Good morning sunshines! When MBTS said "put your purse down Nancy" I spit my Mt dew all over myself & my phone! Lol! Well said MBTS! LOL! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA

Latterlig fra Norge

[@alaskandawg929]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@michaeld_68]

Drinking mountain dew at 8 something in the morning??? Breakfast of champions 😂

[@coaterdave]

Aaron is not very good at working on the top side of the bus. He's usually under it.🤣Great video. When Mamma is happy, everybody is happy.

[@dale5898]

My back hurts just watching this! Oh to be young again like you two. Ten thousand thumbs up boys!!!!

[@naj370]

HEY, don't be bad talking the power stroke. I have replaced the oil passage o-rings on a 7.3 turbo on a pickup which the oil passages are on the bottom of the turbo. I was 60 years old, had to lay across the top of the engine and didn't whine as much as you two. It was my daughters truck so dad had to come through. I think I love this video the most because your doing something I've actually done before.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Nice work. It’s what dads do.

[@David-ce9hj]

I felt your pain during the early part of the video. Worked out well at the end. I have to say the bus has a great paint job and the interior looks 'smick'.

[@albertmcalister9066]

The most important thing to remember about this repair job is that “ nobody’s happy if mama ain’t happy”

[@dougkolb3706]

Smooth driveway and new Turbo.... oh the things you do to keep Ms. Dirt Perfect happy.

[@greatergood3706]

Still driving my 2001 Ford, great truck!

[@GlockMan70]

Must be powered by Chevy!!! LOL

[@philipberry2704]

Mike you know what Chevrolet stands for? Cracked Heads Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Every Time 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously all makes of vehicles have their problems

[@DacDac-w7r]

You boys are on the real struggle Bus.

[@craigsowers8456]

I forget you were a pro-Diesel Mechanic way before you were an "Operator" ... fun vid and appreciated. Go Team Area Diesel folks !

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Aways a laugh when Aaron is around 🤣. Great job putting the new turbo back on the bus. Mrs.D.P. will be very pleased. Thanks for sharing, D.P.! 😊

[@grilnam9945]

Didnt Area Diesel fix this in the future which is now the past. 😂

[@trevorwenzel2428]

There is an old saying when I was a kid if you can't afford a Ford Dodge a Dodge and buy a Chevrolet.

[@brucehuff5566]

I'm sure Mrs Dp is very happy. Nice work. Great video. Stay safe

[@Jimmyfisher121]

It is funny as heck, the reason you are struggling Mike is how you are talking about it, your not nice to it, then it will make you bleed.

[@Crewsy]

MBTS is a man of his words when he said he would be on “vacation” whenever you were back in the shop to reinstall the turbo. Please don’t tell us if he was actually away on vacation because “vacation” sounds better. 😉

[@colleenteichman9377]

Slowly uppp to 45mph (+)..... "I can tell you it's finally gone over 80 (on a flatbed...pedal to the metal") or words to that affect!! Oh momma, ya gotta luv your man...lo😂😂😂

[@davidfarley1175]

Mike, I retired from a school system, I had approx 40 school buses to keep running, I know all about those Banjo clamps, I cussed those bastards whenever I had to deal with them, we ran mostly 9 liters and DT466s, Good Job Mike, Jenna may even give you an At.At. Boy LOL

[@joaninga1]

7.3 was made by International.

[@dennis2376]

Now we are way back in time. Do not forget to bend with the knees. :) Thank you and have a great week.

[@stephen3727]

I bought three or four new Fords the last one 6.0 was my last one if that tells you anything now I have a diesel that does not let me down dependable Cummins One thing you have to remember, no matter what you have the mechanics are all busy on all makes and models

[@Mylittleprojects36]

That paint job looks good

[@golfer963]

When you're pulling the turbo off there and you had the camera right on back your head I seen the gray hair started just fly out more. LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@charlesmanahan7573]

Change a turbo on a power stroke they are a BIG pain in the butt lol. It takes 8 hours to replace one. I love your show keep up the great job

[@redwolf230]

I love my bus with the old school DT466. No computers plenty of room to get to everything. Can't go wrong with a 80's built international

[@MikecWilliams-kn7qu]

Worked for a company that used Ford f450. We worked out of town a lot. On the way home, his vehicle went down. He said load boom. The banjo clamp broke on the turbo. Only place to get one was Ford dealer shop. Used a 4" hose clamp for temporary fix. Got to the dealer, wanted $70 just for the clamp. Bought one, but just the 4" hose clamp on till sold the truck 5 years later.

[@charleswelch249]

I'm glad you got the bus going. Hope you don't have any more surprises in the future.

[@rickhay9782]

For the love of all that's holy, please pick up that Swifter mop on the bus floor,and put it away...jeesh😅

[@robertchaffee5662]

"Don't think my air conditioner will keep up with the fire!".. 😂😂😂😂!!!!

[@DavidMSymonds]

May be time to hire The Captain to do the shop repairs ? 😃😃

[@thomas3059]

Well as a friend I can tell you my Ford 7.3 Which is actually by international has 350000 Miles on it And is still all original. Runs awesome.

