I've subscribed to this channel 3 times now, but for some reason yt always unsubscribes me... it's like they don't want me learning anout cats and jakes 😂

He brought the battery charger out for the cold start. He really do love us.

Education is the categorical retention of memorable and informative observances, not a purchase. Thanks for doing this. You made some of us a little smarter today. Cheers.

Don’t sell yourself short, you know your shit. From one diesel mechanic to another, I’d be proud to work with ya. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and yours sir. Shame we won’t see a 90’s hair band cover band bus get tortured this year at the holidays, but a Jake rebuild will suffice. Keep er between the mustard and the mayo. Gotta say, Peg will be pissed- there were 0 cans of Cosby in a can used on that old start cold start.

Came from watching a wagon building channel to see an engine brake be rebuilt. Ill never do either, but it is so fascinating.

l am 79 years old now....Been around some stuff like kess a few times.....l sure do like to watch you work & by the way good camera work... Thanks....l am Sub'ed.....!!

im confident ill never rebuild a jake but i still watch these videos all the way through.

That old Ferd has a very slight exhaust leak lol. Great explanation during the rebuild. My Dad used to say to learn something new every day & I just did. Thanks for sharing.

Your No BS approach is oFF the ChArTs. Excellent video one and all.

I always wondered how Jakes worked and watching you tear down and rebuild really helped me to understand how they function. Thanks for the great video.

Watching from the 876 🇯🇲🇯🇲, always look forward to your videos 👌🏿

Some of my best teachers were uneducated. Thanks for making a video .

I absolutely do not know a damn thing about diesel engines. I do thoroughly enjoy watching your videos of rebuilds, and your crazy shenanigans. Love watching you blow up, and destroy old semi working engines. Keep the cool videos coming brother.

You may be a hillbilly, but you're a very gifted one who takes pride in his craft. You and Jonathan W. should get together, I bet you guys would have a 1000 hp steam power 3406 mounted in a rat rod Peterbuilt in two days!

I know you think working on these engines is boring stuff. I see them as interesting. You have a skill, and I enjoy watching your work.

So I know these videos are super boring for you to make, but this is the kind of stuff I like to see you do!

Peanut gallery observation: What a complicated work of art contraption, and this is just one part of the overall engine. I'm amazed at the engineering minds and expert machinists that made these Jake brake parts. Dangggg!

Straight into it that’s the part I love about this channel.

"Yup, I'll take 'em!" Damn, I hate when that happens.🤣😂

Appreciate the video enjoy the straightforward no bs style

Your parents should be proud of you! You do excellent work and to the point.

Love the way these old truck start up ..reminds me of the old WW2 aircraft starting up

Probably zero chance of me ever doing these. But it sure was fun watching you do them. Keep the vidyas coming bud, us smooth brains love them

My 800k miles 3046b starts on the frist turn dead cold. So glad it does.

Another fantastic video. You should give yourself more credit, your commentary and explanations are superlative.

I can watch these vids all day. You're an amazing talent to watch

I like the fact that you put care and attention to detail into both the serious work and the screwing around.

i love how that charging lead starts smoking at the beginning.

Occasionally,I'm tempted to fast forward. But then I realize I may miss some priceless KT commentary and humor

Only recently found your channel and have gone back and watched every video. I love the way you never rush and just do it perfectly. Some people just have the knack of making KZfaq videos an absolute pleasure to watch. Much love from the UK and thanks for the great content 👍

I said "that's what she said" outloud to myself like hundreds of times while I watched this video. 10/10.

I still watch every one of your uploads!

New to the diesel tech field, family has run a lot of these 3406/C15s over the years and I always wondered what went into these things! Awesome video as always, loved learning something new!!

love all your videos and just wana tell you that i’ve been in the trucking business for 32 years and the knowledge you have puts you in a class with not very many other people nowadays. have a very merry christmas and look forward to your next video👍

Nothing like a cool morning, fresh air, sunshine and a cup of coffee and the smell of diesel exhaust exhaust on a cold start of a Cat Diesel engine, it just doesn’t get any better , never gets old. Marry Christmas and happy festivus for the rest of us🤪😃👍

I like they way u show people how to do things it straight forward and easy and u make me understand what u are talking about I’m from fergus Ontario Canada and l love your show keep up the good work dude

I’m always amazed by your knowledge of this stuff. Great video

You could have posted this two weeks earlier! I just rebuilt mine, and couldn't find a good video on this anywhere. So i struggled through. Wasnt really that hard, if it comes out one way, the new ones need to go back in that way. But i was alittle unsure of myself going in. Great video.

