    How satisfying it is when you have worked on the engine yourself, and it works great. It never ceases to give me so much pleasure after doing this type of project. Respect dude.

    The best point of a rebuild is when it bursts back into life after all your efforts. Still love that feeling after many (mainly motorbikes but smaller turbo car engines too) rebuilds. Great stuff! Happy New Year when it comes Ezra!

    Love you videos man, you inspire me to keep making UA-cam videos I stopped cuz of how busy I’ve been. How to videos help so many people including myself, I’ve been around trucks all my life and the stuff you teach, only real truck drivers and owners that don’t like paying for mechanics know. I salute you sir God bless you keep it up

    Been 70*F here in N.C. for the last week and I have loved every single minute of it. Y’all can keep those Arctic 🥶 temperatures and snow. The older that I get the more that I dislike cold. Maybe that’s why Yankees like to load their U-Hauls and head south on I-95😆.
    Glad your truck is running well 👍

    It looks like it needs a new ac compressor, those ht6 compressors always leak at the joints between the case halves. It is very important that they are tightened down nice and even. Whenever I buy a vehicle with a ht6 compressor I immediately look for black oily areas on the ac compressor.

      @Ezrider359  Рік тому

      Wash them often in the winter time paying close attention to the underside of everything. Also don't wait for it to warm up to wash best to wash when it's really clold out gets clod enough the salt stops melting the snow and ice your vehicle will stay clean/salt free longer. But mostly just try to keep things as clean as you can and if you're not going to drive or use something for a few days wash it before you park it.
