I currently own a 2007 pete with 1.4 million miles...I'm just amazed by the problems of these newer model trucks

I’m glad you got this behind you. Sounds like your good to go for at least a year b4 another break down. 🤞Happy and safe travels 🤘

I'M GLAD THAT YOU WAS ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE BREAK DOWN WITHOUT HEADACHE. YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED YOUNG MAN. S☀N OUT G💪NS OUT.

Damn that sucks Thank God you have insurance to cover that! Stay safe out there wild beard and pup!

A bad day for sure but you got through that week with positivity and a good vibe!!! No one likes breaking down but as you said you were blessed to have the finances to cover everything!!! I too have aspirations of becoming an owner operator and I truly appreciate you showing the good and bad!!!! Stay blessed brother and we will see you on the next one 😎✌️

Man I am impressed that you gave God the thanks because you know and I know without him we would be nothing. I have been in trucking for many years to take this advise to help you a lot not to offend you. Find you a local service shop and avoid those dealers like the plague they will stick it to you every time but I know some of those warranty company's only work with certain people

As an owner operator I feel your pain brother. One reason I love my manual and don’t have that DPF stuff. Stay safe brother.

Thank you for the video and wishing you many more blessings on your business 🙏🏽

Glad it wasn't a transmission also that you had a good experience at mhc as we didn't. This is why we run an old w900l we had one the newer trucks and it spent more time in the shop than on the road. So we went back to what works and that's OLD SKOOL AND LOVE IT . HAPPY 👣

Love your positive attitude even through trying times. God is definitely watching over you as you give him the praise. Glad you are back out on the road making 💰😀

I like your videos man. Keep it up. I’m still in CDL school and you’re an inspiration. Keep it up bro. I’m planning on being an owner operator also.

Dang sorry to hear about your truck being down. I hope they get you up and running soon. So you can get back to the bag. Take care stay safe and God bless.

Jesus Christ bro. That's rough In so many ways. Trucking is stressful enough but a breakdown on top of a week without running is a painful hit financially. I'm still catching up from getting my truck towed and missing out on a load because of it. You're strong brother. Way to keep your composure through it all. Prayers sent to you and your business that it keeps running my brother.

Man bro wishing nothing but the best. Glad everything working out!! Salute

You are such a Good Positive Person l really Love your attitude towards Life Your a Good Man and Good Farther to come HE'LL YEAH Brother!!! Take Care

Just in case you ever have a transmission fault again tru to find out the procedure for a self reset. I know for some trucks it is a series of key on, key off etc. It can get you out of a jam sometimes without a tow truck.

New subscriber here man!! So many downhill days in trucking for me and your videos make my day just a little bit better!! Keep up the great videos!! Been watching all day 😅🤙

Awesome man. Thanks for the shoutout. Sux you had the truxk issues but glad things worked out. Had a thought, that shot of the tow truck booking you up, I had to do a double take. Need to swap those KW mudflaps and get that Wildbeard logo on there. 😂 I thought it was at first. 😂 Be safe bro!

Glad you had the means to take care of it, now make that money back big dawg! Stay Blessed. & Stay Safe Driver!

Bro, GOD works in our favor 🙏... Glad u back on the road bro, I had Truck Master Warranty on my 1st truck not sure on the 2nd... but I didn't know that about the transmission and batteries... awesome, time management is #1

Sorry that you had to go through this. Blessings to you and your family.

I love my hoodie and I am gonna brag you up every time I’m out there TruckinMane! (Shout out to Tay! I got your t shirt too and it’s on it’s way in the mail🤜🤛) I hope the funds help you get that goofy trans fault worked out so you can keep on trucking mane and creating this quality content that we cherish so much. Love you, brutha.

After going on vacation and letting my truck sit over a week, I had the Transmission Fault along with some other cautious as well. I ended up starting my APU and letting that run for 20 minutes. Then tried the truck again and all that was gone. I recommend waiting for the MIL light to go out before turning it over. Also I got in the habit of turning my climate control off until the engine is running to avoid any faults with that. The A/C will trip itself off if you have it in auto without the engine running for too long. Glad you’re back on the road!!

I had a 16’ T680 and had issues related to the chassis wiring harness. Think it ran me about $2500 to replace then the after treatment harness started giving me issues. Always something with these trucks

Awsome video man. Love the intro and edits are fire man! Lets catch sum dubs on siege!!

