    • @VagueMemory
      @VagueMemory 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It would be impossible for him to give an in depth answer on that. Every piece of equipment is different. If you ever decide you are going to buy a vehicle or piece of equipment, you should do in depth research on all of the problems that are specific to it ahead of time. Spending the time to do so will save you an incredible headache later.

I think it’s great you talk about and show us the weak points and diagnose things that goes wrong with certain vehicles or equipment from various manufacturers. It’s actually really educational and useful to someone like me. Looking forward for what’s to come!

  • @jjfy6
    @jjfy6 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Westen.... watching and listening to you dissect those vehicles is the most interesting part of these videos.
    I’m not an expert, but I have an enormous interest in the viability of purchasing vehicles that are both relatively new... AND ‘junked’ due to a Major (or undetermined) mechanical failure.
    For other mechanics it might be boring... but for someone like myself that doesn’t have the years of experience learning the intricacies of modern vehicles... YOUR knowledge and ability to dissect those vehicles (especially the line of 1-ton pickups), is REALLY REALLY INTERESTING.
    PLEASE CONTINUE TO POST VIDEOS EXACTLY LIKE THE “AUCTION DAY” vid, focusing on the rapid diagnostics, truck by truck LIKE YOU DID AT THE MIDDLE AND END OF THIS VIDEO.
    THAT SHOWS OFF YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IN A WAY THATS RELEVANT TO PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF THAT WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE MECHANICAL STATE OF ALL THESE USED PICKUPS FOR SALE. I CANT GAIN YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE WRENCHING IN A SHOP OR GOING TO EXPENSIVE TRADE SCHOOLS, SO WATCHING YOU DISSECT THOSE VEHICLES IS REALLY REALLY COOL.
    Keep up the vids and ignore the commenters that are trolling around trying to belittle your knowledge out of spite.
    Thanks bud keep it up!

      Quite simple machines really. Bit of reading, bit of wrenching youll learn a lot. Just depends how much you want to spend on a busted up truck to repair.

      @@timdaviszaper Why you look top to bottom, front to rear. Ive called dealers out many times over on broken things and issues. Just last week i spotted a nice used truck. Turns out it was trashed but a polished turd.

    Westen how did you obtain the KNOWLEDGE for Diesel engines .... More on the auction ....

    • @brandoncaldwell95
      @brandoncaldwell95 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Its quite simple. Diesels are very simple engines to deal with. Wrench on them enough and you know the ins and outs. 68rfe trans usually blow apart. Cummins engines that idle for too long will have fuel wash out the cylinders of oil destroying the engine. Oilfield aint no joke on equpiment. Ran hard put away wet. Had a guy who couldnt get his truck out of 4x4. Comoany said drive it. 300 miles later the transfercase blew and the entire front axle was destroyed. Did as he was told though.

  • @TechnoBabbles
