In this video, I replace the exhaust manifold...after many attempts to extract the old bolts. I also fix the hood and get the truck inspected and ready to replace the international 4700.
You are at the top of my list. You are calm, reserved, patient, and you have no stupid gimmick, phrases or music. And you make long videos! Checks all the boxes for me at least! Cheers
thanks
well he does have music sometimes lol
100% agreed!
I applaud you for your work ethic and enthusiasm to get these trucks and equipment working like new. Great job Jesse
Really impressed with how the headlight repair turned out. From the start it looked rough
Started out looking like bride of Frankenstein!
Persistent is another word for stubborn, and it was surely needed here - well done
I had to pause the video at 4:18 and give you a thumbs up for your beautiful little driver. What a delightful smile. OK, back to the show.
I actually cheered quietly when you managed to extract that last manifold bolt! What a massive personal achievement you have managed to reach for yourself and your family and business by getting that truck up to a standard where it has passed inspection. Total congratulations.

Same! 😆
I like your wrenching jobs at home. Background noises from your kids playing. Noises from your animals, doing whatever they do.
Growing up, stepdad thought that some tools were just too dangerous for us kids... no welder... or grinders.... Sure we knew what a wire wheel was, and a plumbers butane torch... but we couldn't try the weld a nut on solution... it was drill it out and retap every time. I am so glad to see you teaching your kids and letting them participate. I really REALLY wish someone had the patience to teach us welding earlier... I was 25 before I knew a grinder or a welder.
You did such a good job on the hood repair! Also I applaud you for your patience with the exhaust manifold stud removal!
Hats off to you Jesse, didn't think anyone could pull the fender / light surround back from the dead, WELL DONE SIR! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
At 4:05 your kids reaction to the horn was priceless. Glad you got that one on vid.
Truck repair/ mechanical videos, are my thing. House building, excavating, plumbing, stuff like that I don't watch, but you do a good job on these repair vids.
Great video Jesse. That light housing looked seriously unrepairable. But you did top tier work on it. Looks great like Andrew’s when he did his old truck.
And no use of chain saw......
thanks 2 zipties and bondo (was once pink). peace
UNBELIEVABLE. Great job Jesse. Such skill, patience and ingenuity. Thanks for the content.
You impressed me twice. First, how you got the manifold bolts out without throwing tools across the yard and having to bleep out every third word, I'll never know. Congrats on your extreme level of patience. Second, I didn't think there was any hope for rebuilding that hood and you managed to pull that off as well. Nice work.
You are such a good father to your kids. I love seeing that you take the time no matter how busy you are to play with them, teach them how to do things, or let them help you do work. Reminds me of good memories with my father when I was growing up. Don't take these moments for granted because they are only young once. The next thing you know you blink and they are all grown up.
Master Engine Technician meets Body Shop Foreman meets Green Acres (farm sounds in background) Just waiting for “Lisa Douglas to announce the hotcakes are ready.” (Jesse, you weren’t born yet!) I agree with the other comments. Your expertise and patience is truly remarkable. You'd make a wonderful teacher but you already wear so many hats.
You've got the patients of Jobe. Your an artist with the fiberglass and Bondio
Man, I think I was more excited to see that last exhaust bolt come loose than even you. I was hootin' and a hollarin' out loud when I saw it really start turning. Didn't have much room left for welding it. SWEEET!
Nice work! The legendary Muller patience is impressive.
That Sir was one educating video. The body work and the engine repair was spot on. I have come to the conclusion you can build and repair anything that comes you way.
I must admit, Jesse, if you had all the right parts for the job this video was going to be much shorter...so in a way I am happy....because i got to watch a longer version of the video. But i honestly hope you had the right parts so that you get it over and done with so that you could have continued with other pressing matters at hand. Your patience is beyond words...I learn so much from your work ethics...honestly.. Thank you for putting your videos out there
3:30 me showing up to watch jesse's videos like I know anything about whats going on and can do the repairs myself, also I have a boot on my arm.
I'm impressed by your delightful child who appears quite intelligent, curious and happy.
Way to go Jesse. Always enjoy your content. Respect to you and your hard working and loving family. You could see your boys eyes light up behind the wheel. Pretty cool
The truck is now a useful tool to help prosper you and your family. That is more important than looks. Thanx for another excellent video. God bless.😃👍🔧🪛🔨
Yes I like this guy, because he’s not afraid to use a wrench. Over an impact wrench or a regular ratchet. As long as he does it right , don’t be afraid to turn a wrench.
