You should not have paid the $490 , its the dealer that stretched the belt to to take off the water pump. After installing back on its starter slipping (thats why it was making noise) , the belt was not making noise when you took it in for the leaking water pump. Also they double charged you for the labor on the belt , they had to take it off to change the water pump. Call your dealer make some noise and get a full refund on the belt.
belt did not get stretched, the belt tensioners sieze up and when you move them to remove the belt they will not put the proper tension back onto the belt, its a known issue, belts are also a wear item just like brakes and clutch items

IMO get the hotel room. Have them go over truck. I noticed there is nationwide road repair, towing (but not recovery) $400 a yr for semi. If they fix it for parts cost.

Welcome to the wonderful world of OTR trucking.... You’d think dealers would keep common parts like water pumps, radiator system parts, alternator and turbo parts around for just in case, but I guess that would make too much sense. Them electric logs don’t seem to work out with down time... Breakdowns are the one thing I will never miss.
Yousiff Good afternoon Sorry about the truck issues , you need to find a good mechanic in your town for truck maintenance and repairs. In wich city you leave ? Hope you start Trucking tomorrow. Regards Carlos Aguirre
Kenworth actually buys directly from Cummins and distributes parts through their own PACCAR warehouses to their dealer. Some dealers do not have an account at the local Cummins distributor, warranty policies may throw a wrench into your dealer buying a water pump from another OE dealer as well as prices may be locked.
You're exactly right. It's naive to think the dealers are 'so dumb' that don't check other parts suppliers. I'm a forklift mechanic and our factory warranty parts HAVE to come from the manufacture, END OF, we cant just get the part from another supplier and send the bill to the OEM, it doesn't work like that! 😂 If we had to pay for the parts, (e.g machine maybe out of manufacturers warranty but sold 2nd hand with our own warranty) than we still wouldn't be getting the part from another dealer, we'd get maybe a 40-50% discount from the OEM but from another dealer we'd be paying close to retail. Thats why they don't check other dealers for parts availability - unless that dealer has multiple depots and will check the others buts that's as far as it goes.
I'd bet money they have the pump in stock. But because that job is listed as a warranty, they don't take stock parts. Have seen it many many times. My cousin worked at a dealer also and it was their policy to order and wait on parts for any warranty work. Had it happen to me on a 2007 isx Cummins. When my egr went out and they said 2 days for parts. Walked out side and called parts department at the dealer I was at and they had multiple on stock...ended up buying out of pocket and submitting warranty papers myself
If the repair bills keep coming in at this price your soon gonna be begging for another f350 i think! That was basically 75k trouble free miles with only drivers lack of knowledge causing the transmission problem
I’m sure the mechanic knew that noise was coming from the belt when they gave you the keys back 💡 Is it just me, or that seemed kind of shady to everyone else? If there was no noise coming from the belt before, then there shouldn’t have been any noise coming from it after the water pump was replaced 🧐 Once the pump was replaced, it should have been good. What was the name of that shop again sir, so other drivers will be aware.
They probably knew the belt got antifreeze on it and rolled the dice on not replacing it . I was always taught when a belt gets antifreeze on it , it gets replaced for this very reason
It has been extremely difficult getting certain parts from cummins lately as the loss of production has finally caught up and there inventory is low. I've waited weeks for certain parts recently
Sure you picked up a clean truck with a few miles on it but there will always be those things like a water pump, compressor, etc that will need replacing but once it's done it's done for a good while, that's the good side I try to lean on, learning how to do those repairs will save you alot of downtime and labor $$$ I'm sure the DPF system will want attention in the near future but let's gets some miles on the road and recharge the bank account :-) Be safe out there Yousiff!
I think I would of done some hard research on what kind of semi to buy and which motor is gonna be worth my time to make money in this business. I really hope this is just a little bump in the road for you and you make some money in this thing.
