Peterbilt 359 rebuild ep 43 - how fast are we going?

[@blindfreddy]

Nearly midnight here in Australia, just about to go to bed. Saw this come up, gotta stay up a little bit longer now .....

[@alpharaptor7510]

I’m used to staying up late I always stay awake when I’m with my dad in the truck

[@prevost8686]

You’re going to have Old Red so fancy that you won’t want to get her dirty.😁

[@cobraspottedwolf8791]

I'm not much of a mechanic but I have lots of respect for mechanics. Especially after watching your videos. I have learned so much from watching your videos!

[@funonutube100]

Ezra is there anything you can't do on a semi???? Engine work, transmission, transfer case, suspension, steering, rear end , frame stretch, body, paint , interior, chrome, electrical, wheels tire, aluminum polish,. You sir are one hell of a fine technician. I remember what a POS that Pete was when you first purchased it . You have turned a sows ear into a silk purse. Much respect for you dude. Wish we could have a few beers together and shoot the shit about trucking.

[@Ezrider359]

When you buy a old rotting truck and actually want to use it again basically every nut and bolt gets touched before it's ready for the road again

[@TwinStix]

Haha I can’t put water in mine to look for leaks 🤣 nice work as always👍

[@Ezrider359]

🤣 yeah probably not. I just hope the heat doesn't go out in the shop before I get it flushed and refilled. Supposed to be -20f tomorrow

[@philipbarr9481]

The progress of this project has been nothing less than amazing man. You are awesome 👏

[@Dave-1277]

As always, another excellent video of Ol' Red and Ezra! Nice work man, be safe brother!

[@thomaslittle4887]

Love old iron I have a 1987 peterbilt starting on my own project. You give me great inspiration

[@fabianbuentello5694]

What we do is definitely a dying breed. They don't make us no more. From sun up to sun down all I do is turn wrenches. I bet if we sat down we would tell stories for days. Look forward to seeing more videos from you. Keep up the good work. P.S. I'm also a barber 💈 on Saturdays. A little advice, buzz your hair on the sides ( half or zero) and you will look and feel like in your 20's again- trust me!

[@Ezrider359]

it was -23*f outside today ill take as much hair as I can grow this time of the year...lol try to keep it pretty short in the summer.

[@JasonBristow2003]

It's so nice how simple it is to work on old trucks. With newer trucks, it would take an eternity just to remove the old speedometer, not to mention putting the new one in.

[@w4cky7]

I always thought gps had to have line of sight, like mounted up in a corner of the window or something. Today I learned!

[@Ezrider359]

As long as it's not behind metal should be ok. It's possible I might have to move it but hard to say yet

[@colestroud8300]

Hey! It's an automatic.... for now. On a serious note, it's nice to see someone breathing new life into old iron. Someone that knows what they are doing. That is doing it right, not half-ass.

[@jasonharris4926]

Still am so in love with this project. Your a badass mechanic/ and driver sir. Wouldn’t mind seeing you make a driving video in that sweet 359 when your done. Great stuff!

[@rickbarger5161]

I sure like that old Peterbilt brings back memories for me I had a 74 Peterbilt back in 78 hit a lot of damn fun in that truck cross country and back so many times thanks a lot for your videos really cool

[@kman-mi7su]

Thanks for bringing us along as you breathe new life into an old road warrior. Next truck, "Ezrider359 resurrects a 1978 Mack Superliner 500hp V8 back from the dead and back to earning" LOL that would be cool.

[@WayneDKeene]

Dude I love what you are doing and enjoy watching it. Brings back memories of me working with my uncle on his 359.

[@spottedhoss1920]

Great video, I wondered how to change from the old style speedo's to the new electronic, I learned something new today

[@Forsaken_Angel_of_Darkness]

Getting closer to her maiden voyage. Good job as always

[@johnshelton6722]

liking the gps speedo ,a lot of street mechanics go get there cars mapped and then a new clutch usually follows,another good vlog ezra and old reds looking fine.

[@ericcorse]

Looking forward to the transmission install.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

new transmission, new clutch, new flywheel...you are doing her up good for sure. i have always been concerned about the gps speedometers in cloudy weather or with heavy snow failing. will be interesting to see how it works for you.

[@Ezrider359]

Yeah I'm hopeful it will work out the GPS speedometer was pretty inexpensive so I think it's worth a shot. In my limited testing driving around in my pickup no issues was a cloudy day and drove downtown around some taller buildings and didn't loose signal.

[@leroymorris6036]

Very interesting restore, love that truck...

[@justinkorpela7955]

Good job as always ezra I like how you do things right the first time and you have made old red look absolutely beautiful great work

[@mwilliams8288]

That’s pretty cool. Never saw a gps speedometer. Thanks for sharing.

[@fordy2604]

Nice one mate the truck is gonna be brilliant. Exelent work again. Regards from south London England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@joemascioni3101]

I put a GPS speedo in my 04 Pete, put the antenna on the windshield with double sided 3m tape. Then installed an outlaw drop visor...No more GPS speedo...lol. Visor blocked the signal. Had to end up mounting the antenna out on the cowl in front of the windshield, wire wasn't long enough to go anywhere else.

