Installing aftermarket AC on Lt Dan. hope this is worth it. 

Just saw this on shorts good thing I figured out that you update playlist early👍🏻👍🏻

Good morning Mike I'm only 3 minutes in and I looked up the spec. on that unit . Well it is about the same as a REDDOT unit I installed in a 1996 International . This truck was a single cab because it was modified to haul 40 foot plus beams on both side of the truck . This thing sort of worked . It just couldn't push enough air . Since you have a full size cab . Make sure you insulate the hell out of it before you put the interior in and add a light tint to the windows , because the sun will heat up the cab . Now I will finish the show .🙂🙂🙂

She has been in the shop for a while. I use to do some interior stuff but that was many, many years ago, sound deadening material-dont skimp on here - you will be so thankfull later :) Thank you for the video !

Love the CAD “cardboard aided design”. Works every time!

You could put a piece of steel between the radiator (or whatever) and the drill hole as a backing plate for peace of mind next time. Excellent job overall.

Great job installing the hoses Mr Dirt Perfect

Really enjoy watching your fabrication work! You are a gifted young man. I’ll keep watching.

MacGuyver would be SO proud of you !! “ Git er done” . Great video.

One thing about it if the dirt thing doesn't work out, you can always go into building custom dump trucks. You have done an amazing job on Lt. Dan, that's one heck of a serious piece of machinery.

That is a nice AC kit! And the install was awesome. LT Dan is looking better everyday. I can't wait to see it out in the field hauling and dumping. Great video Michael

Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Man in the Shop

Nice job. I believe that the interior will go better than expected. You have a lot of skill and talent.

Making the right noises always works for me.

Hum belt tensioning device - kept you off the lathe and on the saw. Or a slug of pipe. As you have it to make a spacer. Nice job really.

Laying that metal on the vise 3 different ways wishing you had something to hold it in place……had me laughing out loud1

I love the Lt. Dan build!

Looking good coming along great getting closer

When I saw you pull out that sheet rock knife I wanted to hand you my hose cutting tool thru the screen. Not only is it easier to use and makes a clean cut but it is hard to slip and open up your other hand bleeding all over the place.

Mike the hose kit would be good as a template to take the hose shop and get braided lines made. The braided lines would look good and give the hoses some protection from the elements. Can’t wait to see Lt Dan when it’s all done

Love the Lt.Dan videos.

What a great video and an awesome build ! Can't wait to see Lt Dan on the road !!!!!!

Well done Mike. You are one talented guy.

Keep’em coming Mike like all your videos so far !

from the Netherlands thanks for the video DP

Been around men who spend many hours working on 'machines' and am always enthralled at what is being done, the initiative and the skills in play. Lt Dan's build is one of these.

DP u did well with the prep work for the ac unit on Lt Dan. Can't wait to see him doing so work 😌😌

AC looking good you got more patience than I do. Thank you.

Wow, love the progress!! Love restoration!!

Hey y'all sure is good to see Lt Dan again, Really enjoyed the series so far. Looking good and keep the videos coming. Best wishes from the Pa backwoods.

System looks real good nice work Mike LT Dan smile is getting bigger with everything you get completed 👍🇨🇦

Catching up on LtDan build. Hope to see it completed soon

Mr. DP, outstanding a/c install. Congrats. LT Dan should be impressed.

Lt. Dan is coming along nicely I really have enjoyed watching the build😎😎😎

Glad to see you making progress on Lt Dan does look impressive for having to rig up the unit.as always just keep doing what your doing and have fun while your at it 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Awesome job on LT Dan AC He's come along great Can't wait to see him done and inaction Looking forward to the next video Mike👍👍

glad to se LT DAN getting worked on

Moe, Curley, Larry and now Shimp I just enjoy it as the cast keep growing. Keep up the great work, best show on Tube.

You use your step drill bits more than I do. I save the step drill bits for the jobs where they are really needed. Even though they are quality tools, I don't want to get them dull doing ordinary tasks. I cannot sharpen my step drill bits but I can sharpen all of my regular drill bits with my Drill Doctors. I always use a starter punch and start with smaller drill bits. Nice job!

That A.C. turned out well, Looking good! 👍🏼😊✌🏻🇺🇸

Paystars were great workhorses! I have owned a few! Great job with your fixing it up! I cannot wait to see it finished!

Impressed with your fabrication process and results.

