[@Schlimm1969]

Of course, I talk to myself. Some days those are the most intelligent conversations I have.

[@allan9603]

Janet: Hey Stevie boy, bring your truck over to my repair shop, just don't park at my pumps!🤣😂

[@StrikerV3]

I think from watching so many KZbinrs going through things they’re doing and verbally as well as visually explaining things. I picked up on that and started using it as my preferred way to problem solve. I’m able to think on the inside when necessary, however i do talk to myself on my own quite often. Makes the quiet of being out and about alone a little more tolerable.

[@jodygotyourgirlngone]

You yelling at 0:53 makes me laugh everytime!

[@bryanphillips6666]

I used to do all of my own work. I loved it and I tried to get my kids interested also. But when you had to be everything from a code writer software engineer Mechanic to social worker 🙄 I gave it up. I'm enjoying driving a 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with a 4.6 V8. Like you said find your car and enjoy it and I did! Thank you Steve

[@hughstephenson2957]

Those ole mechanical Cats put that top starter bolt in the funnest place..really makes ya wonder what the hell they were thinking!! And those Injector pumps ALWAYS leak.. lol

[@Stretch1931]

Working through pain! Yowsers! I remember a time when my back went completely out on me, and I couldn't even take a step without dropping to my knees and crawling like a baby. So I completely sympathize!

[@bigbluepete]

Yup I fix my 97 hood. Just did front springs and pins. I love working on it. It makes it real easy to diagnose on the road if you know the whole system. See ya out there!

[@willardway3037]

KIDS are the main reason us OLD TIMERS talk to ourselves LOL/ AND when we need expert advice on some thing LOL

You wont ruin threads by using antisieze You save them by using it....the damage may have been done long before you got orwell. Chase the holes with a tap and if its real bad helicoil the bolt hole as you may know this already

WOW ! A mechanic using real hand tools rather than electric rachets ! I gotta love it !

[@kennethperian4370]

I tried to get my three son to work with me on my 1994 peterbelt cabover 362 but do not want to. Well not work with me on it, hate to say this but I lost my youngest 18 years old.July the25 he turned 18 got a pickup truck got a job payed about 4 payments on it.reck 2miles from house hit head on with a simi truck December the 7 about 6:30am just put him in the ground about 4:00 today. Thanks for showing telling I have learned things from you so keep on showing telling pray for us here in East Tennessee. And well see ya next time see ya bye.

[@MegaEaglelover]

All I can say is keep doin what ya do brother Steve, ya know what’s best for you. 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼 Love watchin all the content

[@louisb229]

Hey, your are a great dad and husband. You produce great videos. Keep it up and don't let them get you down. I use to work with my kids on everything and was about to start my Ph.D., but I injured my back 30 years ago. After that everything came crashing down, so take care of yourself.

[@lylechapman9757]

I know feeling mine is coming up on 20 years! Stay positive 😊

[@louisb229]

@@lylechapman9757 We live in a world so different from others. Are you doing well?

[@lylechapman9757]

Yeah mate thanks to the likes of Steve I can live vicariously through his adventures 😊 KZbin is great I always wanted to come to the USA and drive but I get to do it now on here😂

[@Paladun100]

Santa needs to bring ya a set of gear wrenches hahaha

[@ruston723]

Don't wait to long to get your hands fixed I had both mine done it's worth it

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve at least you can fix it in your shop. Not out in the weather stay safe.

[@windsorwill2261]

Wow Steve I didn't know you were such an electronic expert this is good stuff Bro

[@WoutjeNLD]

Haha that "STAWP!!" killed me hahaha

[@Cap6302]

I think you are doing a damn fine job!!!

[@nicholassmith8348]

"Ssstttttoooooopppppp" I laughed way to hard at that 🤣

[@blueovaltrucker]

I used to do all the mechanical and maintenance to the trucks my father drove....not by myself of course. I did as much as I physically could until I got older...then my father became "supervisor" over the work being done mostly lol. I wasn't good at all of it but to this day he still brags occasionally about my brake jobs....of which there were many on both truck & trailer.

[@meangenemiller3362]

I love Ratchet wrenches for those tight spots.

[@mickkingston1450]

Revision of your tool box with ratchet ring spanner, even though you manage in the end ! Great content and great job 👍

[@raywilson800]

I did almost all my own repairs. I tied a rope on the starter and hung it over the engine and tied it off so it would fall on my face.

