This is my last hope, I have been to several repair shops, some said there is no problem, some said the head gasket and asked me to go to the dealer for engine repair. But I don't think so because I have driven more than 1000 miles since the problem appeared, and there has been no change in the oil. The power has not decreased. Recently a mechanic replaced the expansion tank, but the problem remains. When I said the air compressor all the mechanics said that the air compressor is working well and does not need to be replaced. Thanks for sharing brother. I really don't have money for engine repair
There are multiple test to see if your compressor is bad and the main one is. 1. With your hood open, take off your overflow reservoir tank cover 2. Bleed your air tanks to 0 or empty 3. Whilst looking at your overflow reservoir, start truck and let air pressure build 4. If coolants starts to rise and even overflows, your air compressor is pressurizing your coolant system. Turn your truck off and then you’ll know what your specific issue is. 5. You can also use a clean rag or paper towel around mid section of truck where your air dryer is and if it blows off excess air into the towel and it’s not clear but same color as your coolant, your air compressor is the issue.
Hello Sir ! I just wanted to thank you for your knowledge ! I watch your videos when I have a problem like you and I find that you are pretty darn smart ! So with that being said I subscribe to your channel and gave you a thumbs up ! Thank You so very much for all your videos and may you have a wonderful blessed day Sir!
I appreciate this so much cuz honestly it motivates me in a big way because I myself is trucking and I always think these videos aren’t helping anyone. So again thank you and Just Keep Trucking!!! ✌️🫡
Well I really appreciate what you do and to be honest I’ve been watching your videos a lot because when I have a problem with my Truck I go to your page and see if that was something that you had worked on !! lol ! But for real thank you again for all you do for us drivers that appreciate someone like you !! God bless you my friend and keep Trucking 🙏🙏🙏✝️
@@lauriemckernan7369 Thank you for the support and comments like these makes me want to share and help as much as I can when I encounter an issue and resolve it. Thank you for watching and Just Keep Trucking!!!
Much blessings and always thankful for your help. U did a video on the air dryer filter and purge valve. I went ahead and attached mine because it was showing signs of needing maintenance. Let me just say damn!!!! It was embarrassing to see the build up of crap. In the end, everything turned out looking good. All systems back on track and working perfectly. Much thanks, Bredrin 🙏🏾🙏🏾
It’s always a good thing when I see that my videos helped someone cuz there aren’t a lot of helpful videos. Thank you for watching and Just Keep Trucking!!! 🫡👍
Another great video brother. Kept it up. When these engines get so many Mike's on them, it's just one thing after the other isn't it... Stay safe brother!
Well done! Very informative video! Had this problem with my paccar 2018 close 650k miles. Did install coolant hoses, flush coolant, changed coolant thermostat and new radiator due to the nipple hose cracking. Will test the air compressor! Thanks again.
@@dentrizzle I’m having same problem now, dealer wants to spend 6-9 hours to find the problem. I don’t want to spend too much labor for nothing. I want to cut down the chase. lol did you air compressor have problem with air previously or it was working normal? Mine is working fine, but maybe just minor problem that cause the pressure to coolant. How much did they charge you to replace labor and new compressor
@@isseacn Air compressor worked fine. Coolant system was being pressurized and it will be obvious with coolant literally blowing out of the system and also every time I stop the low coolant light would chime. I didn’t pay labor nor anything because I had replaced it myself. There’s a video on my channel. Hold this helps.
Oil will not always be creamy when a head gasket blows, it requires that the gasket blows between a oil and coolant jack which isn’t common, when a head gasket blows on a paccar it actually has a weep hole built into the head gasket will that build up and will leak behind the turbo indicating a blown head gasket
Have the same problem now. Already replaced thermostat, water pump, and radiator. I guess from the pressure. Truck is not running hot at all and I see no signs of coolant on dipstick or oil. It’s using coolant and pushing out. Recently I have to add coolant as there’s a leak somewhere. Could the compressor be using coolant. What do you think? Thanks for your videos. Learned a lot in your videos.
