizzworld]

That is what it takes to keep Orwell running, a good job Well done !👍

[@elijames3041]

Be careful Steve

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

Orwell deffently needed some maintenance. Things Weare out things break & fluids need changing. All part of it. Thank you for the video Steve

Let’s push those buttons and grind those gears!!!

[@Andrew-ep4kw]

Great stuff! I've been watching rainman ray's repairs, a guy who runs an auto repair shop down in Florida, for a while, and learned a lot about repairing cars. Now, I don't think I'll ever own a truck, but it's really interesting to see what it takes to fix these vehicles.

[@producerk8247]

Tell Papa Smurf that he needs to go back to the salon and get the left side redone to match the right. And don't worry, 2nd shift will take care of the shop work while he's out. 🤣

[@petera.laceysr.28]

Hi Steve & Chris I love that u guys r working great together today I always like ur trucking videos & ur shop videos I would love to see step deck trailer completed with all the rear axles & boards on it ready to go to work hauling freight behind Orwell or Elaine when she ready for the road & Dot ready ❤ ur subscriber Peter A from SC

[@AndrewJackson-mf5qp]

I run, Power Up, in my oil and it lubes the cylinder walls for those starts where there may not be a lot of oil still clinging. A lot of truck operators use it down this way to give equipement more life. It's available for Engines, Gearboxes and Hydraulics. I don't know under what name it is in your country but someone will know. I swear by the stuff as it conditions seals as well.

[@TimIvins]

Between u, Tim, & Chad r about the only ones I see that keep up the maintance on ur stuff

[@danielseelye6005]

I've been enjoying the look of "Frankenstein's" new paint job. Chad did pretty good for out in the elements.

[@doherty2jz845]

Orwell from 84-24 is a cool truck. To see working still.

When Orwell was built peterbuolt should've put grease fittings in that suspension

Your undercarriage needs a hotsy to it. All that dirt and oil adds weight. And you benefit from knowing if your diff's are leaking, or any other seals. I know the diff's shouldn't be leaking yet. That bushing pin was definitely shot, wow!

[@NightStalkers-hx3dq]

Work fascinates me. I can watch it for hours. Doesn't oil enter the filter through the holes on the perimeter of the filter and exit through the center? Which might mean....

[@keithewald9707]

I was told the cat filters are to fine of microns for fuel filters not sure how true that is. We always use fleet guard

I can tell you from experience they filter more out of the fuel. But because of that they plug up faster.

Hey Steve ever thought of putting automatic transmission fluid in your filters when changing them... Dad always had me do it because he said it would lube the injectors... I personally don't know for sure but it made sense....

Also old trick Pour a quart into each tank. DOT throw a fit though. Until you share video of the service.
