Spent 20 years as diesel mechanic, decided to watch you instead ! Still miss wrenching but not the BS that went along with it. Great video…keep them coming.
A great tow truck driver once told me to install a 1/4" air fitting with ball valve and male quick connect on the tank under the drivers seat. That way you can purge the moisture easily and also air up the system using outside air if you need to as well...
Warren you and Eric O are my favorite RU-vidrs. His brother works in another shop working on the big rigs. Eric used to work on the big rigs but decided to start his own shop and has become very popular like you. I look forward to seeing yours and his videos when they come out. You both are very knowledgeable mechanics. I hope someday ya both get a chance to meet.
I remember when I was working on my pick-up. Our dog would crawl under the truck with me. One of my fondest memories. It gave me a feeling that I did something right with her. I could watch you play with Josie all day.
Anyone that’s done this type of work can appreciate how hard warren works. I don’t miss it one bit. I wish I knew that clutch trick when I worked in the shop. Probably would have saved me some time, swearing and made me more money.
I see what you're saying lol I didn't make it that far in the video when I said that. I don't mess with pacarr I don't like em. All are truck are 3406e and 3406b 379s
@@RenewTheRWandBlue no doubt about it. I loved what I was doing in the shop, but my hands, knees and back didn’t. I got tired of know it all, ignorant people who just don’t know what they don’t see on RU-vid, if you catch my drift. Throw the pandemic parts madness on top of it, and I had enough. Now I’m an overpaid union maintenance mechanic.👍
The amount of knowledge I have gained from Warren and Eric O at SMA, is just amazing. I am grateful for your commitment to sharing what you know. Thank you. It’s not much, but I bought a hat and coffee mug.
Warren, I always did the clutch the old fashioned way too, with guide bolts; I never had a clutch jack either, I had to manhandle the clutch. Now you tell me, after I'm already retired!
Great video Warren really enjoy your commentary and watching you disassemble project when they don't last. Josey is a cutie good to have a helper running around and be there with you stay safe Warren.
Morning Warren. l used to air them trucks up from that #4 line at the air govenor. l used to leave the clutch in the transmission to. Worked good for me. 👍
You hit the nail on the head Warren, they’ve totally f&$ked it up. What was wrong with the old Bendix AD-9 it was simple and effective. All theses stupid dryers now are so complex but you can just spin the dryer part off, but you still have to take it apart to clean it all out. Something you do annually,( or should do annually) . I thought all these terrible Navistar engines were bad, but it looks like Paccar said “ hold my beer watch this” what a bunch of crap
Sometimes an opinion can be justified. Other times its a crock of shit. Paccar are the second biggest heavy Truck Manufacturer in the States. And the third Largest Globally not bad for a bunch of crap wouldn't you say.
@@anthony1636 I have no issue with Paccar the truck, it’s when they decided to build engines that I have a problem. They are way over engineered, IMO. Then add in the government emissions mandate and you have recipe for disaster. Even the companies that their bread and butter is engines, I.e. Detroit diesel, and Cummins have problems. There’s a reason Caterpillar got out of the truck engine market, and international AKA navistar started offering Cummins engines in there buses and medium duty trucks. Their engines were a disaster. The company I worked as a technician for 40+ years quit buying international buses in 2010 because we were having so many issues with the navistar engine. We only started buying them again when they offered the ISB Cummins engines in their buses. ( 2015 I believe) we had no problem with international the truck. And when you sell your own engine you can offer it cheaper and that’s what a lot of bean counters buying buses and trucks look at unfortunately, because they usually only keep there stuff till the warranty runs out, it’s when the next guy buys it and it falls apart and ends up being a nightmare.
@@anthony1636 Nope not bad as a chassis builder. However, a lot can be said about their engine building technology. You must be very young. On the other hand myself being an old retired tech, PAC-CAR still needs to learn how to build a reliable engine and Tranny
Think the problem with engineers is that the old engineers used to mentor the young engineers and this does not happen any more. Also the lead engineer used to be someone with 20+ years of experience and this does not happen anymore. Then most things are not engineered to last and be rebuilt. Also designing stuff the designer would go outside and see and talk to the person building it and designing was all manual and the designer really had to thing. With computer aided design most of the thinking is not done and the internet is a big distraction.
My auto mechanic friend, he’s shop owner, he’s the best mechanic in town, ton of customer wait in line, but he worked alone, no mechanics can work with him more than month because he wants the job done perfect.
Man I burn so many hours watching you work when I’ve got an IH4600 sitting right outside needing a clutch, carrier bearing and rear rotors but nooooo: I’m watchin’ you 😂
Hi Warren, looks like there might be a full Paccar engine coming,? If so, let's hope it's a good one, for you and the customer, when Josie came under the truck,and lay on ya, that was a great moment for me, she sure is cute. Thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Another interesting and educational video. As for Eric over at SMA, considering his wife works in the office and his kids spend a lot of time there I can understand him watching his language, little ears hear everything.
