We made a big mistake and found an even bigger nasty problem on a M1070 Oshkosh HET 8x8 💩 

Mason comes across as a great youngster with the right attitude, temperament and keen to learn. IMO these qualities are rare in young people. I was going to say you're lucky to have him but maybe you should take the credit for his development. Anyway well done.

What people don't realize about "American" made products is that most of them have a lot of foreign parts on them. Even American made trucks/cars have TONS of Chinese components. I think it's good to invest small when starting and move up from there. Thanks for showing folks how to do that.

I've actually really enjoyed you guys testing out all the Harbor Freight tools. Makes the whole job feel more down to earth rather than some tool fashion show

Clint has to be the best one handed mechanic in Indiana 😆 I hope Mason appreciates how lucky he is to be learning from a true master. I think the most important thing he’s learning, is to think 😊

I think it's very nice of you to give those tools away. Some people just have to make an ass out of themselves. No matter what you do. Keep up the good work.

I love that you show the entire troubleshooting process: rabbit holes, dead ends…there’s something to learn in every false lead. Videos like this help give me the patience to run down mystery problems on my own equipment, and to take the time to do it correctly. Thank you.

Its only been 6 minutes and ive watched this video 4 times. Certified C&C equipment classic

It amazing how you know so much about so many different rigs and putting your guys in the rite direction

Hey Clint, Someone said this about a critic…”any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do”!! - Ben Franklin! I think it’s a hell of a giveaway, the real mechanic receiving them will be tickled to death!! Thanks for the video!

Wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your thoughtful response and demeanor… the Competitive Advantage of the USA … is design engineering and innovation… the sooner we support and develop that advantage the more productive our value added industries will become… such as tooling and production… it’s a global economy… we need to adapt and overcome this homer mentality and actually be global leaders … Keep up the good work C&C … well done

Good explanation on the value of the tools to a young mechanic! I really don’t think about the cost for a young newbie mechanic.

Excellent content, Clint! Sometimes those head-scratching, butt-kicking, goofy one off glitches are the best for content. It is good to see Mason spreading his wings a bit; even with a fairly approachable boss like you, between the Dreaded Camera and voicing opinions to the boss can give Newbies fits. It appears that Mason is coming along into his own. Now if he only had some sausage fingers or a hyper festive fetish for, say, 4th of July or Thanksgiving... .😊

Keep the big trucks coming

What does it matter if some or all of the tools have some wear on them there FREE to who ever wins them! Great job Clint, Mason’s going to make a good mechanic my hats off to you for teaching the younger generation your skills I’ve know some people who won’t teach because they think only themselves should know things and everyone should beg them for information. I’ve always thought those were some lousy individuals.

Clint…you’re spot on about the haters. Once they flame up & unsub… You hardly even notice them anymore.👍😎

It absolutely amazes me how much damage mice (rodents) can cause in this equipment sitting around for years. Watching your videos and Matt from Diesel Creek, he deals with much older equipment at times and he calls them mousedominiums. Proud of Mason for the great young man he is but he has a wonderful teacher. Clint you are spot on with the tool give-a-way and glad the haters have thousands of dollars to spend on tools while us common folk just fix things. Love this channel and all the great work you do and the whole crew. Absolute joy to watch.

Well done guys tenacity pays off

Don't listen to the 'haters' Clint, we think the world of you, your operation...and your always interesting videos! We appreciate your taking us along.

Clint, when my grandson got out of the Marine Corps he needed some tools to get started in his new job. So, his Dad and Grandpa went Harbor Freight and brought him abot $400 worth of tools. Now 4 years later he has replaced most of them and sold his starer set to a new mechanic in the shop.

Hey from Norristown PA 19401 love ❤ your channel & all all the heavy equipment you work on I'll leave you are so funny But most important the way you your Father your son's in the shop So amazing to see a father that pushes their kids to do things You push them in a most positive way always letting them do things around the shop encouraging them to try it and do it It's amazing and so beautiful to see how Maybach and come you are when telling your boys they can do something ❤👍🏾👏🏾👌🏾🙏🏾

More HET videos please! Good detective work and ride along.

Must admit those Osh Kosh trucks are awesome !!! The tools appear to be standing up to your usage so far ... time will tell but somebody will be pleased to get it.