Trucking with Mr Bone and Milo !! Good channel 👍 Let's get the Phoenix back in the game and make the 💰💰

That sucks dude I will not own a automated transmission to many things that can go wrong I have had several trucks over the years all manuals and other than putting a clutch in at 700 to 800 thousand I haven’t had any transmission issues

Ah all the electronics and comfort is great while it’s working properly lol

Glad you got it handled. 👍🏽

Hey I got a T680 Kenworth ISX15 Cummins... I just bought 4 months ago so the dealership on Aurora Colorado that place is shit...so far I been add it new parts some of them the extended warranty cover like 70% but n 4 months I already spent over $6k already from my packet....that is happening when you buying a used truck...but I'm glad that it works out good for you buddy..

Yooo That’s a major thing a lot of truck problems come from battery failure but you would never think that

Feel the love!

Small step back, that’s all bro! Let’s go and make money again!!!

My t680 is at kw also. I got a shake and bounce. 2 different shops can't figure out what's wrong. Got new tires and shocks. Everything under truck looks good.

Thanks for taking the time to break all that down. Wish you continued success.

I liked that get what needs to be done to save on problems later

IT AIN’T OVER TILL I SAY ITS OVER >>> WHOOOO!!!

Your attitude is amazing keep it up, by the way whats the name of song when waiting for tow truck thanks God Bless.

Way to stay positive bro!

Dude I'm glad that you got everything done, but in the future think freightliner it will be a lot cheaper to fix and will last a lot longer, but happy that you was able to fix the problem, God bless!! You and your family 👪

It ain't cheap when something like that happens at least u had the 💵 💰 to get-rr-done keep on trucking 🚚 be safe and Good 🌅☕✌brother☕

Yours too? Heh. Try being a freight hauler. Owned my own rig for 5 years. Sold it. So much easier just picking up the phone calling breakdown and collecting $32 per hour sitting and waiting on the wrecker. 68mph. OOOOOO too slow. Set run ATL to SoCal back to TX, meet and swap, back to SoCal drop hook back to ATL. 6450 miles per week split team @ $0.79 per mile to the drivers. New truck every other year at 500k for teams. Solo Extra board runs terminal to terminal hotel every night. $80k-$100k for solo extra drivers, doubles haz mat tanker endorsements. Get em.

God is good. Keep on Trucking brother.

Should gotten a eaton Manual but good luck to you

Hell you made out like a bandit any break down under 5k is a blessing and you killed some preventative maintenance. Killed it. Weird we are both from Lex and my home terminal is in Kansas City so I'm there a lot

I have the same truck. Bought the NOX sensor a few months ago. 5 lb part..$639. KW is getting over on us. Have you replaced any clearance light yet? How about $83. Rape in progress. Glad you got going again bro.

I can confirm that issue . My 16 everything was going crazy. I knew it was a battery issue because the voltage on my Inverter was acting up for a few weeks. Turn out to be the Alternator. These newer trucks, when you losing power voltage, everything acts up. Keep up with those batteries. Replace every 3 years

I own a 2017 T680 13 speed, Paccar w/Eaton Fuller / I’ve never had any major breakdowns/ with that said / did you buy the truck used and if so how much mileage & year? My wife keeps wanting an Automatic ( not a fan myself ) just curious about your mileage and year of manufacture, thank you for any input & good luck young man/ keep at it!

Ur blessed bro. Keep doing u

Looking at a 2018 t680 automatic. Hindsight do you recommend this truck?

Interesting that two former transam trucks blow the transmission in the same month. My went down in texas. check your cab marker lights, I had water leaking in the cab. They had drilled out the cab lights so they were basically just sitting there. Had to have it all redone at a body shop.

Awesome..

Damn brother that sucks...wish I would have waited to roll out your in my town where I live but my home town is Kansas City MO

Yours is the third truck this winter that has had battery related transmission issues

What the name of the song when you’re about to get hooked up to town truck? I feel like I’ve heard it before but can’t figure out the name of it. Thanks!

when i had transmission problems it was fixed over night wener put me in a hotel and made sure i was ok lol

Atleast u back up and ready to Roll ,Peace Love and 18 Wheelz

Where was your coolant leak. I’m going thru a gallon a month roughly. 5 months ago my transmission heat exchanger went bad which allowed coolant into my transmission but I fixed that. About a month ago started loosing coolant again. No coolant in my engine oil and no air bubbles showing back pressure from the head. No coolant on the ground.