Most peterbilts have a remote line/ fitting a front if truck to air up. Those new bendix air driers have the check valves built into drier manifold and are pressure regulated so you may have to try and slowly induce air into the system. You notice in a regular situation with truck running it will air up one air tank and not start to air the other unit tank taking air goes over 100 psi then it will start to fill other tanks. It all draws back to those new type air driers and how the tanks are plumbed to that check valve manifold on drier.
It is so sad and disappointing to see you pulling this POS back apart after putting so much time into it the last time. Bad enough the old engine failed with a broken crankshaft way before its time but the remaned engine failed because either they did not use assembly lube on the wrist pin bushings or the installed the bushings wrong. When I did rod bushings I used to make sure the oil galleries would blow air through them and if you could see the oil hole lined up. I was burned once on a new connecting rod that had a blockage in the internal oil gallery from the factory casting. The oil gallery was not all the way through to the wrist pin bushing and the engine lasted about 15 minutes before that piston and cylinder grenaded on the test run. Good thing I was working in a factory shop because after the cause of the failure was found on the tear down I was no longer the goat. After that I always blew through the oil galleries before putting them together.
@@PoliticalGangster Well the foreman was on me for screwing up this overhaul and we were on the hook for the damage. So it was going to be a free one for the customer. Head office did not cover their screw up our shop had to eat the bill for the second overhaul. When we found the defective part on the tear down there was not much the foreman could do about it because we did about 50 to 60 in frames a year and that was the first time we had seen something like that.
Warren been a diesel and ag engineer for 42 years now and still working but don’t dis the Scania v8 engine best v8 truck engine ever manufactured it’s a legend. Love what you do man but there is life outside the good ole USA.
The close contact you have with your puppy dog right there under the vehicle is the reason why I named my puppy dog grease rag every time I needed to wipe my hands on something I just knew she'd love affection and we both got what we wanted I love it keep up the good work and give that puppy dog a bonus
I don't pull off the pto because I made the shanny jack plate to go around the pto...Saves a LOT of time...I agree with unbolting the pressure plate from the flywheel....love your videos
You can tap into the port on the dryer that the safety blow off valve is in , that should air both sides up and will hold air when you remove your fittings , at least that’s what we do sometimes when prepping to be towed
*23:27* The word *shit* was actually an Acronym from Old Colonial Settlements. It was stamped in bright yellowish red capital letters, on the Hold doors on Merchant ships, ferrying goods & people up & down the East coast, that carried substantial amounts of cow, pig, chicken & horse manures for Farmer's various crops. They discovered the hard lessons of deadly spontaneous combustion, when cargo like this would suddenly explode with great force. The *_Acronym_* SHIT stood for Stow High In Top (of cargo load) so methane wouldn't collect inside the Hold.
@@dh-_1011 Nope. Ever see a pile of oily rags self combust before? Same concept. Ever see an OSHA approved "Oily rag bin"? It's yellow, red letters, metal, insulated, automatic closing lid, foot operated. Manures are the same way. Never store or stowe down in a hold (confined area).
We had to haul a lot of Pete's to auction and we found that newer petes have a safety valve that won't let the air flow through the dryer.you can hook to the rear tank and it would usually back feed to the rest once it got over 110psi.
Those paccar engines are quite the mess. Those coolant lines behind the head on the back of the block constantly leaking. The water manifolds on the right side of the trucks constantly rotted out. The constant leaks. The water pumps failing all the time. They are terrible
i have found that by taken the safety valve out and supplying shop air it will charge both tanks and it is also how to bypass the dryer when it is frozen
First job i had as a HD mechanic was a clutch job on a western star back in 1998. Glad I learned back then to leave the clutch on the input shaft. Trans was a bear becuase the rear mounts were on tranny case so the engine needed to be supported.
Really appreciate your videos, especially anything on an ISX, I just started a new job taking care of a fleet of T680s and a few videos have came in handy.
That is a wonderful trick for putting the engine clutch together wow I helped change a engine once and we fought that thing for way too long lol thanks for sharing buddy
When you started raising the truck using compressor air to the suspension bags a bit of your US Navy life came through Warren - "Give 'er some air and up she rises" was the shanty ringing in my head!!
Next time get you a extra glad hand and hook it up to the trailer supply glad hand on the back of the truck and put your valve on that extra glad hand and air the truck up that way you will have to push the trailer park brake in to work
That’s the same way I pull the engine away from the trans, put the caging bolts back in and leave the clutch in place . Pulled those paccars a lot of times at the dealer to replace failed camshafts
just FYI there's a fitting that goes through the frame on the drivers side about inline where the oil neck is on the mx engine on almost all Pete's and kws made in the last like 7 years or so that you can use to air the truck up manually
Love your videos Warren!! The people that nag about your work are the people nobody wants to work with because they can't "stfu" and do "there job" I've worked with people like that and hated that just because I do something different doesn't mean it's wrong. I do good work when I work by myself because I love the job!