You remind me of me in 10/2011. I took delivery of a 2012 T660 that I ordered with a 600HP Cummins and after two major engine failures it was garbage at 350,000 miles. Neither of which Cummins took responsibility for in compliance with their Progressive Warranty. It basically states that they will only warranty the 1st part that fails in the string of failures. That means that the first breakdown, a shattered porcelain fuel plunger took out all the injectors and although I was billed $14,000 they gave me back $6,000. This was because the triple plunger system had a potential to cavitation, ergo they changed the entire fuel delivery system. How I ended up responsible for all the injectors after initially purchasing $14,000 in extended warranties on all components to a minimum of 500,000 miles was beyond me. 100,000 miles later it turned a main bearing that pulled a rod and scored the block. A $35,000 engine bill of which Cummins said was sized by a pitting camshaft whose metal deposits caused the main bearing to turn and they offered to pay only for the camshaft. This was at 350,000 miles. I'd had the truck for 27months and I didn't have anywhere near that amount on hand to repair and had to forfeit the truck to auction and was on the hook for the remainder. 10 years after purchase, I'm still paying for that POS Cummins Engine. Buyer beware, Yousuf! Buyer beware. You should get rid of that red devil before it comes after you. Get yourself a Detroit in, say, a Western Star 5700XE. That's a similar style. You'd love it.
Pretty sure that wasn't the belts but the vgt turbo doing it's full movement cycle to clean off any soot on the veins. Should basically do that almost every time you shut it off
All KW have same problems with the door, I have 2019 T680 KW , 400k miles, 3 years and been in shop 7 months and spend $-25k all ready in maintenance, that’s not including tires , oil , battery 🔋 or Pm :) just service 25k braking down:)
I agree. Lube may fix the problem. I hear doors on cars clicking often. Let to run dry, the hinge will fail. I periodically use a spray lube on my doors.
Not the dealers fault its actually his fault because he is purchasing a used vehicle that has been sitting for a while. Before you buy any car or truck that has been sitting on the lot you the buyer are supposed to check everything thoroughly, test drive it for at least an hour up the hills and curves check for vibrations, any leaks or unusual sounds drive it to its maximum limits and if nothing breaks during the test drive then make the purchase decision. Unfortunately too many idiots buying blindfolded
It's a good habit to answer your phone. I used to do the same as you. Until one day I got a call from new Jersey I didn't answer they let a voice mail my friend had a vehicle accident and was killed we were business partners so they called my number from a business card his wallet and cell phone was lost in the accident. Anyway it doesn't take much effort to answer the phone.
I rather just get a new truck because when you factor in labor, the tow, parts, the money you missed out on while broke down, the hotel room or rental car home. You better off just making a higher payment and not having a worry about a break down at all.
Back in the early seventies a delivery driver show up with a new truck. He told us that each time his company got a new truck their head mechanic had all the mechanics tighten all the nuts, bolts, screws. They frequently found that fasteners were not torqued to specification. Lesson learned.
That's not why they charge a markup on the parts from Cummins they will order a part for $500 and then charge full retail or even up change so that $500 part is now $800 or $1,000 for it so as far as the dealerships concerned they ain't losing any money if your truck's parked there for 3 weeks sometimes they will even charge you storage on your bill.
You are the coolest man handling this problem, water pump on a new vehicle is a bad omen what kind of service will you get in the future, what is the warranty on a new truck
I SEE WHAT YOURE DOING! This is how it works.... EXPEDITE VAN to HOTSHOT TRUCK EXPEDITE to SEMI TRUCK EXPEDITE to TRAIN EXPEDITE to PLANE EXPEDITE to CARGO SHIP EXPEDITE...... YOU ARE ON TRACK! I AM A SUBSCRIBER AND APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEOS!
I live in Tulsa, ok. hope you had a good time here outside of the truck issues! not in the past nor now do I want to try truck driving but these videos are interesting! good luck pal.
This just happened to me on January 30. Which was a Saturday, I bought truck from Arrow Truck sales of Houston. The DEF sensor fail on me 290 mls into a 320 ml trip. On 30 mls to go and I had to get a tow.
Unfortunately Yousiff, they don't care about the trucker/customer, they care about their bottom line, especially on warranty claims. They likely have fixed pricing with Cummins/Detroit/Paccar/Volvo/CAT and hated to order outside of them.
Bought 2 used trucks with problems first one $2000 repair dealer covered $500 Palmer Kentworth second time I made sure I had extended warranty before purchasing best thing I could’ve done
Lol get this, we bought a New 2020 KW T880, not even 3k miles in the EGR goes out. Good thing we had a 750k mile warranty. But seriously, these trucks need to be improved on. Same with the damn harnesses. 2019 KW T880 went through 4 ABS harnesses before 250k miles. Crazy lol
Just seems funny that the mechanic that change the water pump didn't hear that belt screaming like that after putting it all back together and that he didn't say anything to you. unless he was afraid you were going to try to make them pay for it. Hopefully the place that you bought it from takes care of paying for that belt to I'm sure we'll find out in your next video. Can't wait to see you put that big truck to work
In 2016 I had purchased a use DD15 Freightliner cascadia 2011 with 4000 miles on it . ABS light on after like 70 miles away from the dealer. I called them to notify the problem the sent me to the nearest Freightliner dealer in Nebraska. Probl solved and I pent 1 day in Hotel . I drove that truck for 4 years and I paid it off early with my own saving so I ain't save a dime since I got the garbage. It took all the 💰the I work for . I used to spend 3 weeks out and 1 week off hey truck always had some repair like replacing some parts and money gone. I'll never again by a use truck in my life my experience with a use truck was terrible. I have a year with a brand new 2021 KW900 with Cummings on it 13 speeds and 550HP.
