Man I feel for ya. Not feeling good and fought through it. Not going to get done by looking at it. Well Done!! I had good luck with putting that clutch and plate on the input shaft,then stab the Transmission, and put the bolts in the pressure plate through the bottom cover hole. Yes you need to roll the motor a few times, but much easier for me. Fine job. On your tank patch could you put a thicker piece of rubber to shim the patch, then install your insulator to help keep pressure off the patch?
Good luck Gerald. Hell of a job. By yourself. I just found out this week my 2000 isx has an oil leak were engine and bell housing goes together. Didn’t know there was oil in there. 80 dollar gasket. Mechanic said about 25 hours labor. After seeing your job I can believe it. Does. Cat have oil in there. Good luck. Great video.
Yes a cat has oil back there. The bottom of the fly wheel housing is actually where the last few inch of the oil pan bolts to. It’s not a fun job to do and 25 hours sounds about right.
Great job Gerald I remember when you did that on your 359. And you feel like crap on top of all that work you had to do. I've always said if you want something done right do it yourself..👏👏👏👏👏
Dan you got that right. Most places around here you can’t get into when you need too and Im probably not going to be happy with the work so I might as well do it myself😂
Hats off to you brother, hate that your sick, sucks doing big jobs and feeling like a$$, if I was closer I’d come give you a hand… By now you probably got her in the wind 🚛💨💨💨 best of luck buddy
Nice work ol buddy. That should make you and the old girl happy. Can’t wait to see ya running it and it not stallin out on ya. Time to finally enjoy it. God bless and make sure ya spend time w the family.
@@thedirtytrucker9633 yes sir if I didn’t live so damn far away I would’ve been glad to help ya I live up in Cincinnati sorry but you did a damn good job. 👍 enjoy the family look for another video soon.
For a little bit there while you were putting that gasket on I was kinda expecting you to add a couple happy little trees. 😂 How many days total? Dig what you do sir.
Just finished watching video Tuesday morning. You done a heck of a job. Thumbs up my friend. Very hard dirty work. Done transmission and clutches. But not the bell housing. Now that’s a job.
Awesome job mate ! Next time you are sitting waiting to get loaded just enjoy the rest, it is much better than crawling around under the truck 🤣🤣 Take care Mate
He says great job. He also has a couple questions for you if you don't mind. Where did you learn how to do that he means fix your own stuff. How long did it take you to do that. He helps you feel better too. We are on our way to the lake house for the summer. Hope your next week is better thank you Gerald for keeping him entertained
Thank you guys! I’m glad he is better and you are headed to the lake house for the summer. Sounds like a good get away. David I grew up in trucking on both sides of my family. I started doing all the little things I could and a little kid. Washing, lights etc and kept on learning as I got older and was able to do more. This whole project was a 3-4 days work time. Can’t really remember. It was cold and I was sick so I had a half day in there and had to wait 3-4 days in the motor mount brackets.
He wanted to go see the Green Grass and smell the water trust me it's not an easy task moving in from the city to the lake house it was like you working on your truck for 4 days a lot of trips back and forth in the Escalade
@@thedirtytrucker9633 Dallen will spend the Summer there I have to work I will only see him on the weekends he will have his medical staff with in the whole summer I hope everything is well with you as well and your family
Job well done Sir ; You are living proof of , where there is a will ,there is a way!! Much respect to Ya Sir !! Wish You many miles of trouble free service !! i got tickled , you just about have to cuss it to work on it or at least i do !! hahaha i enjoyed the video as always !! Appreciate Ya , Take Care , keep on Truckin ......You are a dying Breed , i mean that in a Good Way !!
Thanks James! Yeah there are some time where I have to do a little editing. I was sick most of this project and at the time we were having typical spring time south east Arkansas weather, 30 in the morning and 70 in the afternoon
Hi , while you have your tank off you could do one of my favorite mods I had on my truck . a shit trap tank welded under the tank usually the front being the lowest part of the tank . this catches all the dirt and water leaving the filter any microns of dirt in cloudy diesel to deal with . then once a year drain all the crap into a bucket . the shit trap is a constant cleaning system that works with any movement of the truck and theres nothing better or cheaper . mine i made 8"x6" around 2" deep drill a hole in the main tank about 5/8" debure it then weld so its centre of the hole is in the middle of the shit trap to stop any flow back ...
@@thedirtytrucker9633 Hi ya , yea ive done quite a bit of mods since 78 . ive always tried to create a truck that can look after itself on a low cost . as an owner driver we never get rich but we tend to like the challenge ... Kevin Fullard
That’s coming. I was just lucky that I have extra engines to rob parts off of. I’ve been spraying the holes good. Going to try to use a big ease out on them

Thanks for the reply Gerald. Hardest working u tuber I watch.
I'm pretty sure this truck is trying to take you down, but I don't think it knows who it's messing with. Good work, driver!
She stubborn! The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time!

Hats off to you brother, hate that your sick, sucks doing big jobs and feeling like a$$, if I was closer I’d come give you a hand… By now you probably got her in the wind 🚛💨💨💨 best of luck buddy

It took about 3-4 days total work time. I had about 4 days waiting on the motor mount brackets.

Thanks! It was a heck of an ordeal!!

Inside of it is way better than under it.

18:30 lmaoo i would've done the same thing.
lol! That’s how I roll😂😂😂
its hell to be a o/o
Always fun times guaranteed😂
Those tanks aren’t too awful expensive on 4 states. The cheaper ones I’ve noticed don’t have the suction lines so that’s something to think about
✌💪💪👊👊🤙👍
Hi Dirty Trucker
Hey Tim!
Put a piece of brass under the egg hole and fill it up with weld
That’s a sand good idea. I started to mig it closed best I could and have my buddy tighten the top layer so I could sand it smooth

Get yourself a good headlamp. I wear one all the time. Old eyes.
I really need to find mine. Probably in my gun cabinet. I usually use it to get to my deer stand in the mornings
Appreciate

Thank you!
Weld those holes up and redrill them with a drill press.
That’s coming. I was just lucky that I have extra engines to rob parts off of. I’ve been spraying the holes good. Going to try to use a big ease out on them
@@thedirtytrucker9633 I use heli coils often when threads are f-kedup
@@thedirtytrucker9633 drill the bolt out as close as possible and chisel the rest out
Idk. They make helicoils that big but I’m thinking about taking it to a machine shop and let them weld it solid and then tap it
Man that’s some big bolts!!!
