Truck won’t start Mechanic: we’ll you need new windshield wipers and a toaster oven and that will be $32,000
Lmao, yeah no shit they really try to suck wallets dry ! 🤔
Truck mechanic 41 years, to lump us all into one box of miserable coots is just not right.
@@firstname6208 majority
@@firstname6208 There are a few good and honest mechanics out here, problem is, they are far and few between.
What about your muffler bearing was it okay LOL
when i had my shop.......2 people could adjust a clutch in 15 mins max. easy job. solo clutches are junk. put in a standard clutch and use a 2 piece clutch brake. makes life a lot easier for you and the mechanics. easier is cheaper in the long run.
These are the reasons we do our own repairs and save money and time.
100% mechanics on any vehicle are a scam because most people don't take the time to learn their vehicle, even if they paid 50k for it. They can charge whatever they want if you don't have the knowledge to dispute it.
The look on Litas face at 14:05 SAYS IT ALL!
And those legs of the mechanic sticking out from under the truck! 😂😂
@@glcmranger421 mack is a joke now NOTHING but sell outs!!!!
run from that shop as fast as you can!
Hey Brother. I got invited to the shops xmas party. Since you donated all that money too. Were hvin lobster an steak. Thanks Man.Peace.
🤣
I’m a retired mechanic, my advice is to tow and wait at the mechanic you trust.
A simple clutch adjustment does not make one liable for a clutch failure. Your thought process is all wrong. If I adjust a clutch on a big truck that has a ton of miles on it, then the clutch fails a week later. I gonna tell you to pound sand. Rule of thumb..... The Clutch pedal should travel 1.5" freely before engaging the clutch.
In fact it sounds to me that you have a self adjusting clutch that failed due to weakened pressure plate springs. Due to exposure to excessive heat.
You do have a solo clutch and they can be "adjusted" or reset by loosening all the tranny housing bolts , sliding the tranny back a little and installing if I remember right 1" shims between tranny and flywheel housing and then tighten bolts and apply pedal a couple times I think to reset. Then remove all and bolt back up and and use pedal again to set up correctly. This is all depending on the fact that the clutch is still as clean as it was from the factory lol. It usually doesn't work correctly. If you do replace the clutch your best bet would be to go with and "easy pedal" or a regular clutch...do not install another solo as they are absolute junk.
Turn the engine till the indicator is at the bottom , have a buddy hold the clutch pedal down, take a small air hammer with a dull chisel tool, gently tap tap tap on the indicator to back it up towards the new side. Hold the indicator there and have your buddy release the clutch pedal. Start the engine, depress the pedal, it should self adjust. If the indicator gets with in 1" of worn it is probably toast. Do the slip test. If it doesn't stall the engine, it is definitely junk.
Hey bro this shit is rough and hard. Stay positive dude and good things will come .. just keep on truckin!!
Try Haggai Diesel Repair. They are in Georgia. That's where a lot of TH-camrs go and you never hear anything bad about them.
I was gonna say that as well.
Me as well
I learned Haggai Diesel Repair through Justin.
Glad you got a Sponsor !!!
I am too but Chineese made boots... no thanks.
This is y me and my brother try to fix our trucks ourselves. Cause some shops take forever and they just change parts.
What a welcome back home ordeal LOL
i was previously an auto mechanic and a certified welder, prices were expensive, and i wasn't even the one getting the money for the work i did same problems on the gasser side, just a little cheaper lol, makes much much more sense to learn the trade yourself, if you have buddies that can source parts too, the more the merrier
The garage used a fork lift and the chain to move the truck into the service bay because it would not start. The mud flap probably got ripped off during the move. I learned a long time ago that it's better to have it towed home. You need a good lawyer to sue the garage. Your experience with them has been a horror story.
Hey I had almost the same thing happen to me with the ram. I had to change the Can and the lifters and the guy after having my truck for a month told me the part are on back order for two month but he said he found them in eBay but it will cost me double. I told him hold on it I went and found the parts at the dealer same day not only half the price but 3/4 of the price less. This mechanics are a trip stealing money from us.
I read over your bill.. man I would question that bill.. they triple charged you.. just sayin..
