- In this video we are working on a Grey Old Freightliner with a Cat C-12 in it. Engine definitely has a miss, but is it a major problem or a little one? @AdeptApe on Venmo or AdeptApe@yahoo.com on PayPal for donations, thank you so much for supporting the channel!

I got you the 9/32 driver you require. I’ll leave it at the front desk tomorrow after work. Thanks for the great caterpillar videos
I got them, a man of your word and thank you.
@@AdeptApe I’m not even back to work yet! And you’re welcome!!
I could understand if you are not able to say the exact amount, but for this job, what did it set back the customer?
For the torque driver, get a 1/4 hex to 1/4 square drive adapter then just use your 9/32 socket.
Was about to suggest this.
Wera makes a good one. If you get their “tool check” it has that bit and a ton of other good ones as well.
Simple fixes like that are always the best! God bless people that actually keep their equipment clean and maintained, it makes a world of difference to the people that have to fix them when they’re not a greasy oily mess or so rusted up that you have to heat every nut and bolt to take anything apart. Great vid bud 👍
When you lifted the wire terminal off the injector and I saw the dirty underside of it, I knew it wasn't making contact. Nice to have a simple fix every now and then.
A pleasant surprise to see the odd episode where the dollar-signs aren`t stacking up higher and higher as the technician investigates the problem. And by that, I mean the technician isn`t finding more and more and more damage that requires parts be replaced. Sure, it`s nice to see damaged machines get fixed and live on, but it`s refreshing to see an easy fix once in a while 😎
What happened to that service truck
Curious about the destruction of the service truck in the yard?
That service truck took a good shot or rolled over it looks
😂 I was thinking same thing but maybe someone was hurt or killed in it so he wouldn't say anything
Ah, 5:45 can we get an explanation for that F'd up service truck?
Injector fail due to cat’s ability to build junk parts
0:10 , wow, a freightliner dash that’s not in pieces.
I am jealous. My truck is completely falling apart.
That was easy! Now, take the rest of the day off, with pay!! Lol
Congratulations on your 3yrs 🎉 love your videos 💪🇺🇸
@AdeptApe I have seen that cracked injector body on a C9 injector! It was the rear engine in a 627G. Tons of smoke, same deal, no clue of the cause.
How often do you find something more simple like this? Stay safe and healthy. 9/32 use to be common on older vehicles. NAPA use to have a set with them, now Tractor supply or Harbor freight probably has a cheap set you are not going to apply much torque.
Nice job you’re so smart..I’d put a plastic bag over filter dump just sayin
Do like I do use a small bag on the dust cap
Josh I love seeing how you verify things. There was a miss, there was a fault for cyl 6 misfire, and yet you still make sure the miss is on cyl 6. Verification like that saves so much time and money on misdiagnosis'. So great to see, very good for the customer.
I never had any luck doing a one cylinder click test. Always clicks one time and stops. So if I need to test one that is intermittent, I do a two cylinder. Naturally the two that share the common. You must have felt the problem was under the valve cover. As I like to pull the base connector first and since it was a open, I jump the circuit and make it a short. Then plug it back up and see if fault returns. I like to replace the nut connector as it was arcing and position the terminal in another spot as well. And don't yell at me, I have replaced broken springs on EUI's and solenoid's. On high mileage engines I don't like putting one new injector with a bunch of worn out ones. Just finished up a 7FB fuel system job in a PACCAR. Haven't seen one of them in awhile, so I had to paint it white. Sort of a rare truck, had air lift on the hood, factory installed low coolant level sensor, manual tach and speedo drive cables. It was also in a serial number range that I dislike. Cat put a plastic filter screen in the fuel system camshaft. Over time it can melt, come apart and or back out. I keep one in my tool box, as we don't stock them. Also had to put a snubber in the manual fuel psi connector, to slow down the bounce. Still had a bounce, told customer to add another one and see how it functions. And a 7LG ECM only came in with EUI codes. All six EUI codes was logged. They had a problem of getting water in the ECM. On the fresh air line, I make it real long hose and put at least three coils in the hose to trap any moisture. On the boost hose you have to order a special fitting from vintage parts. Replace hose fitting etc. Last time I priced a REMAN ECM, TDC, and personality module was, 8.5K. Most personality modes now are obsolete and you cannot get them any more. I purchased a adapter from torque wrench to socket. www.amazon.com/PANOVO-Change-Adapter-Electric-Screwdriver/dp/B076SDNJ8M/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=9%2F32+nut+driver+bit&qid=1696697144&sr=8-5
When the big boss asked what the problem was with the gray Freightliner, I’ll bet you screamed “DEEZ NUTS!” Okay - maybe not.
