And moste importandly never take DUI !

Life saver

this should be pinned

You the real MVP

Haha no it definitely isn’t

H.o.g

Exactly

100%

I know right wtf🤦‍♂️

Thanks buddy I love getting comments like this! It fires me up and motivates me to keep making videos! I wish I was at 994k subs haha, maybe one day 🤞🏻

Also excessive heat can bend shafts if part of has oil and part of it doesn't. A common problem with turbo prop aircraft engines.

Thank you!

Thanks! Can’t wait for stampede this year 🤞🏻

My fuel mileage drops as my fuel gets lower. I’m planning on installing a bottom feed for my airdog, but for now it’s sucking up to the top and back to the bottom. And I’m thinking if fuel mileage is affected, fuel pressure is lessened, working against the injection pump( 06, Cummins). The higher the pressure the quicker the burn (to a point anyways).

Thanks buddy!

Thanks buddy I appreciate it!!

Thanks! It’s always good for a reminder here and there!

Make sure you high idle warm up after about 15-30 seconds of idle when cold. Also these motors love good oil, they start and idle happier

Hey that’s a good idea I’ll write that down in my video idea notes! Thanks!

@@darkirondiesel Anytime buddy! Looking forward to more uploads

Thanks buddy!

Thanks buddy! I love the 6.7 powerstroke it’s a great engine!

im curious if it hangs in there. just got a Duramax 6.6 & wondering the same thing.

I have same engine, which Mobile one oil are you using?

Easy fix, just leave some of the "family" at home, leave all the liquid "beverages" at home. Of course, by this time, you've left everyone at home so you won't be driving anywhere.

Exercise more frequently perhaps, lol jkjk

Im one of those ungifted people. spent 4 years in the USMC trying to gain... trainers, special diets... got stronger but no bulk :D@@BrandonSalas-us8mm

Thanks brother

Haha you’re the first person to comment on that 😂

Thanks buddy!

Thanks bro, still like me if I told you I was a ski-doo guy?

@@darkirondiesel ahhhhh ya that's ok

You're right with one thing: brake maintenance. But your wrong on another thing: most people have diesel's because they think it's cool, not because they actually tow.

@@mikeofthemountain9865 Sad but true!

Thanks buddy!

Thanks buddy! I’ll be pumping more videos out shortly, just in my last year of school right now so busy studying for my journeyman’s test on Friday, then back to making content!

That’s good though, will save you money in the long run trust me! Most of the big repairs I do could have been prevented by better maintenance.

That’s an awesome idea!

Smart.

Thank you!

Thanks buddy I appreciate it 👊🏻

Thank you

I change my fuel filters every 30k miles on my 6.7 powerstroke

7.3 powerstroke, oil changed every 3k, fuel filter ever 3k. Flush the coolant every now and then. Pour some hot shots secret in the crankcase and fuel tank every so often. It'll run forever.

@@jamiepippin3892 on the 6.7s Ford recommends changing both fuel filters every 30k miles. But obviously it wouldn’t hurt to change them more often. And if I follow the intelligent oil life monitor, I change the oil every 8k miles. I use synthetic 5W-40 or synthetic 15W-40 depending on if it’s dead summer or colder

Like maybe if your doing some heavy work with it check the fluid wouldn't be a bad idea at 60,000km but I'd not expect to have to change it out till 90,000 even as a heavy work vehicle (welding rigs). Same with your diff fluid, things have come a long long way since the 90's.

I have an 08 Dodge 2500 with the Cummins 6.7; I service it myself and keep a maintenance record for everything done to the truck. One thing, besides the book, is to change all the fluids according to the manual (except the filter on top which is changed at 30,000 miles). I also change the brake and power steering fluids since they don't last as long as some people think. An easy way to keep on top is to make a checklist you keep handy so you can track what needs to be done and when. Good luck.

@@frogger2011ify I would say for your transfer case it depends on how often you run 4wd. If you're driving around in 4 wheel drive you're probably gonna put more stress on it but if you're not or if you're doing mostly highway driving it may not be a big deal. My thing is though, if you're spending 20-30k dollars on a decent used diesel and 50-100k dollars on a new one, are you really that concerned about a hundred bucks in fluid or whatever the cost is? Some of these guys are financing trucks at over a 1k dollars a month and they're like 'I can get another 30k miles out of this tranny fluid!' that cost them a couple hundred dollars lol. I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 HD CCLB SLE 4x4 6.0l gasser and at 32k miles I swapped very fluid from what it came with to Amsoil. So transmission, front and rear differential, transfer case and I have all Almosil engine coolant but I just need to stop being lazy and take it in to the dealer so they can drain it and put the Amsoil in. And I've been running Amsoil Engine oil since like 15k miles or so. It's not cheap to do but another 50k dollar truck isn't cheap either and with the regulations especially on the diesels these days, if you have an older truck with no emissions it's very advantageous to keep it running because eventually it'll be illegal for people to sell old parts to them and there's gonna be no option to just go buy a new truck without emissions, as far as the engine and components in it go anyway. Just like anything though, keep up on it and do it earlier than you have to and it'll run like new for basically ever.