You’ll learn from experience that fleet trucks from Dealerships are the worst to buy. It’s better to buy directly from an O/O or private seller looking to get out the business or upgrade or something.
From the beginning we could tell the engine didnt sound healthy. I know in the comments its been said it didnt sound healthy. Ive always learned if its got new tires check all the fluids
water pump must be part which is always on stock I am supersized that you have to wait so long. And please do not move so much when you are outside I got dizzy :-)
So i work for a dealer that sells parts (not big rig stuff, but same concept). When we have a unit break down and need parts, we go to the manufacture because we get better prices and spending money with that company goes farther. When you buy parts from other companies/3rd you pay more, pay higher freight and some even charge you tax. So not surprising that did that.
that's surprising, most of the new trucks I've driven didn't have a water pump issue, instead it was the DPF system failing lol... and always about an hour into my drive...
That's crazy it just happened to us yesterday we bought gave us Release and in the parking lot of the Dealer the EMISSIONS light went crazy so now they will empty DEF and maybe check sensors and DPF filter FULL I have to pay rental car and hotel it's been 3 days paying that
So you got your truck back and you just start it without checking the coolant and oil levels.Dont ever trust anyones work.Should have had them fix your door since you were there so long.
if its eating coolant, your head gasket will not last long, man if possible Return this thing ASAP , and either buy new semi or keep the hotshot, best advise, gonna be big issues down the rd.
That is a worthless shop, period. Were the belt squealing when it was leaking? If not its a install labor problem from the shop. Hope you're successful young man. Almost 25 years of trucking, most are out to take a buck from you.
Most of the time if your dealing with a reputable dealership they’ll give you a 30 day warranty and you should invest in a warranty for any used equipment.
No ... you shouldn’t buy a used truck until you have enough experience to fix shit like water pumps alternators brakes etc yourself ... learn the ropes on the fleet’s dime ... but nowadays every immigrant thinks they can come to this country, buy a clapped out old fleet truck and go get rich in the trucking business with little to no experience ...
The first thing to remember in trucking, never trust anyone, especially salesmen. Good Luck.
Second thing, when parked for the night don't answer your door to 2 knocks only 3!!!!
Yes, and never ask for a water pump for a T680.

Welcome to the wonderful world of OTR trucking.... You’d think dealers would keep common parts like water pumps, radiator system parts, alternator and turbo parts around for just in case, but I guess that would make too much sense. Them electric logs don’t seem to work out with down time... Breakdowns are the one thing I will never miss.
Yousiff
Good afternoon
Sorry about the truck issues , you need to find a good mechanic in
your town for truck maintenance and repairs.
In wich city you leave ?
Hope you start Trucking tomorrow.
Regards
Carlos Aguirre
Where do you live Yousiff ?
@@carlosaguirre1313 do you a good mechanic in Dallas fort worth area?
Kenworth actually buys directly from Cummins and distributes parts through their own PACCAR warehouses to their dealer. Some dealers do not have an account at the local Cummins distributor, warranty policies may throw a wrench into your dealer buying a water pump from another OE dealer as well as prices may be locked.
You're exactly right.
It's naive to think the dealers are 'so dumb' that don't check other parts suppliers.
I'm a forklift mechanic and our factory warranty parts HAVE to come from the manufacture, END OF, we cant just get the part from another supplier and send the bill to the OEM, it doesn't work like that! 😂
If we had to pay for the parts, (e.g machine maybe out of manufacturers warranty but sold 2nd hand with our own warranty) than we still wouldn't be getting the part from another dealer, we'd get maybe a 40-50% discount from the OEM but from another dealer we'd be paying close to retail.
Thats why they don't check other dealers for parts availability - unless that dealer has multiple depots and will check the others buts that's as far as it goes.