I know why that CAT ENGINE IS MISFIRING. Its rebelling for being placed into a freight liner. 😂
Destruction of the week should have been that service truck that was in a accident, hopefully the tech is ok!
I’ve seen those nuts come loose and cause a miss twice, it’s always nice win to tell the customer it was a quick and cheap fix especially when they used to deal with a different shop in the area
9/32? i actually HAVE one of these in what you need that came in a multikit from, unbelievably, Black and Decker. and, if memory serves, that's also the same size as House Trailer panel screws on the exterior.
1/4” socket driver will allow your 9/32 socket torque wrench to work, it’ll make the tool taller obviously and may not work in some situations, i don’t know where you get a 9/32 with hex shaft, maybe make one?
you gave yourself away where you work I grew up three blocks from there. good video I have a 3208T that seems to be over fueling bad it just smokes don't think it is engine oil I did at first thinking they started it with starting fluid and broke rings but it pulls really good for that any ideas to look for on that it is in a 86 L8000 Ford truck thanks i may have a 9/32 driver you can have
I’ve had this exact problem with my truck after having the dealer put a head on my truck. Every nut backed of all the injectors.
Thanks sir 🙏
If you see a sign of Moisture on deep stick what does it mean? Because I have an MXS C-15 it has a little bit of moisture in deep stick and blow smock in the bottom of birthing pipe
Found it. 9/32 nut driver bit at McMaster part number 54515A54.
I have a magnetic bit set I bought at harbor freight. I've had it for many years. It has a 9/32 bit. I looked at harbor freight and see they still sell a set with a 9/32.
harbor freight includes 9/32 in their $4 nut setter kit. $12 for the impact rated set.
Wish I had a mobile PRO like you in my area. BTW I have a Buddy and Piper.
For the injector - even at six sigma, one in a million parts is gonna be faulty. Of course, engineers do our best to aim higher, but everything has an error rate. That one must have been just a bit overhardened, and as metal fatigue got to it, it blew up catastrophically.
Should be able to pick one up at Napa pretty easy if not get the 1/4 hex to 1/4 square adapter and use a regular socket....9/32 is an extremely common size in the automotive world for body panels, hvac boxes, and dashes....especially on older vehicles they use those thing everywhere
Had one in a Sterling last week that #3 had a shorted connection to the engine brake housing.
Anytime I see these engines come in for a misfire, I'm hoping the camshaft didn't go down.
I think someone is trying to trick you off 😂 probably a hidden camera somewhere
Wiha tools, long 9/32 nut drivers for $6.47
Happy work anniversary!
Harbor freight has a set of 1/4 shaft hex drivers that have served me well. The SAE set includes a 9/32.
Broken injectors are wery often on marine c9, don't know is it because of bad diesel or what but most of the times when I do get a not working injector on cutout test it comes out like that 😕 some times the tip gets stuck in head 🤬
I have a couple of those 9/32 nut sets laying around in various boxes.
It's nice to get an "easy one" every now and then...
The Napa filters don't get the Josh thumb up seal of approval.
Don’t know if ur willing to buy off the jungle website but they sell 9/32 nut driver bits in there
Did Fordyce come from North Dakota by chance Think i know him.
@5:37 so what’s the story with the totaled service truck?? That thing is mangled to say the least
$5,000 shop bill for a loose injector connector😂😂
5:44 holy service truck accident!! :(
My Fat Wrench came with a ¼ hex x ¼ square socket adapter
At 5:45, is that a service truck that got run over by a loader?
Saw that too!
Mechanic must have been having a rough day.
Can you start doing before and after sound clips of the trucks you repair?
Story behind that service truck thats smashed?
Water in fuel will break injectors like that.
Did my boy Fordyce get a video appearance!?
happy aniversary josh and for a change you also got a very pleasant walk in the park with this one! 🎉
Love you work Ape, excellent video.
Great video thank you for sharing
What’s up with the wrecked service truck?
watched a video of a c-7 repair. 2005 RV discovery. Guy purchased 2 injectors and mech who does not work on diesels is replacing. Unplug the harness and nothing changes? I turned it off, gave him the thumbs up, but I could not watch no more . You have corrupted me.... Keep the great videos you do!
Busting the solenoids studs when torqueing them is nothing. You should see the cores of these EUI injectors when they get remanufactured.
Bent sideways, bent together, vent away from each other, or just twisted off.
The early 3176 / 3196 with 1st gen Colenoid driven actuators to the 2nd gen with solenoid actuators.