I have deep respect for your patience and staying calm when something fails after 5-6 times and finally does ..... 👍👍👍👍
@1:17:00 - That used to be my service environment. I was Metso factory trained in Finland and worked on the portables like the LT-105 and that lineup. I drove an FL60 cab with a service body and crane. I traveled with a yellow lab named Althea. I would turn her loose in a rock quarry and tell her to "go find a stick" which would get a laugh out of the guys because there wasn't a tree in site. Old Althea ALWAYS came back with a piece of wood which she proceeded to lay around and chew to shreds. Pallet wood, branch, stump, something wooden.
49:00 My wife's a surgeon and she says you can work in her OR anytime. You have a good head on your shoulders. Keep it up!
Good advice: "you want to give it every thing you've got before you walk away."
Great job. I always learn a lot by watching how you do things.
That hood repair turned out mint. Nice work Jesse
Fibre Glass is amazing stuff. They do make whole car bodies out of it. Your work looks good and you showed the magic of working with it - patience. Thanks for sharing.
Ha!!!! As you know i am a huge fan and admirer. I especially like it when you include your family in the videos. Your boys are gonna grow up to be fine young men Jesse. You are setting as close to a perfect example for them as anyone could imagine. As multi talented of a young man as you are - your most important skill is that of being a great dad. Great video as usual young man.
thanks
6/18/22..just watched you do 2 very different but absolutely necessary projects: replaced yur exhaust manifold- incurring many frozen bolts 🔩 but overcoming the welded-like conditions of those bolts...then saw you sclupt/fiberglass & bondo-shape the right front headlight housing...matching the undamaged left side ! You are a man of many talents, great to watch you tackle your project with minimal supervision from your beautiful kids..that little red head of yours trying to drive & reach for that air horn strap...very warm & wonderful to see you bring them into these videos...Great stuff Jesse! Carry on Sir! Stay safe & keep yur videos comming!👍👍👍🛠🔧🧑🏭🧑🔧💪😊🍺
Great job on this one. I run and maintain a 91 International dump for my small business and have a lot of respect for folks who put the time in to keep old trucks and equipment going.
I love these repair videos. They are the ASMR for mechanics.
You got an alert kid there Jesse. He's sucking up information like a sponge.
Tip for fiberglass alignment: use hot glue and popsicle sticks for alignment. If you have plexiglass that works better, but it's not as cheap as the sticks. From the side you are not repairing apply the sticks with a little hot glue... Then repair the other side. Take off the hot glue and sticks and repair the other side.
Need cheap plexiglass? Find a discarded flat screen TV and take it apart for the plexiglass and recycle the rest. Takes less than 20 minutes. Older flat panels have thicker plexiglass.
I was thinking screw some wood to the back. Afew times I've wrapped some wood in plastic wrap and screw it in place whilst I get the structure back then just unscrew it and the wood pulls off. But hot glues a good idea.
Great video Jesse! For areas where you need to put fiberglass with no backing, I usually put aluminum sticky tape on the back side - it sticks to the surrounding area and has some rigidity to keep its shape until the fiberglass solidifies.
I'm glad you decided to fix the hood, it was very fun to watch you do it!
Great job, nice to see that inspection/registration sticker on it! 👍 That truck should be named "Frankenstein's Eye" because of all that stitching and patching...but it went really good! 🤣
Jesse looking good. Moving forward and up. Happy Father’s Day hope the family is doing well.👍🦾
I love these repair videos. There’s something so satisfying about keeping older equipment up and running Also Noah is such a cute and happy little guy
This was a nice video. Watching your diligence removing those manifold bolts and repairing the hood/headlight housing I was thinking that you had the "patience of Job" (a phrase from the Bible). Also I enjoyed hearing the red wing blackbirds in the background as you worked.
...TRUCKS ALWAYS NEED A LITTLE TLC BEFORE AN INSPECTION...LOL...GOOD ONE, KEEP SAFE..
Yess love the truck repair videos. Still waiting for you to dig into the white one.
You’re good at everything. Truly talented.
