Trucking and Life when you test drive it how long should you drive it to make sure no leaks ECT ECT

Where do you send the oil samples and how long does it take for the results and how much it cost

@@B2BKwestion Chevron does oil samples, as does most of the other big Oil companies. You buy an oil sample kit, take a sample of the oil while the engine is at operating temperature with a bottle vacuum pump, or from the oil drain after you've waited for the crap in the bottom of the pan to come out. You fill out a sheet that comes with the kit, cap it up, stick it in the shipping container it comes with, add stamps, then chuck it in the mail. Usually 1-2 weeks after the sample has made it through the mail.

@@JosephArata my problem now is I get the truck and I take it to a third party they say it's OK, I take the oil sample and it comes back bad I've just signed up for a bad truck. What is your advice

@@JosephArata thanks for the reply

Thanks for watching!

Im glad this video was helpful and its just the tip of the iceberg of what to look for on a truck but its a start thanks for watching

kevin guffey I see you’re another You Tube idiot who goes around making useless dumbass comments. Don’t comment on people’s post unless you have something of value to say. This shit you so called adults go around doing is old and boring.

Me too! And I’m nervous. I wonder what’s a good mileage for used dumps.

thanks joseph herron

Hey man I need some advice , I wanted to buy this truck on eBay but the dealership is a 5hour drive The mileage is great and so is the price Almost too good to be true but they guy gave me some story on why the truck doesn’t have a lot of mileage. Anyways the dealership told me that they don’t give warranties but if I wanted to, I should bring a mechanic along to check the box truck(selling as is) Any advice sir ?

To be honest with you Patrick I didn't know about blowby at that poin, t but I learned about that since then and when I do another video about checking things I'm definitely going to mention that along with other things I've learned from others as well as you now thanks patrick!

@@TruckingandLife Please do forgive me then, we all have a learning curve. Take care out there buddy, good video thou, alot don't mention the steering box.

@@PatrickBaptist thanks bro I appreciate it!

What's up P.4.A! hey i will be the first to say i am not a mechanic nor do i proclaim to be one. this video is for people who don't have a mechanic and don't know where to find one! i mentioned in the video that this is just to get someone started on things they can look for NOT ALL! some info is a good start. if you have better info? then how about me and you do a zoom call and i can share it on the channel to inform people properly on pre purchase truck inspections? unless you have a video about it already then i can just share it with your permission! I am all about proper education for the average driver. if you're interested email @ www.truckingandlifecoaching@gmail.com thanks look forward to hear from you.

thanks jerry....somebody is going to see this remark and learn to do that.. appreciate the advice big bro

Hey thanks for watching ! I know I left a lot out ! Not on purpose just wanted to touch on some of the things ya know!

Thanks Brian I didn't even think about that ! I appreciate that sdvice!

Wearing that hat makes you look like Darius Rucker in his Wagon Wheel video. I was expecting to see Uncle Si. Seriously, you were pretty thorough, knew your stuff, nd are not some KZfaq turkey.

cough cough blow by...

before you buy it let it run on the lot while you are checking everything else! whatever oil leak or coolant leak there is it probably will show up once the engine get hot while idling or definitely after the test drive.

@@TruckingandLife What's the best truck to buy when pulling containers and its specs?

@@karltonallen2033 it really doesn't matter what truck you get to pull cans.. as long as it has at least 435 horse power you should be ok on the power side, but a good truck you have to really check whatever truck you get and hope for the best lol!

Pretty much with watching the smoke coloration from the stack, dyno and oil sample etc!

ken harris oh yeah they will get you man!

😆

What's up R.W! Naw I'm a Chicago native Big bro.

??

yeah i know lol

man facts i'm just now seeing this and thx so much for the vid ... buying a truck this year

Same here lol

@@dcartiair where are u thinking about buying ftom... I really want my own truck too

Charlie Harrison do the dyno and inspection

What's up torrin what kind of truck is it the year and what engine is in there?

@@TruckingandLife it's a 2015 international prostar with a Cummins engine 15.0L isx1

@@torrinsantana9952 Cummins is a decent motor here is some things you can on your own ( the stuff on the video) but also get a dyno test on the truck before you buy it ... take it to a shop that has the software for the isx engine and have them check for any codes in the ecm! Like turbo operation, egr valve operation, def system operation etc! You can probably take it to international if you are not buying the truck from international dealer! If the truck pass all of that... when you get the truck change all the oil in there from engine to the 3 box that's the transmission and 2 rear differentials to ensure fresh oil and then have a ta test the ph in the coolant to see if that need to be need changed. But the def system need be looked into because they don't warrenty that system past a year I think! and it can be really pricey but it's a way around that! I know it seem like a lot but you dont want a lemon! Hope this helped bro!

@@TruckingandLife thanks a lot bro will do all the above

@@torrinsantana9952 no prob bro

"You are don't have a clue' What sense is that suppose to make? But yeah he didn't mention testing blow by.... First thing one should look at.

Patrick Baptist hi, can you explain to me what this blow by inspection is, I'm about to buy my first used truck and I'm doing research. Thanks

Hey Now, I've drove some junky old 379's I wouldn't wish on the worst rookie.

dstarks80 thing is there is hope for the worst 379 as far as restoration goes not to mention your still better off on re sale value with a pete or kw

Kevin you just made my fork drop😆 seriously you've got to have a starting point, before you get the pets n kens or?

No worries r.w