Glad you got smart and took the truck to another shop.
Lesson learned young man; When it starts off bad it doesn't get better and next time you start getting getting that bull shit. . Run!
Great video. Glad you decided to just go get your truck . I think that shop would of kept saying other things need replaced and just keep trying to charge you more and more $. Be safe out there.
All Robbery repair shops operate the same they all in the business for you to get robbed.
That newbie mechanic burnt your clutch brake out because he didn’t know how it works !
LAWYER UP ROBERT !!!
I always check reviews and have a bunch of mechanics on speed dial and I spent 12 years as a diesel mechanic so it's not often I get one over me!
They should have caa for heavy trucks I’ve been looking but they say there’s nothing for commercial vehicles
Wow! The camera at the end is very crisp. 👍
That sad leaving one repair shop and going to another, good luck 👍.
Sounds like a bunch of parts changers And I'm not trying to sound like a Dick but adjusting your clutch is super easy you can do it you just need Basic tools and basic knowledge of how to wrench you will save yourself a lot of money if you can do some work by yourself like a Justin Bragg's changing slack adjusters stuff like that
I have made so many videos. Told so many different folks that if you cannot work on your own equipment or make enough money to have new equipment with a warranty you will face a great deal of frustration at these sold called professional shops, Sorry for your trouble I know it doesn't help but I do mean it I hope you get your truck fixed soon.
What they were trying to do is used the supply crunch to charge more money on the injectors and when you bought the parts, that upset them. If you take your truck for the first time and they don't know you, they will rip you off. Man good luck.
I’m thinking that maybe smaller town shops might have better mechanics. Seems like the big city shops just hire anyone who can turn a wrench. I wish you could find a good shop to get your $$ worth and get back on the road. I know you have problems far away from home but maybe do the minimum to get it home and then get it done right. Good luck.
You do have to use the clutch to keep it in adjustment with solo clutch’s
The new decals are awesome
Great video… Glad you kept your temper under. control,,,,,me,,,,probably not ! Hope things get better. Truck. start’s better
This is why you need a new truck or a new Mack
Truly good mechanics/shops,,, stay backed up ‼️. The chit sho shops can always get you right in ‼️. And over charge you to f*** ya truck up way worse than it was before they touched it ‼️
Robert your a lot calmer and understanding then I would be , after the time and money and your truck is not finished or atkeast working and running properly ....great content
Yes very calm
Pull Type Clutch .. I have the instructions that came with the clutch for adjusting it .. I have a steel spacer to measure the gap
Cool new logo 👊🏻💪🏻🇺🇸
Glad you got it home. The worst hill was the next one between 153 and 149. I had a friend who was a mechanic at Nextran for many years, but something happened to his hands and he's been out of work for quite some time. I hate it that you had a bad experience there but at least I know to stay clear. I'm going to buy something with a Cummins, like an ISX-15 and already know where to take one of those for service.
Buy something with a n14 cummins with no def no smog shit! Better and cheeper than the x15
Hagai diesel
@@stephenlandsteiner886 Absolutely!
MAN, I know what you mean, I'm a truck diesel mechanic and the shop I use to work for constantly over priced, add on bill, price gouging, poor driver is over a barrel . I never thought that would happen at a big name shop the way it did, all I can say do a little home work on the job that's being done, needless to say I don't work there anymore, and the problem is probably going to get worse ,
Be safe out there
After replacing the faulty lift pump, the mechanic started the truck on ether. It barely ran. He then hooked up a scantool and did a cylinder power balance test, with air in the injector lines from the lost prime. He found low % on 5 injectors and condemned 5 good injectors. This shop is garbage.
My air assist leaks a little as well and I been driving it like taht for years and wish u was near I’d adjust it for u. I’ve got a day can pinnacle. It’s a 07 has a mp7 in it and I’m having hell with it right now. It just falls on its face and the shutdown light comes on. U let off the gas pedal and light goes off. But it still has no go. Runs normal just losses all its power. It’s not bad at all to adjust a clutch. We run Ford 3/4 ton 4x4 and we pull ours trucks and we have pulled them loaded a few times with no big issue. Long as we could get traction the Ford had no issues at all.