Well impressed with the Fender/hood/ light house repair Jesse. I love that you keep your videos real. Anyone can throw money at a problem or get someone else to fix things if they have lots of dosh.Most of us cannot afford that luxury and its great to see someone with real talant and a great skill set making it happen for themselves. I was very similar as a young man. Now I'm nearly 70 and I dont have money issues any more but - old habbits die hard. Looking forward for thenext one 👍🗽
thanks. yea even if you have the money it is nice to brush up on things when you can because you never know when you will be stuck on the side of the road where money and a cell phone might not do much for you
You've got to get a mini angle grinder and some follow disc. Every where fiberglass or bond goes has to ground. When you put fiberglass on paint it just comes loose. I'm not criticizing I applaud your effort. Get your self a DA sander and a viking air file and a mini vike. I'm old and I learned a long time ago sometimes you just have to have the right tools. Great video thanks.
Hey Jesse, that little boy is so cool. Good Work
Full props for the fibreglass repair, so satisfying
Next year Jesse open Corvette body shop. 😉 Why not? He seems to be able to do most anything.
You had a lot of perseverance in getting your outcome and you did a wonderful job
I shouldn’t be watching you battle broken manifold studs i should be down in the barn getting the one last broken off manifold bolt out of the crv, its such a royal pain. It’s inspiring to see a master of patience tho. I’m also in the middle of reading that book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. In the section about Gumption he talks about how necessary it is to walk away once a hang up or set back has started to drain you of your gumption. Persig says the internal setbacks involve Value traps, Muscle traps, and truth traps. The external setbacks involve out of sequence reassembly, intermittent failure, and parts problems. So many a ha moments in there. Stuff you definitely dealt with before but never heard it put together like that. Really cool. Great work as usual
Jesse Muller, you are the most patient person I've ever witnessed!!! New studs are cheap, so are new gaskets. Doing it right the first time saves doing it a second and third time
those studs are $17 a piece and they said a few weeks to get them. gaskets same thing. It wasnt the money that stopped me it was the time
@@jmuller86 An aftermarket stud kit and some Fel Pro gaskets are always a good thing, with plenty of copper coat. Smile
having just pulled and fought with a rusty exhaust manifold myself today, That's a heroic effort you've made. arguably one of the worst jobs on any salt belt vehicle, the combo of heat and rust practically welds the parts together.
Cardboard makes good forms when covered with Saran Wrap and/or clear packing tape. Layer up your glass on visqueen so that you are applying three or four layers at a time wet to the work. Saves time. Resin and thickeners make a better putty and filler then a very thin layer of Bondo if you must to finish. You can bond to plastics with epoxy formulations and do the whole job in epoxy if premium strength is required.
Excellent work Jesse. The cost of everything is sky high right now, I hope many more people will learn how to repair things. With the price of energy and gas, we need all the help we get.
my dad taught me to repair 50+ years ago...been doing it all my life...everyone used to do it back then..well 75% of Real Men...
Great job, from a sow's ear to a silk purse, a little work but saved a lot of money.
After welding the nut on quench the bolt threads with 3 n 1 or cutting oil till it stops smoking. Then you'll stop breaking the nut off. It's because the bolt has expanded in the hole and lubrication has been burned off it needs to be cooled off and re lubricates.👈😎👍 Hint WD40 doesn't work. 😍👉Awesome job on the body work and fixin the old girl up.
I admire your persistence in pursuing the welded nut method of bolt extraction. You must keep a large supply of nuts on hand.
That hood repair turned out really nice! Keep up the good work Jesse!
Congratulations, Jesse for getting that truck back on the road!! You did an A M A Z I N G job with that light and hood rebuild. It looks like brand new! Your videos, and YOU, never cease to amaze me.
Jesse… your struggles are real! You are really one of those guys not afraid of any hard job! Great attitude too!
Always pleasure to watch how you accomplish difficult tasks! Cheers Mr Muller
Awesome work Jesse. Loved how the FL70 turned out. That was some nice bodywork! Thanks for sharing as always
Oh, I forgot your skill doing cement work too. One handy dude.
You really can't tell that you have repaired the hood awesome job Jesse, catch you on the next one also Happy Father's Day
Hey Jesse ..What an adventure..I was glued to my seat.Wonderfull video many thanks..
Geez, Jesse! I've been watching your channel for about a year and am amazed at how many things you know how to do. Very impressive.
Epoxy resin, hardener, and fiberglass cloth. It's not hard to figure out. The hardest part is getting the broken pieces more or less aligned, then use the fiberglass and resin to glue them in place.
Sometimes when trying to get a short broken stud out I weld a washer on first and then weld a nut to the washer it's easier to get a strong weld on it with better penetration, CHEERS I love the longer vids...
You did such a good job on the hood repair, iam glad to see your truck on the road, i know you are. i think your truck looks great. keep up the good work.
