In this video I buy a 96 freightliner fl70 with transmission problems. Previous owner said it needed a clutch. It turned out to be the throwout bearing was not greased and failed. Project turned into alot more once I got into it.
We need a shirt that says "Jesse Muller" on the front and "Can't isn't a word" on the back!! 👍
that has been my motto since I was a kid
@@jmuller86 ingrained in him by me
by all means
my mom used to say that to me all the time
@@jmuller86 we can tell
Jesse Muller, Andrew Camarata and Diesel Creek, my three favourite KZheadrs!!!
DITTO!!!!
agreed
Couldn't agree with you more 👍
Ad Watch Wes Work and Salvage Workshop and you are seated for a while.
True.
Great video, as an older, retired guy, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you younger guys doing stuff like this....more young people should watch and learn from you guys, great job Jesse.
Im only 40 but after 10 yrs in the oilfield and then some time in the refineries, i agree with the sentiment. Most only know enough to do what theyre told to do. I was always taught to learn everything and never quit until the job is done. Its a dying mentality and lost on many my age as well.
@@hammerdick82 I couldn't agree more Chris, it seems youth today find it easier to sit and complain then they do get up and figure it out. Good for you.
watching this to get inspired on how to be calm and persevere when life throws you a curve ball
Very good technic of filming ......every parts was clearly shown to the audience no matter how tight the corner was.....
Well done son!!! I call you son because I'm old, and your not!!! My son is your age!! Work ethics are important, and yours are top notch!!! Very rare these days, and I thank you for that!!!
Doesn't matter what JM does, it's always worth watching.
Could not agree more. Special talents on display.
Preach it brother 🤗
There are those who think they can and can' not. Then there are those who know they can and do. Thank God we have many who can like you,
One Million Views and well worth it. Old Iron, no matter what it is, being resurrected to a new life is always satisfying
Software Engineer here that will probably never work on heavy equipment. Yet still love the videos and feel like I am learning something anyways lol.

you never know.... I'm at the tail end of my software engineer career and it seems more and more appealing to move onto something else.
Software < Engineer
Jesse, you need a garage in the worst way. Work on things in comfort, on any day, in any weather. You earned it for sure.
Dude, You are one is the most understated people I've ever seen .... You get stuff done man ..... Nice work
Thanks bud
You need to build a hole in the ground and cement both sides in order to drive vehicles over it to work from under standing up... Jesse is one smart cookie.... Your camera man / helper is real good too...
What i love about jesse is it doesn't matter how big or tough the job is he just gets stuck in !!!!
I'm sure JM gets a lot of satisfaction in accomplishing a finished product. I get a lot of joy when someone suceedes.
@Hello Jerry how are you doing
Just because she needs work doesn't mean she's done working Nice job
I haven't driven a truck in over 30 years now, and I will certainly never repair one. Still I really enjoy watching this. Just to see everything is nuts and bolts. No magic involved.
2 hours gets two comments. your tenacity is beyond the pale. I am so impressed
Watch Wes Work is pretty good too!
I sort of hesitated before starting a two hour video, but I'm glad I did. Jesse, you held my interest for the whole two hours! You are a great story teller.
Never hesitate on Jessie's or Andrew Camarata's long videos! Always worth it
Giving me faith in the younger generation to keep our country rolling
Probably 30 years ago I helped a good friend change the transmission in his Ford semi tractor truck and I am watching you do the same thing that I was helping my friend Bob Walters, I learned alot from him and I taught him a thing or two, awesome to watch you do all this and explain everything you do, that's very important for you to do it and you will have this on video, thank you for sharing this job on your truck 🇺🇸🦅
Good investment in new parts needed , because you need for it to be working when the weather is good not working on it when you need it . Great camera work and lighting under the truck and editing . Thanks for sharing your World with all of us .
I dont really know the price of trucks there but I'd hazard a guess that 10k into it would still be a lot cheaper than a new one, and probably a mint condition 2nd hand one that didn't need any work
Jesse you work very peaceful no stress in your work, at least you don't show it. such enjoyable to watch you. it's nice that you have your son their watching you. that's a jewel.
Where I live we don't have salt on the roads so real old vehicles only have rust from rain water. My 43 year old always garaged daily driver automobile is rust free under and over and in spectacular condition. Something that people living in the rust belt could never imagine.
The joy of salted roads... Cute workshop BTW!
I can’t believe how calm and patient you are. I would of thrown about a hundred tools before completing this r/r. Great job
OMG, having owned my own repair shop and watching you crawling around under that vehicle I commend your tenacity there's no way unless I had this thing lifted up so I could work like a human being, if even just 12" higher and on good ground, I could ever be able to do what you're doing. Ah youth....
I enjoy your videos and you're like Andrew if it's broke you're always have the idea that you can fix it and you do fix it That's what makes you and Andrew and Diesel Creek so awesome cuz you just don't give up
@Hello Edward how are you doing
" I'm not an expert but I definitely know my way around " I love this man
Man I'm glad we don't have to deal with the rust like yall have up in NY.
That is just crazy rust!
