Spent all that money on the interior & our in the muddy ass woods!!! Freaking BRILLIANT IDEA! This is what happens when idots get a little bit of jingle in their pockets!!!
Throw some chrome at it it'll be ok!
This guy is a hack ....But its fun to watch ...Keep up the good work 😂😂😂
We have long reached the point of diminishing returns in truck emissions... the cost of each incremental decrease in emissions is staggering, both in $$$ and in additional repair expenses...
All started with not finishing the international he got us hooked with Alex. But your right its haters. Bruce is always learning and we all love to watch. He gets lots of views. Keep up the good work Bruce.
The Jaltest diagnostic scanner is detecting low chrome levels.
I’m a tech at a dealer and I am certified in Mercedes truck engines also, I can tell you right now this dude has no fuckin idea what he’s talking about and Cojali couldn’t have picked a worse way to promote their product. We have all of the factory software and Cojali along with JPRO and neither compares to the factory software, it’s ok for aftermarket but lacks in many areas compared to factory software. There is no problem with the MCM on that Mercedes, the problem is that they can’t diagnose it correctly so they’re sending it to their toothless hillbilly friend to delete the after treatment programming from it, in all my years I’ve never seen a hole burnt completely through the doc or dpf, those low pressures are perfectly normal. Next time we see that truck it will probably be blowing black smoke and bouncing off of the rev limiter. And there is going to be a hole in the doc/dpf after they knock the internals out of it once they get the deleted mcm back. I wonder if he knows that is a very heafty EPA fine tampering with the emissions system weather it’s off road or on road? Lot’s of misinformation in this video. The only reason I posted this is because I feel that guys like this give real highly trained technicians a bad rap. You wouldn’t believe how many problems I’ve had to straighten out from guys fuckin with shit they shouldn’t be. And Jesus Christ do a proper electrical and air system diagnostic on that cab over instead of throwing parts at it.
As another tech at a dealer and certified in Mercedes, Detroit and Cummins I fully agree with the statement above.. I see so much misdiagnosed and messed up shit from others it’s so cringe... best place to take it to is the people who specialize and know how to TRULY diagnose the truck properly..
This video and him saying the low pressure were a Hole in the dpf made me cringe.
If you left it alone you be fine young kids always want to tinker and play truckdriver making black coal, not satisfied with a 240 hp cummins L 10 all you need.
That air compressor on the cabover is pushing oil, that's coked oil inside the dryer. Get the compressor up to snuff, replace the entire line from the compressor to the dryer. Replace the reference line to the air governor that melted as well.
Bruce Wilson out here stretching frames but doesn’t know how to open an air filter🤣🤣🤣
@j bowers still has a filter and has to be opened. He's a fucking chump.
My worry is blue collar. You've turned the fuel up way too much on an old motor. You're washing cylinder walls and starting to sling oil. It'll be the same on the airforce truck but it'll overheat also. Just look at the radiator. It's 1/2 what it needs to be for running in the south. Good Luck.
Don't believe he is going to finish the air force truck. Afterall, the frame is already hosed. Either way, his money and truck. Let the motor bow then question why it did.
Old trucks ALWAYS continuously break if you're driving them, it's just the way it is. Any work trucks that are working break, new or old, Period
Take the EGR valve off it and cleans the hole lot down with brake cleaner the merc engines are well knowing for blocking up on the egr witch will coz the engine to loss power and take longer to get up to top speed I had one the same problem
I remember when i had a DPF filter on my truck..
Those were sad days..
Glad there behind me now
If that thing burns oil or if the egr cooler is leaking burning coolant it will cause soot build up, plus if smoke is coming out the exhaust the dpf is more than likely cracked
That's one awesome video 👍
I feel your pain running older trucks it takes quite a while to get all the problems sorted keep at it it's so rewarding in the end
God-bless and stay safe out there 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Bruce Jenner is the Pinocchio of mechanics.... oNe dAY iLl bE a ReAL mECaNic
Oh funny... "Hey guys, I let someone rip a door off a Dodge Ram with my trailer... Whelp, time to sell it..."
