The engine Rebuild is complete and it was cheaper than expected.
Also I have new SuperTruckerDan merchandise.
I really appreciate you being honest with the costs and breaking them down. Many people wouldn't share that information.
Just wonderful, credible, information, Dan. Thank you! Here's hopin' for a million before the next significant issue! :~)
Worth every penny rebuilding that pre emission engine. Run'em til we can't.
We missed you during the time of your break down, looking forward to your adventures. Thanks for your stories...
Thanks for watching
My old boss "saved some money" by having a friend of a friend rebuild his Cat engine....... a year later, blow by and a gallon of oil a day. Finally spent the right money and had a real mechanic with real Cat parts rebuild it. Glad you went with the right choice. Another million on tap!! Missed ya big guy!!
Your boss didn't save any money. My dad used to try to save money that way. It usually ended badly.
@@kingmike40 That's why it was in quotes.
6 days on the road and I’m gonna make it home tonight. Shirts look great!
Dorsey Manufacturers the Best Trailers and they’re Manufactured right here in the United States.👍
Glad to see you back rolling! I know that warranty sure gives you peace of mind.
It does

Listen to that whistle, whew!

Hello Rob.
Dan, congratulations on a successful rebuild at an excellent price. Didn't hear you mention a new engine rotational damper (perhaps included in the kit), or dynamic balancer. Two items
important to long engine life. If not replaced, consider replacing when you replace the radiator. You also might consider a turbo blanket and outlet pipe wrap for the new turbo. Decreased turbo lag and keeps engine compartment temps down. Glad to see Cat filters used and may be important if warranty is involved. Another vital recommendation is oil sampling at least every10,000 miles, and every change. Also trans and rear ends. Can alert you to warning these components are giving and $35 per sample is cheap insurance. Head gaskets usually gives several miles warning, and an oil analysis would show what a visual can't. With a new engine you now have a great opportunity to really improve your fuel milage with lower speeds, lower rpm's, and reduced turbo boost numbers and progressive shifting. Which results in less fuel purchases and more money in your bank account. Will make a big
dollar difference at the end of the year. Best of success trucking in 2021!
Dang that's a good price for a platinum overhaul, glad your back on the road. Keep on trucking!!
Thanks for watching
In my humble opinion this is exactly why you’re the best trucking youtuber. You’re just you and honest with all of your up’s and down’s. It says a lot about you as a man and your character. I will watch and like and support you as long as you feel like making videos. Thank you sir.
Hope it stays together for you Dan 👍 I had a ECM go out on my truck and thanks to Foley Cat they took one off a truck there to get me home and not wait a week good people
I was real happy with the shop
Thanks for watching
Great music selection for the fog section. Creates a really sureal experience.
Thanks for watching
Money well invested by getting the engine rebuilt. Good to see you back on the road again. Keep up the good work.
I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'm glad you're doing the rebuild correctly. By showing your viewers the ups and downs of trucking is a great example on how to work hard and make an honest living. keep up the open and honest true cost of owning a big truck. Thanks and Keep the videos coming! drive safe!
It was the smart move. That truck has value and now has plenty more added to it. Good decision, Super Trucker.
Thanks for watching
I can’t believe a platinum kit didn’t come with main bearings I just rebuilt one and put a platinum in it and it came with main bearings , good luck with it 👍😁
I just ordered two Trucker Dan t-shirts. Happy your back working!!
Thanks for watching
Glad you are getting back on the road. Thanks for sharing and explaining the rebuild on your engine
Thanks for watching
Glad you’re back running again, sounds like you made a good investment .
I’m so glad to hear your truck is fixed and driving well. My parents always said you get what you paid for! The decision to go with a experienced CAT dealer with a talented mechanic, was so wise.
Peace of mind is a great thing. Now you have warranties covering your truck, possible better gas mileage with a turbo, will provide many safe miles for you and your truck.
God speed, glad you are back, thank you Foley and Dorsey trailers.
Glad to hear that whistle again Dan. Good luck with rebuild, i'm sure it's a good one.
Thanks for watching
Happy to see you back on the road. Safe driving
Thanks for watching
Glad to see you up and going again thanks for the breakdown on everything.
You got a good deal. That engine should last a long time. You basically got an in frame and an over head at the same time. You were probably due for most of that anyway. Just on the road wasn't in your plan I'm thinking. You will make it back in work really soome. You work pretty hard and have a good dispatcher that keeps you busy.
Since returning to the high road I am glad that we will be able to enjoy working days again
That engine compartment is so clean,looks like old hotrod
SOUNDS SO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT THERE ARE STILL HONEST SHOPS OUT THERE!!! AND YOU FOUND ONE!!!! GREAT LUCK!!!! DON'T THINK YOU WILL NEED IT, YA HAD A GOOD HONEST MECHANIC!
wow not cheap, but worth it got to keep those wheels rolling now to pay the bills, good luck from Bonny Scotland.