I'd bet money they have the pump in stock. But because that job is listed as a warranty, they don't take stock parts. Have seen it many many times. My cousin worked at a dealer also and it was their policy to order and wait on parts for any warranty work. Had it happen to me on a 2007 isx Cummins. When my egr went out and they said 2 days for parts. Walked out side and called parts department at the dealer I was at and they had multiple on stock...ended up buying out of pocket and submitting warranty papers myself
If the repair bills keep coming in at this price your soon gonna be begging for another f350 i think! That was basically 75k trouble free miles with only drivers lack of knowledge causing the transmission problem
Exactly. Hopefully he learns from this mistake.
I’m sure the mechanic knew that noise was coming from the belt when they gave you the keys back 💡 Is it just me, or that seemed kind of shady to everyone else? If there was no noise coming from the belt before, then there shouldn’t have been any noise coming from it after the water pump was replaced 🧐 Once the pump was replaced, it should have been good. What was the name of that shop again sir, so other drivers will be aware.
CROOKS
They probably knew the belt got antifreeze on it and rolled the dice on not replacing it . I was always taught when a belt gets antifreeze on it , it gets replaced for this very reason
Cummins has shut down factory production due to covid is my understanding. May be why hard to get cummins parts currently
It has been extremely difficult getting certain parts from cummins lately as the loss of production has finally caught up and there inventory is low. I've waited weeks for certain parts recently
Sure you picked up a clean truck with a few miles on it but there will always be those things like a water pump, compressor, etc that will need replacing but once it's done it's done for a good while, that's the good side I try to lean on, learning how to do those repairs will save you alot of downtime and labor $$$ I'm sure the DPF system will want attention in the near future but let's gets some miles on the road and recharge the bank account :-) Be safe out there Yousiff!
Repair shops are supposed to order from their suppliers. Finding a part on their own is something they don’t/won’t do.
Screw the customers then huh...
I think I would of done some hard research on what kind of semi to buy and which motor is gonna be worth my time to make money in this business. I really hope this is just a little bump in the road for you and you make some money in this thing.
That truck seems like it will have a lot of downtime. You are a very optimistic person, and hardworking. I wish you luck.
LOL @4:35, my man want a ETA on the ETA!!!LOL
You remind me of me in 10/2011. I took delivery of a 2012 T660 that I ordered with a 600HP Cummins and after two major engine failures it was garbage at 350,000 miles. Neither of which Cummins took responsibility for in compliance with their Progressive Warranty. It basically states that they will only warranty the 1st part that fails in the string of failures. That means that the first breakdown, a shattered porcelain fuel plunger took out all the injectors and although I was billed $14,000 they gave me back $6,000. This was because the triple plunger system had a potential to cavitation, ergo they changed the entire fuel delivery system. How I ended up responsible for all the injectors after initially purchasing $14,000 in extended warranties on all components to a minimum of 500,000 miles was beyond me. 100,000 miles later it turned a main bearing that pulled a rod and scored the block. A $35,000 engine bill of which Cummins said was sized by a pitting camshaft whose metal deposits caused the main bearing to turn and they offered to pay only for the camshaft. This was at 350,000 miles. I'd had the truck for 27months and I didn't have anywhere near that amount on hand to repair and had to forfeit the truck to auction and was on the hook for the remainder. 10 years after purchase, I'm still paying for that POS Cummins Engine. Buyer beware, Yousuf! Buyer beware. You should get rid of that red devil before it comes after you. Get yourself a Detroit in, say, a Western Star 5700XE. That's a similar style. You'd love it.
Lot of negative comments, good vibe all day 🤙💪🏽
Pretty sure that wasn't the belts but the vgt turbo doing it's full movement cycle to clean off any soot on the veins. Should basically do that almost every time you shut it off
Yep.
All KW have same problems with the door, I have 2019 T680 KW , 400k miles, 3 years and been in shop 7 months and spend $-25k all ready in maintenance, that’s not including tires , oil , battery 🔋 or Pm :) just service 25k braking down:)
Man that's a lot to go through . By the way you can just put some lubrication on that door and see if that will help with clicking noise
I agree. Lube may fix the problem. I hear doors on cars clicking often. Let to run dry, the hinge will fail. I periodically use a spray lube on my doors.
The bolts are loose at the frame. It takes less than a minute to tighten them up. The little triangular piece is rattling.
You are so correct. No one wants to oil anything. Be willing to bet those door hinges etc. have never ever been lubricated with anything.
