What you’re describing is happening in every industry. Companies don’t want to pay for decent help and no one wants to mentor new people anymore. It’s sad and idk what to do since I’m early in my career.

Was a commercial driver for one of these corporate fleets for 30 years. Was fortunate for most of those years to have good mechanics like you that kept me rolling. Thanks for all you do !

Didn't this guy try to kill some people during a highway altercation

Bro thank you

If that’s a 5000 mile filter, then that engine was already sludgy to begin with.

what you use to remove the old studs try removing mines and they are snapping in half .

If that’s 5k on the filter I’m a flying taco.

Youre a blatant retard. All my vehicles i do oil changes at 5k and the oil is no where near turning black.

Attention to detail. Military mechanics learn and live this from professional birth. In boot camp, we are disciplined for having a wrinkle in a bedsheet, or a minor defect in a uniform, or the commode has water spots. Why? Because without a detail oriented mindset, people die. Military aircraft fall out of the sky from a missing tool jamming a control surface, or a gun loaded with too much powder, or someone losing a limb in a machine that wasn't properly prepared for maintenance. Today's youth are "excused" for a defect tolerant culture. "Good enough" isn't good enough in practical terms. Yes, upper management shoulders some of the blame, but technicians go along and pass off substandard work because management told them to. Techs should stand their ground and not pass poor workmanship to a customer or quit. A company willing to sacrifice quality is willing to sacrifice their workforce when profits fall anyway and life is miserable without a sense of accomplishment and demonstrated professionalism. Go Navy, only after DJT and the new Defense Secretary sort it out.

Emissions killed the world of diesel. Diesel runs our economy. You mess with diesel you mess up everything. I think the money is in getting paid by clowns to make their duramax into a race car.

I have worked in the auto body industry as a body man for 18 years. The industry is a disaster. Mega companies with people writing estimates that don’t even know what a bumper is. They are ultimately responsible for what is billed and in turn as a commission tech what I make. Insurance companies choking off pay. Imagine getting paid peanuts to repair a 100 thousand dollar vehicle. I have been making the same money for the past 10 years. Now over the past year it has been cut in half. NOBODY is getting into auto body. The money is there but is being left on the table in the front office and that is passed down to us. I’m out.

Is that ground also for the turn signal?

Too much brake clean vapors, you took the 20k oil filter

All I heard was "I still haven't finished the job yet, Boss."

What kind of oil and filter were they using? If you’re using cheap conventional oil and a garbage filter, then yeah, change it sooner. If you’re using a reliable brand of synthetic oil and a premium filter, 5,000 miles in normal driving conditions is fine. BTW - I change my own oil at around 5,000 miles, and my oil filter has never looked like that.

I go 10k & oil results still show plenty of life😄

Where's the connection point for the last one u mentioned?

Hey my man, I have this exact same yr, and engine. I have 2 codes that recently popped up. P24F7 and P0401. Where should I start? AHI module was replaced last November, along with the valve that supplies air to the module..

Sounds like a guy that MISMANAGED his money. Grow up cry baby.

Been doing this for 8 years now after driving for 20+ years got sick of the driving part you are dead on on everything you're saying and i dont understand why younger guys dont want to learn anymore i still learn something new every day but trying to do this and make a good living is getting harder every year im doing it

Sometime jpro dosen't read the codes same as ptt (tech tool) . I also stopped doing regen (bad def- full soot ) .. it falls message, I'm just exiting and resetting soot level and drive again and no stoppage... full soot level my a$%

Hello everyone,I need to find a blown fuse for the stereo(amp fuse blown) on a 2021 Mack LR600

Shops expect techs to complete complex jobs under crazy SRT times as well

Diesel Dan my friend Samatha has been helping me move out of my mom's house and everything we tried failed we been trying to get a mini van we tried a car lot didn't work they went up on the prices on us we are still trying now calling all these rentle places we are not getting anywhere my friend is the only one that can drive I can't I have epilepsy that's why I couldn't get a driver's license we really need help getting a mini van

Here's my new solution for this as a consumer. New cars suck with all the tech, get an older cult car where you typically have a specialty shop that focuses on just those and knows everything about them inside and out. These shops are where the real techs end up and know what they're doing. If you buy a new car there literally isn't anyone to work on the anymore and you'll just get told to bad so sad, that noise is normal and good by.

