I’m trying to get in contact with you bud
@@mr_mingo_county2802 what’s up did you email
@@Gentryandsons wow that engine is absolutely amazing looking glad you're about to be back in you're PETE. Can't wait to see Johnny cash on the road driv,ah.
The chain is the best way to do the breaks
I’ve tried I’m not sure if I’m getting the right one
I am 69 years old and ivermectin finally knocked COVID out of my life. It kept coming back but now it’s been gone for a couple months and I am feeling good.
tim i am 82 years old and drove over the road for 65 years and you probably dont realize it but your engine looks a little, like one of the best diesel engines that ever went down the road. talking about allis chambers, same color and stance. it was only for a couple of years back in the late 50s early 60s. but it was a hoss, just thought you might like a little road history.
How many miles u got under your belt?
Thanks for all the miles driv,ah appreciate ya
We called those engines "Purple Al" and as you say they were a hoss. Exhaust and turbo were on the left and intake on the right. All it took was an allen wrench to turn the fuel to it which was part of their downfall. Thought I'd add that bit of info. Owner operator 53 years.
@@haydenphillips1705 Safe to estimate about 7 million based on yearly averages
@@keithking1484 I was told the crankshaft couldn't handle it
Hope you and Braxton make a full recovery and safe travels
Tim, sorry to hear you and Braxton are sick. Prayers for a quick recovery. Safe travels.
Its them damn vapes!
@@famouslocal0516 i hope you arent this low iq
Use a infrared thermometer and go down both sides of the exhaust and you will find the one that’s not hot enough take the cold one out or swap it then you know you don’t have to waste no money that’s what I do and I work for caterpillar for 30 years so if you ever want any information on the caterpillar all you Gotta do is text me and I’ll help you anyway I can I don’t care if I’ve got to drive that freaking Tennessee to help you I love your channel I love that you have your kid with you all the time you hell of a guy great content
Just Awesome Tim hate to hear you have Covid again but you guys are family to me I’ve told you before the government yanked my medical card then my cdl’s I’m 55 been driving for 35 years and now I’m disabled and can no longer drive and you guys keep me going thanks my dad was a driver too I lost him in 2015 to watch you your son and your dad work together just brings back so many memories when me and dad were stretched out across west Texas in his 1984 359 back in the late 80’s thanks again🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️✝️✝️
Hey, FYI that mower engine was built in Maryville MO. Sounded like cylinder #2 valves are a bit loose. Love your channel and that you get to make memories with your Dad and Brax. Praying you kick this Covid.
Great looking engine. Thanks for being the father you are to Braxton, more kids need fathers like you to bring them upright!
Just want you to know how much I love watching your videos and we appreciate you all a lot
Wish to the good Lord that I knew you back when I was still able to drive, It would have been a blessing to drive for a good Christian family owned and operated company.Ive pretty much done it all , from oversized loads ( which I truly enjoyed ) , then flatbed hauling steel coils to oil field pipe, to reefer loads to explosives to military loads for Uncle Sam. I helped set up over a hundred trucks to move military equipment out of Fort Campbell during the spin up for the first gulf war. My health got a little blinky on me and I finished my time with containers up and down the east coast and Midwest... But all good things come to an end...I got to see every state but Alaska and Hawaii, just could not figure out how to get a rig to float to Honolulu haha 😂 .....I really enjoy your videos and it's easy to see that your truly proud of your son....and rightly so , he seems truly eager to learn it all from you....way to go👍☕
That post on that injector can easily be repaired. If you have a stud welder for pulling dents you can weld a threaded stun on with one of those. Another way to fix it would be to drill the center of the stud and tap it with a #4-40 tap and screw it in.
Tim you have to rest. You keep pushing and not settling down and you’ll never get to see your kids grow up. It could be you keep getting Covid because you never let yourself heal from the first time you got it. Take care of yourself my friend. Your family needs you and I need ya too. Your videos have shown me a side of trucking I never existed. And I really like it when the good guys wins. And you are a good guy.
It’s a nice tidy engine and then you’ve painted it all up and rebuilt it
Praying for you and your son brother 🙏 beautiful engine and truck glad to see a man still teaching his son how to work hard in life to get what you want out of life. God bless your sir and your family. Man I love that truck can't wait to see her done.and running.
Praying for you and Braxton!
Yes Tim I totally agree with you on how to do a break job, it's two times faster and easier for that matter. Devan is just showing a man who is on the clock a slower way of doing it. Lol
Brax buddy. You should at least look at your dad when he’s trying to teach you something. He was not mad “ on the outside”. lol But I learned when I was younger it helps to learn the hard way but pay attention when your actually have someone care enough to take the time to show you the right way of doing thing. You remind me of myself when I was you age. Im jealous of you brax. Haha. Your lucky buddy. Just take all the knowledge you can get when people who care about you try to show you things. I always wanted to be in the trucking business but I lost my teacher. But hey I love you guys and all the videos you coming up with. Reminds me of younger days. Thanks gentry family. You guys rock. Hope my words got taking the right way. I don’t like typing/texting cause things sometimes get misunderstood. Thanks.