That was also some of the symptoms of a bad air compressor when mine was bad. The compressor actually pushing coolant through your air system. You should see it where your air blows off around the back.
From what I’ve learned most blown head gasket is due to overheating. This would also caused the head and block to warp so they have the machine both to get a flat surface. If they are warp and they keep replacing head gasket, it will break again. This is all I know. Hope it helps.
Great video brother. I am on process buying a Peterbilt or T680 with Paccar engine. So far how is the MX13 performing on your truck? About mileage per gallon? Any big issues? Thank you for sharing this information. Cheers from Calgary, Canada 🇨🇦
@@WolfNathan All in all it’s has been a pretty reliable motor no matter what you may see or hear others say as long as you keep up on maintenance “as you realize I do my own.” I have the Mx13 EPA 17 and it’s not the fastest or strongest but it gets the job done. A Freightliner Cascadia out pulls me every time up a mountain lol. The major problems for these are DPF and I haven’t had any except sensors which will eventually go bad on any vehicle. Again I maintain as I should. As in issues I record almost all of them on the channel and I wouldn’t say they are major problems but more common issues. All in all if you maintain the truck as you should it will last. Bought at 300k and now at 770k. I 👍would buy another Paccar. Mileage range from 5.8 to 7.4 at average 76k pounds depending on mountains or flat lands. Hope this epistle helps 🫡👍
@@dentrizzle I appreciate your reply. You are right, maintenance will be the key. I sold my Volvo with 1.3 million miles. All original, only replaced the Ishift clutch. I am a little bit skeptical about the Cummins or Detroit. Last week I was working with a Peterbilt with a Paccar 510, pulling a B-train tank, I was impressed with the performance. Thanks again…
I do have the same issue coolant was blowing out of the relief valve sometimes. Also when I fill in the reservoir and go down hill I get check engine light on and low coolant light. As soon as open the reservoir cap it comes back to normal level. Do you think it’s the same issue?
@@dweettbigg8422 Both are good engines and both will have flaws. I’ve never driven the X15 but heard they’re real good and most ppl swap the paccar to the X15. Been driving paccar since 2019 and I don’t mind it at all. It’s a very lazy engine but it gets the job done. Heard X15 pulls way stronger and faster. Freightliner out pulls me every time 😂😂😂😂
Because I wasn’t having overheating issues. Coolant was pushing out of the relief valve so some sort of pressure was introduced into to cooling system. Thanks for watching 👍
I've got a d13 engine with overheating issues. Changed waterpump and thermostat. Had pressure coming out overflow as well. Changing compressor now for my last option. If not back to company driving I go
Sometimes they are like that cuz diesel is oily based and it separates water and when they mix it’s a lil bit creamy hence we have to check our filters out and replace. Your keen to observe, I like that 🫡
My 2020 pete 579 was low trans air every so often yesterday while driving wrench light came on and truck immediately shut off like 5 seconds after light i pulled off road truck will crank veey well but not start had to get towed. Call peterbilt 800 number they say egr low pressure code..waiting on dealer to check monday...any thoughts
@@bronxbredboxtruckerb7521 I would have used my scan tool and figured it out from there. Crank no start can be several things like not enough fuel, bad unit pump, air entering fuel system or even fuel filters are clogged.
Called Pete hot line Saturday was told that earlier wasn't circulating on 1 code then another code that it was closed still waiting to hear from dealer with their diagnosis
I think you can as long as you get it inspected and it’s actually the gasket that’s broken or something like that. At the time when I discovered my issue I just replaced it cuz I was cut against time and it was my first time.
@@sanampreetbajwa2645 I think for that job they charge between 5-8 hours at $250 per hour at the dealership. I may be wrong but sometimes you have to take matters into your to your own hands.

It was my air compressor because there was coolant in the air system. I already replaced that air compressor for some time now and the issue was fixed. I just haven't edited the video and posted it as yet.
I have the same issue replaced egr Next month replaced compressor the cap pressure Truck work fine for few months them pressure on coolant again Take to dealer open valve cover there was coolant inside engine the funny part the oil stick and cap no signs of coolant decide to rebuilt engine
