Hey curious to know where you got your diesel laptop and software from? Love the videos super helpful 👍🏾
I had to replace the main pressure line from the pump to the valve body and it was a pain. Dropped all the covers on the bottom to find it and had to be a contortionist to get the 4 bolts clamping down one end. There are a lot of hoses down under there and of course they all get in the way.
Yeah, obviously!
Ur in australia?
Any reason for not dropping the belly pan for access? Just curious
Hey Ryan is SIS a free service? From cat ?
I believe the correct name for those is a code 61 or 62 flange seal. Looks more like a 62, that flange looks thick.
@@jcolivera881 62 for sure
Caterpillar flange - similar to sae code 62..
Gotta do a truck tour bro. Always interested what other field guys have in their trucks
Do you have or can make a video on the best ways to get started in becoming a diesel mechanic? I want to change careers and have 3 kids and a wife, so I don't have time to go to a school but I'm a very hands-on mechanical type of person that has already worked in the construction field for over a long time. I have searched online for diesel mechanic apprenticeships in my area but have not been lucky to find any. So, IDK if it's just not something that is advertised a lot or what. Please link me a video you have made or please make a video about this topic thank you so much, I love your content.
i would love to get into HD diesel tech, but I have zero experience in mechanics I'm a plumber by trade so how do you recommend for someone like me looking to switch careers go about it without going to a tech school.
@ExpatTraderFX That is a great question. I would find a small shop as a helper or try the trash industry, they always need people. Work your way up. You will do all the not so fun jobs. Goodluck on your journey. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel 😀
@RCGdiesel thanks alot it's good advice, love your channel by the way!
Open the fill cap on the hydraulic tank for pressure release to the system
@@paulpatenaude3208 ill try that next time
I always open the fill cap, turn the key on but don’t start it, and cycle all the hydraulic functions before cracking any line loose. Obviously with a blown hose there isn’t any pressure to begin with, but you can never be too careful. I’m a field tech for a Cat dealer. Nice job on the repair.
@bittercreekscvs yes that is a good way to prime the system. I do it that way when I replace pumps. 👍
I was lucky to retire just a year after zero tail swing excavators came out.Those things are a freakin pain.
@@keithmckay3454 they make them so fun to work on now haha
nothing to add, just increasing the traffic cus i enjoy your channel
@@Kook5point5Six I really appreciate that! You guys are badass
RCG IS BACK
@@andrewmason3355 That's right!!
Hydraulics still scare me.😂
@@Cody_1776 They should. They will definitely not forgive you!
What causes hydraulic hoses to blow up ? Before replacing the other one
@floydphiri4709 old age. Normal wear. Sometimes, that is not the case.
time!!
2 Dirty thumbs up .
@@parabot2 👍
yep
@@MitchKing-x1s That is right!!
Hey man love watching your content very interesting work!!! Just wondering tho, to become a mobile tech do you need a cdl???
@rileyfortner2123 Awesome bud! I'm glad you enjoyed it. You do not need a cdl. It is nice to have, but I don't wanna drive i wanna fix.
@@RCGdieseldo you know if certain companies might require one? Or would it just depend on the type of service truck/weight?
@rileyfortner2123 service truck weight for sure and you do get paid more usually.
@@RCGdieselwould you recommend to get one if the opportunity came up or should I no sweat it being a problem for getting that position in the future?
Love your videos. Before the repairs, can you please explain the actual diagnosing and why you do the repairs you do? thank you
@peydayproductions 10-4 buddy! Glad you enjoyed 😉
yep
@@MitchKing-x1s That's right!
I Love your videos! You motivate me to go on my own! What kind of insurance do you need for a mobile diesel mechanic??
Good vid man
Do u work on electric machinary yet ? We here in europe are a good ways ahead of you on the future side of things.
Great video and thanks for sharing. Three questions… 1. What was the cost for parts and sending the filters to get cleaned? What did you charge the customer for labor? 2. Why is it necessary to swap an entire one box instead of doing what you just did? I guess what would be the most common reason to swap the entire one box. I hear that it can cost anywhere between 13k-16k for a complete swap these days?
Thanks for the tips, this is great content for sure. I think your vent is blowing on the speaker when your in the ride and it’s causing a crackle in the audio.
Thanks! I will check my vents, appreciate you pointing that out!
Hey man, awesome video- would you do a video on how one could get started doing their own Mobile HDM truck/buisness? Im 3rd year and having my own truck and doing work on HE is what my 5 year goal looks like currently. Thanks alot!
You figured out that quick release valve. Now you got the owner with a leaking air bag too. And he’s gonna call you back the next time he’s got a problem. That’s now a customer. Love it!! Keep it up
Do you ever fill the filter housing with fuel before you put the filter back in? I’m a diesel tech also but haven’t done it in years, but I recall filling them up then priming
@PatinaBlue62 sometimes you have to. Sometimes they will not take fuel, it will keep draining.
That’s why u r the goat 🐐!🙏🏻🫡🫵🏽
Hi Do you hire?
Would love to see you do a run around of your crane truck , and how you built it etc . Two Dirty Thumbs up 👍👍
Great stuff , two dirty thumbs up . 👍👍
@@parabot2 glad you enjoyed
Hi RC what area do you service?
I’m starting as a diesel mechanic apprentice in 2 weeks after 18 years of doing bodywork. I’m doing it because I want to and because I want to learn as much as I can before I die. I love diesel trucks, so why shouldn’t I learn everything there is to know. It’s going to be humbling going from the go to do everything guy to a beginner and a low man on the totem pole. I’m also working on a career as a pilot at the same time (halfway there). I’m doing it because I want my son to see that you can do anything you want. I’m learning how little chasing money gets you in terms of enjoying life. Your channel and attitude is a good inspiration. Life is a fuckin journey not a destination. Enjoy the ride and make it a good one! You only get one shot!
@AnangryLibertarian A lot of truism in this comment! Thank you
Dude you're awesome 💯😎 im learning a lot from you cant wait until i can start working on trucks
Hard work 💪 bro is a bread earner
Oh yes no new anchor pins no Antiseaz no new brake drum Oh yes
@angelozararis8096 i don't work for the city player! You made it pretty far threw the videos. Hope you enjoyed 😉

@smokinpete8827 Thank you bud, glad you enjoyed 😉
Awesome info and inspiring man! PASSION IS A MUST!!! knowing what jobs make money and what jobs to stay away from is smart doesn't mean you have to do all the huge jobs some of the most bread and butter is the smaller preventative maintenance on fleets or simple brake/clutch jobs
Keep the vids coming man! I’m 23 been a fleet mechanic for 2 years I got me a flat bed and I’m ready to do why you’re doing so help me see what it’s all about lol please and thank you
@@andrewmason3355 you the man!
Hope you keep posting , love your content
Just curious are you bringing your filters and fresh oil,other parts or are is the customer supplying them for when you arrive? Also what kind of mark up on parts do you typically do if you mark them up?
@allenflickinger457 i have some customers that will supply parts. If I buy them it's 30% market up and I might charge some time to pick up parts
My name is sherif from Nigeria am truck mechanic I need job help me
