In this video I buy a 96 freightliner fl70 with transmission problems. Previous owner said it needed a clutch. It turned out to be the throwout bearing was not greased and failed. Project turned into alot more once I got into it.
53:35 I was waiting for Andrew to come in with the rock chainsaw and get the nut that was holding the yoke in .. seriously great video. Love watching your videos. 👍🙏
Jesse those two balls are for your linkage arm on the inside of the PTO. or when you did engage or disengage the PTO. it's those little bumps you feel when moving the lever inside the cab. Best way I can explain it.
Jesse, it's a lot easier putting the trans and bell housing off and on separately.It makes it easier setting the clutch linkage to the bearing through the big hole and installing and removing the bell housing bolts. I also hope you "neverseezd" the pump to PTO splines. A good job especially on your back. Most of those commercial pumps come with instructions to support the rear of the pump to the trans. I have seen catastrophic failures when that is not done.
First time here and I subscribed. I also watch Diesel Creek, J.C. SMITH PROJECTS and coldwarmotors. Your son looked like he was left out of it, perhaps give him a wire brush and set him to work on them rusty bolts ! hehe. Cheers from Australia.
Awesome video! I definitely enjoyed watching you fix her up! One thing I did learn in the field is that air tools are stronger than battery tools but the best use what they got. Truly badass!
This was a good 2 hour movie. 10/10. Oh you have a bunch of fun looking content, i'm definitely going to be following along. 1:37:10 "...and it had like Half this dial indicator." BHahahh 😄
костёр на берегу горит , спокойно речка протекает ... и искры пламенный узор , в ночное небо посылают ... ты улыбаешь костру , ладонями играясь с жаром ... в душе тепло , встаю встаю , ты сну поклон свой отдавала ... с добрым утром юленька ! жаром ... огонь стихия жарче нету ... как нимб теплом окружена ... согреешь странника ты светом , Ты Львица ! Стихии Огненной ты Красота !...
You did one hell of a nice job on this.That's a sweet ride and worth all your time and money its going to end up being very reliable for you. How about some work on that sweet Cummins. Oil change ,fuel air and oil filters and clean out the injectors? Really enjoyed this vid, you got a new subscriber.
So on these transmission you use the clutch when you shift the stick but when you use the splitter that's an axle thing and just need to throttle down a bit?
Long haul but you got it done. you know your way around the truck probably saved nine grand for the work you put into it. Cant wait for the next one on the Black Beauty.
Listen - you dont need to talk yourself into (or convince us) that you ‘still’ got a good deal on that truck.... trucks like those are almost bulletproof. Its not about how much you paid to fix it.. its about how much it will earn over its life now thats its fixed, and the labor cost you saved from doing it yourself. The knowledge gained alone has great value.. Great job man, really... any issue that truck might cough up in the future will seem like nothing after all that. My company will ROUTINELY dump 15 grand into an old truck - and THEN wind up sending it auction anyway and replace it with a new one . - because its gotten to point of being more expensive to keep than replace. You’re NOWHERE near that point.
yea this truck seems pretty nice. it is always nice to get the big work like this done and its finally able to move around to do the small stuff, and the small stuff seems even smaller after a nice size project like this
Never seen a transmission filled with anti seize before.. lol Dude - get the Milwaukee 1/2” impact.. the problem with Makita is the small batteries. You get 9.0 or 12.0 battery on the Milwaukee, and shit comes off.. the higher amp hours, and the bigger 2700 cells in the High output Milwaukee batteries makes a big difference.
Hey there! New Subscriber.... its like you and Andrew Camarata are brothers from a different mother. LOL. Great channel. Now you need to just build a bigger shop! I hear containers work well... ;D
OMG, having owned my own repair shop and watching you crawling around under that vehicle I commend your tenacity there's no way unless I had this thing lifted up so I could work like a human being, if even just 12" higher and on good ground, I could ever be able to do what you're doing. Ah youth....
Great repair adventure! Since you live in such a rust prone area, may I suggest you paint those parts with a rust converter such as Rust-Oleum rust converter or POR15? A rust converter chemically converts the reddish iron oxides into bluish-black ferric tannate which stops rust and seals the part from the elements.
It must suck have to work on stuff when it's freezing. I know it sucks to lay on the ground in 70 degree weather let alone when there's snow on the ground
good afternoon from cyprus i just finished watching all your videos, i have been watching andrew camarata for a few years now and i thought that he was good buy YOU ARE THE MAN...... keep up the good work.
Hard work fella , trucks Not my cup tea . i always used to do my own Car maintenence when younger every time i payed some garage to fix something back in it would go . so that got me Learning to Fix myself . & cheaper .