Man! $26,000! Pretty dang good considering it's a CAT, and all the money you've made and mileage you've driven.
Thanks for watching
What is your other truck worth now? Maybe sell it off and put towards the repair
The joys of operating machinery. It's not if, it's when they are going to cost you money. I have a Scania and multiple tractors and farm implements, never ending. An organised person would keep a record of repairs and maintenance schedules! Maybe I should do that. Cheers Dan. ( From NZ )
Thanks for watching
I seen you running across 270 yesterday. Good to see the wheels turning again 👍🏼
It wasn’t him
Welcome back, Dan. Glad to see you back on the road!
I am genuinely happy to see you back on the road, Dan! I have really missed your videos and it's so nice to see that "Hi Theresa" note again :-)
Hope you get nothing but good loads, and hopefully spring is just around the corner :-)
Great job!! Beautiful engine work! You can hear that turbo whistle beautifully...
Keep that baby running! Gotta make up that loss..! By the way, I love your truck, nothing better on planet earth than a 379 Pete with a CAT ....a match made in heaven....
I put it like this anything u need to pay to keep your livelihood intact and going smooth is well worth it and all of us drivers know this industry is far from cheap tolls fuel insurance maintenance never ends and it never goes down in price!!
You are a priceless recource. Thank you!
Glad you’re back at it! Safe travels driver.
HI Dan! Glad you are back on the road again. Also glad my fellow Missourians took such great care of you. I live in Moberly MO, which is in the north central part of the state. Looking forward to more excellent videos from one of my favorite drivers.
Thanks for watching
Sounds good, Dan, no point cutting corners on a job like that.
Glad to see you back up and rolling again onto another million miles 👍
Thanks for watching
Glad everything worked out for you. I’m sure you’re happy to be back on the road.
It's pretty exciting to get A new rebuild. I believe you made the best decision for your circumstances. The truck still looks awesome and that Dorsey trailer really sets it off.
id get that radiator done soon before it goes to leaking......play it safe you've made a pretty good investment protect it!
Hope the rebuild gets u better mileage
Me too
Thanks for watching
We’ll find out soon!
About 5 is all that Cat is gonna get. Maybe a tick over but it’s a Cat. Not known for fuel mileage. Known for their power and dependability. When looking for a truck when you tip the hood if the engine isn’t yellow just close it back and walk away.
The hidden beauty of rebuilding that motor is you buy yourself a bunch more years of service without having to deal with the emissions nonsense associated with new trucks. Thanks for the video, Dan. Interesting and that rebuilt motor sure looks purrdy!
That is the best truck ever built.
Wow, the web site and articles look great. I will be ordering a few things for sure. Nice to see you back on the road.
Thanks for shopping lol and
Thanks for watching
I used to have NMC Cat in Omaha do alot of my rebuilds. Of course I had rebuilt engines on standby to do motor swaps was my shop foreman's idea. Just load an engine on a gooseneck trailer and haul it to an independent shop to have it swapped.
about the axle when you got towed. the gearbox is cooled by the oil, there is no water or anything else that will do the job. No oil means overheating, thats point 1. Next is, you need the oil in the gearbox to keep anything running smoothly. If there is no pump or oil pressure in the gearbox, youll damage the box instantly. This is the reason why they put the axle of. We in germany do have 4x2 drives, just one axle on the drive side, thats standard. If you get towed in germany, they disamble the driveshaft all time to keep the wheels spinning while the gearbox is out of order.
That ain't a bad price Dan for that rebuild, 4 year warranty, I say it was a good deal. Cleveland Brothers Cat near me would have been $30 thousand all day long.
Great to see you back on the road Dan. Keep up the good work. Safe travels.
Thanks for watching
Hi Dan bit of good discount 👍🏻That CAT sound sweet now after the rebuild. That's always good having the same guy working on your truck. Keep safe and happy trucking 😎🇬🇧
Quite frankly I would have guessed a lot more than you paid. You did well. Glad to see your back on the road
Thanks for watching
Should be set for a lot of repair free money making miles -- and a new non-DEF engine - Schmidt watches your channel too and his W9 is 21 years young - both good trucks with value
Thanks for watching
You are a Super trucker. Great job keeping old Pete out there. On the job!
Thanks for watching
Well ya got peace of mind for awhile now, it's like a new truck, good to have ya back rollin, stay safe looking forward to your adventures.
Hi Dan, thats not bad cost. Glad it got done and your back working . what a layover huh? lol If the truck is in great shape, why not? Can't wait for the next vid there, take care and take it easy and slow.
