Peterbilt 359 cold start revealed some issues...

[@tonytrumble]

Man this makes me miss polishing day on my 99 379 I had lol when I took it over the driver never polished anything and when I took it over, i spent a weekend polishing everything, 10 rims, grill, tanks, breathers whale tail spoiler on top of the cab and all the stainless lights. The owner of the company didn't even recognize the truck when he came in when I was getting my load info from dispatch. He asked if that truck was new lol. Made me feel good that the owner of the company recognized all the work I put into it. The dispatchers told him I was in the yard all weekend polishing. Truck wasn't mine but I was assigned to it and I always take pride in my ride, he put a train horn on it and had 10" stacks with pickett elbows for it the very next weekend. He told me he appreciated me taking pride in the equipment. I loved that truck!

[@SEMICasualShow]

It sounds like you took good care of that truck! That’s awesome

[@fredschell3972]

That's a sharp truck. You can't beat old school. It has it's own personality.

[@scottycollins1829]

Stance Adjustment on the steer axle is DEFINITELY AWESOME

[@scottycollins1829]

Glad U found the issues with the turbo

[@bling1634]

[@michaeladameit1446]

Man I hope yall put a front air ride so she can be sitting on the floor man I love when they are slammed to the ground such a beautiful truck you got

[@scottycollins1829]

24.5 polished wheels are SO MUCH C😎😎LER

[@deandauner3255]

Get a stop to mount on the top of the spring to hit on the frame and save the oil pan.

[@JayDoebler]

Beautiful tractor 🇺🇲❤️💯👍😎

[@Marriedtruckingandkids]

Would love to own that 359 and be working it daily. Nice old school ride. Diggin it

[@scottycollins1829]

Will U add an new polished exhaust manifold also for the 359

[@77RB77]

Love the Butternut videos you should maybe paint the engine before you swap turbos. Just a thought. Love the truck congrats on getting it.

[@DennisMurtha-eg7ld]

Looking good😊😊😊😊🎉

[@raywilson800]

Cool❤

[@jamesanderson5243]

LEGENDARY BROWN 😅😅😅

[@pauldoubler7600]

I did not notice that you put any ISO vibration stripping between the mirror brackets and the door frame. If you didn't believe me you'll find out whenever you go to back in somewhere.

[@SEMICasualShow]

That is a good point! Might addd that if it becomes an issue.

[@vinbags]

That truck is sweet...you should bag the front and drop it down...

[@derylsanders307]

Super cool

[@paulcallen6129]

Might have a little bump-steer without a wedge under those leaf springs. Just a little fyi... Very cool truck.

[@SEMICasualShow]

We put 4° wedges in it 👍

[@paulcallen6129]

@SEMICasualShow oh, perfect! I couldn't see it in there... I already made that mistake on my 359- lol

[@thomaslangton4141]

Show inside the sleeper!...great job so far

[@SEMICasualShow]

We'll get some more shots of the sleeper in an upcoming video.

[@arrowkart4j]

I’m so in love with this truck..Brian please tell me you’re gonna replace that fuel tank that has a dent in it. 🙏🏁🇺🇸

[@SEMICasualShow]

It is definitely on the list of things to fix.

[@familytraditiontransportat7951]

​@@SEMICasualShowI have a used tank off my 359 if you're looking for a used one. I put new on my 84, can't toss good parts...

[@dougnorton5143]

From Butternutt to Buttercupp

[@RickeyHuff-h2g]

Hey guys, is the black and red frame trk for sale ?

[@DarrellJenkins-d5o]

Ever think about putting 4 horns on the roof instead of two?

[@Mystic-l3r]

Is the door glass staying or updating to ventless

[@SEMICasualShow]

Going to keep the door glass the way it is.

[@johnhale9892]

Brian, in my opinion, you should restore Ole Butternut, give it some new lipstick, and turn Ricky loose on redoing The Trucking Man, and other artwork. It'll be the Semi Casual show truck.

[@wildwilliesadventures]

Why not bag the front end?

[@SEMICasualShow]

That might happen later on. Really need to find a 5in drop axle before we bag the front end.

[@glennoliphint8691]

Get rid of the stupid looking aircleaners and put either the big stainless steel aircleaners or paint the big stainless steel aircleaners and leave the bands polished and the tops and screens polished or put the steel aircleaners painted with polished or chrome bands with chrome bonnets. But those aircleaners are Freightliner aircleaners and i won't tell you how they make the truck and the truck and owner look because there maybe individuals that would take offense to it.

[@MikeInBendOregon]

Lookin good Brian. I think you loosened the clamps on the turbo so you would have an excuse to get the shiny new turbo LOL... Do you know about how many ponies you will gain after you switch turbos, and do some tweaking on the fuel pump ? How many are you hoping for ? I hate polishing mirrors. They were never polished good when the truck was new, but it does make them look a lot nicer.

[@SEMICasualShow]

Not sure on the HP, don’t really have a target number in that regard.

[@Jrs-tl4kk]

Horsepower is only as good as the person controlling it, if you dont know what you're doing which alot of people dont, you can destroy an entire power train real quick.

[@jeffbronowicz3264]

Yep I you can have all the hp you want it's torque that takes over , driving a cat is totally different than a Cummins or Detroit!

[@Jrs-tl4kk]

@jeffbronowicz3264 I'm aware I drive a 750hp 7cz cat with 2250ftlb clutch daily, completely different animal than a mechanical cat, detroit, or cummins

[@jeffbronowicz3264]

@Jrs-tl4kk 10-4 nothing like a cat!

[@jeffbronowicz3264]

2ws and 5ek here both turned up both Pete gliders!

[@Jrs-tl4kk]

@jeffbronowicz3264 yeah I've driven some old cabovers with big cam's in them, and my uncles 359 has a 318 detroit in it, the only detroit I've ever driven, and the cabovers are the only cummins I've driven, the rest of my 23 years of driving have been Cats. My first truck that I bought was a 94 t600 with a 5ek cat, 13 spd 3.70 rears, ran that for about 4 years, and then bought my current truck from my grandpa 03 379 exhd, 7cz cat, 18spd, 3.70 rears, 300" factory wheelbase with Canadian 60" spaced rear axles, black sapphire is the color of the truck, American class interior, back in the day it was top of the line, and even now it's a very nice truck, I'll run it until they outlaw it in my state, then probably retire, too much BS out here anymore

[@CDJCBMWOGJRIOGUFHDFLM]

Hey what’s up bros how y’all doing much love

[@stevencaka]

You guys should’ve had that center piece of the hood polished out as well. Just sayin’

[@grumpbrewer5893]

You need some quilted fender guards on the front

[@joehelbok8184]

I would give it a new paint job same color and hand paint the lettering on the doors the old girl deserves to be brought back to her Glory Days

[@scottycollins1829]

Everything OLD SCH💎💎L is DEFINITELY BETTER & AWESOME

[@TheRedpete379]

What are you doing with butternut are you selling it

[@bush600r2]

Shame you lowered it. It's a old school rig why would you do that. I don't understand the obsession with guys lowering them right down.

[@SEMICasualShow]

Just want the front to sit at the same height or a little lower then the rear.

[@jeffmorrow245]

I agree the lowering of the front ends has gotten out of hand. Just a personal opinion.

[@TimIvins]

Diesels don't like to be cold started in the middle of winter

[@familytraditiontransportat7951]

My B model starts just fine. Even in the recent single digit temps. Wasn't super thrilled but no spray or block heater needed...