[@BruceDelVecchio]

My father didn't know a screwdriver from and a pair of pliers.

[@ProudDad1976]

An article I read stated that talking to yourself can be a sign of intelligence and though there are those who are not mentally healthy most people use this method to come to a logical conclusion to a problem. I think it is like writing out a diagram or at very least writing out two or more columns to decide what should be done next or maybe what parts need to be bought, mental organization is good no matter the method I would think.

[@RMTTR640]

When you do it yourself you know what you got?? Talking to oneself helps you reason your way through a project. Keep working on orwell. I do 90 to 95 percent of the maintenance on my stuff

[@hughstephenson2957]

I talk to myself because sometimes I'm the only intelligent one in the room!!!

[@jreid641]

Man, that's a job!

[@saxworship]

I do my own work on my old motorcycles and an old Jeep Grand Cherokee. 77 , KZ-650 with a side car, 79 GS 1000 and a 94 Grand Cherokee. Nothing as big as you're equipment.

[@georgedeas966]

Had carpal tunnel surgery in both hands in 1989. It worked out well. I was out of commission completely for about 6 weeks and wasn't at 100% for about 8 weeks past that. I used to work on cars but two motorcycle wrecks, a hip replacement and cancer took most of the wind outta my sails. My daughter drove my 70 duster bracket car and recorded its best E.T. at Da Grove. She's able to do simple things on cars like brakes and fluid changes but she works in the corporate world now and hires mechanics now. Lol

[@SbrGrendel65]

I’ve had the carpal tunnel release surgery and it helped. Need my left one done but never did. If your arm hurts in the forearm area sounds like tennis elbow. Had that too, even thou I never played tennis 😂

[@05pete87]

I do most of my repairs myself Sometimes I get it done because I just don't want to be bothered

[@Stretch1931]

Everything's bigger on those rigs! The solenoid is the size of an average starter on a car!

[@hawkeye7834]

Everyone has the right answer Steve even though there not in your shoes u should know that by now lol. But hey keep up the great work and videos man I don't miss any unless I'm out on the road myself and I have to play catch up lol. Take care stay safe

[@johnnieturner2056]

i remember when i did my starter on a t680 in an abandoned parking lot thank god i had all the tools i needed and yeah the starter is a heavy ******** do deal with hahaha

[@pyrioncelendil]

Yeah my dad made a point of trying to do as much of the car repair work at home with the kids involved as possible. Both me and my younger sister picked up on it, such that even as I'm living single and she just got married, we both do our own car repair work whenever we can.

[@stoptheplanetiwantoff6906]

I don't know if you have what we have here in New Zealand but I use deep heat and boy does that work gives you a real nice burning sensation but it helps those muscles and I use Deep Heat regular p.s. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family.

[@DymondzTrucking1962]

Had carpal tunnel got the surgery 5 years later I'm right back where I started. I'm just glad insurance paid for it. Cuz it wasn't worth the time off or the aggravation.

[@charlesferebee263]

Hope you installed a new style high torque starter.

[@meangenemiller3362]

I used to wrench on my vehicles all the time before they were all computerized 🇨🇱

[@terrymorrison7263]

Love the title. KINDA.

[@psg6314]

I have rotator cuff that are bad and I just live with them rather than have surgery

[@scottbaker1018]

Orwell is like wtf pops well at least you didn’t try to pull my face off with a cummins power toy truck 🤣🤣

[@tomriggs3926]

That spot on your arm is a symptom of Tennis Elbow. Repetitive stress doing mechanic work. Irritation of the middle and ring finger muscles rubbing together. You can tape the two fingers together, while working, so they move together, there are gel pads that you can wear on your forearm. And, massage the area of your forearm where those muscles attach near the elbow. You will find its likely very, very sensitive at that area. It may take time to work that out.

[@dahorn100011]

Great vid Steve. Have you thought about a racing car style battery master switch near the battery box so if you ever need to do electrical work you don't have to remove the top of the box and unbolt the wires.

[@bryancondrey6457]

I used to spend a lot of time on my back fixing stuff on my vehicles. Then I started to get vertigo and that ended. So now I pay a good mechanic to help. Stuff still has to get fixed and I figure I can pay someone to keep my daily driver up to speed and I'll tinker with my hobby stuff when I can.

[@thomasdragosr.841]

Vertigo is horrible! I had to change a fog light on my truck and could only reach it from underneath. As soon as I lay down under the truck I started to spin, violently, I broke into a sweat and almost threw up. It was all I could do to get out from under and sit up. That stopped the spin. Getting old sucks!