Prayers for you and Braxton to make a full recovery from covid. My greatest memories are learning and working with my dad who I lost in 05
Sorry for your loss brother
The CAT looks great Tim. You and your family are a great foundation for American Trucking.
Prayers for a fast recovery for you and little man!!!!
DAMN THAT ENGINE LOOKS OUTSTANDING!!!
I hope you and brax feels better i love watching you and brax videos safe travels prays for the family
THATS A REAL TRUCK, HOW TRUCKS SHOULD LOOK LIKE. CHEERS TIM .GOOD JOB.
My prayers are to y'all and family take care off you hope y'all get well
If you put aluminum wheels on the outside and a steel wheel on the inside it will break the center around the inside wheel around the wheel studs, specially on that spread Axel, I learned this the hard way
Hopefully you guys get the feeling better soon my wife got it twice. Last time was about 2 months ago and is still suffering lung problems because of it
If she got the vax well theres your uncensored ban-able clue.Eithet way you can get Ivermectin now over the counter from Tennessee now.Always good to have just in case
Then engines looking sweet can’t wait to see it in the truck Great job Tim and Brax 👍🏼
It's those damn GREMLINS I'm telling ya😆😆😆
Hi Tim love the look of the motor the Peterbilt will be awesome can't wait to see it going down the road.
Everyone working hard getting it done,Tim priming the cat engine,great job everyone!
Great work guys hope you and Brax make a speedy recovery ,keep on trucking
Motor is looking great!!! Awesome job can't wait to see these beautiful trucks back on the road!!! Awesome job and great content!!!!
Can’t wait to see the Pete back on the road
Hope you and braxton get well soon i would love to see y'all rebuild a cl 9000
Good morning Tim when I look at KZhead this morning I seen that gentry and Son’s and the company had put a new video out and from the looks from the thumbnail I couldn’t wait until I watch this morning before I Started my shift at work it Left me Speechless wow man great job on the paint job you couldn’t have done it without the group of guys you work with at your shop
Hi Tim I know how it feels to have covid more than once I have had covid 5 times each time not as bad as the last time I will pray you and Braxton get over it quick.
The C19 is still with us, hope you and Braxton get well soon👌
I hope you get better man . Love everything you do
I hope you both feel better. That engine color looks great.
Can’t wait for the Pete to be done and that first drive and trip with it!
The engine looks bad ass. Can't wait to see it sitting back in the Pete. Get better soon.
I see where you get your coolness. Your Dad is a really cool guy.
Brax always chilling with his dad brings back great memories I spent growing up with mine and not to much I don't know how to do.
A hundred hours to get the moter like that looks very worthwhile, it would not look out of place in a rod on a mile sprint race. Great job guys 👏
I’m learning how to work on a diesel little by little by watching your videos
The motor look awesome those colors go good together ready to see it in the truck and hear it run I hope to get me a 379 one my day drove one for 45 yrs I grew up in a peterbilt 379 I was almost born in a 359 daddy almost didn’t make it to the hospital in time with momma but we made it I love those truck to buddy a lot.
I'm no professional and have only ever painted with rattle cans but what I do know is 85% of any paint job is prep, the rest is a mix of skill and paint quality haha plenty of gentle wet sanding between coats will sort out any imperfections 👌
I hope that you and ur son feel better good luck with it take it easy
Engine looks great Tim I have been following your you tube channel since you and Bruce became friends and you bought the marine cabover semis
Awsome hands on for yr son learning mechanics is in his blood nice motor with black block y wont see leaks as well as Cat yellow pnt nice job
Tim ur great dad this world need more dad's like u in this world cuz u let Braxton involved in the company that's great
Tim if you happen to see this, you can take apart the alternator and ac pump and paint or powdercoat them. I did it on my duramax. The alternator you just need to unsoldier the 3 connections and resoldier them when you put it back. Literally you can use the soldier on the connection. The ac pump you slide out the housing and slide back in. There are some youtube videos on how to do them. I did a brand new alternator for mine and powdercoated it in my garage. Keeps it nice and clean looking as opposed to the aluminum housing that eventually gets dull.
Roll On Tennessee Tim, and Family!!! Get er Done!!!
Nicest truck on the road right there. I started out on a 1998 379 but I have a Detroit in mine and it's on it 2nd motor I still have it an I'll never sell it I'll keep rebuilding it if I have to love what you do on your channel Tim
Wow that engine looks great. Larry better watch out. Enjoy watching the channel thank you.
The engine looks great. Now you need a black carbon turbo blanket for the rear housing to cover the rusty look.
The engine looks sweet... throw some chrome valve covers on thery 2 cents 😎 keep up the good work.
That engine looks great man that engine and an in 14 Cummins can’t be beat
Tim dry ice blast that AC compressor it’ll make it look brand-new then you can sand prime and paint it black
Engine looking great, Lots of time out the rig but you will have a great runner to move those larger loads.