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Yep, AWDS is hard to beat! Great people! I wish more business people would focus on Customer Service, the way these guys do! Great video! Thanks Mike! Lee

[@knotengajin7359]

Definitely Mike’s bus because we know MBTS got off the short bus!

[@billbyrnes9505]

Are we going to see a NEW channel up and coming? Dirt Perfect Nancy? Don't scratch the paint there, DPN. 😂😂😂😂

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

I guess perhaps you are going to do it anyway, but you should put something on the underneath side of the fold-down table on the side of your bus. You could cover it with a sign, logo, artwork of nature, etc.

[@oldfarmer4700]

Don’t matter if its a ford, Chevy or dodge and what they use for diesels, they all will break at some point. After having them all I know one thing that in-line 6 is a hell of a lot easier to work on. Just saying!

[@kenwillis8487]

A tip for using flat tip screwdrivers, use a good magnetic one. It helps to hold the tip to the screw so it doesn’t keep slipping off the screw! Personally I still hate flat head screws but since learning that tip it does make it more bearable and bonus for holding the screw when it’s fully removed so I don’t drop it!

[@MrKongklo]

You 2 are the best cartoon characters sins Tom&Jerry was released 😂😂😂

[@dandevlin185]

Man ol man, Aaron is so funny, I laughed when he told you to " put down your purse Nancy " 😂😂, great video as always see ya on the next one ✌️

[@lancecluster]

The bus might be a little bit of a pain, but it does look like it is in nice shape and your family seems to like it.

[@rickylong2768]

CHEVY DONT GIVE UP ON YOU LIKE THAT 4 LETTER MOTOR DOES

[@staceyacre]

That 4 letter company was generous enough to circle the problem for its buyers. 😂😂

[@ian_b5518]

Aaron trolling like a champ. "Do you need a man to come over and get that"!

[@kennyarmer4092]

I also had a bad experience owning a power stroke, many bad experiences, I was so glad I got rid of it.

[@charliekelley7530]

The secret on working on a Ford motor is always have a big hammer and a lot of cussing lol. So Mike which is worse the Kubota skid steer or working on the bus lol

[@garryhicks9109]

It's 9-40 pm here in Australia.Keep up yhe good work guys😁👍

[@mattzembower2042]

The waste gate opens a passage to allow exhaust to bypass some of the air blowing across the exhaust impeller and put pressure to both sides of the exhaust impeller making it slow down, the cold start restriction actuator piston is notorious for leaking oil after some time, the glow plugs and intake air plenum heater works fine for most climates, you can get a pedestal without the actuator or unplug before it sucks in a bunch of dirt damaging the o-ring, powerstrokes are interesting engines

[@kevinhornbuckle]

This is helpful.

[@JOYR1234]

looks like it's the turbo that came with the when it was bult

[@thomasyork7641]

Atleast the wheels on the bus still go round and round

[@richardhedrick5601]

I can’t believe mbts left you hanging like that making you put it back together by yourself

[@MrGhostLt]

A pry bar = flat head screwdriver yes that's a good use of it. Have changed out 96% of the flat head screws, have hex or torx and life get a lot easier. Don't you have a Hose clamp screwdriver think i have seen one in your shop... Or have you lost it :P

[@jerrypage4327]

Looks to me like the exhaust (out by the tip) could use another support there D.P.... ( it was bouncing around a lot on our test drive )...Great video and glad you got the turbo fixed bud...Happy Wife Happy Life right ?...see ya on the next one.

[@152brm]

Working on the "Struggle Bus"!!!!

[@troykitchens9924]

Don't be a hater!!! Ford rules the world!!! Haha

[@Bman2020]

Delors threw up but after all of your gripes along the way you got it done The T444E navistar 7.3 people say it’s the best engine ever made until. Ford got it hand on it feel your pain but happy wife happy life 👍👋🇨🇦

[@stevencroon]

Good start to a Jaberwoki episode!! I love it 😄😄😄

[@haroldfoust]

Good Saturday morning. October 26th local time <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="421">7:01</a> AM.NC

[@paulprigge1209]

Definitely not central time lol

[@mattzembower2042]

To say you and Arron were on the struggle bus in this video would be an understatement !

[@nevillekinsley5610]

Thanks for the video.

[@edwardreidt1230]

Mike remembers happy Mrs. Dirt makes Mike happy but I agree found on road dead vehicle is right 😂

[@JoeDinko]

i meet that guy dealing with header bolts on my 66 GTO

[@ChrisH-kb8pm]

Happy wife happy life good job DP

[@brucefowler832]

You two did well. It would have been a much shorter video if it was me after editing out all the non pg language.

[@NormLenhart-v4l]

"You need a man to come over and show you how to do it?" A man? Well, Clint from C&C is a couple hours north. All I see here are two Chevy owners...

[@joshuamassie3505]

😂

[@jackgreen412]

Been there, done that. I've been known to speak in tongues, throw things, etc. Was working on something in my driveway once, using some kind of foreign language. My wife said "what about the neighbors. I said to he__ with the neighbors.