I am so DAM happy I sold my Truck 3 Months ago to much B S hope you the best bro
Good video Robert thank
as someone who has been a service writer you don't sell the job to the customer until you have all the diagnostics done, check the parts availability, calculate a final price in parts and labor and overall have all your ducks in a row. Sounds like a total clusterfuck shop
I had the same thing happen to me at Nex Tran they said they took it on 3 Test Dr. They said it ran great. I get in it and the brakes for locking up on the truck and it would hardly move. Same thing I took it in for.
Dude you keep proving how damn your bulb is they don't need to know you're going on a cruise you're going on a cruise that tells them your pockets fat and they're going to want to rip you off more🙄
If a clutch is slipping adjusting it might help for a little while
Sweet sponsor....even more for us all who lean Right 😁
That’s an actual Mack dealer ??? Holy shot what buffoons !!!! You should have gotten them to put a mud flap on that they lost 🤔🤔🤔
how come you are not complaining about a dirty truck, Kirk?
@@PeterALoch because I'm not a douche like you 😎😆💪☝️
If your Mack MP8 or Volvo D13 has a problem where it has a hard time to start have your shop put a clear line on the fuel return out of the head.Start it.If there is air in the line it will need injectors and injector cups.After your fourth set of injectors and cups you will need a cylinder head.
I was seething myself just WATCHING all the stuff going on: I can only IMAGINE how frustrated YOU must’ve been !!!!
love the channel and love her green hair lol looks too cool... stay safe
Sir I mentioned this before prior to your vacation and when you were having problems with the truck earlier and with all due respect I think you would be best served with the answer was sitting in your driveway and that's your brother's unit and if his intention is to get out of trucking no doubt the Mack has served you well but I think it's at the point where it's going to cost you more in the end what ever you choose to do I respect your dedication to your prophesin
Been there. Done that. Made it 12 miles and piston came apart after an inframe at Cat in Cleveland Ohio.
A Mack is different to adjust the clutch than most! Thanks!
He said it has a solo clutch, one manufacturer many different truck brands, it adjusts the same in all chassis.
@@firstname6208 Thanks!
Trucking is a dirty game
Love the new logos on the truck …..demand a new mud flap before you leave that shitshop
I agree with others have said buy your brother's truck
Just wondering why they charged you on first bill you showed, the core for Nox sensor, if they replacing it then they have the core not you, unless you requested the old one back.
I hope you kept those chains!
I never blame the victim. Even it they could have done things different. The bottom line is that if people were honest and fair then there would not have been anybody getting tagged. Haggai Truck shop in Georgia. I will drive a long way to take my vehicle to someone I can count on. Totally worth it. Sunny skies ahead my friend.
You must watch JustTruckin
@@shaun2318 He is a punk.
Jerry and his family are good folks. Jerry has a solid crew, and is worth the wait if you need serious engine work done. Watching them in frame a motor is something to see. They do so many Cummins that they have it down to the point it is like watching a NASCAR pit crew work their magic.
Don't call him for little stuff, he is for engine work, not brake chambers or suspension work.
Green hair so nice.🤣
I know what’s wrong with it…. Ain’t got no gas in it!😂
I bought a new ihc in 2000 it came with self adjusting clutch. It wouldn’t adjust correctly. There was no way to adjust it dealer said. They put a regular clutch back in it under warranty. I still drive that same truck today. So I don’t know how they could have adjusted it. Good luck.
I really don't know how you put up with all this stuff......you're paying absolute top dollar for backyard mechanic results....crazy times. Be safe.
You sir, have the patience of Job.
If it has a wear bar they're auto adjusters I think. How'd they fuck up injectors vs filter head though. That's so easy to prove. Mack makes a clear line kit and you can very easily bypass the filter base to prove if it's either the injectors or fuel filter base.
For a moment, I thought Lita had a new car! 34:29 (Right in frame).
The dealer charge more ,but they will give you warranty ,one Mecanic trying to rip me off ,I called the sheriffs department on his ass ,and he try to steal my truck ,the sheriff department told him he need to give me my truck back ,and I got my truck back with out paying any thing because he broken one part
Did you get the old injectors back?