Salt baby
Thats bad but not terrible. Trucks 10 years old are very common around here to be ready for the scrap yard
If you go further upstate where they get lake effect snow, the rust is way worse
Syracuse makes this truck look like it was from California lol
I’m not a mechanic but I found this fascinating to watch, even down to seeing how the gears work. It’s a tribute to the ingenuity of the people who designed and built these machines and also to your own skills in taking it all apart and putting it back together again. Huge work in filming and editing too. Thank you.
Jesse - You gave a very good overview of how a synchronized manual transmission works, all in a few minutes. I think I could tackle one now. Thanks. Harris, out.
my safety glasses to watch this video LOL Flying rust and metal pieces . Great program today thanks for sharing
This 2 hours is better than any movie I’ve ever seen. Must have taken days to upload.
Credit to your mate/camera man, gets all the shots for us to have a good video 👍💪
You’re a hard worker Jessie. Do it while your young. I can’t manhandle transmissions and such anymore. Take care of your back.
I think I had the very same conversation under a truck in the bush 40 years ago while hooking on a rebuilt trans. Only difference it was winter and there was quite a bit more cursing. Definitely young man's work. Lots of fun watching this.
2 hrs. with Mr JM, perfect................. great stuff Jesse, great channel............
I didn't know a cast transmission housing could even rust like that. That's insane. You got it done though. Can't isn't a word!
I like how people are picking up on the "can't isn't a word". it is something that has stuck with me my whole life
Whit all these Auto correction keyboards today, even if a person Can't type the correct word Google will remind them , and there you have it.
Best mechanic on KZhead
Nice Job Jesse, you have the patience of a saint.! Your one knowledgeable hard working guy.!!
@Hello Scott how are you doing
@@lydialas8759 Great.!!!
Another truck! I thought this was Andrews for a second lol
theres really no comparison between the 2.. jessie is a normal human who isnt destroying his own stuff just for vid likes and negative attention.. jesse is grown up.. not the case with AC
@@involvedbystander66 Yeah, I like AC's videos. But you can tell who is the family man for sure.
@@involvedbystander66 I didn't mean an Andrew video. I meant because of the color and the overall shape in the small thumbnail it kind of looked like it at first glance.
@@craigculver1933 I like AC enough to watch his vids , but i have to comment honestly. i wish Jesse would get more recognition for his talents.
@@involvedbystander66 Shut up you keyboard warrior. Andrew's channel is one of the best on KZhead, he doesn't get negative attention. The comments sections are constructive and positive on every video. You sound seriously bitter and envious.
Good investment where you can do the work on it. One of my Dad's favorite saying was, "There is no such word as Can't!"
I can't believe I sat here and watched you do all of that to that transmission but at the end I thought you did a really awesome job!
My heart goes out to you kid. Did many of these in the past. Beware, you won't be young forever...yet. You'll end up in that joint with Arthritis. Please be safe!
Dude, you dropped that shaft right on my eye!
It sure made me jump!
Man that hurt got a little dirt in my eye too 😂
2 thing's to say about your videos. : no silly music and smooth talking = super 🇩🇰
Great work! A ton of work and parts but you have a heck of a good dump truck after you're done and many, many years of service left in it.
Hi Jesse I live in Scotland in the UK. I used to drive what we call articulated lorries, what you call tractor trailer (big rigs) I suppose. I am retired now, and worked for a big supermarket chain so never had to worry about the mechanical side of things. However love watching you and Matt from diesel creek working on older stuff and giving them a new lease of life
It's always a good day when Jesse posts! 😃 A man with intestinal fortitude!
He didn't mention the freezing weather...
Mr. Muller, I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and find them all interesting. However, I must say I have been most impressed with your wide and varied knowledge, your passion for what you do, and what an incredibly hard working individual you are. Kudos to you.
The trans looks like the Titanic!
Your mom can be proud of her son Jesse.
I like you ingenuity if solving problems, simple solutions that save alot of money! Keep up the great programming!
I know I'm not supposed to click a like before finishing watching the entire thing but I've had already clicked it within first minute coz I knew this video was going to be great and it was!
Man I'm glad you and Andrew don't glorify diesel engines. Keep up the awesome videos!!
I'm not a 'car guy' as far as doing my own mechanical work but watching your videos takes some of the mystery (and anxiety) out of doing your own work. I'm gonna start by tackling some smaller jobs myself.
5:56 you hit me in the face and didn’t even apologize. How rude 😜
Lol right.
Twins
How many people flinched when that happened 👋😳
You're watching a very talented mechanic here.
An excellent video. Really enjoyed watching it, remembering the past times doing that sort of work myself.
good afternoon from cyprus i just finished watching all your videos, i have been watching andrew camarata for a few years now and i thought that he was good buy YOU ARE THE MAN...... keep up the good work.
Jesse's nightmare is our Friday afternoon with a beer entertained.
I've never seen a pull type clutch. Learn something new every day. Keep up the good work Jesse.