Another great job finding & fixing the problem. You did a great job ! That tool box is more trouble than its worth.

I'm glad to see young Man like Mason working and learning. I think he found a good place to work.

Good job , thank you all

Clint, for me, your videos are never boring, so just keep on truckin...You've got a great crew as well, and having your sons working by your side is something special. You mentoring them is huge benefit and will think of the times spent together their entire life as they turn those wrenches. With the haters, no one can please everyone. Keep up with the great work!

Although I'm a trained Petrol & Diesel Engine Fitter and Plant Operator Mechanic, I have spent most of my working life as a Cabinet Maker. When I started that journey, I bought cheap tools in the UK from ScrewFix and B&Q (our version of Harbor Freight). As busness came in, I re-invested and slowly replaced all the cheap tools with better quality - but it was with those cheap tools that I learnt my trade!

Good job Clint. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed Day.

on the tools... don't sweat the haters, you are trying to do something good for someone. as well as a tool review, thanks for the video

Hey There C&C Guys, I Hope This Finds You All Well? 🙏 I'm fascinated with those Oshkosh By Gosh Trucks, and I enjoyed the one you turned into a BIG off-road Wrecker! I commented about it recently on another channel. One really should wear a dust mask when ones dealing with vermin 🐀 feces, plus they typically have lots of flea's! 😮 I hope y'all have a good one! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲

Great video again ! Love watching the detective work trying to solve these problems you come across. Mason is one lucky young man having good teachers to learn him his trade and he certainly seems like a good hard worker. Thanks for taking the time to film it all for us.

Mason seems like he never backs off he just keeps pushing on, The old Oshkosh taught us all on this one. Thank you for another fantastic video ,Clint.

Had a similar issue with a New Holland backhoe I rebuilt for a customer, had some cracks in fuel from it sitting ,, was sucking air and not meeting the flow the pump required,, new line and some priming,, ran like a champ👍

Way to go! Clint! Y’all guys! Don’t stop until the problem is solved! Another great video! 👌👍

Not gonna miss a single hater I think what you are doing with the tools is awesome thank you

I noticed at the end of the video that the flapper on top of the exhaust was not closing. Do know if a little rain would hurt but too much rain might cause some problems.

Great video as always the variety of work is what keeps it interesting the range of skills you have is awesome,great to see you passing on skills to the next generation.👍

Love seeing this oldish American Military hardware. Great learning material for Mason. Fun seeing you two working together. He seems to be soaking up your knowledge. Good to see young people working with their hands AND their minds.

Hope the tools hold up. 70 years ago my Dad’s advice was, by quality tools, they will last a life time. He was right, hope Harbor Freight tools last.

Also I believe the harbor freight tools have a lifetime warranty that all you have to do is take it back to the store and they'll replace it no questions asked. I tried to buy american made as much as possible but as an electrician klein tools don't even much of warranty today. That truck is so cool!

The thing about haters is they're gonna hate. Once we realize that and distance ourselves from them, life is better.

I appreciate the fact that you show these video's where you are having problems solving the issue. A lot of people wouldn't! Question for you Clint, what do people that buy these use them for? As always thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!

Liked video. Fuel system fixed and truck runs great.

Nice your taken in a young guy and teaching him your ways.

WOW!! It's been a few decades since I saw a mount like that!! I repaired radios for the ARMY. That is a VRC-12 series radio mount. Most likely for the RT-524 Radio. WOW! such a deep dive.

I've has fuel lines and brake hoses cavitate. Has a friend who a renowned Chevy mech his own truck pulled hard right when braking. Told him he had a cavitated line and after new caliper, rotor a couple different types of pads he finally checked the line and that was the problem

Good job Mason I'm glad you figured it out! Man that truck gets up and goes👍🎥👈👌🙄✌😁

Good job guys, my husband is a retired automotive engineer and he admires that you work with your son and are very patient with him, May you all be blessed!!!!❤❤❤❤

MAN that engine sounds SWEET!!!

Nothing sounds as good as a 2 stroke diesel singing!

It is great to use vacuum and pressure gauges when testing the fuel system. They take he guesswork out make so T Pieces and bolt them in then you can see results and chase it down the line.