It's your own fault. You have a very good mechanic that you trust, but instead, you paid some jerkoff over $10,000, and still have to pay your good mechanic to fix what they screwed up. You should have rented a Pro tote towing rig, used your brothers rig, or even rented a truck, and tow your own rig home. I see them all the time at auctions. They ran about $4,000 to buy one. I would imagine renting one would have been cheaper.
Even better his brother has a step deck. Hire a tow company to get it on the trailer?
They don't call them stealerships for nothing. My mechanic is in North Ga, is excellent, and doesn't charge anywhere near what a dealership does.
The trucking industry is cut throat.
It should have a Eaton ez adjust 5/8 and push the bolt in and turn it til you have a 1 1/2 of freeplay
I had a similar situation. Sue tgem in claims court what there doing is not right . And let them know . Try to negotiate out of court if it doesn’t work then go to court.
My situation the DEALER recommended a new engine so I bought the new engine. Later I discovered the engine shouldn’t have been put in. I proved them wrong.
I received full refund by court ordered and had a new engine in my truck.
You can always come to work at maverick and be a company driver.
Mack repair shop that knows fk-all. Throwing parts like they’re free. Big commissions on parts sales. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the enhancement on the mechanics hourly wage base.
Yep, your truck was trainee playground after hours.
Chain wrapped on your bumper and missing a mud flap? WTF…..
0:39 logo looks nice
Hello from New Hampshire
I really feel for you
What type of clutch do you have?Solo or Easy Pedal?If you have a Solo it is junk.The auto adjuster fails and will not adjust the clutch.Put in an Easy Pedal.
Wow! That's So Weird!!! ... I'm a fuel hauler & just ordered a pair of 'Brunts' last night cuz a coworker said they're awesome & the best he's worn in his 30yrs of driving ... I've never needed boots for driving until now so I said what the hell... I don't have them yet, but when I get them I'll report back...BTW, I'm only 1:11mins in the video ... LOL
If it has a wear indicator it's a solo clutch. You Can't Adjust Those.
You have to have a solo with air assist, if you replace with a easy pedal manual adjust it will wear out faster because you won't be able to to tell it needs adjustments until it's slipping.
That’s what they kept calling it a solo clutch. So what do you think they did to mess it up?
@SouthGeorgiaHotShot they probably had someone press the clutch pedal and someone got underneath and push the wear tab back to the new position, that mad the adjuster ring jam that's why it's slipping.
You will need to replace it
The shop screwed it up.
I had one injector go out in my truck. The shop I was in said one was $1600, I found them on Google for $450. They refused to install aftermarket parts, shops and there scams
Problem is when you order in line and it’s a dud it’s the shop that eats the costs, not google.
@@scottberry5266 the one the shop orders could be a dud as well. All you do is call the company you bought them from. Most will overnight another part, the shop will have to seen the bad part back but they will charge you for this anyway.
@@Thetruthalwayshurts : yup you are correct, but I’d rather buy a dud from someone I know than someone in Taiwan. At least the place you know you have a better chance of rectifying the problem right there. I don’t do repair shops that work out of the barn behind the house anymore either. Took me a while to find a reputable shop to deal with. They aren’t cheap but you get what you pay for.
@@scottberry5266 I think is shady when a dealership is willing to sell you a reman part for $1200 more then what you can get a brand new for. Just because they know your stuck and away from home. It’s a scam most shop will pull unless like you say, you find a shop. But most OTR driver are at the mercy of whatever is close by and doesn’t have a month out wait.
If the clutch has a wear indicator, I believe the solo is the only clutch with a indicator and it’s self adjusting. If you felt it needed adjusting and it is a solo? It actually does need a clutch.
Some solo clutches get stuck from clutch dust. They can be reset to see if it starts self adjusting or if indeed it is wore slap out. You can always do the slip test. Right heel on the brake, right toe on the accelerator wide azz open, high gear, let the clutch out slowly. If the engine stalls, clutch still good.