This truck is beautiful! 😍💓
The dealer should cough up the $$$ for the lost time, fuel, etc. They sold you a truck that had known issues! Avoid buying anything from them!
Not the dealers fault its actually his fault because he is purchasing a used vehicle that has been sitting for a while. Before you buy any car or truck that has been sitting on the lot you the buyer are supposed to check everything thoroughly, test drive it for at least an hour up the hills and curves check for vibrations, any leaks or unusual sounds drive it to its maximum limits and if nothing breaks during the test drive then make the purchase decision. Unfortunately too many idiots buying blindfolded
Leave a bad review they hate that it goes a long way trust me
You people are what’s wrong with the world today
@@derekchauvinisahero2010 you sound like a 75 yr old boomer
I’m the same way. Sometimes you gotta make calls for them and do the logistic part of things pertaining to your truck. They’re like lazy zombies 🧟
It's a good habit to answer your phone. I used to do the same as you. Until one day I got a call from new Jersey I didn't answer they let a voice mail my friend had a vehicle accident and was killed we were business partners so they called my number from a business card his wallet and cell phone was lost in the accident. Anyway it doesn't take much effort to answer the phone.
Welcome to the Fantasy of trucker life. You'll soon find out that your expectations will be crushed. Good luck to you
Very well said
Amen! lol
Good luck my friend. Your one of the backbones that keep America rolling!
I rather just get a new truck because when you factor in labor, the tow, parts, the money you missed out on while broke down, the hotel room or rental car home. You better off just making a higher payment and not having a worry about a break down at all.
Back in the early seventies a delivery driver show up with a new truck. He told us that each time his company got a new truck their head mechanic had all the mechanics tighten all the nuts, bolts, screws. They frequently found that fasteners were not torqued to specification. Lesson learned.
Love the color of the truck and the truck choose! I would go with t680 soon too :) I think you made a very smart move to get a semi 💯👏
Patient is a vertue. Amazing attitude.
i wish you the best, mate. Your attitude is your best asset.
Never go to dealer...you will lose more money by waiting on them to fix it...buy pump go to local mechanic
Where is he from? We could find him the best local mechanic shop.
I love your possitve attitude. You're going to do well as an owner operator.
That's not why they charge a markup on the parts from Cummins they will order a part for $500 and then charge full retail or even up change so that $500 part is now $800 or $1,000 for it so as far as the dealerships concerned they ain't losing any money if your truck's parked there for 3 weeks sometimes they will even charge you storage on your bill.
You are the coolest man handling this problem, water pump on a new vehicle is a bad omen what kind of service will you get in the future, what is the warranty on a new truck
I SEE WHAT YOURE DOING! This is how it works....
EXPEDITE VAN to
HOTSHOT TRUCK EXPEDITE to
SEMI TRUCK EXPEDITE to
TRAIN EXPEDITE to
PLANE EXPEDITE to
CARGO SHIP EXPEDITE......

I think 🤔, you see it all wrong.
Man, subscribe to you. I would of been pissed off and yelling.!!!😂
I live in Tulsa, ok.
hope you had a good time here outside of the truck issues!
not in the past nor now do I want to try truck driving but these videos are interesting!
good luck pal.
This just happened to me on January 30. Which was a Saturday, I bought truck from Arrow Truck sales of Houston. The DEF sensor fail on me 290 mls into a 320 ml trip. On 30 mls to go and I had to get a tow.
Unfortunately Yousiff, they don't care about the trucker/customer, they care about their bottom line, especially on warranty claims. They likely have fixed pricing with Cummins/Detroit/Paccar/Volvo/CAT and hated to order outside of them.
fixed pricing is the key word my friends....
Bought a freight liner at Houston freight liner with similar issues. You are not alone, my friend.
Well said, Just keep on going forward and learn each day as you go. Great positive outlook.
Bought 2 used trucks with problems first one $2000 repair dealer covered $500 Palmer Kentworth second time I made sure I had extended warranty before purchasing best thing I could’ve done
Lol get this, we bought a New 2020 KW T880, not even 3k miles in the EGR goes out. Good thing we had a 750k mile warranty. But seriously, these trucks need to be improved on. Same with the damn harnesses.
2019 KW T880 went through 4 ABS harnesses before 250k miles. Crazy lol
Just seems funny that the mechanic that change the water pump didn't hear that belt screaming like that after putting it all back together and that he didn't say anything to you. unless he was afraid you were going to try to make them pay for it. Hopefully the place that you bought it from takes care of paying for that belt to I'm sure we'll find out in your next video. Can't wait to see you put that big truck to work
well its just my opinion but I think the mechanic was just doing what the customer ordered.