Its great to see your son working with you. Great that he shares his thoughts on the problems with you. Most kid either have no thought or are afraid to share them because dad will make fun of them or worse get mad. I enjoy watching the start ups and the repair videos. Thanks for your time.

Still need the trailer and the TANK to haul around!

Clinton and Mason great video,awesome trouble shooting! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

With my family being off grid, it gives us insight on these vehicles and what to look out for. Love the content and look forward to seeing the next one .

Nice work and yes some times it is the little things that bite us in the butt. But you got it and those are the ones that you will remember. I think a wrecker body would look good on one Thanks for the videos!!!!!

Simple fix when you found the problem - what a great opportunity it was to learn to look at this area first - Mason will never forget it (nor will you probably). Impressed by Mason's attitude - good to see so many young people coming through the ranks of trade professions.

Well, there's always someone who'd complain about a free BBQ.

That bracket on the door is to lock the door when they are being shipped to keep people out of them

Mason is a very intelligent young man.

It seems Mason is very smart. A good troubleshooter. And coming along with learning the new to him things very well. Thumbs up Mason

Kevin’s absence was definitely noted! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WON'T get bored with GREAT videos like this !!.....You guys are GREAT Mechanics !!....Thanks fer sharing

He is a good driver

Hey C$C…. Love seeing the military equipment AND the discussions about the commercial possability for them. Thanks for the vicarious education.

The harbor freight tool thing is interesting. I wish you would talk more about the pros and cons of them in daily use in your shop.

pro tip if you need to reseal the oil pan which is common on these trucks lift the front bumper the pan will slide by the front axle. also if you need to do engine work the cab comes off pretty easy thats how we did them.

We use electronic cleaner for all that electrical stuff won’t attack plastic

A young man with a little drive and a great mentor like Clint to guide him. Id say he’ll make one hell of a mechanic.

Williams tools are very expensive and pretty close to the steel that Snap On uses. Just for info Snap On Tool Co uses only virgin high carbon steel which I thought steel was steel but the steel used on Snap On tools is not recycled steel and when a dealer turns in his broken warranty tools they go back to the factory and are buried in a big trench. As a dealer back in the 80’s I had to go out to the Snap On grave yard to see it happening with my own eyes and sure enough there was a big backhoe digging a new trench and they were dumping some broken tools. I couldn’t see why they didn’t scrap the steel but they said it was because of liability. I didn’t really buy that but they stuck to the story.

Clinton glad you found the problem and it was relatively easy at once you found it. Love watching this about the large big vehicles😊

I've seen the California Stop many times, but this is the first time I've seen the Indiana Stop! I'm glad it was something simple, and now you know to look for that in the future.

Thx for taking us along!

Thanks for another great video. Just a tip from the Old VT Logger, my dad thought me year's ago, when someone is riding with you, and you get to a stop sign, or crossing, and they are checking for Traffic. They are to say , clear, if it's ok, or wait, if not. Go, no, and woha, sound to much alike in a load truck. It's worked for me for over 60 years!!! Just a thought guys!!

1) Anyone who hates on you for the whole HF long term test/giveaway probably needs to address the things in their lives actually worth getting mad about. I'm no fan of the chicoms either but lots of those tools are made in Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, etc. The service you're providing by giving an honest review is a gift. As you mentioned HF stuff is a good option for something just starting out who might not have $5k to spend on a Snap-On tool cabinet (with no tools in it). 2) Do you all use the dash 20 manuals for these vics when you troubleshoot? You guys are ninjas but they do come in handy sometimes.

If it matters, the flapper on the stack is stuck open at the end of the video. You might get rain water down into the manifold. I noticed that the alarm wasn't beeping when Mason was trying to start it, but I didn't have to comment on it!