Let me take a shot at this situation. You are missing a mud flap on the drivers side of the truck, the same side that the clutch pedal is on, you with me so far? The mud flap was there and the clutch worked, you still with me? No mud flap, no clutch…. The mud flap covers the tires that are attached to the axle that is attached to the drive line that goes up through the transmission that is attached to the clutch, you still with me on this? The mud flap missing is allowing too much air to pass through the gap between the tires, no back pressure, nothing for the clutch resist against, you still with me? I saw the same thing back about 40 years ago, very rare set of circumstances, yea my brother in-law let his sisters husband work on it and it was never right again, sold the truck and never looked back. I think SWIFT bought it and they use it every day.
Just a little humor to make your day a little lighter, stay safe and keep smiling, you will survive.
Only time to make out a invoice. A lot of shops like that out there
Do they offer flip flops for those trucks who love the feeling of fresh air and cool water on their toes 🤣
Happened to us. We spent 21k at Freightliner. Picked up the truck and it broke down 78mi down the road. Freightliner told us that we could have it repaired at any Freightliner in the country. They wouldn't honor their repairs. Now it's a 30k repair and truck has been salvaged. Repair shops are full of it!!! Check us out roxzo trucking llc
Fun with trucks. Once upon a time, I'm waiting to get loaded with frozen orange juice in Tampa , when I get the call to back in to load ,I start the truck push in the clutch and it goes Pop Snap and the clutch pedal is laying on the floor of the truck. OK so the truck would start and drive in gear , so I loaded up 44.000 lbs of OJ delivered in Toledo then drove to Traverse city in NW Michigan with the clutch pedal on the floor the whole way just short of 1500 miles .When I get to the boss's house he has another driver waiting to take the truck on another run , What do you mean it's got no clutch ? You drove here ! I and the other driver both quit on the spot . It was over 2 months before that truck moved from where I left it .
I hope things turn around for you soon, as you've seem to have been cursed with much more then your share of hassle, and expenses. You shouldn't have to return the old starlink unless it was sent gratis solely as a replacement for a defective one. And just curious, but why do you have what appears to be a phone, face up, attached to the side of your chimney.?
I only had driven a rig with a self adjuster clutch once & it sucked balls... They replaced it with a 2100 clutch & they hardly had to work on it for almost 300,000 miles
I know the exact Nextran dealer in Macon, Ga that you are referring too..
My younger brother is a Timber dealer.. bought a couple Mack CHU 613 Pinnacle series from them..
They certainly sell you on this 500k mile warranty.. then its "oh, thats not covered".. brother had one over there a couple years ago.. i went to pick it up after a month.. made it back to I-75 before having to turn around and take it back..
Havent had anything to do with them since
The first generation of solo clutches were horrible due to the fact that clutch dust drops down in the adjusters teeth inside the clutch and acts as sandpaper and the problem with those clutches are nine out of 10 times when you go to adjust them which means you have to press down the clutch pedal and fully reset the clutch with the teeth all gummed up that clutch when it tries to reset gets stuck and then you have to replace the clutch because it will not reset itself what we would do is if it was under warranty we’ve replace it with a solo if it was a customer we would replace it with the old style manual adjust clutch
Most shops up charge you on other things if you bring your own part/parts
Hope it works out cheap. I took my tractor into shop for some electrical gremlins. On drop off. “Your batteries are not good enough to test”. (Always started for me) $300 each. I had $150 each for them 5 miles away corporate account. “I will swap them, you were not going to work till tomorrow”. I left tractor. They drove it in shop. “You can’t work on batteries in our shop. Insurance” $200 hr to install batteries. PLUS they lost my perfectly useable batteries. (I got junk core for deposit) $4500 later I drove it 17 miles. DRT. While it had gremlins it functioned fine. More repairs plus 50% service call charge…
Kinda fun watching you steal your truck back.
1.1 million and some change on a solo. With that said when they stop adjusting they are done for quick.
Dude get a lawyer and sue their socks off. That's the only thing they understand. This makes my head hurt.
I’m not a truck driver So this may seem like a dumb question. Can you get written up for driving that truck without a Mudflap?
Yes you can,if you don't have a trilei
If that is nextran in macon ga they did a great job for me and was under budget I have a volvo though
Mp motor , not a purebred bull dog , nothing but trouble, guit the oil field because the mack with the mp motor was broke down all the time , hard to find a competent mechanic to work on the mp motor, good luck 👍