Wow, that headlight turned out way better than I would have imagined. Nice work. What a fun time with Cummins parts...
Wow i love to see you work and manage your way out with intelligence and wisdom 👍🏼❤️🇨🇦 I loved it to see your kid being all happy to see the “big “ truck 😜🤪 You’re 🫵🏻 my best 🇨🇦
You are a master Jesse. Anything you do , you do with pride n precision. One request for this truck for now. Even a short video. 2 cans of black paint and wirebrush for the bumper and some silver paint for the steps. Truck looks awesome. Once you take those daytons off this truck is a keeper for life with regular maintenance.
Your fiberglass sculpting skills are amazing. Great job Jesse.
Nice work Jesse. Great watching you work though problems. As usual I learned some good things. Thank you for moving from dremel to the grinder. Thought I would loose it watching you grind down big stuff with that little thing.💪
I don't know if I could have the patience that you showed in getting those bolts out . WTG
Great job getting it certified!! Getting the bolts was crazy. It was frustrating and I was just watching!! Awesome work! The little guy looks like a natural behind the wheel. I like the little eyebrow hitch after you blew the horn! Really cute!!
It's a great truck that has seen hard times and is willing for you to update it. Patience and perseverance are key here. Ok, some new parts, and this truck will serve you for a while.
You’ve done a great job on that truck. I know it cost a lot, but if she goes for the rest of the time you need it, it’s worth it. God bless bud! Stay safe!🙏🎚🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Great job Jesse Necessity is the mother of invention. I love how you work on through the problems you encounter as you attempt to repair the issues with your truck repair. Not one four letter word.
I was certain that I heard that wonderful Mother of yours in the background there. Sure hope everybody is doing well and everything is progressing well on your buildings!! Take care Good people!!
Nice job,putting your Freight Shaker back on the road!!! Excellent job on the fiberglass repairs on the hood,maybe someday,when the more important things are taken care of,give your truck a decent paint job,it will certainly have earned it!!😎😎😎
Great video Jesse! Your persistence is to be highly admired! You get the job done without a lot of fanfare! Thanks for posting another great video and take care!
Another terrific video , excellent entertainment , thank you Jesse .👍👍🇬🇧
Enjoy your videos, I pickup little tips and tricks every time! Great job!
Congrats on this important milestone, Jesse!
I was wondering when you would notice it was the wrong manifold! I can even begin to understand how you could miss that, I mean you had both of them right there in front of you, and they're not even close to look like the same, and still you didn't notice - how is that even possible!? 🤔 But great job with the hood, it turned out really good. 👍👍👍
Great Video! I look foward to each vid from you. Clear presentation, well explained and a joy to watch. As a side benefit, I did learn quite a few things from you. Thank you!
Great job. You have the patience of Job. Can't wait till the landscaping. Stay safe and God bless.
Lil fella walking up with a boot on his foot and one on his hand was hilarious. We used to cut and mold headlight panels out of older 80s vehicles and mold them into work truck hoods thats been busted out, had an old Brockway with a mid 80s Pontiac Bonneville headlight buckets in it. Worked great and later put LED outer high/low beam and off road LED flood lights on the inner lights for late night open road deer spotters
Don’t know what you were flapping about, you did a cracking job on that fender repair.
That's just... A great Job Sir. Really. To get that truck inspected?!?!? I'm a little shocked. I tip my cap to you Sir. Well done. This particular video, I could nitpick a few things on the front end repair, but, probably things happened off camera.... You got there in the end, and it looks 92% good, in the video shots you showed..... WAY better than most attempts I've seen..... For a non professional, working in his gravel driveway, with aerosols, I'd call it amazing....
Initially I was more than a little surprised you weren't going to fix the bucket or fender and opt for paying for used complete hood. As someone who always enjoys your vehicle/machine rebuilds this just seemed so unjesse.....so I was fast forwarding and lo and behold you indeed did make the requisite glass repairs! Certainly not difficult but time consuming, another nice outcome, (though I thought FOR SURE you would repaint the entire hood). THX!
Hey Jesse, pat yourself on the back.... That repair actually looks better than the left side,,, Good job
Also on bolt extraction. Let it cool so the bolt will shrink. Then heat up the head flange and try removing. Great job but I think you have to wait for the bolt. The interface between the theads has already been shocked by the bolt getting hot first then transferring to the flange. You should fibreglass that bucket back on. Beats a 400 hood.
Proud of you for getting the loose rock off your dump gate before hitting the rod👍