J. You have the equipment and the know how. Make life easier, make yourself a pit so you can stand underneath the trucks. Will save you back and shoulders and is a 100% safer
I never drove any semi or dump truck, yet here I am watching... Is very interesting
Glad you got it fixed ! You want to Make some money back on it You could haul for me if you want next week on that driveway ! King Hill Rd. 👍🏼
thanks, I wish I was in the position to do that but it should only be $100 per 22 ton load from gallivan for delivery charge
Good thorough video, its nice to see the entire process of the transmission repair in one video.
I love these long videos where you show many/most/if not all the steps and explain what you're doing.
Jesse that's going to be a labor of love and the thing about it is when you get it done you know what you have and you know that it's going to be dependable and that right there means the world when you're trying to make a living moving dirt
I forgot to mention how well you film and edit. I am right there looking close up at what your doing and describing either overhead or straight on. Keeps my attention. Nice job.
This was a great video to watch, it could have been double the time and I still would have been watching till the end. I like your explanations and rational as you video. Also I appreciate your ballpark figures as to what it cost and the time required. Thanks for posting!
Unbelievable amount of work in what looked like freezing condtions with a great result ...... fantastic job 👍 from Australia
Hoooo Hooooo Jesse you have a really nice workshop (don't dirty the floor !!!) And such a very nice and warm paved floor !!! Let me watch this video !!!
The workshop jack will run easy on that even and level floor !
man, i was exhausted after watching this video. i sat here and grunted and turned for every move you made under that truck, as if i was under there with you. good job under bad conditions. enjoy following your projects. look forward to the basement project on the old house getting completed.
Man, I don't have that patience anymore... This job turned into a can of worms.... But I bet that first drive you felt was allllllll worth it..... Nice job
Great job on this one.... Thanks for bringing us along.... I didn't think I'd sit through a 2 hour video, but here I am!!! hahaha! I agree with your thought process. You're not in it that bad, still, even though it was 10 tons of work.... If you had to take it to a shop and pay, omg..... No. But you're still not in it that bad... In your position, that is a nice truck, it will save you money, it will make you money, it'll pay for itself over & over.... Great truck to have in your arsenal....
Hiya, Great video, thank you. The 'Heli-coil' insert, when I used them in the '70s we broke off the tang by turning the tool to remove, ie anti-clockwise. You can't drive a truck like that I don't care if you own it...NO COFFEE!!! That cup holder is there for a reason you know, to put your coffee cup in while you have a scratch... Stay safe...Steve...
You really take on some extremely difficult projects good job 👍
Jesse, that's one amazingly clean gearbox
Damn, what a project, Never seen a transmission this rusty
Your input shaft threader aligned idea is genius! You are so gifted! My papaw was like you. Now I get to see the depths of his knowledge. As a kid I didn’t see it,but watching you, I see him working. Thanks for including us and teaching us as you do this work that not many people could attempt. You are THE MAN! I’d love to see you no Andrew do a co project, but maybe you two don’t reason the same style.
I like that you tell us how much things cost. Good detail with respect to the process/work you did. Well done!
The fact that it was a plow truck for ma dot and it’s still alive with low miles I’m shocked glad you were able too save it
Nice truck, Freightliner and Humm'in Cummins good buy. Then now you know exactly what you what you have. You did good
You’re an expert as they come, excellent job
Wow, what a can of worms that turned out to be. You did a good job considering how hard it was. Most would be looking for their matches.
Jesse the way you edit these videos really makes it so enjoyable to watch 🤙🤙 great job my man 😎
You have a nut inside the inspection cover at one always gets me
When i was a boy in Westport NZ, i drove Austin trucks with two speed Eaton diffs, i was 17/18 yo, cut my teeth on those old trucks Jesse, the company i worked for also had a few Fords and Chevys, with crash gearboxes. I'm 80 now Jesse, its all a distant memory. Love your programme Jesse. Uncle Bob.
You do a great job on these video's, thank you.
What a great video, transfixed for 2 hours, what a story and what a relief one felt as you started to put it back together. You certainly came out a winner, a truck to last a long time and with the extra works planned. Good luck and still just amazed by the work!!
Watching this felt like a movie and kept me hooked. Thank you for sharing. I admire ur mechanic skills and trully appreciate all the time you spent filming. Unbelievable work.
jesse you are very good with repairs interesting and useful to watch.
I absolutely love these long form videos. Wish more creators would do it. Some people bitch about videos being to long as if you have to watch them all at once.
You should always put antisieze compound into the pto splines before you install the pump, there is always a small miss alignment and it keeps the splines from wearing. The fuel tank usually sits on some kinda tar rubber insulator tape between the bracket and the tank. You did a good job, yes that was a bunch of work.
You ain't lying
And operate your PTO about 1,000 RPMs no more
The memories this video brings to mind I Worked on my boss's dump truck in 1989 He only paid us minimum wage. Cheap ass Great video
Good job, Jesse. And, very entertaining. Thanks.
@Hello Jerry how are you doing
These are the kind of trucks that an EMP won't affect at all 👍
It's been a while since I've been under a Truck like that the rust almost fell in the corner of my eye again 😂 Nice Vedio 👍
Brother what a treat this was to comfort my mind on this day. So cool to watch your walk through, inspiring me to remember just take time with it. The machines are sacred, and good for our minds. Peace!