Any time your working with rubber especially hoses use spray silicone it makes it go together easier, spray it on a rag and wipe it on the metal fitting so as not to contaminate ac system silicone is wonderful stuff I use it often 🦆 Flintstone

Awesome Mike 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It sure looks good!

thumbs up ... i agree that welding the turn-buckle eyes is a good idea

Excellent love the mechanic side and fab work keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Lt. DAN Is coming along fine. Can't wait to see him on the job sites in the future. Keep up the great videos. Greetings and Merry Christmas from Lancaster county Pa.

It's coming along.it looks really good.u are doing a good job.nice looking truck

A/C looks good did a good job

good job dirt perfect.

Mike I would like to make a suggestion if you can get some old firehose from kleeman take and wrap around those hoses to prevent chafing that what we do on the boat also you turn it inside out and it's black to go with everything.

If you wrap Electrical tape around your drill bit works as a stop so you can’t hit your radiator

Great video buddy 👍

Very cool 😎 so far watching you put Lt.Dan together very good looking truck 👍😎🇺🇸 8:04am NY

Looks good. Can’t wait for MBTS to get back. You really beed to have a special unveiling event for Lt Dan when it’s finally done. Then we’ll all go into withdrawals until you do another build. Love the channel.

Looking good❤

Lt Dan is coming on a treat. MBTS, NYA now MITS! You have some great work mates. The turnbuckle was a good idea. Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍

Ac is essential for safe and efficient operation. You did a wonderful job of retrofitting a system. We miss Aaron too.

I have been suffering Lt. Dan withdrawal symptoms , to combat them I have been watching the series over and over . Thanks for posting a new one :) Really enjoying your channel ! Too bad Arron wasn't in the last two videos. Man in the shop was a good substitute. :)

Great video. Thanks

So it's going to be just as cool inside as it looks on the outside, nice one bro. Great video by the way. Safe travels up your way.

That's a beautiful truck.

Plenty of details on the Lt. Dan series. I'd have knots all over my head. From beating it against the wall. Glad you have the knowledge on how to do all this stuff.

As usual, another excellent vid on building Lt. Dan. I don't know why it's so facinating watching you on this project Mike, I just know I can't wait for each installment.

👍Always an adventure; thanks for sharing. If you haven't done the wiring as of now, consider "marine grade" pre-tinned conductors and pre tin any copper end points using rosin based flux and heat shrink tubing that has built in sealer/adhesive as opposed to the acid based flux used on copper plumbing. Your buddy with the marina can probably guide you.

lookin' good, fine tuning is coming right along...keep safe..

Well hot damn Lt.Dan has AC and nice job on Fab and location of all the plumbing. Come on spring time. I wanna see it ripping down the road❗

Keep up the good work on Lt Dan will be watching all of your videos Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year 🎉

that turnbuckle is better then new .i love it. all belts should have it

By finding someone or motivation to do the interior, you really mean you're waiting on MBTS to do it for you.

Lt. Dan is looking good Mike! I would suggest you put sleeving over the hoses to keep them from rubbing on metal. Keep up the great work and videos!

Great job! I know a little bit about this stuff, my dad used to own Frigiking.

Old timer tip- get a yellow or white paint pen and label all your lines. Everything, or at least color code the ends. Makes maintenance way easier. Wires too.

Hang in there, we have faith in you.

Instructor and DIY DP Mike has made installing an universal A/C look simple enough to get these “Think I Can” people out to their shops….lol. Great video Mike.

Awesome update to the Lt Dan series Mike.. Huge thanks for the video and for continuing to share your journey with us. All you need now is a "De" Forest Gump machine to partner Lt Dan with 🤣

Nice install,looks good =)

I keep looking at that truck and thinking "there must be plenty of room to work in that engine compartment" and then seeing just how tight space is (even before the A/C compressor.) May not seem like it to you, but you are making progress. Thanks for the video, enjoyed it.

Have to say that was a good one!

26:05 THIEF. You stole my drill and battery!

Good morning Mike. It was good seeing Jason there. Your doing great. Ed

Great video Mike 🇺🇲

I like that system . I'm going to order me one for my 379 day cab

Mike that is almost like the AC I put in the JD120 I had except it was a Red Dot. And I bought a condenser with fans on it and mounted it behind the back glass. Rarely ever had to clean it. It was well worth it. You do get a little breeze in a truck but it's hot in a trackhoe without AC . It's especially nice doing demolition jobs. Good video!

Looking good my friend👍👍👍👍 God bless🙏

👍😍👍Lookin Great I would make an awning over connections on the back of the cab to keep rocks and dirt off of it, other wises Lookin Great cant wait to see him on the JOB I'm sure you are excited too

One of the things I enjoy around the farm is fabricating, especially what's not been done before or one of those times you ask, "What were they thinking!" and you simplify the design. Today's video was great! Have a good one, Mike! Lee