Seen a house mover using one of these trucks in Tennessee today! Perfect use of the truck!!

all ways watch with interest what ever your all working on and cant believe some people are getting on at you over the tools give away dont they realise you are doing something to help some one else makes me wonder the mentality or some people good on you keep up the good work i truly think the staff you have working for you are dam lucky wish all employers were as good as you seem to be thanks for sharing 👍👍

I started turning wrenches with a hand me down set of Craftsman, until I found out can replace for free. Then I had a shiny set of Craftsman tools, went to garage sales and bought everything craftsman. I would only buy 1 wrench from snap on, the most commonly used, when I was earning more I bought a set of snap on. When I was rolling in cash, I bought the big box, took 3 years but it takes time to build quality. When someone ask me to borrow a 9/16 wrench, they are surprised that I have 15 different styles of 9/16 wrench, every tool has a purpose. "Run what ya brung, ifin you don't win, figure out how tah win next time "

Quite the truck. And yeah your little four-legged friends. So get in there and do whatever interesting. Good video. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

I know some big name dealer mechanics that’s run a lot of harbor freight tools. Just return them to the store. Bigger names pay 3 times as much and takes weeks or months to get tool back after repair.

Great job and resuscitation! Another M1070 lives to see another day! Just gotta love that screaming Detroit!

This is another one that’s been setting in the motor pool for a minute.

Great video Clinton just shows a guy to check to all out…dam rats thank god they weren’t still in there I would be gone can’t stand them little buggers…I believe Mason was correct that Jimmy sounded the best so far!

Fun times with finding source of problems. You have a good little helper. Thanks sharing 😊.

Clinton, you are an excellent mentor and teacher! People that are hating your “harbor freight” deal really don’t get the idea! I personally believe it’s a great idea especially knowing that it may help a young mechanic on their way.

Great video Clint. I have rats and field mice do damage to electrical wiring in trucks and heavy equipment. Thank you and Mason for sharing.

Good video and good job tracking down the problem

I have watched all your shows and I love everyone of them I love working on machines and cars I have a sitter tools it cost me 20 bucks and that’s it and I found the toolbox at the local rubbish tip that’s all I’ve got to keep up the good work guys and God bless

This was a good one boys!

Miserable little buggers. Mice have caused me more than a few wiring problems in my vintage cars. Glad the problem wasn't too serious. Good job Clint & Mason.

My hats off to you Clinton….you always get it figured out! I love your videos and can’t wait for the next one. Looking forward to seeing the shop expansion! Thanks!

as far as the HF tool chest itself, Abom79 bought a couple and loves ‘em. I checked them out and was VERY impressed with their construction…every bit as good as Husky or Kobalt brands… I bought two and am gonna buy two more.

I’ve always wanted to know more about the oshkosh trucks. Mostly after I was dwarfed by one by a barracks in the south of the UK. Gotta love those 8V Detroits!

Great job you two. You're a lucky man Mason, to learn from Clint. You have some serious sleuthing skills Clint. Great video. For suck a big machine, it seems to have good road manners. That air throttle would drive me nuts though.

Clinton, it’s good to know you have a Det. Mason in the house. I was never worried about you two not getting it run. Great video. Thanks for sharing!! Edit: Bring on the videos, Clinton lol.

It's really great that you are not afraid of doing a on showing people how things really work. Very enjoyable to follow along with the steps you took to solve the problem

Small point, I’m sure you just miss spoke (i do all the time😅) but you said the hose size was #10 then you said it was half inch. Actually 10 is 5/8. #8 is 1/2”. Nit picking I know.Don’t hate on me! 😂 I like weather head. I used to have a hose set up in my van when i was working on forklifts. Thanks for the great content.

You guy's have an amazing shop! When I was there servicing the Taylor Forklift,, can't lie,, I was flat out mega interested in all the great machines you had there! Love this kind of work and will keep following! And yep,, had same issue as well with relay panel,, he had it sitting in a field in Edinburgh for 7 years,, mice made a nest, ate the wiring, had to fix all of that and it was great.

6:03 if i were to use this particular truck model, i would defo put a tool tray on rails. You'd loose a little bit of height, but the convenience of being able to pull all your tools out would rock the world. Probably something using the slides used for kitchen cabinets (the ones for narrow spice racks) with a knee joint that would allow you angle the tool tray down at an angle when it's at max extension (basically four pieces of square section with a bolt through. In two pairs, two of the four pipes are attached to the slider, two attached to the tray). Back in the mid 90's i was stateside to visit family and one of the things i saw then was something very similar to this, but for a f250 truck bed. The whole thing would come out, bend down with a knee joint and you could load stuff on board. IMO, this kind of truck needs a tool tray on it. Nobody buys something like this to buy groceries.