I work at a kw dealership,one way to get the truck to air up is grab the red glad hand and connect another one either coming from another truck or just one connected to and air hose and press the red valve on the dash and itll air up the brakes,works on petes and kw trucks
I have had luck back filling through the red glad hand. just hook up shop air to your red glad hand and release the trailer brakes. It will fill your main tank. not your 2nd tank tho. but you can still get it in the shop.
I was watching a video on Paccar engines and they said they are designed to last 1 million miles. I don't think I have ever seen one last anywhere near that long.
@21:35 Warren! You almost forgot the windshield washer fluid pressure/temperature/position sensor! You know that there ECM needs that reading in order to start the engine! I’m glad you caught it! Lol
This may be a dumb question. Why did you pull the pto pump an drain the trans fluid? Your just pulling the engine out an not the trans. Maybe I missed something. I like your way of leaving the clutch in that seems a lot easier then lining all that back up.
Any driver worth his salt has already put a female coupler on one of the tanks. PDI has a 50 state compliant tuner for emission trucks. I've used it Very simple Even with QSX coding it makes massive differences. I get crazy mileage man, you wouldn't believe it. Like double digit And I'm up here going across 90 gettin 13mpg
@@lilo2469 I can understand the reasoning though. ....covered in ice , it fails causing a lockup at precisely the wrong moment. It's why I only use them in a pinch
Not a Guaranteed fix but worth a try. It helped with some of my cordless stuff. Deoxit the connections on the tool and batteries. I've also sanded or filed the connections when they get fried.
The Scania 770 v8 is one mean engine and stock for stock I would find it hard to believe any stock American truck engine can keep up let alone a tuned one. The 770 v8 makes 770hp and 2728 ft lbs of torque and road train truckers in the Australian outback run them ridiculously hard and many of them are built to well over 1200hp and 4000 ft lbs of torque.
Cats are amazing engines and respond well to upgrades, they dominate those canadian truck drags and truck pulling competition. There's a gentlemen cranking out 4000 hp out of a C- 16.
@@JCA-Z The c18 engines have been plagued with cracked liners due to the much thinner cylinder walls and when they extended the stroke on the 15.8 they created issues with cylinder wall side loading. In Australia you will see more mack mp-10 and cummins qsk-19 engines then cat engines. The Australian truckers for some reason really like v8 engines and the mack e9 and cat 3408 were very popular.
What I usually do if I can't take the discharge line off is I put a 1/8 pipe thread schrader valve I get from the auto parts store in the extra res port of the governor. Bendix should almost just start including one when you get a new governor.
I have a fitting made that connects to line coming off the head of compressor(at compressor)and connect shop air to it. Wheaties needs to put a paccar engine on their box and print breakfast of champions. I would be looking for a good ix core for you to build for him if the poor guy has any money left.
I could watch what you do for many years and still be lost ...as you are a fkn pro at what you do as ur brain works like a Battle ship captain as always a step ahead of the game FK yea...and that is one cool gray pup ya have there and wish ya best of luck with that baby Pit as they are the best with the right owners and im sure ur are that owner as i have a big baby Rot
As always, thanks for sharing such great information and for patiently training your dog to be a good helper! Would that trick with keeping the clutch assembly on the pilot shaft work with something a bit smaller like an NV4500 install on a Dodge Ram Cummins?
What a lovely moment when the crew turned up to help with the transmission, very funny. Good luck Warren. I still can't believe how major corporations churn out bodged remanufactured parts. Surely the cost of this debacle is born by the joke of the machine shop idiot who screwed up the rod bushings. Paccar chose to use this company. no wonder their reputation is toast.
Watching you. I Know why I gave working as a technician. Everyday is a bunch of stress, putting right what others had not done correctly. Laying on the deck under a semi is a bunch of S**t with oil and crap dropping on you at every opportunity. Soooooo much easier just being a wheel jockey.
When you took the hood off you should have rolled a dumpster back in front, craned er out of the truck and right in the appropriate location that paccar goes!
Somebody has it ass backwards, if a pipe breaks in your house, your insurance will cover the damage the broken pipe causes, but not the broken pipe. By the time the house is repaired the cost of the pipe could be in the estimate the insurance would never know. The broken pipe, $100, the cost to repair damage for pipe broken on 2nd floor, $75,000.
In my situation, they didn't even repair the "damage"! They claimed it was "old" damage, and rejected my claim!!! Got to hate those insurance companies..... read the fine print!!!
Warren do you ever watch diesel creek or scrappy industries your channel and them are my favorite love watching your videos i find them all very interesting thanks for all the hard work you do taking care of your costumers and all the work you do by editing your videos THANK YOU MUCH KEEP ON KEEPING ON WARREN!!!
I saw that episode of South Main Auto, which was real. Lots of cow residue. The good part is the residue won't eat everything up like the road salt in the Northeast. I lived in western NY for 12 and grew to really dislike what it would do to your car.
