This guy is like a few other channels on YT where actual work is done so he doesn't get ALL the truck loving population just the ones that either work on them or want to learn how. The channels with big sub counts do goofy kid shit and are basically like bob the builder channels. They have other people do the real work and then do cosmetic stuff themselves and the truck never sees real commercial use. Ezra is not one of those, coming from someone that does this too, he's the real deal. Honestly I have no idea why anybody would start a YT channel nowadays with all the BS, especially when fools like whistling weezul and Broooce Wilson are considered "truck" channels. But Ezra deserves a few hundred thousand so at least it'll pay for his time filming.

Foul language is a vital part of any transmission or clutch install. And if you are doing both it can really get colorful. You even have the tendency to create new and unheard of before ones...

You need a set of 6-8“ long line up bolts to put your flywheel on and off. Same for the clutch and transmission. Using those line up bolts make it so much easier. Also you can’t get your fingers stuck under the flywheel in the bell housing.

@phillipchambers8487 3 жыл бұрын

I agree 100% my Uncle taught me that nifty lil Trick many years ago. I keep long Line Up Bolts for about every big Truck Job (Rear Ends, Power Dividers, Trans, etc) in my Toolbox, and treat them like they are the Holy Grail.i never let anyone use them, borrow them, etc. If I even catch anyone looking at them, I am on them like white on rice. Lol Their not the easiest Bolts in the world to find.

My boss asked me if I could handle an 18 speed. I said sure. 13, 15, 15 over. All the same I thought. He had bought a brand new 379 Pete. 1989. It was his personal truck, but he only drove it from the dealership. I took a load of coffee beans to Nashville, didn't sleep a wink, all night. Nervous about the truck. 18 speed is a simple, wonderful transmission. My favorite. Enjoyed the video! Great job !