Good luck Yousif the positive man
In 2016 I had purchased a use DD15 Freightliner cascadia 2011 with 4000 miles on it . ABS light on after like 70 miles away from the dealer. I called them to notify the problem the sent me to the nearest Freightliner dealer in Nebraska. Probl solved and I pent 1 day in Hotel . I drove that truck for 4 years and I paid it off early with my own saving so I ain't save a dime since I got the garbage. It took all the 💰the I work for . I used to spend 3 weeks out and 1 week off hey truck always had some repair like replacing some parts and money gone. I'll never again by a use truck in my life my experience with a use truck was terrible. I have a year with a brand new 2021 KW900 with Cummings on it 13 speeds and 550HP.
Like your honesty.Good luck down the road.
we trust people and we get ripping you off with licence this is very sad to see this video, hopping the best brother
Man I was planning on purchasing my next truck from a dealership, but issues like this scare me away
A big dealership like Rush should have parts like that in stock. Thanks for warning me not to buy from them.
You’ll learn from experience that fleet trucks from Dealerships are the worst to buy. It’s better to buy directly from an O/O or private seller looking to get out the business or upgrade or something.
Not to mention it looks like a former Swift flatbed truck.
@@RiZenAsH yeah it’s a pos coulda found something better at the auction.
From the beginning we could tell the engine didnt sound healthy. I know in the comments its been said it didnt sound healthy. Ive always learned if its got new tires check all the fluids
water pump must be part which is always on stock I am supersized that you have to wait so long. And please do not move so much when you are outside I got dizzy :-)
Cant believe they didn't have a water pump in stock. Guess their water pumps dont go out very often lol
I'm curious to see what kind of cost per mile the Tesla semi's come with, because ICE trucking is a total scam on the dealer/ repair side.
To much negative yall showing respect his journey and learned
Everybody life ain the same keep pushing bro you the one with a title 💯 🙏
So i work for a dealer that sells parts (not big rig stuff, but same concept). When we have a unit break down and need parts, we go to the manufacture because we get better prices and spending money with that company goes farther. When you buy parts from other companies/3rd you pay more, pay higher freight and some even charge you tax. So not surprising that did that.
that's surprising, most of the new trucks I've driven didn't have a water pump issue, instead it was the DPF system failing lol... and always about an hour into my drive...
squeaking from belts after water pump replacement. seems like they contaminated them with coolant.
How in the world do they not know or cant get an ETA on the pump. Anything is possible to get some answer.
what kind of dealership doesnt have a water pump for a Cummins motor on the shelf?
That's crazy it just happened to us yesterday we bought gave us Release and in the parking lot of the Dealer the EMISSIONS light went crazy so now they will empty DEF and maybe check sensors and DPF filter FULL I have to pay rental car and hotel it's been 3 days paying that
New sub MY Friend!!! By the way I LIKE your actitud YOU ARE ALWAYS POSITIVE 😊
It's not the belts if the noise is made when the engine is not running. Most likely an air compressor purge valve or some such.
So you got your truck back and you just start it without checking the coolant and oil levels.Dont ever trust anyones work.Should have had them fix your door since you were there so long.
Hey I got the same truck sane color 2014. Low coolant means your engine is burning it. I got same problem. Head gasket issues
10:50 looks like they fixed the door hinge
if its eating coolant, your head gasket will not last long, man if possible Return this thing ASAP , and either buy new semi or keep the hotshot, best advise, gonna be big issues down the rd.
That is a worthless shop, period. Were the belt squealing when it was leaking? If not its a install labor problem from the shop. Hope you're successful young man. Almost 25 years of trucking, most are out to take a buck from you.
Most of the time if your dealing with a reputable dealership they’ll give you a 30 day warranty and you should invest in a warranty for any used equipment.
No ... you shouldn’t buy a used truck until you have enough experience to fix shit like water pumps alternators brakes etc yourself ... learn the ropes on the fleet’s dime ... but nowadays every immigrant thinks they can come to this country, buy a clapped out old fleet truck and go get rich in the trucking business with little to no experience ...
@@derekchauvinisahero2010 like you can fix every thing by yourself. Your just another super trucker
KW service is why my company that was exclusively KW for 40+ years dropped them for peterbilt and freightliner.