Hi Jamie from Australia, thanks for the video, this and your other videos on C15 stuff has been invaluable, it's saved me money on taking things to the shop to get done, thanks very much for your detailed videos 👍🏻🇺🇸🇦🇺

sometimes it's a noncertified hillbilly that's called for and other times you need a certifiable hillbilly, in your case, same person different activity 😆

Thank you for your videos hope you have a great Christmas.

Don't know shit from shinola, but I love watching this guy work. So matter of fact about it.

Excellent presentation as always!

Thanks for taking the time and patience to bring us all along. Another great video!! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Kc

We need more videos! We need more! I live for this channel! 🤘

Great job, keeping things cleaned and organized during the job. Merry Christmas! Love your videos.

I just worked out why I like your videos so much... You do not fill them with shit music, and you know about Caterpillars better than anyone I know.

Thanks for taking the time.

Another great how-to vid. Awesome to have someone showing this. Us Hill-Billy's can do whatever we set our minds to!!

Man o man, another great video, never get tired of watching you work, keep em coming!!!

Definitely my favorite channel right now. Learning so much!

I don't know why but everytime you post up a video I chuckle a few times. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the video. It was a nice refresher course!! Keep up the good work.

A great informative video, many thanks for sharing this fascinating process mate 👍🏻

Really enjoy your videos an thanks for the knowledge you share

Outstanding video! I believe you’re in a class all of your own! Keep up the good work!

Love your videos, thank you for sharing with us and God bless!

Thank you for the step-by-step instructions very informative a lot of guys will give you before and after shots and nothing in between

Just found your channel. Like what your doing. Enjoyed this video where you show yourself working. You explain things a little different than some other channels. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This was an awesome how to, I always wanted to see how jakes work, thank you so much bro, keep up the good work, Happy Holidays!

…great to watch ~ excellent exposure. Good stuff KT, thanks. You’ve got very good hands. 👊

…most informative and very clear on ‘all the tricks’ !! Really great stuff. 👊

One of my favorite channels by the way! You’re a great tecaher

Good job Hill Billy.

Loved the video! I had jaks on the 8v71 on the GMC bus we redid (inside and out) for a close friend of mine. I never have had jaks apart. Put power steering and an allison 740 in it to make it a lot more user friendly for my friend. Gave the 8v71 a once over including running the overhead. They used that bus for about 8 years with minimal problems mainly radiator, fan belt, and wheel bearing issues.

Good to see you posting video.Like watching you work you take no bull shit you know what your doing

You do a really great Vid ..very knowledgeable, well explained ,and just straight up no bullshit ..Ive learned so much

Mind-boggling Amazing stuff. I love watching this channel.

Love your videos! Really well done. Thank you!!

you finally diving into mechanical cats i can hardly wait

Love your videos. You sound like a young guy but have that old timer work attitude where everything was done right the first time. You are a master of your craft.

Good work! Keep going! Ron..

made my day that you posted again

Well done

Thank u for this vid. I’ve been wanting to re-fresh my Jake’s. Can’t make it any easier to follow then this… thx..!

I learned 500 year ago "When in doubt numbers go out...." ..." just keep in mind which way is out."

They are very easy to work on. Good work from you yet again. You must have made parole ok cause we’re getting a new video. Merry Xmas ☘️

I really enjoy your videos. Don’t know how much experience you have, you seem pretty young but I’ve watched your videos a while now and you know your shit. You’re very methodical and have what people call ”want to”, so you could probably do anything you set your mind too. Keep it up and I’ll be watching!

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing

I doubt I will ever have a need for any of this shit you're working on. I do know if I ever needed some rebuilt Jakes or anything heavy iron, you, sir would be my guy. The knowledge of all things Cat is simply amazing. Attention to detail is flawless.

Great demonstration. Thanks

Really Awesome Video! Always great content and always enjoyable to watch and learn something New! Wish You and Your Family a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years! 😎👍🙏🏻

You're very good at what you do

Excellent video as usual. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Great video mate. Like the IPD product placement at 2.30. Like in the movies.

Enjoy watching rebuilding of the jakes.
