David guys always do a great job

[@DIRT-BOSS]

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks Mike

[@crsexcavating3248]

Awesome truck looks sharp 😎

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@DirtBrute]

Looks great! Can't wait to do mine hopefully soon

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks.. I actually had a wet sanded and reshot after this a month later! Check it out in recent vids!

[@louisianadirt2188]

That’ll look great, I need to get mine done also, video when you put the diamond plates on. I like the idea.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks Dwyane will do!

[@fillowtree5505]

Nice!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thank you sir!

[@Julienmsimard]

Looking sharp! On a different note, I'd love to see a video/walkthrough of your cube truck, seeing what you bring on an everyday worksite

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Julien..will do.. thanks

[@JoelHershberger]

It looked so sad with all the paint off of it. The next shot and the paint was done. It was like, "wow". Now that is a pretty truck. You really take good care of your equipment. That is how you make money and have fewer breakdowns. Sweet!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Joel thanks for the compliment! 👍

[@russellcrowe3135]

From Russia with respect and good luck! Нормальный аппарат - рабочий!!!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks

[@russellheaton4930]

Lookin sweet Mike :)

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks Russ!

[@briangardiner1015]

Lookin good. Now all you need is a butt plate air and electrical connections the pintle hitch and you are ready to go.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes sir! Thanks

[@dalepremo3695]

WOW! Gorgeous! I'm sure you're pleased and all the frame areas look really sharp, too. Have to compliment you on checking the obvious with the battery. It isn't always the "simple" things, but often it is and as you say, how mad would you have been if you had torn into that starter and replaced it only to find that wasn't the problem! Good job. Look forward to seeing you get it outside.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yeah you got that right Dale! Thanks

[@louisianadirt2188]

Yea I’d be pissed pulling the starter first,

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@louisianadirt2188 yeah that would of been a bummer..been there done that.. I learn from all mistakes! Lol

[@1man1woman65]

Wow Mike, that truck looks great. I would hate to work in that sandblasting room. In your previous video you mentioned you needed to purchase the solenoid from the dealer and you said $600-700? Is that for one of those small solenoids that fit in the palm of your hand? YIKES!!! Anyway paint job turned out real nice. Also, I use dielectric grease on the terminal posts on my batteries, helps keep corrosion away. Take care and be safe. Stanley in Md.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Stan yes that's 1 solenoid.. I just put those three batteries in a couple weeks ago the terminals were all corroded because it was in the parking lot of FleetPride.. now I sanded all the terminals and put the red corrosion control on them. Thanks

[@ConstructionChannelLuxembourg]

Looks phenomenal. How are you going to cope with getting it dirty for the first time after such a nice paint job?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I hear ya there brother!

[@77bustoff]

Just found your channel mr dirt boss . I do the same as you in Massachusetts. I got 3 Triaxles my favorite is like yours a T800 2015 . I’d like to get my older 2002 international 5600I blasted and painted . The frame is got a lot of rust from the winters . What would you suggest a decent price would be ? I think your truck came out great . You gotta watch those operators that over fill there buckets and sprinkle material on that new paint lol . 👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes for sure! A few G's gets a real good paint job. I actually had it wet sanded and re painted again after that you could see in current Vids.. what part of Mass?

[@77bustoff]

@@DIRT-BOSS I’m just north of Boston near Lowell . Not many shops up this way do trucks . A few in NH or southern Maine .

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@77bustoff Yes I know where Lowell is My in-laws are from Winthrop so we're in that area a lot.. My buddy Dirt Brute out of the Cape just got his truck painted somewhere in New Hampshire it came out really well go over to his channel and ask him tell him I sent you.

[@77bustoff]

@@DIRT-BOSS thanks I appreciate it ! 👍

[@jmm2000]

I noticed that the truck doesn't have a trailer hitch. Will you be installing a pintle hook hitch to put trailers?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes the truck has pintle now go to more recent videos and you will see it towing look for the thumbnail

[@amansama4271]

Nice work bro.do you know whats the color code of this red paint or whats the name of this particular paint.i have the same truck too thinking of getting repaint.thanks

[@DIRT-BOSS]

No he makes his own i guess

[@gimpy8349]

Looks great. Was that an oil leak under the engine?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks bud..yeah it sometimes it drips and sometimes it don't.. it's a gasket on one of the pumps.. they all do it.. it's on the list! Thanks

[@tbirdage]

Wow looks awesome! I bet you paid for that!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes and the truck even got wet sanded and repainted after that ! Look at the current videos Thanks for watching

[@Capitalasphaltny]

What is the name of the place that painted it? Looks great! Im local by the way. Sick video

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Cool thanks where about you're from.. Green Island Auto body ask for Dave he's the owner they do massive amounts of equipment.. I actually had them wet sand it and repaint it since that video

[@Capitalasphaltny]

[@christophermendez3905]

What color code or what color name did you use on it? Mines at the shop right getting blasted and painted red next just not sure if is the right red I picked

[@DIRT-BOSS]

The company I used makes their own paint

[@christophermendez3905]

Okay thank you man looks great

[@loganstuckey5462]

How long did it take to blast

[@DIRT-BOSS]

A day and a half i believe

[@nicholasmartin6039]

They miss alot

[@ketel187]

How much was it to sandblast only?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I'm not sure probably $800 bucks if I had to guess

[@giovannidodaro3849]

I just picked up a 10 wheeler gvw is 56 k. Do I need to go up to Albany to register it. I’m just gonna put commercial plates. Thank you

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Well you have to register every vehicle not sure what you're asking?

[@giovannidodaro3849]

Can I go to my local dmv and register ? I thought to register heavy trucks I needed to go to Albany or is that just for apportioned plates. Basically did you register your truck at your local dmv or had to go to Albany dmv

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@giovannidodaro3849 you could register it locally but for the overweight permit you would have to go to Wolf road not DMV.

[@giovannidodaro3849]

Do you need an over weight permit when you go over the GVW ?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@giovannidodaro3849; yes sir! But that's up to you 😁

[@DanielLamaswala]

How much did that cost?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Dont remember I probably said it in the comments though when it was done I had it wet sanded and repainted a month later

[@jimmydickson8854]

Be better for you if the

[@3mh120]