[@mikebougher3731]

You know if you put a bigger turbo on it you get to your camping spot faster! 😂

[@TheRealMrDiGG]

I’m gonna be like you when I grow up! 🚎

[@josh-t4y]

Michael , if you want to get that bus to go faster , change the rear endto a higher gear

[@vaughnhill3437]

I bet that outside reat tire gets a little warm after you drive it a little ways. You fixed it so you won't have to sleep outside with the dogs lol

[@johnroberts8475]

Good video Mike

[@P-J-W-777]

I’ve never had the front end fall out of my Ford or dropped a transmission or had to replace body panels. LOL Actually the only reason I’ve ever had to touch my motor was due to the stupid emissions systems, welp, that problem has been permanently solved and I haven’t had to touch it since. Would you know, I make more power and even get almost twice the fuel economy that i did when it was stock. Imagine that! I don’t even blow black smoke like all the haters seem to think all of us diesel drivers do on a daily basis. But I can if I really really want to.

[@Crewsy]

I’ll grab some popcorn 🍿 before I start to read the comments when the video ends. For the record I agree with everything you both said but I know there’s going to be a lot of comments from people that get triggered.

[@46rambo49]

sold all our fords when they thought it was good business to sell electric trucks at a $100k loss per unit. My Cummins runs just fine.. the Kubota theory seems sound. Industrial Injection for turbos

[@JohnJache]

Look at the bright side , you could have been replacing the motor instead .

[@brianherron5400]

Lots of horsepower there shaken the exhaust pipe loose .

[@rudyfisher7660]

I see that you're putting it back together by yourself. I guess man and behind the scene actually went on vacation because you hadn't got the turbo back

[@forestdrew5437]

Turbos come and go but that 7.3L International Motor is a solid motor overall. Tried and true, I've owned several. Like any engine the 7.3L has its quarks, but once you know what they are most issues are preventable. You guys crack me up trying to get the Chevy vs Ford debate going. 🤣

[@billsrq1788]

Good morning from Siesta Key Florida

[@eastkywelding]

There's a manual fuel pump right in front that turbo down inside the intake valley them is notorious for leaking fuel out the weep hole it would have been easier to go ahead and change it while you had turbo off .

[@ivanferguson2509]

10,000 miles my bosses ferd lunched a turbo, dealership pulled the cab to replace it. Talking to some ford guys and found out that's the easiest and fastest way to do them.

[@keithsuits9792]

Enjoyed the video

[@jonathanwilliams4501]

Never had a bad Cummins or Dodge truck…

[@bourbonthebiscuit]

FORD= Fix Or Repair Daily 👌👍🏻👍🏻

[@rickcham7781]

Another shop video 🎉❤🎉!!!!

[@robertchaffee5662]

"Kabota engineering!".. 😂😂😂!!!

[@coloradonative4997]

At least ford & Cummins didn’t have to go to Japan to design there engines Ford has more power & torque, the turbo is Garrett

[@MyDuckfoot]

Only good ford motor was a 351 Windsor. Only because it was made in Canada. 😂

[@mikeludwig4315]

Just had to laugh at this engineer had to went to Kubota.

[@andrewk6844]

Duramax are a pile of shit. we have them as 2.8 turbo diesel and they are nothing but trouble the 3.6lt petrol one of the most unreliable

[@timothylong68]

Noticed how MBTS said I will be on VACATION when the turbo gets installed.

[@stevevandine8592]

Never been a fan of 430 or the 444 in a straight truck but I'm sure dog house comes out on them so you can work on them now the 466 is bullet proof and basis for alot of the international pro farm tractor pulling set ups they are tough

[@rickcham7781]

Way to funny. They put a Chevy truck commercial on you 😂

[@steveleverett2644]

Another great video. ❤ And no I don’t think you would like to be a bus driver. Been there done that one. Thanks

[@JeremyBarth-ov7mg]

Lol all that complaining and look that turbo went in smooth came out quick faster than some of the other turbos I've ever seen😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Grumpys_Auto_Services_and_More]

I thought that was why GM added a heated/AC tailgate so your hands could stay comfortable when you push it home 🤣 JK guys I love the big 3 but that international motor is a lot better built than the Isuzu motor GM decided to use. 😁 and yes it is a 1000 times harder to work on inside a pickup.

[@deewain32]

MBTS must have had ball practice on the reinstall. 😂

[@burchelgibson]

That's a Navistar engine they painted their Motors blue Ford Motors or clear-coated I worked at the the Navistar plant in Indianapolis for 13 years seeing a lot of them they were even hard to build at the factory

[@daleshoemaker7742]

Believe it or not it’s actually easier to change the turbo in the truck than the bus it’s a very similar set up to the Duramax too matter fact I think it’s the same brand turbo from Garrett

[@GregoryYancer-on2ns]

Nice change of pace video. Sorry about the camping trip. Who did the paint job on the bus? Looks nice.

[@michaelparker4598]

I loved my power stroke it was a good truck it took a lot of abuse till it died from old age but those turbo do suck to remove wait till all the heads are rusted off the bolts
