Tim your Dad didn't seem to be in a very good mood is He feeling okay or just tired from working a lot. That's one thing about your Dad He is a very hard worker constantly on the move always fixing something. You are very Lucky to be Blessed with your Dad and have Him helping you make your company successful and growing and supports you.
he has to be the luckiest man when it comes to employees because most people would not put up with old equipment constantly breaking down. One thing to have the old rebuilt equipment on the road opposed to old patched up farm trucks driving around
Idea to help keep the shop clean and organized - Paint the floor. either go two tone or paint a 3 or so foot strip down each wall and a center strip where the toolboxes are to go. That way there is a visual guide to where crap can and more importantly cannot go. Bonus is easier to clean up spills
What happens when they get caught up just fire the new guy??? Most shops don't run out and hire help when they get behind its usually some kind of expansion that calls for extra help 👍
Tim I want to thank u Braxton ur dad n everyone who works for u I enjoy ur videos please keep up the great job u n Braxton the the coolest father n son pair out there haters will be haters as long as u keep posting I will keep watching thanks
Glad to see y’all keeping the big cam alive.yall need to do the dual fuel lines on it so it has plenty of fuel and not having to rely on one fuel line.trust me it helps a lot.Love them ol big cam engines. Always enjoy y’all’s videos y’all keep up the good work God bless
Hey Tim I just had to park 2 of my trucks but my drivers are still working I love you guys and keep up all the good work I can't make to Matt's Please 🙏 show as much as you guys can
My wife and I are both diesel truck mechanics and have always used Matco tools. Recently, we decided the benefits would be better if she went to work for a truck manufacturer. She easily got a job with Peterbilt; however, that move is going to cost us more than we expected. Women working at Peterbilt are required to use Snap-On Tools. She's gonna have to get a whole new box!
@@heyinway Well see, that was the thing my wife said. She wanted to take the job because I had more to hide, not very much at all, but just a little bit more.
Tim l have seen other builder reuse a Head Gasket over if the motor has NOT been run and the MOTOR never got HOT and the Head Gasket worked everytime. BUT you are going to get people say NO it's NOT true it won't work l have seen it work BUT it is totally up to you to believe it or not.
Good to see you all back home for a while, and giving some info on what is going on in your trucking company, good luck with the problems,it is part of it, I enjoyed the video.
@dougjones6823 Hey man, that's your opinion, my opinion is if you use in situation like Timmy did your ok, if you are useing it on a motor that has another issue like a motor that don't stay primed ect and your useing it every start up than a motor has potential to get addicted, however as you can see clearly that's not what Timmy was doing,
You got a decent shop now--and your Dad has to work outside in the gravel?? Get that car out of there-let the trucks that make money get in the shop, man.
Hey Tim how is the family doing today and how is Brax doing today so hopefully you will have western truck done in time before you go just take your time
Not big into flat tops but the dash board is definitely done up very nicely in it and looks to be one of the better if not best looking dash boards in the fleet.
I've been seeing the sleeper on the back of a cab where is the middle section where the seats because Weston wanted a four-door truck with a sleeper I haven't seen the other section lately
thats the fuel cross overs for each head who set the top end on the 359 it doesnt sound right they are totally different set up than an N14 those old 855 dont need either to start
So what was the check engine light, what fixed it, an those metal gaskets with o rings in them, I've seen people cut those o rings out an replace with a new oring an it hold up an run good , no leaks
It seems like it's a proving fact that none of y'all are certified diesel mechanics.Nothing looks cleaned after tooking apart or painted afterwards.to a dirty looking shop, the lot even looks messy too.
Got so much time on your hands to be filming something that most of us ain't feeling cause it's been about 18 months and haven't finished Westens Peterbilt and don't make any excuses bout parts cause them Peterbilt parts are out there cause Jess and Company is getting it done more than you and their struggle is real
