  • Today, we do a service call on a Mack MP7 that has a huge oil leak. We had to use our experience to make some quick decisions to get this truck back on the road again. Remember that this video is for entertainment purposes only. Enjoy!!!

    If there is a failed injector and the compressor rattled off, the morons that own the truck are not taking care of it. The truck loping likely is not a new issue, and the driver, from the sounds of things, was too dumb to know what a proper running engine sounds like. Driver training these days must be a freaking joke, it seems more than half of the drivers on the road no nothing, hell I see drivers that don't even pre-trip their trucks before they just jump in and go, it makes me sick.