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Red 359 peterbilt looking great can't wait to see the the other transmission catch ya on the next one

She is looking good nice job so far.

Great job as usual Ezra , have a good weekend from Spain 🇪🇸

[@wayneshancock2520]

This was a good one Bro , it somehow popped up as a suggestion so I watched it again. We have a guy out here in Mass who has a channel called "The Boston Trucker" , figured I'd pass that on to ya. Keep em comin. Wayne.

The new speedometer looks sharp in the truck Nice job👍🏼

I can smell the diesel fuel now, that first load is getting close!!!

Just a tip...the GPS antenna should go in the mirror outside or in top of the cab outside for better signal

[@brucehodges7889]

More progress! Great vid, you make everything look so easy. Thanks for explaining the butt splices, I never knew there were fancy ones available... I see one thing might be problematic with the new speedo...it only goes up to 80...

[@Ezrider359]

80 is fast enough

[@bigtsplace5453]

Thanks for the videos long time subscriber watched you go from nothing to this fine piece of history I’m currently building a b model w900 and am doing the same speedo for the same reasons hopefully get a glimpse of it working before i put mine in

[@paulog8813]

And just like that, Old Red is a brand new rig with only 11 miles on it. Very, very low mileage truck. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Ezrider359]

well the old odo was showing over 900k so it was soon to be 0 again anyway probably been rolled over at least once before too...lol

I’ve been thinking of the gps Speedo on one my trucks that the speedo works when it wants now thanks for the overview Ezra and as always made my Saturday morning

[@Ezrider359]

No problem 👍

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day bloody neat gauge!! John

[@synt4x.93]

good work

[@familytraditiontransportat7951]

I'm sure you're long past putting it back together but you should change the clutch linkage bushings while the trans is out of the way. They get pretty neglected and then your clutch pedal is egging out the hole they the floor and you get that awesome side to side play in the pedal - always fun. Dans shop has the kit

[@Ezrider359]

Already done 👍

[@sodapop8408]

Change one might as well change them all great thinking 👍👍👍

[@firstcomment2801]

Spark plugs look clean.

[@edwarddavis507]

I like the gps speedometer! I didn’t know they made them. Probably won’t work in tunnels unless it has blue tooth but it should keep relatively accurate odometer readings. Truck looks so nice. I love the chrome heater unit housing. Goes nice with all the other shine.

[@Ezrider359]

Yeah I'm sure it would loose signal in a tunnel but I don't drive threw many tunnels. Time will tell if it's problematic or not

[@tossedsalad5532]

You sir are a one man wrecking crew of getting jobs done. your abilities rank as the best on KZbin for a 1 man operation. Are you a license HD mechanic or Bodyman you could be a instructor for everyone

[@Ezrider359]

No I'm no professional wrench what I don't know I figure out. At the end of the day it's just nuts and bolts

[@tossedsalad5532]

[@mattberg916]

That's a pretty cool tech upgrade! Hopefully you show us the rear main seal, flywheel and trans swap. Stay warm out there, we're at 0 for the next week in north west Indiana

[@Ezrider359]

rear main will be in the trans swap video.

[@devinrussell2372]

The next step after you get the reman transmission installed,is to upgrade all the dash lights;replacing all the old incandescent dash lights,with modern LED dash lights to match the blue color of the guage light;inside the new GPS speedometer guage.Twin Sticks Garage just recently replaced all the old incandescent dash lights in Little By Little with LEDs.

[@Ezrider359]

Iv got new LED bulbs to go in just haven't gotten to it yet

[@d.springer8444]

Man it’s getting closer 👍🏻

[@ncut5547]

1 more step closer to the big day ...good idea pressure testing coolant system and fixing that rear hose ..will the drive yoke flange go onto the 18spd from old box ..keep em coming awesome job.

[@superliner19]

I've used two those gps speeds on two projects got the odd glitch but for the most part they work great and accurate too,although the instructions on mine wanted the gps unit on the dash or close to the window not to sure why though,tucked in to the dash the way you did it is definitely way cleaner 👍

[@wildbillwd]

I drove a mack that came with low profile super singles but it had duel 22.5 when I was driving it and it threw off the speedo by 4 mph so I was going faster than what the speedometer was telling me took a little while but I figured it out after scratching my head a couple times that gps speedometer would have came in handy. As always good video!

[@Volcker1929]

Man this is a nice truck, you are doing great work.

[@Ezrider359]

Thanks 👍

[@Lockemup2013]

Another great quality video. I was wondering if you'll get full GPS signal with the ant. under the dash and not on top at the window? Keep these vids coming. As I stated b4, you and Twinsticks ROCK KZbin...

[@w056007568]

I wondered quite why you decided to rep[ace all the coolant rubber pipework on the truck - I fully understand about the ones related to the cab heater and that big pipe at the back of the engine but all the others! Did you decide to do this because of the vehicles age and been standing not running for a while and a suspicion of possible leaks/bursts happening and you were looking for peace of mind that was the best way forward? 9 psi seems rather low I would have thought for a big working engine like that when you pressure tested it for leaks - what would be a normal working pressure please?

[@77Aaronw77]

Cant wait for the next...youre awesome Ezra!

We've been using a GPS speedo from Speed Hut for a few years. Greatest gauge I've added to date.