See if that jaltest can scan to see how much more Chrome you need to add to get your truck really "work ready" not just UA-cam work ready lolol.
Through some more chrome on it. That also seems to fix your problems
Bout time you get your dot number and remove the private use sign from the truck eh? It's only a matter of time before one of your haters turns you in to dot for commercial use of a private tractor.
the good thing is getting things fixed before it became a bigger problem. i always did like the cab overs because going through places that are limited in space they can go through a little better than the normal long nose trucks
Red mud flaps made engine go to hell👀
Cross the chains dude cross the chains. Left hook truck goes to the right hook trailer. Right hook truck goes to right hook trailer. Thats the proper way to secure the load and provides more stability to the load
I drive Monday through Friday a 2019 50k on it now I’ll just say western stars are not what they used to be since Daimler bought them my mirror fell off yesterday passenger step is falling off uncomfortable as hell and don’t get me started on the Detroit dd13 under the hood and its egr and def and dpf system My step dad had a 94 4964 long hood narrow cab four and a quarter cat under the hood now that was a truck I hate all this new junk out there today I’ll keep my kenworth cabover and Pete cabover I own forever show my son what trucks really are!!! F*^% the EPA
My dd13 is cranked at 505hp with a fuller ultra shift plus 13spd auto out pulls our paccars all day long. And mother of god yes the fucking spot mirrors gone through 3 of them and decided to gorilla glue them both and got rid of the west coast mirror shake the same way.
@Don Mccord love your kenworth watched a few of your videos mate greetings from the UK
I run a 84 westernstar 310wb b model cat. Its reliable unlike this new shit. Also have a 86 359 pete.
What happens when you stick all your money into the bling and not the mechanical components!
EP1 We bought a 30 year old truck sitting in a junkyared. We are gonna fix it up and get it to work. EP6 So we spent 10K on Chrome, and 10K on interior and she is ready to go to work. Ep7 So it turns out there is a reason this truck was sitting in the junk yard missing 4 wheels and hadn't been ran in a few years. It looks like she needs some mechanical work.
How we clean the DPF filters on Cummins is we power wash them. DONT get too close with it as you will blow the filter apart. Also when you replace the FILTER you must reset the ASH level inside the ECM otherwise it will keep reading its full.
Those air dryers are a bendix ad-9. That black cylinder is the air filter and unscrews using a breaker bar with a strap attachment once you bleed the air out of the truck. You will need to mount the bottom piece back onto frame without the black canister cap then you can get the filter off otherwise you'll never get enough leverage to get it off.
It’s a off-road truck, you will have to force it to regen monthly. Autel is the system I like
He runs diagnostics on camera. Magically he finds the problem off camera.
Off camera is when the actual mechanic comes in to diagnose and fix the problem.
Never was a problem.. that computer ain’t gettin a circuit fixed 😂😂😂 it’s goin to get EPA fixed 😂😂😂
blownpony99 that’s exactly what I said, an just warned him that making it that obvious on film is not a smart idea.
Autel diagnostic equipment covers about a quarter of what the jaltest equipment covers. My company has been using it for roughly two years and we still arent using the system to it’s full potential due to the size and complexity of everything. You can literally scan anything with this scanner. This system is the future of diagnostic equipment if you’re willing to spend the money
Hey! Autel is a good solution, but we would like to invite you to a free demo, so you can compare coverage and versatility! You would be surprised how many things Jaltest can do that you wouldn’t expect! calendly.com/jaltest-diagnostics/commercial-vehicles-demo
I'm stoked he's coming to my state. Pretty awesome. I live in Lexington but I work in columbia so I hope to possibly see him drive by or maybe even run into him to say what's up.
You could never go wrong with western star, I still actually like the 2014 Western Star 5700XL.
I like western stars but not a fan at they don't turn very well I felt like they turned worse than my peterbuilt 389
Should have sold Blue Collar when you had the chance ....... :( LOL
Anyone else notice all the hot shot secrets decals have disappeared 🤔
Is the chop shop still open?