All part of truckin bubba u will be back out on the road much love to u and wild eyes bubba

any time you go to the dealer for repairs or broken down they will check your maintence record, it will be afew thounsands dollars,

hey where did u get ur steering wheel ive been trying to find one to fit 2018 kenworth t680

Good job ...🔩 🔧 🛠⚙️⛓ repairs part of the journey Watching👁👁 👩🏾‍💻 through your eyes ... 🗞 📰 One Journey🗺🌎🌍🌏 Let's Make It Count❗️ ========

You should get manual, won’t have to deal with bull crap transmitting electrical issues Cummins for life 👌

I've been out here many years. 3 more an im permanently retired. Trucks must have PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. Not just changing the oil. Replacing before they go bad an put you down. Sounds like your doing well. So many young people come to trucking thinking (im gonna get rich quick) an it just doesn't happen. Now I have but its taken years many years. Im new on here me an my wife like your channel. Just some ole farts tuning in son.

nox sensor to be confused with knock sensor. Repairs are always frustrating.

I cant believe that's how that wrecker driver hooked that up 🤣🤣🤣 god that's funny. Did he even chain or strap the rear axles before he lifted the back of the truck? Haha I never would have hooked that up like that

Yo working the amazon work we can actually afford to pay for maintenance, that’s the key, my one truck 10,000 in one month, my son and I have 2 incomes we split the bill, thank god for the Amazon work!!!!stay up!!!!!

Thankful is the key! I would always think it could be worse and I’m glad it’s not. I always viewed a down week like this. $3200 in repairs plus $3200 in lost revenue equals a$6400 down week. Now it’s time to run like the wind! Make double back.

The song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but how do you like paccar engine and drive train? Would you purchase paccar equipment again or would you go with Cummins or Detroit

The dog didn't tell me what was up.

DUDE you remind me of David Lee Roth for some reason

Click baited me with that title bro! Haha! Glad it wasn't the transmission after all though cause that would suck. 1 week down and a laundry list of items done is a good week for an owner operator!

I had the transmission go out On the Hirschbach Kenworth three times Then they pulled me out of it and put me in a freight shaker I know exactly what you’re going through

Good deal, now let’s put those 3 to 6 bands back in the bank:-):-)

Hello friend, I being wanting to buy me Kenworth with a paccar engine, a2018 or 2019 would you recommend me to get one, thanks plz b safe Blessings!

That sucks beard, good thing you had the extended warranty, now you and road dog get back on the road, stay safe brother, that’s how I roll Beard when your down get everything done

🤙🏽

So, nothing was wrong with the transmission, it was just other problems that miss communicated and transmission started acting up.

That’s sad seeing the Phoenix oh the hook, hope your not down too long

THAT SUCKS BUT IS PAET OF BUSSINESS

That's why the truck has to make 22 cents a mile to the truck

Love an auto take over a manual any day better fuel miles. Less tired and better in traffic . and can shift manual with just pressing. The button on the shifter.

That’s the way I roll get it all done and hopefully you won’t be in that situation again for awhile, now get The Phoenix back on the road

Things to make u go hmmmm.

I think the drivers mind is blown as well

As a driver and a mechanic. The best you can do for your self and your truck. Get an apu. Do not idle the truck. This will prevent dpf problems. Carrier comfort pro can be set to watch battery volts, water temps, and provide heat and a/c. Ready for this?? Road dog stays warm cool with out your engine running. This also allows you to comply with no idle laws n policy of shippers like walmart. Keeps run hrs off truck engine so no wear n tear. Leave lights on. As battery goes down, apu will start charge em n shut off. Like a refer on start stop. This is excellent way to safe money. Consider. U get hurt. U go hospital. Road dog with truck. No problem. Apu has a set cab temp itll maintain. N could maintain for weeks. With full fuel tank. This gives ppl chance to get dog without it dying in a hot cab. Also good for you if main engine breakdown n wont start.

Yup pacar made trucks are amazing, pacar engine and trans are the biggest 💩💩💩.. ever

Who is the band playing?

I feel the pain. I can't stand those MHC truck centers after my experiences with them.

Nothing wrong with a Automatic but leave it on Manual once you build speed !! It will help on the RPMS downgrade with the Jake's and down shift it never leave it in Drive.

👍🚛

A good electronic battery tester is $80.00

Where can I get that warranty brother?

$3659.50 good thing you had a warranty

Wow hope it not bad the tyranny

mileage?

Thats what happens anything that has a newer kenworth name will break

I will give you 2k flat rate

Get a manual and delete the Def way less problems