Hey yup that’s part of the regular maintenance. You should get a code on your dash that says “perform service” every 100k ish. That’s when you know it’s time.

I have an 08 Dodge with the Cummins. I change the crankcase filter (the one on top) every 30,000 miles since it easily gets gunked by the oil. I also changed where the filter ends. I plugged the line going into the turbo and added a new throwaway filter to the hose coming out the back of the filter housing. Keeps the turbo much cleaner and the truck runs better. (The "book" says to change the filter every 60,000 miles (~100,000 km) but I found it's much better to change it at the 30,000 mile (50K km) interval.

Yup , the low idle isn't good for any engine but it's a death sentence for emissions

I like to run fuel additives in each tank. Usually you only need an ounce or two for a full tank of fuel.

Don’t buy power service it’s overpriced junk run hot shots secret edt

Wouldn’t running it hard clog the dpf faster since there’s more soot going to the particulate filter?

@@adenseay7406 it does, I have a 2012 f450 6.7L PowerStroke cab and chassis when I run it hard like at dead stops I put the pedal to the floor and let off once I get to the speed I need to get to, and when I do get regenerations while I’m driving I run it harder so it cleans it better diesels aren’t meant to be babied there meant for towing and meant to be run hard. But since it’s a cab and chassis it’s gearing is low and is detuned that’s why I have a sct flash tow tune on mine without the tune it’s stupid slow and can’t go over 80mph and sometimes on the highway I need to go 90mph with a 25 foot gooseneck trailer

I have a 3.2 diesel in my transit with a 10 foot contractor box on the chassis. With that 5 cylinder engine I am able to work it hard enough with highway driving that my regens are maybe 10 seconds and probably mandatory from the factory tunes due to milage. If you have a dpf diesel it has to be worked to keep the egt high enough to clean the dpf.

@@isaacwais9810 I’m about to delete my 16 lml duramax

@@adenseay7406 just get a minimax tuner for the delete and egr delete it too it’s worth it in the long run I can’t legally delete my truck because of the dot numbers and the truck can’t be rolling coal in a fleet of trucks it’s a company vehicle and the fines for that are very high if you get caught for having a deleted truck in a fleet and for having dot numbers that’s why the 7.3 powerstrokes are really reliable they have no restrictions what so ever on that engine

No problem buddy

@@darkirondiesel just got my order in of Amsoil for my oil change, did the rear diff and replaced the the diff cover with a Banks and replaced the fluid with Amsoil diff fluid, so needless to say I’ll be running Amsoil throughout the truck, still need to do the front diff

Ya usually when a guy goes to rock auto he’s buying the cheapest brands they sell haha

True

Never buy oil pans from rock auto! Last i checked the paint on the inside of the oil pan comes off and plugs the oil pick up, then the engine is shot!

I concur.

You’re right it can be stored for much longer but who has the proper storage to hold fuel and at what point is it going to be beneficial to store BBL’S of diesel it’s not worth storing that much fuel

Since 2005 ethanol use was mandated by Congress which made diesel and gasoline less stable.Use fuel additive to keep injectors lubricated and control fuel degradation over time.

@@dextermay4007 I’m pretty sure they don’t put ethanol in diesel.

The agricultural guys have the diesel delivered in bulk to their farm

@@Fishinguy962 Some do but not all. I buy my diesel for my tractor in 5 gallon container loads. Much easier to store. Many of my neighbors have small operations, so not worth having a "home" large storage container. Much easier to use a couple of container's to store the diesel and we can get it fresh from a truck stop or a station which has high usage. Price is an issue but freshness is more important. Stale/old diesel is a real pain; I had algae build up and plug everything once and that was enough.

Thanks buddy

Another item to change periodically is the power steering fluid. I believe it absorbs water so it should be replaced every five years or so. The same with brake fluid. I try to change out my brake fluid every 50,000 miles (~ 83,334 Km). It gets a lot of use and I think it also absorbs water.

That’s awesome if you can get your guys to do that daily!

@@darkirondiesel Easy! Required maintenance, they sign a log book; failure means loss of two weeks pay and they must pay for any damage or other issue which comes up.

Harry that’s a little rough. Who’s to say the guys before them didn’t truly check it out. Or maybe the truck just happened to go out at that moment just because. A lose of 2 weeks pay hurts.

@@justinjustin337 I know it hurts but sometimes you need to have something which really gets their attention. If the damage is done "just because a gremlin got it" okay, I could understand it so no penalty. If the maintenance is not done correctly, the punishment comes into play. Just document everything.
