Big John the 1957 Dodge D500 fights me at every possible turn. Think this truck will ever hit the road again after sitting for decades?

Anyone else love the way this video was edited? Perfect amount of knowledge, perfect amount of comedy.
Yes ! The messed up hair ending was great , explained the whole " fun " journey of car maintenance and repair. and modification.
As I write the soccer fans in the pub down the road are singing like a football folk song chant thing I think England might
have beat Italy in the Euros.
i love when dylan talked about the left hand thread and who really needed to know about that was kevin and luke during the satellite revival
My question for automotive experts: If it's a safety feature to have the driver's side lug nuts left-hand threaded, why doesn't everyone do it? You'd think there would be lots of news stories of wheels loosening and coming off on other makes...
@@odahithedubious2017 You just answered your question. Somebody decided it was not worth the hassle manufacturing cars with different thread directions on the lugnuts. Nothing happened. Wheels didn't come loose. It works just fine.
@@odahithedubious2017 because we don't need to worry about that anymore because we tighten are lug nuts so tight that only Act of God can loosen them or a very very strong piece of Steel jk
I really think he needs a good power washing. Great job.
Agreed 💯 %
Love the moral of this video.
He who can admit when he is wrong, is strong indeed.
Very well said.
Patience is the only thing I can think about right now. Patience is key.
Hello brother
@@Kiloyoten Hello?
Indeed, 😎😎😎
@@SparkyFolf herro!
Believe me; Dylan knows about patience! That’s for sure! 😉
No one is perfect and people make mistakes that's just part of being human keep up the vids I really like them
"Rides like a covered wagon" Too much fun.
Love how you always say thank you when something goes right. That is the key to working on old equipment being thankful of the small victories.
I do the same thing; thank the Lord for His help...😉🙏
I do the same when working with horses. Always give thanks.
I've always liked your videos, and I'm enjoying the new method you're using for these videos and editing now! I hope you're having as much fun making this as I am watching it! Great job!
I’ve had so much fun making these!
@@DylanMcCoolVideo thrilled to hear it! I'm glad to see you're enjoying yourself!
@@DylanMcCoolVideo , so, did you give my ideas that I suggested in the previous video some thought?
Big John is just stuck in his old ways, let him know that every thing you fix is gonna make him feel and run better.. keep at it dylan!!
We old guys do have a knack for being pretty stubborn, LOL.
“Nacho fry box....it’ll change lives.” 😂
Change my life? You mean it'll give me the winning Powerball numbers?? 😁 🤑
@@rodmandealerman3297 nah it’ll make you gain 100 pounds if you work next door to Taco Bell
Costco has the best fries, but I digress 😂🍟
Hey man kudos to you for doing something so different! I really enjoyed the Challenger build but this is so unique!
The intro is fantastic 👏🏻
I love Big John. Please do more of him! You're my favorite classic car restoration mechanic on youtube.
That narration was PERFECT. It was engaging, funny, and the got it wrong counter just made a video that would work for non-car people. It was 40 minutes that felt like 15. Great job.
Love the sense of humor, Sir. Sounds like the electric pump decided to self-immolate.
looking forward to seeing big john back on the road!
same Im exited that this may turn out to be his next big project
Good luck with John, what a stubborn fella he is. I'm sure you will beat him into submission eventually and become good friends and have many good years together. Looking back and being able to laugh at this moment in time :)
That head smacked of the hood is priceless. .been there done that!
I had an old Chevy dump truck that I used to keep in my front yard and the way big John Started and idled made me have nostalgia I miss that old dump truck.
Haven't even watched the whole video, gave it a thumbs up just for the intro. I think we could use the "most important tool" a lot more.
Dylan; the explanation for why it stopped raining; God has a sense of humor, if you ever doubt that just tell him your plans. If that's not enough look at the Duck billed platypus.
With how difficult this process has been, I was cheering with every success and down in the mouth with every set back. You're doing great Dylan. There's an old riddle: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! Make sure you chew well with every bite my friend, and best of luck on this build.
Dylan’s videos are getting better and better man... I think I’m going to start calling him Dylan “McSmoooothh” ☺️☺️👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻
I love this ol truck my uncle bought 1 like this new. He used it till 1988 then gave it to his son my cousin. And he restored it takes it to local shows now
Don’t give up!
That truck has been waiting for YOU.
Big John knows your his salvation, don’t let him down.
Everybody has to have their own way of being unique. He found his! Love it.
My father in law almost died when starting a tractor. It ran him over and almost ended his life. He was starting it by shorting it like you did.
@William Weaver, ouch.
Patients is something my father taught me It's the most important tool..!
It's important to have 'patience' when dealing with very sick 'patients' like this old Dodge truck...
Mines broken.
I liked this video a lot! Awesome editing!
That Truck is a GREAT Find! Congrats! :)
Dylan it is great that you use what we call a sermon to get a good point across. The Dodge truck would make a nice camper.
Hands down the most inspirational UA-camr on the web now much respect keep up the good work brother
You hit the nail on the head with the "patience" story... well done and thanks for the reminder!
Looks like Teng tools needs to send you some stuff if that’s how your tool box drawers really look...lol
I love the positive message. The world needs more people like you.
Man working on an old thing like that in the rain is some character building stuff. Almost feel guilty watching this all warm and cozy.
THAT, was your best produced video. Very entertaining. Liked and shared, Thank you.
Your excitement while driving this truck is on a new level.