Hope you and your son are feeling better and get over it soon!
I'm barely getting to this video hope you got better, and take care of your Buddy!
Looks amazing. You did a fantastic job.
if you are looking for drivers I will drive for you. love your content aswell Tim you must be proud of Braxton learning from such a young age.
I heard there was a mass shooting in Chattanooga not sure how far from but it’s getting insane in every state lately smh prayers up to everyone involved in that horrible incident 🙏🏼🙏🏼 and another great video Tim can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and your family man 🙏🏼
Good morning to you and your family,Hope you’re day is going great, we are going to Oregon to get our brakes done on our truck before we head east
Thank you for the video, good loocking engine after you paint.
Really nice cat engine you guys did a good job nice paint job Tim good job buddy appreciate the videos Tim 👍
The engine looks amazing can't wait to see it in your truck
Tim, you guys should help @Bruce Wilson get the OG Blue collar back in tip too shape and painted!
Love your videos mate keep on trucking all the way from England 💪🏻💪🏻
Love the two colors on the motor looking good the tim truck looks awesome to
Tim love the channel.. love the content brotha.. 1 of my favorite channels right here
Simply the best looking engine I’ve ever seen . Carl uk 🇬🇧
Nothing wrong with those old 7.3! They run forever!
That engine came out looking puuuurtty. Keeping my fingers crossed you get the power out of it that you want.
Keep up the hard work fellas!
Yada Yada Yada, the whole 9 yards, 10,000 horsepower and no dyno!!!
Love absolutely love the paint job
dashcam is the way to go for a ton of reasons. break checkers. road rage .accidents can't go wrong
I agree but why follow to close behind a vehicle? Knowing that you could end someone's life in a instant? Doesn't make sense to me. Even in my car i leave enough space to stop safely I brake checked a truck the other day because once again following so close behind me lets say he had to take some evasive action to keep from hitting me. After that he learned to back off it. People dont have common sense anymore.
@@Texas21Texas you get some people who over take you just to hit the breaks I've seen it a ton of times .. tailgating is a different story altogether mate..
@@jeffreybamford1171 oh, thank you for that.
@ron gerhart wait soo you gonna talk and say all that on fallowing too closely and all and then go on too say someone was behind you fallowing too close so you brake checked them???? Your a reallllll good driver and one someone should definitely listen too on driving. You do know if you do that crap and that person has a dash cam your getting the ticket and are at fault even thought they where fallowing alittle too close.. it’s called wreck less driving on your part… maybe learn too pull off and let them go around you or slow down too the speed limit so they will pass on around you.. but brake checking someone is stupid and very good way too get yourself killed or lord be someone sees you do it and that person u checked wrecks and died your gonna be charged for there death.
I like the color combination you picked look sweet thanks for the videos I always a good time
Hey Jeffrey and sons I view your content love the videos appreciate you when I get a chance one day this week I am going to order some T-shirts and caps off your website I see you doing actually well and I'm hoping you are over the covid virus I saw that video about 3 days ago keep up the good work and I appreciate the content
Take care Tim. Get well soon.
Cool video thanks Tim
Oh noo hope you feel better Tim.
34:20 probably overheated and seized a valve, which bent the the pushrod and then hammered the lifter/lifter bore, causing it to stick. that's pretty common on mower engines with blocked airflow, dirt/debris buildup or rodent nests.
Man I got shirt and let me tell ya absolutely love it. Will be ordering more in the near future. Great video
Tim you did a great job on that engine it looks amazing that cat plate will look great in Black I'm so proud of you bro in so many ways and I hate it that you caught covid again my goodness and Mama Gentry she is a beast that lady Works her tail off all y'all do I'm trying to get it together it's rough living on disability but I'm going to get me some of those shirts when I can they are badass y'all have a great one and hope to see you soon💯💪🏽💪🏽❤👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😎👊🏽🗯🗯💥Merica🌍
you have the best vids
Hope you and Braxton get to feel better!!
good evening, my name is Paulo, my son is called Bruno, we are from Brazil, we admire your work, see you later.
That paint scheme is 🔥
Very informative, videos and I just bought some merchandise from gentry and sons..keep coming with the great content..oh..nice blue collar tee 👕
When do we get to see more CABOVER content..lol still waiting to see the airforce truck finally finished and the yellow freightliner. I love all your videos but what got me hooked on your channel was the airforce truck after you first bought it. Love that thing. My other favorites are any of your other cabovers, the freightliner classic, w900 and of course the famous peterbilt. :)
I was thinking how about come to tenn and spend the day with Tim and son see how you day go and bye the way this is a bad ass video keep them coming 👌
If there was a place around close that does dry ice blasting. It would make that alternator and AC pump look like brand new.
I hope you and Braxton get to feeling better very soon. By the way, I love my new Detroit T-shirt.
That's one good looking motor another great paint job ❤️ it
Dam Tim that sucks man. I hope you and Brax feel better soon and get back home safe
