Hey man! I just wanna say thanks! I watched a lot of your vids and decided to dive head first into the mechanic world. I'd say I'm roughly 6 to 8 months into my diesel journey, and I've been able to do so much. I started off at pep boys a year ago. Four months later, I'm working at a school district and got my cdl. 6 months later, I got hired onto a city fleet service. I love what I do and it's because of youtubers like you who kept it real that I gave it a shot.

Im an aviation mechanic and your vids make me want to diesel/heavy equiptment. Good channel man

I've enjoyed watching you grow up. Very well done man!

Hello Nick, great seeing you sharing the knowledge! Have a great day/night. Take care and keep being awesome my friend.

Hey nick Im 35 and moved from small equipment rental to being a service tech for a municipal transit authority as of 8 months ago. I gotta say its been encouraging to see that someone with a lot more experience than myself has had some of the same questions and thoughts in particular when it comes to putting in the time before you get promoted or trained to do more. I currently do the fluid services change tires perform engine washes, however because there is the interior cosmetics of a transit bus i have to fiddle around with the drivers area and passengers area as well, in addition to our support fleet of 350s and 450s. Your videos on being fleet have been helpful for me and i just wanted to say thanks

Instead of a bigger box, I feel like you could probably organize a bit. You could get a lot more room up top if you used magnets for the wrenches

My snap on ratcheting wrenches slip once and a while. The first time it happened was the day after i bought them 8 years ago 😂😂

The Harbor Freight one is an awesome box I would just suggest upsizing the wheels

I am an aspiring mechanic and worked at the Chevy dealership as a lube tech. That flat rate kills your paycheck when you do not get enough customers. I ended up making $15 an hour because there were not enough customers every week. The diesel mechanic route is a lot more attractive. I am going to give that a try. I am an Otaku for life; i saw your sticker.

Honestly If you're noticing a lack of power in your m12 3/8's impact it's probably the battery. I use the 6.0amp batteries in all my m12 stuff and they run amazing.

I have my cart set up the same, all the go to stuff up top.

I love ur videos you should do a upgraded garage and home toolbox tour

it’s been a journey since the toyota dealership days! especially still seeing some of the same tools

Awesome video

Notification squad 🤝🏼 hell yeah man I been thinking about leaving the auto industry for diesel, haven’t watched the vid yet but excited to see what you have to say now with ur experience

you shouldn't use gear end of wrenches to brake anything free. that's why the open is there or why they make Dubble box.

Can you do a day in the life of a diesel fleet mechanic? It would super helpful

Where was the Yo Yo Yo ?!?

Ive been watching you since the toyota days, im currently a toyota tech and man you look like youve been putting up some hours. take care of yourself remember to drink alot of water and get some well needed sleep, those checks can be satisfying but its not worth it down the line

I upgraded to the US gen 34in 6 drawer has the flip top and is still easy to move around

Yo yo yoooo thanks nick!!

I need this keep doing. Vids bro

Thanks for the video

I had to upgrade to 34 bank from harbor freight. After going to transit bus fleet needed a lot more tools from sae to metric tools

I'm curious why you guys become mechanics. I went into HVAC, and it's basically the same thing as being a mechanic. You diagnose things, tear it apart, and then put it back together fixed. Except I get paid $60 an hour to my job. I'm curious why people want to do the job of a mechanic if it doesn't really pay that much and you guys are so underappreciated.

Question - where are you putting pipe dope on hydraulics? Most hydraulic fittings seal face to face (JIC etc) & teflon tape/pipe dope doesn't actually do anything to prevent leaks and can lead to contamination. No hate - just curious, totally keep doing what works for you & your customer! :)

Can you do a tips for working as a diesel fleet mechanic? Thank you 🙏

Hey man used to like the day in the life videos would you consider doing another one some time soon ?

Dude Whats up with the 240?

around how much money did you make as a entry level diesel mechanic compare to now ?

Very cool dude.

Yo Nic! I’ve been following you since your days at Toyota, and I honestly am kinda done with automotive at this point, I plan on going diesel like you, any advice and would you recommend the change? Thanks!!

Am-55 diagram on your tool cart?

Hopefully you see this comment but I got a 2011 toyata venza my car burning oil and causing misfires but it still runs what you think the probably it is ? I post to be taking it to the Toyata dealership for they can diagnose it.

Do you ever miss the Dealership life?

I cannot get any work in the auto repair field because of my driving record (collision in 2021, a speeding warning and two speeding tickets in 2023). I completed a one year, five module automotive technician coursefrom 2022-2023 and have been employed at O'Reilly for a little over two years now and desire to get work as a general maintenance technician to then work my way up to ASE Certification. Do you have any advice for me? Is there anything I can do about this driving record of mine, or should I just find another career choice?

What brand of metric racheting combination wrenches would you buy it price was no issue? I have access to matco and snap-on with student discount. Thank you

Hey just started viewing your channel a couple months ago. Just finished my A1-A8, and now getting interested to jump into your field of work. Did you work on your medium/heavy duty ASE certs before beginning to apply for those positions or did you just go for it ? I find there are a lot of places hiring for diesel techs or heavy duty techs but they have a lot of requirements. Any info is much appreciated. Thank you !

Hey bro. I have a question. I have a 2018 chevy silverado 5.3. I can't find a fuel pump for my truck to save my life. Part # ac delco. M100261 from the dealership Autozone. O'reilly . Napa. Car quest. All say the pump has been discontinued . Can't get it or anything similar. I was wondering if you could help in some way

@letsdriftmedia are you dot certified and if so where did u get you cert at??

What about the 34in full bank service cart instead of the 42?

👍👍

I wanna ask you, can we use scan tools the trucks or diesel engines

Have you hear cornwell tools

What brand 4 way wrenches do you have

Hey man what company you working for ?

I see you just casually glancing over that sticker and I am disappointed *_because I wanted to know more about the purple-haired ugu animu girl who watches over your stuff_* Also what kind of scanners do you typically use as a Diesel tech? Do they use regular OBD2 or do you have specialized systems for them? I've been compiling tools because I like having stuff to help people and it's fun, and while I have a fair idea of what kind of generalized diagnostics tablet I am going to eventually get, a lot of Diesels (apparently?) dont use the same system as standard passenger cars and require specialized tools? For instance, I know a growing number of people who have Skoolies and was wondering what you'd even use for one of those? Obviously depending on the make and model of the individual bus, but I am guessing they'd generally fall under commercial Diesel diagnostics (which are a bit expensive, obviously). There's so little info out there detailing any of this stuff, even less than regular diagnostic equipment; lots of people dont even like going into detail about the individual services each model of tablet can do, let alone anything past gas vehicles.