Its because they pay the people in the office more money, same thing everywhere.

I really want to be a mechanic, just starting going to Pennco in Blackwood for diesel technician straight out of high school and hearing all these stories are scaring me. I want to work in this field but I don’t want to get backstab. I don’t know what to do

Looking for fuses and relays in regards to blinkers and hazards not working

Just replaced 2 of them with low miles on them. What I'm finding is the tension spring is laying on the bearing when I pull the seal out. I normally use skf or stemco.

Bro who you tryna fool with this BS 😭😭🤦🏽‍♂️

Ran into something similar p24f7 code for fuel air purge valve closed. Cleared lines going to 7 th injector and replaced injector. Also found that same bellow cracked and the def dozer covered with white crystals. Did you clean you dpf or replace it?

I never reuse the shoes or the drum.

Truth, esp in auto repair scene. This trade is DYING. Mainly due to cheap employers not paying proper. Hvac, res electrician jobs pay far better, with only a fraction of the $ required for tooling. Stay away from this trade!

Your videos helped me out alout cheers 😊

Thanks

I got into cranes, hoists, elevators, factory automation and industrial machinery... Never looked back, ever. The only automotive I do is my own. Do what is the hardest and you become the hardest to loose. I recently hired a 26 year old apprentice under me, I put rockets on his feet. People teach too slow because they assume everyone fits into a common learning time frame which is false. I treat younger learners like they are smart, I treat them like they actually can learn fast and they never let me down this way. Some guys think you need 2 or 4 years to learn effectively, that's a lie and a joke propagated since the board of education was created in the early 1900's by Rockefeller to feed the factories based on the Prussian empire 8 year education program. You need people that believe in you, that don't need to control you, don't need to own you, that don't need to stay smarter than you. The greatest leaders always put the best and brightest minds, even beyond their own knowledge ahead of them. I take apprentices to pro-level in under two years and they surpass anyone at 4 plus. Learn to actually teach and lead, then the industry can gain respect. We certainly don't need anymore managers, just leaders.

I Own A Shop & Everything You're Saying Is Spot On. Dealing With Customer's Has Me Burnt Out Running A Business.

I have a 2013 Mack Granite (aust model) other than fuse panel ontop of dash where else are there fuses. Interior light fuse popped but l cant locate it. No map for the fuses either

thats why when i finish diesel mechanic school i will work on off road equipment theres more money and pace of the work is slower nobody wants to work heavy equipment cuz nobody likes electrical and hydraulics

Taking over this job from some one else. What direction does the t-stat go into the housing?

ive hit 20k miles and the filter never looked like that.

2014 Mack CXU613 Lighting bolt comes on I lose engine power push gas pedal and nothing light goes off Truck sputters and picks back up speed..Help ? Change foot pedal and filters No check engine lights

Why did you replace yours? Overheating?

Dan please help me! I’m having issues with a cxu613 I just recently purchased. If you had any time to be able to answer a few questions it would be a huge blessing dude. You’re more knowledgeable than the dealer!

From 1800€/ month as a bmw tech ==> 5000€/ month as a shiftworker .

where i am in a big city a lot of construction workers just use scooters to get to work

Hi Dan, what are some of the symptoms of a bad Engine Harness. Ive got a CXU613 year 2017 thats giving engine shutdown alarm with low coolant sign and truck derate. Any advice would be appreciated

My first job out of college I replaced a 20 year veteran mechanic. I immediately saw how the industry was

Hey bud I have a 2013 Mack pinnacle and I don’t have social media so this only platform I can contact you on I am just wondering if you would be interested in doing a consult with me via video chat I have had this truck for a year and have had tons of issues and I feel I am close to solving most of my problems but I am just looking for another good trustworthy opinion and I know you are the guy I could pay you ahead of time and then we could do a phone call first and maybe even video chat if necessary

ASE master tech with 12 years of experience sitting in my work van watching this video on my lunch break as a traveling commercial electrician apprentice- as soon as I can make more money as a tech I’ll come back to live with my family locally- no good reason I should make more money as a first year apprentice than I did as a 12 year tech 🤷🏻‍♂️
