Road Train Sydney to Perth - Is It the Batteries or the Starter Motor?
I had some problems starting the truck a few times. I try to diagnose the problem. In the end it was the starter motor.

Giday John. Really enjoyed viewing your latest video. Watching you changing gears when you were driving through Sydney. My name is Angus and I'm am from NZ in the South Island and drive for a large transport company doing general freight through out NZ and I drive Kenworth K200 model 620 Cummins with a auto box My Kenworth is a truck and trailer unit curtain side a 10 axle unit that's a 5 axle truck and a 5 axle pull trailer. Probably not as common in Australia as they are in NZ. My unit is permitted to 60 ton on our roads which is one of heaviest unit you can have. Anyway I love your videos you put out on KZfaq and your channel is one best trucking channel on KZfaq at the moment John. If you are interested I'll send some pictures of my unit through to you. You want to come to NZ in winter as in the South Island at the moment the temperature gets down to -5 degrees Celsius in the mornings Keep up good work mate Regards Angus.

Then I watch the trucker out is austrailia and u got like 2-4 trailers your back and drive it like nothing, I think these kinda videos are really intresting to watch beacause then you see how other contries the drive trucks and the loads. Awsome video mate, as a fellow trucker I say, keep safe on the roads :).

Did't have to worry about starters or batteries with the old E9V8 Mack, compressed air start, super reliable till your air tank runs out of air, but there's always a tyre to plug in to when that happens. Jus sayin Jono 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Really though Jono a portable battery load tester is a better test proposition as a battery can show good voltage but crash under load. Some of the cheaper import starters burn up armature windings fairly quickly as I've found out the hard way in the middle of nowhere in a 400 big cam Cummins Transtar, luckily a 79 series Cruiser pull started me in low range load and all on a flat roadstop luckily and that engine wasn't turned off for several hundred K. All the best mate, drive safe Roscoe.

It never fails to make me feel relaxed,and when i see a strip of tarmac going into the distance with just about nothing between you and the horizon. I know from your films you love oz,as do i! Never been there and have no chabce of getting there unless im 'in the cab' with you. Could you also pass on my appreciation to your bosses,apart from the obvious fact they have a very good asset in you as a driver you are just about the best advert for thier company they could have! You are helpfull(strapping up the broken suspension on the trailer of the indian guys train!)considerate and polite. You look after your truck and take pride in the work and the equipment. And for them to let ypu stop and do clips of amazing places on the way is something most companies over here(UK)wouldnt like due to time restraints,i know your situation is a bit different with the colossal mileages you do but i dont think ive heard you say you've been late!

I learned that many years ago with a B Series ERF, Gardner 180, David Brown box and Eaton two speed axle. Get that wrong and you're stuffed 😂. Also, can't beat a well sheeted load 😉 Anyway, looking forward to the next one, happy motoring!

It's very interesting watching these road trains! Although I know they have even longer ones in Australia. They are all interesting to watch. We have triples in the States, but not the same. We mainly have A-trains that aren't really trains, which I thought was cool to see up until I learned about B-trains, which appears to make much more sense, especially since I hate hitches. Now, I'm learning about AB-trains while watching this video, lol! I guess that's better than an A-train, I suppose! At least it doesn't have all hitches or whatever they may call it there!

Geez I really enjoyed watching your travels, I’ll definitely look forward to your next one, good work there, it’s been a long time since I used to travel from Melbourne to Perth by road in which I used to do most Christmases as a young bloke to see family over there and one particular time back in the early 1970’s I was driving back to Melbourne around midnight in my XP Falcon Hardtop thinking how I wasn’t looking forward to the unmade stretch between Eucla and Ceduna when the engine died just a little out of Balladonia and to cut a long story short the cam chain broke and had to be towed back to Norseman by Baladonia’s old sidewacker V8 jail bar Ford tow truck which was an adventure in itself as I had to sit in the car being towed backwards as the truck only had a drivers seat! I remember it being an expensive exercise but fond memories nonetheless! I always reckon it was Murphy’s law travelling the Nullarbor back then because if something was going to go wrong it was always when you were out in “ shitters ditch” 👍

Very good story. It probably would have been more comfortable in the back seat of the car than in the tow truck

Love your video, It's always amazing to see your update. I've been doing HC supermarket store delivery in Perth for nearly a year. Hopefully one day I can drive Road ranger road train do some long-distance driving to see different part of Australia. Tonkin Hwy road work been going on for at least 3 years+, and no one know when will it be done. Safe trip mate.

Am in Kleinburg Ontario Canada and dang I enjoy watching you shift that KW all over the country downunder keeping the country on move . How many miles / Kms so far on that engine ? A Batt isolator on your Batts would be a good option for you as you up and down the country. Always test each batt alone ie with no connections from the other batt. There you can tell which batt is weaker or not taking charge . Now that you mentioned Canada . Take a trip sometime for a break ie Bucket list 😂😂. Keep trucking and let be every single clip you upload . Be safe brother 🙏🙏

Yeah our trucks don't have battery isolators. I did test each battery individually. It's the only way to see which battery has dropped a cell. It turns out is was the starter motor which had now been replaced and all its well. I don't know why people don't like manual transmission. I hate automatic. They do not shift well and I've driven many makes of trucks.