[@brianbyrd3685]

Carpal tunnel sucks big time my friend. Sometimes when I climb up into my equipment at my work my hands sometimes give me grief.

[@psg6314]

My oldest daughter helped me change my cluch in my 73 Chevy truck and that's as far that whent she didn't like getting grease on her clothes

[@royaltar6961]

Great video, wish I could help you out with the repairs to Orwell.

[@jenniferneumann716]

Hey big guy all you need to do is round up some battery cables and summit summit racing offers those exact posts you're talking about then grab a hunk of angle iron and boom problem solve...d

[@billw4746]

You will get through the pain. You would not want me to replace your starter. I can normally change a starter in less that 30 minutes if I have an exchange starter on hand. I remove one bolt and install a guide start. That will keep the starter from falling out and makes it easy to reinstall. For some that don`t know if that is a 50MT Delco starter it weighs about 80 lbs.

[@Jesse_Jessie_James]

My kid's do the same thing they repeat what i tell them to do if we are in a loud area or they are about yelling distance. So we know they understood what we said. And i will repeat what they said wife does it also. My wife laughed at the beginning of the video. I asked what's so funny. She goes u remember the day (Youngest Son) left lights on inside. And we had to use the One Ton Dually Crew Cab to pull start the KW. And i busted out laughing. The wife could not hear me cause the truck was so loud (Muffler's) She thought the truck was not capable of pulling. I said baby it will pull it. It's just loud cause of the exhaust system Glass Pack's and Echo Tip's. I aired up the air tank the same way u did to the semi. Wife was like she did'nt know u could do that. I said yeah u can. We had to pull start it cause i thought the jump box was in the Semi. I remember i had another son plug it in to charge it up. Lucky i still had chains behind the cab from a previous run. I had the mechanic install the jumper cable kit. Where u can connect the battery cables to charge or to jump start it without having to get where the batteries actually are. Cause i have to stepover the battery box to get in the cab. Where did Matt go? Hell have him do that so u won't injure ur arm more. Ha ha been there trying to remove the bolt's and nut's from the starter's. Jessie's eyes got big when she seen that ur battery box was under the cab. She was like that's dangerous being close to the engine. She asked if u had like a quick shutoff switch to the batteries and I said I have no idea. Finding a good place is hard to find. My wife Jessie got her dream house she wanted for a very long time. When it was up to rent to own she got it. But was struggling with payments. I moved in since she kept begging me to. So I did since I stayed at motels when I wasn't on the road. She was struggling with payments and also other things. That following Christmas I paided off the house to rent to own the house. And brought the kids good clothes and toys. We was just friends best friends. She was like stunned seeing the documents for the house. And watching the kids open up there gift's. We had a cellphone recording a video going around. And the oldest son got Jessie (his mom) opening up her gift from me. And it was the egannent ring and the documents that the house is hers and it's paid off. She was happy that I wanted to marry her. She was like how u know. I told the oldest daughter play it. She played the video of Jessie wishing that I would marry her and adopt the kid's. I did that the kids was happy. That following Monday I adopted the kids they signed there names. And months later we got married. That's good Matt has a job working.

What's leaking that everything is coated in oil?

[@douglasmedlin7159]

The reason you talk to yourself if you need somebody intelligent to talk to. Taught my daughter when she was 14 how to change out the distributor cap and new plug wires. When she was in college went to get her tires rotated an WalMart wanted $60 she told them to stick it. She bought 2 sets of Jack stands and a small 5 ton floor Jack from Walmart. A DeWalt 3/4 driver impact and sockets from Lowes rotated her tires in her apartment parking lot. This smartass came up as she was putting the lug nuts on the last tire and ask if she needed any help she told him she could use a beer if he was not afraid he break a fingernail. Then when she was through she took everything back and got her money back.🤑🤑🤑

[@williamhobbins3501]

I do as much of the work myself just can't bring myself to pay someone when I can do it, plus my son helps as much as he can but he to works another job.

[@R0TFEAST]

2:30 yeah you can cowboy up and soldier on but when that stupid shit catches up with you and you end up with permanent injuries and irreversible damage, you will never be able to drive again. Ask me how I know this... I'll tell you my own personal story of living hell. Don't ever let any such injury just go like that, it can ALWAYS and definitely get worse if you dont do something about it.