@@sersp I think somebody is come to fix the air force chop? So I guess it big truck chops now. Lol
These two you are busy today how dare delivered army truck, problem with your truck now it is going get it all fixed and get your trailer can't wait to see it you guys have a good day God bless
Gimme a holler bruce I got the low down on a chrome cab over
Southport truck in Tampa sells all the parts you need for your freight shaker. They will deliver too.
How did you determine the ECM had an issue?
A man that can't fix his own trucks but tries to work on other people's trucks
Well I love Bruce and his life - I look forward to a new instalment everyday. I am a bit worried about the black smoke pollution coming off the cabover though. Keep it coming!
Similar to the software I use on 9L cummins and detroit engines. Cummins Insite gives step by step troubleshooting and diagnostic help. On a cummins you have to reset the dpf parameters after replacing the dpf.
Hey! We at Jaltest also have step by step troubleshooting, a lot of technical information and bidirectional actions, there’s even real pictures of where the actual component is located with a big red dot so that there is no confusion! We would like to invite you to an online demo. We are sure you will love Jaltest! calendly.com/jaltest-diagnostics/commercial-vehicles-demo
i bet that if you put a modern truck daycab on those militairy trucks they would make verry good offroad / logging trucks
You should build a semi dragster truck on the channel that would awesome
Awesome video Bruce love watching your videos and love that army semi
Looks like the compressor is passing oil into the air system.
need to take the compressor inlet away from the truck inlet, give it its own little air filter
Jealousy is a disease and all you haters have it. Bruce keep doing what your doing and all these haters can just get a life.
Need to get an infrared temp gun and compare the actual temp to what the computer see and tells you
I ALWAYS like and comment on Bruce’s videos, even though he’s a schmuck 👍
Weld some plugs in the egr, gut the dpf and have someone tune it. Had it done to a mack that had a ton of emissions problems and saved us a ton of money in the long run. Just dont turn it up to much that it smokes a lot or you might get some looks from dot.
Meet and greet in Greenville SC !
I love western stars drove a 1996 Western Star 4964 with 525 Hp N14 Cummins and 15 speed most reliable and comfortable truck i ever drove
Look for soot streaks on your stack, that indicates a failed dpf. If he had injectors fail based on how long he ran it I would suspect possible clogged egr, egr valve, aft injector, or dpf. You would be surprised what cleaning the aft injector does for the quality of regens.
Props to your work ethic Bruce! Your videos keep improving.
@@birddog0077 oooh I didn't know video making set the standards for work ethic these days
@@MrJoe1129uscg Oh, you're right. It only counts as "work" if you are getting double hernias everyday.
Air leaks can be a pain. Stay Safe✌🏽
Definitely not a heavy truck mechanic but giving it a go
Dude! Put the computer away. You couldn’t get out of a paper bag if you had help!
U with your negative comments. You sir are a douchebag. Ppl learn from hands on and by doing the work and making mistakes. Obviously ur an idiot
It’s a free country and I’m entitled to my opinions. As you are to yours, even thought you a dumbass!
🤣 u got some weak jokes. If u don't like bruce then move around why just be a troll on his page with negativity? Really says alot about your character
Word for the wise:
"Fix your mechanical issues first, then add bling"
Next a project: Deleting the DPF off this truck.
Pretend truck driver now pretend mechanic obviously blinded by chrome
Those air dryers need to be changed now and then. I'm guessing that one was never was changed.
Used to change them here kin Indiana every October so it was in top condition for the winter.
its just filled with round balls in side , cools the air down and the condensate get blown out.
I'm learning English because of your videos
air tanks must be drained daily when in use daily.
I am not sure why people are so hateful on here. I don’t think he has said he is a expert on all things about trucks. He is just a regular guy who learns as he goes. If you all hate what he does so bad why do you watch his channel? Geeze people cut him some slack. Or better yet why don’t you all try your own channel if you are such experts. I Enjoy your videos Bruce!