That's not a check engine light it's a SCR after treatment light. If you deleted it the after treatment light will be on till you have all of the after treatment sensors off. I ran into this with a deleted truck I drove
You need me to come out to your place and put them threw the break I n part. I was at a John Deere tractor dealer and they had a fluid break in tank and would keep them under a load a full throttle to make the break in the right way. These old farmers get new motor would just put them around and that’s the worst thing to do so they got this fluid dyno that ran off pTO and full throttle for about 4 hrs and no problems after that every thing would seat in and rings and stuff and it was so cool to hear them crank them and let work hard for about 4 hours after this they no more tractors coming back because they would not work them hard and with a big stack coming out of the roof of the shop .
@@andrewb941 It`s a pearl with a blue tinted flake. Up close with the light or sun on it makes it nice, but from a distance,to me, it looks like crap. It needed more blue in it There`s too much contrast.
Head gaskets for that engine are made by at least 50 different manufacturers. My uncle owns a crane service and 6 of the cranes have NTC-400 BC3 engines and I do all the mechanical work on then. I tried the Mahle head gaskets and never once had a problem with a head gasket.
@Gentry&Son Tim got a question I have drove trucks for years mostly front discharge concrete trucks when we did an Inframe on one 99%cummins big company they used called Clark power in Greensboro NC it always cost around $40,000 as a business owner you thank lot of that was there labor or is parts that high keep trucking my friend
Anyone with a Cummins brain knows you double check the plugs in the back of the heads They’re interchangeable so look at the back of the third head Rookie mistake
I want to know why the blue freightliner fld flattop isn't back yet it was only getting a rear put in it and also where is the pete project that you bought from Sh-tube I want to see that truck start coming together. Also where has bonnie been at? I also know that I've asked this a few times already but I've never heard an answer yet but I always ask when you are going to finally go pick up the matching trailer that goes with Johnny cash cabover because I am really looking forward to it being reunited with Johnny cash the cabover! Also not only do I want to see it back with Johnny cash cabover, but I think that it would match rooster really good aswell, because to me out of all your trucks including the new Pete's as much as I like them I look at rooster as being the top of the line #1 truck of the fleet and since Johnny cashs trailer is basically the same color as rooster and is basically top of the line for a trailer in its day I just think that rooster pulling that trailer that pretty much matches the color of rooster would be an awesome setup to see!
I thought Steve was driving the Classic cuz that was the paint that he wanted. He's not driving it because it was having issues? Is he getting it back?
I find it sad that Brax had to ask what that switch does. Not that long ago switches in American trucks were labeled in English. Nowadays its labeled in "Illiterate". This modern age is for the birds!
Here I am 50 years old and now I want to go buy some trucks but no seriously I would like to try the hotshot delivery stuff and I’m just really wondering if the money is really as good as people say it is because I would be definitely interested
Pretty cool he got a new cummins (ISX) together, he got an older cummins (n14) together and he got a Detroit (60series) together and only one he was missing was a Cat engine. But of course if you ask me you don't Need to work on a Cat lol some people are probably going to disagree with me lol I'm a cummins man honestly, but I love them all they are all good except paccar lol If you have a (Cat, Detroit, or Cummins) your ok in my book lol if you drive anything else we can't be friends😂 with the exception of international engines but for lighter duty applications of course.
Do you love the 60 series Detroit I had one in a car hauler and the dog would pull like a cat or maybe better but we could not use them because they were too heavy but they were great motors GM put 10 of them in because they would use us to test there engines because we hauled GM products but what a great motor wished we could have used on our road trucks I ran coast to coast and Canada .
The number one reason to keep a shop clean is fire prevention.
Lmao. To soon ?
DAM REALY HAAD TO GO THERE
What's sad is Timmy won't understand or admit you are absolutely correct.
Tim your Dad didn't seem to be in a very good mood is He feeling okay or just tired from working a lot.