Just my 2 cents, but I’d put a new harmonic balancer on that motor after doing a full rebuild. Not totally necessary, but definitely worth the time. Give that crank a new feel with one.
BLESSINGS to you and your family nice to see you back on the road again..
What a fantastic rebuild and the best possible shop, well worth every penny, order up some Nord Lock washers and you’ll never lose bolts, great video back to work,, great service explaining Dan thank you
Hi Dan. Glad you took the Cat to Vet. Now she´s spinning!
Not much home time for a few months!! Run hard but run safe.
Glad to see you back up and running. That turbo sounds great
I think we need a contest on the turbo. Thirty seconds of video on say the old turbo and thirty seconds on the new turbo and see who can identify the turbo (new or old) in the video, by just the sound alone!
I used to do inframes on 3406 cats and 550 cats for 5 grand with u the truck owner buying the parts plus u would get a warranty glad to see the prices have gone up on inframes.
If I remember right....the GREEN coolant is Silicon based....that forms a n insulating barrier on the engine block walks and builds up inside the radiator . The RED is non-silicon based.
I think it was Great idea to Rebuild the Engine on your Peterbilt. Great 👍 Investment doing it. 👍
Glad too see the ole Peterbilt and you back out on the road working again Dan.Should maybe get a little better fuel mileage maybe now after the break in.
I hope so
Thanks for watching
Glad you’re back on your feet Mr. Dan! 💪🏾
Glad to see you out & about. Stay safe & waiting on the next adventure
Good to see ya back STD. Take care.
When I rebuilt my 3406B CAT it was about $18k in parts.
Our shop just did an inflame on my C16, biggest hurdle was getting the head bolts out, 1 inch gun couldn't get them out, mechanic said it took about 2000 pounds of force to get them out, luckily none broke, about 16 grand for a Platinum kit!
Glad to see you back and on the road Dan. Hope everything holds together well for ya!
Glad you got your truck fixed
Thanks for watching
Yes no oil flow pump is driven by the inputshaft on transmision. Same is true for all vehicles that don't have a transfer case to put in neutral.
Dan, glad you are back in the truck and on the highway. Be safe brother.
I’ll watch a bit later tonight Dan. Hope all is well.
Look at the next higher torque rating 18 speed, and shift it like a 13, if that turns your crank. Better longevity rating on the 18, by all the drivers I know.
Best wishes all
Hello from Western Australia. Good for another 1,000,000 Kms. The rebuild in AUD would be around $33,000. We really enjoy seeing your travels in the US. Have a good year. Rob Jones
Makes alot of sense....resale value...those trucks without a rebuild are selling for $50k all day long. 👍
I love how Cat calls it a rebuilt without replacing the cam and main bearings. What a joke. Without replacing those components, it's a repair.
TRUE (IN MY OPINION)
You did good cat in Florida quoted me 28000 with platinum and new turbo, no cam, rockers, oil cooler and so on. Might have to go to Missouri
Good luck with the rebuild Dan it really sounds good. stay safe.
I know it’s not pleasant to lay up and have all this expense but now that it’s done it is very satisfying and makes you feel like you have a brand new truck. Good luck my friend and enjoy the ride.
Congrats on the new mechanicals. Excellent decision to invest in that Pete versus the 2013. Pre-emissions trucks have value. I have a deleted motor - saved me a fortune in repairs and added value! Look forward to your future videos.
Thanks for watching
YOU DID GOOD
Good call and glad all of that is behind you!
Looks good Dan. Glad you’re back on the road brother. Be safe out there👍👍👍
I'm happy for you that your truck is up and running good luck with your new motor pretty much like your brand new truck again
Sounds like you got a great deal from a quality shop who really care about their customers.
I'm with you Dan that ol girl is worth investing in. Just about as good as new. I'm glad the shop you used turned out to be a good one.
Glad you're back up and Rollin... thanks for all you do
Thanks for watching
Dan, I’m sorry you had to rebuild your engine, but you can rest easy, you’ve got one hell of an engine now and will get thousands of great miles ahead. Looking forward to seeing your continuing adventures. 👍😀
Welcome back super trucker dan!
Thanks for watching
Glad all is good.....
You done well, when you are this deep in the motor, only a fool would roll the dice and half ass anything. You should have years and miles of trouble free operation. In addition not to mention no check engine light for emissions. Hammer down Dan!
And then there was the NICE motel. Glad you are up and running.
Cats are dependable motors, but they charge out the yazoo for parts.
Glad you're back at it STD. Sounds like you managed to get a good deal with a good guy at the shop! Let's go make a few bucks!! Jim.
That 6NZ will be good for another million plus miles now
Glad you are back in action. Thanks for sharing the cost and details of the engine rebuild. Stay safe.