Hopefully you enjoy your visit to Columbia sc

Hi from uk we use texa and jaltest, that mercedes/ dd engine can send you round in circles, sometimes no diagnostic equipment will give you a difinitive anewer, after 50 yrs in truck repairs i feel the best days are behind us, l still have 2x 3408 and 2x 3406 cats aswell as kt 450 cummins that we occasionlly run here as wreckers, when they are done so am i, regards,

Sorry don't mean to be a leaking tap but I really love the blue collar freightliner it's a beautiful truck
I'd take a look at the compressor too after seeing that crud in there.
Cant fix his old easy truck. But tries to work on someone else's. All that chrome aint gonna save it. Also that no cdl is still a problem
Not to defend Bruce but he posted a video a couple weeks ago showing his CDL. He went and took it at a friend's school. 🤔🤔
@@dhovat Doesn't have the license - just took the course.........Also, Trey Lewis - you drive a tractor hooked to any trailer on a state road - you have to have a CDL. Tractor by itself - not a problem. Learn the rules
That fault code only indicates that a high idle regen was aborted due to low coolant temp.
These clowns will probably delete the DPF and tell the owner the ECM was bad when all it needed was a thermostat.
Your massive air leak could also be a blown air pot. I haven't seen a bad enough leak from the tractor protection valve to deplete the air system down to 50psi from 120psi. Get your buddy Austin to release the park brake and apply the brakes. See where it is leaking from, easy. You've got lots of suggestions for the DPF on that Westernstar, I won't bore you with information.
Columbia! South Carolina!
Bruce excelente video
The chains man, you got to get right with the chains.
Love the truck and be safe
Love the trucks man keep rocking
Poor dryer filter maintenance will let desiccant out and into the air system
loving the vids keep them up
That leaking air line could be the issue, the fault code was for low coolant temp abort of high idle Regen. If that engine fan isnt disengaging all the way ot can cool down past the low level limit for regen. Repair that air line and try to get it to do a manual regen. That's most likely your issue
The chrome doesn't chrome anymore
How did you get from filter to bad ECM circuit?
are you allergic to seat belts?
So is he a customer or are you looking at the truck?
hi to you great on the truck an a great video tonigth
Best thing you can do is bin the DPF. They are garage.
Talk about click bait about that 389. Imagine that. Didn’t buy the motherfuckin thing 🤦🏼♂️
“What’s going guys”
best fix for the western star even tho it take so doin to make gauges work right is put a cat 3406b in her and just never sell her that way no one finds out :)
It's hard to beat them Bostrom air ride seats for driver comfort!
i really love the blue collar, in fact I was inspired to put it in game
AWESOME VIDEO BRUCE!
Man i sure would love to have one of them skidders sittin on the yard.. one day all in time with hard work leg healin now from dumbass attack an not thinkin when cuttin a down tree oh well i will work slower next time
Hi Bruce i watch a lot if not all your vids and think you should really invest on a clip on mic for your shirt as when you turn or move around away from the camera you often loose your audio and we cant here what you say.
I came here for the comments!
I had that exact skidder as a toy as a kid.
What’s with all the hate, I guess it just has to comes with the growth it’s ****ing obviously Bruce knows what’s going on with mechanics! This is the haters mentality “ I hate this guy cause he blew up doing the same thing I’ve been doing for years, so I’ll just watch his videos and clown on every mistake possible.” A view is still a view dic. With all your views he’s now able to pay someone to come work on his stuff instead of having to do it his self. Part of the American dream. Bruce keep doing what you do bro fuck the hate it comes with the success.
Idiots seriously think I have time to make a fake profile 😂😂 I’m about to put you on payroll for keeping up with all the trolls
Marcus, what does Bruce owe you? Just asking why should he do as you say? Does he belong to you are you his dad?
Alex I know I didn’t birth you but you’re a good brother
Love
Mom😘💕
You and everyone who says haters come with the success sound stupid. You act like none of these youtubers aren't douche bags.
@@norm1233 itsfunny people say haters just because other ppl disagree or because he always does rhings so backwards and wonders why things go the way they do and cause u say anything different at all that agree u are a hater according to others