I've always favored the older trucks. An old truck running good is far better than anything new.
Job security.
I'm guessin you never ran ur own company

Your Poor old Dad seems to be overwhelmed with work&broken Engines,you all need to get another Full time lead Diesel mechanic to assist your Dad.
What happens when they get caught up just fire the new guy??? Most shops don't run out and hire help when they get behind its usually some kind of expansion that calls for extra help 👍
Hell yeah your dad is rolling them out the door I'd say the old man deserves a pay raise for doing all that tedious mechanic work

I think Dad might need a hand in a shop as you get more and more trucks. Just a thought
True word right there but dad don't like help
They have 5 employees in the shop to help dad already
@Ellis157 lol you act like you personally kmow the guy what's Tim's dad's name???
@6181green if I knew I wouldn't have called him dad but I was talking to Tim in the comments so
@@6181green also 5 people for 15+ trucks is not enough + the tow company + now the truck customize service
Your shop reminds me of the auto wrecker. Were they pretend to fix cars out the back door and sell them.

very good to see your doing good good father does miracles god bless sir

Love the shop content and updates on the fleet trucks
So many grown ass men worrying about Tims problems instead of their own damn problems
Love your guys back in the shop showing the repairs and figuring out the problems
The shop is looking really good now with your changes. Can't wait to see Weston's truck finished
Tim l have seen other builder reuse a Head Gasket over if the motor has NOT been run and the MOTOR never got HOT and the Head Gasket worked everytime. BUT you are going to get people say NO it's NOT true it won't work l have seen it work BUT it is totally up to you to believe it or not.
Finally see him with a 359 on the channel that truck is perfect. I watched all his videos haven’t seen when I got the truck though
Perfect truck good specs has the oem dual square headlights and the Cummins engine, great color I’d trade my 359 for that ,
Those mirrors on the fenders need to go away on the 359
@@scottycollins1829 definitely I haven’t noticed it
Hello Tim and Brax and the whole shop I see that you are getting things done good deal
Maybe time for some help in the shop. You have a lot of employees but looks like one guy your dad that works on stuff
Good to see you all back home for a while, and giving some info on what is going on in your trucking company, good luck with the problems,it is part of it, I enjoyed the video.
So brand new motor and your already feeding it Crack hell of a way to ruin a motor!!!!
Lol, you have to use more than that,
You are right about the either. Wouldn’t let them rebuild a Briggs and Stratton.
@@TakinBumpsNBlownScales once you start using it on a motor it's like Crack for the motor it just starts to crave it and won't run without it

You fellas and gals don’t let grass grow under your feet.
You can have Bonnie and your Detroit l will take Roster with the CAT 😺 MOTOR !!!!
Look like da stock exhaust fell off dat x15 already 😂
The Pete looks good with the paint job, it’s bad ass .
You got a decent shop now--and your Dad has to work outside in the gravel?? Get that car out of there-let the trucks that make money get in the shop, man.
It's not the size of the boat !! It's the skill of the skipper
Man you guys worry more about lights than you do the mechanical well being,it ain't no wonder this shop is a mess,
Them big motors sound so good, talk to me big dog !!
That needs to be a new shop shirt design. It ain’t the size that matters, it’s the quality of work you put out
That's right Tim when I put my britches on I like to stand up to
Still videoing the dash 🫤👎
Hey Tim how is the family doing today and how is Brax doing today so hopefully you will have western truck done in time before you go just take your time
If you can convince your ole man to move his boxes they’d be able to pull trucks in that bay straight!
Not big into flat tops but the dash board is definitely done up very nicely in it and looks to be one of the better if not best looking dash boards in the fleet.
Great now the cats out of the bag, everyone gonna be trying to come see Weston in our little town.
There was a shop full yesterday
Hi Tim awesome vid I still think you should look at a job site towing unit it’s a game changer
Heck yeah let's get it put together y'all
I've been seeing the sleeper on the back of a cab where is the middle section where the seats because Weston wanted a four-door truck with a sleeper I haven't seen the other section lately
Westen is going to get a 2 door cab with a 2 door sleeper.
thats the fuel cross overs for each head who set the top end on the 359 it doesnt sound right they are totally different set up than an N14 those old 855 dont need either to start
How many thinks Weston's truck will be done in time for Matt's? I don't think so.. also you have a wrecker why not use it to go pick up the truck
Good truck
IT IS WHAT IT IS TILL IT ISNT ANY MORE
So what was the check engine light, what fixed it, an those metal gaskets with o rings in them, I've seen people cut those o rings out an replace with a new oring an it hold up an run good , no leaks

see you at mats
That's not a check engine light it's a SCR after treatment light. If you deleted it the after treatment light will be on till you have all of the after treatment sensors off. I ran into this with a deleted truck I drove
I have a DDECV ecm and injectors in my 04 Classic XL and have only changed two injectors in 11 years and the ECM just went bad after 13 years…🤷🏼♂️
You didn't even realize the light out on the passenger side as well as the driver side on the air filters.
I did once I got back from test drive
Howdy good evening y'all
Love the video keep them coming from Chattanooga
I thought the classic had a new engine put in it at the old shop?
Hey what’s up fam how y’all doing much love let’s go #GNSTRUCKING stand up checking in with y’all one love fam
use a vacume pump on the return line till you get fuel ,no need to ever use ether.

Could you make those head gaskets. Make them the way you like them , plus you could make enough to sale to other shops

Why so many trucks on the lot with 10 or so driver's? Fire trucks and campers...lot of $$$$$ sitting there 😮