Damage damage damage...
Destruction of week. I've seen that happen on an early 7.3DIT which oddly enough was in an F450 Caterpillar field service truck. The CAT guy just kept running it. I chewed him out. He thought it was funny having fire and aluminum coming out the tail pipe. I though the guy was a jerk for running the thing. Sure it was under warranty but he turned the repair into a $14K and labor-intense job when it should have been a $500, 2-hour job. Bad CAT guy. He's lucky the whole truck didn't burn up.
9/32 I always wondered what that thing was in the set for
WTF happened to that truck in the yard?
Hi Josh.
🇬🇧Greetings from the UK.🇬🇧
Love your videos . Having just watched your latest (Old Grey Freightliner) and was amazed at the size of the dealership when you drove the vehicle round to it’s bay.
Just how big is it?
Whats the story with that service truck at 5:45? 😮
If someone was in there before you, I can't blame them for being skittish about over-tightening those nuts. First time inside my 04 C-12 I broke one of those studs right off. Crazy how easy it was to break it.
No. Never on a cat. A cracked tip on a volvo once.
Congrats on your third year...
That’s really nice on that injector….. I seen that on an E-Tech Mack before but they’re just pencil injectors…. Throwing flames and all out the stack… I can’t say I’ve ever seen that on any C-7 before… appreciate the videos
I haven’t had any problems with our C-12 in my departments ladder truck but we did have issues with the oil pressure sensor so we thought but it ended up being a clog in the return line. The sensor did go bad after awhile but both were fixed with no problems. It’s a 2002 and runs great 😊
Got a 9/32 if you want me to send your way!
Ya, that torque by feel system just really doesn't work. Keep the good stuff coming Josh.
A 9/32 Craftsman made in USA socket. You definitely had that for some time.
Just had the same problem with my Detroit after having some injectors replaced. Sadly i went a little too far with mine and broke a screw 🤦♂️
That cracked injector I have seen from fuel restriction before causing the injector to fire dry and heat up and crack and also water I have seen cause that as well.On cats it rare it’s restriction because of how it receives fuel from the head but I can say with confidence that crack is caused from heat most likely because of lack of lubrication. On 2 cycle Detriots injectors will do that when the return valve gets plugged up and the fuel flow pretty much dead heads and bam injector explodes.
One can almost conclude that taking good care of your equipment keeps your problems small🤔 (Happy 3rd!)
How much was this repair?
Could water have caused that c7 injector failure? I've heard of it happening to Detroit's.
Put a baggy on it with a rubber band
Saw a C10 injector crack like that. It actually split enough a little piece came off. No clue what caused it.
Like to see you do this work without ET
1/4" hex to 1/4" or 3/8" square adapter. Use any socket you want. Tool truck should have one.
I used to be a diesel mechanic in the field, I wish I took more pictures before finding your channel the shit I’ve seen would have filled up your destruction of the week moments for weeks
The Wheeler Fat wrench is an amazing tool, I use it for it’s intended purpose of firearms maintenance lol
For those looking for one you can get them most sporting goods stores and websites in a variety of kits Wotan other tools you may need for things like scope mounting.
I found a bunch of those 9/32 drivers on Amazon. I actually have 2 or 3 kits with that size nut driver. I am guessing they may not be that available on the expensive tool trucks.
That calls for a BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice catch. Weird that it wasn't intermittent.
I know you aren't cheap, but every diesel I own would be serviced by you if I lived out west.
Did you ever get a CDL, Josh? Seeing as you work with trucks all day.
8:16. MADE IN CHINAAAA
Josh just zip tie a sandwich bag to the air cleaner dust boot. I know sounds simple but it works.
We have a couple guys at my shop, where if something is very stuck, default is going straight to the air hammer.
Josh use a 1/4 hex driver adaptor for your 9/32 socket on the fat wrench
I'm usually thinking in the back of my head wonder if I'm actually going to be that lucky that it was something so simple when I work on something and find a simple fix like that ! Glad for tge customer that that was all that was wrong ! Great troubleshooting there ! 👍👍
The leaves are changing colors, I tell you what. My favorite part of the video
A 5.5 mm will fit a 9/32
Every shop has that one guy who can make ear loss levels of noise changing wiper blades.
Wiha makes a magnetic nut driver bit in 9/32 I emailed you a link
One of my Craftsman bit sets came with a 9/32 nut driver.
Never seen that on a cat engine, but had a N14 cummins that blew the end clean off the injector. Had been running on fuel with salt water in it and went bang
This guy is brilliant. I love how nonchalant he is about being the smartest kid in the class.
