You didn’t spend $600 for a drag link. Maybe $200 max. They are roughly $120 for them now in this crappy economy.
what is the torque spec for 2019 Cascadia sleeper?
I have same problem running rough 😕 i wondered if this would fix.
I ended up have to do the timing chain
Hey. My flat white plug with red,blue,brown,yellow wires is not connected to anything, and I do not see a place for it to connect. Can you help me with that ?
Those are all gas valve I believe
Can't beat that price. Great build and install.
Probably a long shot but do you still do carnivore? Been doing it since March and honestly helps out a lot on the road. A lot more filling, not hungry very often, no more cravings for junk, and you can set it up pretty easily to eat while you're driving. Also lost nearly 30 pounds doing it and crossfit when I can get in the gym.
I did yes. If you prep it’s great for on the road. But very difficult if your trying to eat out
Im trying to replace the cylinder 4 injector only, Do I have to remove the intake manifold?
I believe so
@@gingerhotshot yes I ended up removing it. Thanks tho
I'll work for you. I'm in dallas.
I live there now too. Probably not looking for any trucks or drivers till next year
Open the gas tank next time it’ll release the pressure😭😂
Wow that’s a great idea
I just started watching your videos, as an older guy that's lived a lot of life (mistakes) I think you're a smart young man and you've learned some hard but valuable lessons already. Keep pushing through and keep your good attitude, nobody can take that away from you unless you let them. I like your style and thats worth a lot more than "stuff". I subscribed to your channel, keep making videos.
Thank you that means a lot. I will!
I live in a tiny town about 1 hour from Panguich, it was funny seeing that name pop up in your video. I think this video has some good value to it so i subscribed to your channel. I've been a brick mason since i was a kid, I'm 61 now and don't like the idea of retiring any time soon. I've been thinking about switching to trucking, i live alone and have always liked trucks and hauling things. I currently have an older F450 flatbed i use for my masonry business. It's a 6 speed manual trans diesel with 135k miles. My thoughts are to use my current truck to get started and start looking for a semi. Did you ever branch out into dispatch and or brokering? I'd want to lease on to a smaller company to get started, if you have that established maybe we could work something out? Seeing that this video is a year old i hope your situation is better now!
That sounds like a good setup. I actually broker now. Haven’t had any trucks on the road for a year but want to get them back out there
Looking to lease on should have cdl in a week. Then getting truck. Then trailer soon. Any advice?
Go work for someone first or lease on with someone good
crap
Hard

How’s the compressor doing? Do you have the link for it?
No issues, all the parts are linked in the description
You need to paint the king pin hitch. Looks pretty rusty...
Natural rustic look!
@@gingerhotshot sure...👌
1 hr seriously..
What do you suggest?
If you don’t have one already, I’d get a 1/2” impact gun like a Milwaukee. Mine saves me a lot of time. I never had anybody teaching me anything about these big rigs so I’ve found myself having to do almost everything the hard way or with tools that nobody would even consider using because I’m usually one tool away from being able to handle it efficiently 😂. So I know all kinds of tips and tricks now because of it. PS, and a Milwaukee grease gun. Makes greasing not as much of a pain in the ass. If you ever come acrosss and grease fitting that doesn’t want to take grease with your gun, I can almost guarantee you that the power of the Milwaukee will push thru the blockage and you’ll be able to grease it without a problem.
Solid suggestion
Man that’s some crazy tire wear. My tired just have wear from needing kingpins. But I can feel a pretty good vibration in the steering wheel around 45-55mph. Already did tie rod ends because they were shot but it didn’t really change anything. Checked drag link and I could see the slack when I would rock the wheel back and forth. So I’m about to change it today. Hoping it makes a difference for me. Shocks are also due. I’m learning that letting one failed component go unattended can definitely lead to the demise of another one. My shocks have been bad so long I’m assuming that’s why my leaf hangers needed to be replaced from All the bouncing. That’s why they are called shock ABSORBERS. lol they take all the beating, allowing other component to not have to take it all. Thanks for your video sir
Agreed, also quality of tires and inflation are important. Those cheap ass china tires I had on there sucked
Im just staring with mercer i like it but im averaging 2.10 on all miles dead head and loaded. I would like to atleast average 2.50 but i have to try run to better areas with better rates
Doesn’t sound horrible but can always be better!
Who is paying a dollar a mile for fuel that would be 3.5 miles to the gallon I was doing 5 running local in a old truck
I run about 4.5 or 5.2 in a really good day lol and yeah that’s doing long haul. Doing local is hard to calculate because there’s so much idling and constant stop and go, I run local as well if the rates are up lol
That’s still $.77 a mile for fuel. Almost everyone I know in newer truck is getting 6-8 mpg
Even says to the truck next to it
That average is for certain drivers not the new guy. They push you to locations like florida and other places like that and crap ton of deadhead. I just quit mercer.. the recruiter lies to you to get you in and then they control your load board.. if anybody ever had a true 100% fuel surcharge you would see that a 2 dollar per mile load probably only pays 1.5per mile.. but if you came from another major company you may not think it's to bad..
Maybe do a direct tie down of the wooden crate? That’s the only thing I can think of 🤷♂️ I’ve never seen this before
That’s what worked best for me, it’s a fun one.
If you haul nothing but rebar and you use straps with no protection they will tear up in no time.
Makes sense
Not dot legal. You could be POS if it doesn't comply. Good luck.
Only if you’re doing sleeper splits or logging sleeper berth. 10hrs in off duty status can be in, out, on top of, underneath the truck, doesn’t matter
One thing is to offset the middle strap, that way if you want to cut it down for some reason you can cut it in half and the one side is already a complete 4’
That’s a great tip I found out the hard way haha
Not enough
F bombs, why.
Why not
mercer is dog shit😂 good lucc with that buddy
It sounds counter intuitive but apparently it's much easier to just pull the engine up and out to make the job easier
Probably is
What keeps the fuel not to over fill main tank?
A proper air lock, may not work on all trucks. I always ran to a 1/2 tank then flipped it on and my fuel tank would just stay at 1/2 as I drove
Where are you guys located. I have Ac system that has been leaking for about 4 months no one seems to know what or where the leak is at
I’m not a shop like that
I could see my house from there , good hike guys
Peavine!!
Welcome back 😂
lol thanks
Nah im good it was -26 at the house the other week in montana and after day 2 i hooked up trailer and rolled down to Arizona and Texas, had the a/c going there now im up in wyoming with heat back on looking to head towards texas again.
Yes Martha Wash 💪😍 love her voice and music
Yikes 😬
Damn that’s scary. I’m looking at getting involved in trucking but this sounds pretty scary
Had a code for cylinder 4 fuel injector is it ok to fix that one for now
Yes but I would suggest doing all of them sense you have to remove so much to replace one.
How many fuel injectors are there in that car
6
First step to watch this or any other you tube video, hit skip on the worthless commercials!
Is this going to void warranty? How about safety?
Bumper to bumper warranty only last about 30k miles and I don’t see it affecting your power train warranty. The roll over valve is the important part of safety with the tank
Used motor oil makes a great stain/sealant! Who has any used oil lying around?
I have heard that