Hey Dylan @10:09, that 1/2” hose fitting should have a hose running up to your engine. That’s how the brake booster gets vacuum. Will definitely help with the ease of braking. On the firewall of your truck they might still have a large check valve mounted to the firewall, one side goes to the intake manifold and one side to the fitting on the booster.
I’ve changed a few of those boosters over the years on 2 ton trucks. They are like master cylinders, they don’t like to sit up for long. May have to invest in one of those as well. Good luck with the project
41:11 good example here of properly jacking up a vehicle and safely supporting the vehicle and the jack stands to keep everything stable
I truly enjoy your videos. Not only are you talented with vehicles and engines but your are also a fantastic, natural teacher. Along with Junkyard Digs and Thunderhead289, y’all are a first rate tech school! You encourage novices like me to be more self sufficient. Thank you for the great content!
Wrong counter is too funny
Loved everything about this video. Everything. Big John can fight all he wants, but he’ll never win the war!
I'm loving your story about "BIG JOHN". This was so funny, and when the camera couldn't even stand to watch Big John getting towed home, I just lost it! Can't wait for the next video.
Probably my favorite video you have made yet! Excellent work, thank you.
Dylan, you're getting better and better at making content...now that I see you're trying to add a bit of humour to your videos and it works really well Dylan you have a great humour sense..keep going, buddy..you'll get there..!
Great format, I like how it displays an inner dialogue while teaching a lesson. Thanks Dylan!
You’re a man of culture I see, Knipex Cobra. 🙌🏻
One of the best episodes I’ve seen yet . I’m rooting for ya. Big John 😬
I love the opening. My dad never learned that lesson and always threw his tools around loosing his temper. I practice patience and keeping a cool temper both in my daily job as a mechanic and with my son when teaching him new skills like ridding a scooter or swimming.
Great vid. I really like the new format. Looking forward to see Big John revived and runnin like a top!
LOVED your commentary and enthusiasm at the end after all your trial and tribulations. Great stuff!
Dylan, you are a good teacher - I'm not a car fixing type of guy, but I enjoy watching and learning from your videos.
I love your real life content and the fact that you don't leave much out. My opinion the less you leave out the better the video. Great Job!
Love the new format. Love the rebuild/repair of this truck. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for much better content than what I can get on TV or cable!
The problem with the brakes is that once there’s a leak and it sits a long time, moisture finds its way in and everything corrodes from that point on, hence the seized master piston and leaky wheel cylinders…Great content and presentation style, almost as if you’re narrating a tv show with a story line in the style of “The Wonder Years”, subbed…
I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video.
"but it was obviously too painful to watch" *cam falls* had me CACKLING
Same tho lol
love this series, I'm currently going through the same thing with brakes on my 1971 Ford f600 dump truck that sat for 15 years, just finished installing all new brake shoes and 6 new wheel cylinders and several brake lines, going to attempt to get them bled out tonight! Good luck moving forward with big john!
These videos get better and better. Keep up the good work.
Really enjoying this story telling format of the past couple videos, thanks for all the effort!
Dylan, make yourself a drum brake spring tool. Take an old STRONG standard (flat-tip) screw driver and grind a V-shaped slot into the blade of the screwdriver. It will make the job INFINITELY easier.
So far this is my favorite video of yours!
I share the love for the old Dodge,....lol....you found out Ya don't mess with Big John,.....you tryd to walk it outta there....but Big John just took off runnin without ya......Yall lucked out on this beauty,...usually them valves get all stuck from sittin....& ya gotta pull the head & lube & tap & crank & hope they don't snap off...I had The D100, flat 6 3on the tree,... my first P/U...it was a rusty old bucket....but I rebuilt all the external engine components & drove it for years without a problem.
Fantastic video Dylan! Love the new storyline and videography!
The format is a departure from the original but it is good 😌. I like this.
First thank the Lord you’re okay. Big John is gonna be many battles in different stages but you got this Dylan. Stage 1 Brakes done ✅ Stage 2 Electrical would be your next target 🎯. You’ve got this. Patience Determination. Dylan wishing you a Blessed One Sir.
You and Derick are my go to for entertainment. Great job Dylan. Keep it up!
I love watching you reason out how to work out the problem. It is so satisfying to watch the darn truck stop!
I love the narration. Adds something new to the videos, in a good way!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Super fun video thanks fir posting. Never give up Dylan, you can beat big bad john.
Awesome video. Like the new format!
Patience is right! Good stuff man!
I loved the look on your face at the end, awesome. Keep working on him and he'll be pulling stumps on your land in no time. God Bless Dylan!
This young man and those like him gives me hope for the future of America . What a fine example of young manhood.
the joy and excitement you showed when you first hit the brakes extended all the way to canada and made me feel all warm and happy inside. way to wrench.
Love this series with this old truck. I'd have had a EZ Wire wiring kit over nighted and rewired that truck within the next few days! Can't wait for the next video on it!
Do not give up on big John that is an awesome truck. You both have come so far. 🚚
you are doing a great job with these recent videos. I love the story quality and your heart
Dylan your outdoing yourself. I love it. 🥰

Nice job! I really enjoy the way you've changed how you shoot your videos. Great project the 57 is my favorite body style of that era of Dodge trucks.
I really like the inner monologue at the beginning. Very different and truthful.

Dylan this is a good one i enjoyed love the beginning and the advice to yourself. Good advice to all, im still working on it my self. That truck is now family to me since you named it soooo be nice.
The camera falling over at the end there, just about sums up your day!
