@@SteveSanders-SPB-FL Thank you! I try to be as calm as possible most of the time but sometimes it’s hard to. There is a lot of stress involved with this job. In stressful situations it’s hard to remember about the camera so that’s why I don’t show most of it. Thank you! 🙂
I wish my repairs were inexpensive. I’m at home waiting for a new axle assembly to be built and shipped. Pinion gear went bad so I’m taking advantage and changing from a 4:10 gear ratio to a 4:56. That is going to help pulling these heavy loads through the mountains and also on the take off. I also will have to replace the transmission soon as I’m getting some slip in reverse and 1st gears.
That filter is your crank case vent filter. It filters the oil vapor coming from the crankcase before it gets pushed back through the intake. Those filters are oily within 1000 miles it don’t hurt anything. You could even delete it and vent the crankcase to the atmosphere (which is something you do on deleted trucks)
I change my CCV filter every 3rd oil change on my ‘19 3500. Far less expensive than having to replace a leaking front/rear crankshaft seal due to excessive crankcase pressure.
Picking up miltary grade stuff is always fun! GREAT VID! 😊 Smart changing that air crank filter more often! Your not afraid to tackle your own repair projects! Thats a huge savings!
@@Happ1971 I love military loads. Always fun. I always try to do as much of my own maintenance as possible because I have trust issues with others working on my stuff 😁Thanks Steve 👍🏻
Really enjoyed the video Alex. Securement is always what I'm looking at to learn more ways to secure. CCV filters on our 4th and 5th gens get changed every 20k-30k. I changed them one time at 60k and same thing they were covered in oil. 5 min job so why not change more often is how I see it. Same thing on OEM air filter on the 5th gen. Ran Fram one time and it threw a code. Went back to OEM, gone and never been an issue since. Awesome video of the drive shaft replacement too👍💪
@@alvinmann7675 Thank you Alvin. Really appreciate the feedback. I mainly try to stick to oem stuff when price isn’t horrible. Fuel filters I use from Docs diesel. Everything else is oem. The CCV filters I buy oem from Amazon at a fraction of dealers price.
U should by pass the ccv Alex it's just soot that it throws back into the crankcase and into the engine!! It's a stupid rule the epa made!! If u by pass it u don't get it going into the engine. They make kits and your motor will last a hell of a lot longer bypassing it!!
those CCV's are made to catch any oil/pressure to reduce any crank case pressure. good maintenance item to replace, but honestly, deleting it and running a catch can is the better way to go. if you ever wanted to. I know you're more of an oem type of guy which is always perfectly fine.
@@_Machine631_ Yeah I know the purpose of them but didn’t know they were supposed to be soaked with oil. I’ve heard when guys delete them and use a catch can, you’ll get a check engine light.
Hey Alex hope you doing well … might be alot to ask , im starting a hotshot/ UA-cam journey , and would love some feedback on my videos when i upload , on the route i take to get to hotshotting . Your contribution will be greatly appreciated… and stay safe out there 🫡
Hey there I’m also about to start my very own CDL hotshotting , is there anything you would recommend I do … I’m 22 and I’m legit completing my cdl this month ?
Hey Alex!! Nice tarping Bro! You're setting a Great Example for us Hottshoters!! Thank You!! Ken!! Oh!! 👍🏾✌🏿
@@kennethwilliams3877 Thank you Ken! Really appreciate the feedback and support 👍🏻🙂
Another great video, I really enjoy your easygoing nature and calm demeanor which is rare in what can be a high stress job at times. Safe travels. 😁

I'm so glad to see you finally working... For a minute there, I thought you were an influencer for show cars and donuts.😂😅😂😂

@@gatorfdx I’ve been on the road for a month 😁 The other channel I post stuff that’s been recorded before leaving for work 😁👍🏻

@@vancemattis What truck do you have?

I put an easy install catch can.

@@BRACLLC Very good idea. I try to change mine at 30-35k miles.
Sweet deal, enjoying this great weather before we have to use our heater at night, lol....
@@tg9388 For sure. It’s nice to be able to sleep without ac or heater.

Nice job
outstanding video, truck looks almost new underneath no rust, you must clean a lot in the winter
The CCV filter is supposed to have oil filtered through to oil the turbo.
@@settlestrucky The turbo doesn’t get its oil supply from the CCV.

Great Video But Now You Don't Tell How The Loads Pay😅
@@huzaifamurtaza386 Thanks. I try to change it up and not always talk about the pay of the loads.
Dude u had feel like a bad a having freaking fighter jet missile launcher or bomb compartment behind u lol
Weapons pylons for air vehicles, possibly?
@@timpropilot When dropping off I was told those tanks hold bombs.

You notice after 2008 equip designed to cost more in parts limited warrenty 😂
@@jimgraves6464 I didn’t notice because I have nothing to compare to. Never had older equipment.
we appreciate watch how you do the loads on the trailer and you show exactly wht you are doing and explain why
@@clemnewton9007 Thank you !
that fit perfectly, you have exactly 40ft deck space, right?
@@tg9388 Yeah. Deck space is exactly 40ft

@@Xplst_ Watch a lot of videos on securement. Keep your costs low or it’ll be easy to fail this business.
Hey Alex if you don’t mind me asking I’m also in the Saint Louis area. And I’m in need of Dispatcher. If you prefer I can DM you.
