Haters are gonna hate ,real truck drivers are rooting for you to succeed in this down market. Good luck, Robert, Lita.
Has nothing to do with hate. He brings most of this stuff on himself because he is a backyard mechanic. I had a family line that drove over the road and NONE had as many issues as he has had. Things are going to happen but when they happen this much the problem is him.
Sound like this guy is one of those people who buy new cause they can’t work on there on stuff. Not can the person type correctly
@user-jg1fs2sj2p why do you subscribe to his channel just to kick him when he's down I've been driving a truck since 1986 I still make mistakes that I learn from .say what you want to but the dude is a fighter he doesn't give up and I admire his attitude to succeed.
@@user-jg1fs2sj2p i wouldn't say that. I'm kind of in the same boat. I farm and I'm on my own no one to call or help ever since I was 18. I had old beat up equipment I had to fix. Ended up getting newer and some brand new and still had 100x more problems than anyone else and I actually did tons of maintenance. I watched guys neglect stuff and have 0 problems. It comes down to luck. Sometimes I would work 24 hour days with breakdowns just to get hay in. All while watching other people that neglect equipment have smooth sailing with 5 other people helping them do the same thing Im doing by myself. But you wouldn't know anything about that life.
@@user-jg1fs2sj2pHe's worth his Wight in gold he trys his best and don't give up and he's Knowledgeable And as patience I think he's like old school these drivers today just get on the phone my day use to change turbos at side of road wheels in all weather's proper truckers.
You are damn lucky to have a partner like Lita that helps as much as she does. Count yourself lucky.
You are an absolute warrior. Next time things go south - and they will, don't think of the negative losers, think about all the viewers, the majority of viewers who are rooting for you and Lita. God Speed John Glenn.
Don't worry about the haters. You guys are out there getting it done. That's more than can be said for a lot of people.
This shit is riveting. I can't believe how many times you've pulled victory out of the jaws of defeat. Bravo!!!
Congratulations Robert & Lita! A great team. You are not alone. We are all sending prayers and positive vibes! Finding that metal replacement part no accident. God helping. Count blessings. Not cold of winter, pouring rain, dark at night, stuck on side of road. All needs met with food, shelter, parts. Sending you two and pups some "Thanks". Please keep us posted.
Don't worry about the haters- you have us that love you both!
I am really proud of your efforts, Robert and Lita! The two of you do an amazing job with everything you work on. Ignore the haters, Brother. The vast majority of us stand behind you all the way!
The drivers doing the talking are the ones sitting at dealers all across the country for weeks for repairs.. kudos to you man. Keep it up..
Hope everything gets better because I don't want you to have to give up trucking I'll miss your videos.
I’m a mechanic and you wouldn’t believe how many parts are bad right out of the box these days. It’s really crazy. I wish you guys well! Keep your heads up!
Robert, if nothing else ever goes right,you got it right with Lita. She stands with you not by you. Haters probably hate they don't have a Lita. Good luck man.
Fact!
What ABSOLUTE courageous tenacity shown by both of you!! Robert, your "Never Quit" spirit and Lita's support to always pitch in do whatever is such a perfect example of the TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT that brought success to this nation. Thank you for practicing what you preach or "Walking Your Talk". It's never what happens to a trucker but how they deal with it and keep on that makes the difference. Thanks so much to BOTH of you!! 👍💯
No matter what people say or how many times that truck breaks down you have Lita and she is sharing this journey with you. You are a very wealthy man!!!!
I love your channel. I hate that you're going through that. With your truck, it breaks my heart. Whatever you do robert and Lida People have to respect and I will respect god bless you
Keep on doing what you’re doing you’re really learning your truck ignore the haters love the channel
To hell with the haters man. I think you should be commended for your diligence & perseverance. You and lita keep kicking no matter what, & that’s what trucking use to be, you didn’t just rollover you rolled with the punches. Wherever this journey takes y’all, I have no doubt you’ll always land feet first 🇺🇸 not gonna lie we are due for a good freak out tho 😂
I'm very impressed with how you keep working at figuring what's up with your truck. Hats off to you and your hard work. Keep on trucking Mack Man.
what markadams said robert, you got drive brother. i have no doubt you will work it out. thanks for the vid.
You have a wonderful lady with you. Great job Robert.
Dude your more than just a driver you know your rig inside and out most operators cannot say or do what you have done to keep wheels moving. And you have an awesome lady that jumps right in and stays positive thru the breakdowns that’s awesome.
Robert, everything you said is 100% true. I know that truck like the back of my hand and you are doing everything correctly. You got screwed on the injectors, screwed on defective parts, screwed on loads, screwed on pay, and all you have done is keep on working through it. No one can tell you anything you do not already know. If Man can make it Man can fix it. BTDT.
It seems he gets screwed a lot. You ever thought he is the problem? The hardest thing to admit ourselves is that we are the problem.
You two are a wonderful team. My prayers go out to you guys. I been watching for a long time. Hang in there as they say Get er done. God Bless you both !!!
Good job on fixing the truck. Good mechanics are hard to find anymore. Most of them are parts changers.a quick fix for an o ring is super glue and a larger O ring glue the right fit together. Works every time
Robert and Lita I pray this fixes your problems God bless you that's what professional drivers do they help each other
You guys are doing it right. Keep plugging. Y’all support each other and that’s awesome. Screw the Monday morning drivers. Some day these times will be memories that you and Lita will talk about. Videos are well done, and very entertaining. Your not afraid to be honest and make mistakes that’s very refreshing. Good luck and stay safe.
Good fix. Last thing you need now is a brand new truck with a big payment. This is how you learn. Free education. It’s all you. I will suggest get a big ass tool box and load it up.
I feel terrible what you're going through i like your enthusiasm and sense of humor you're a hard working man guys be safe out there
My hats off to you guys. Perseverance pays off. Most would have gave up.
Great positivity under such unfortunate breakdown! I applaud your ability to keep cool head and find and fix the the truck!
Kept the faith you two are a team of one that's all you need. I am proud of your work attitude and self reliance, don't stop.
I use to complain a little bit over nothing really. But after following you guys for a while, I'LL NEVER COMPLAIN AGAIN!!
They create their own problems.
@@user-jg1fs2sj2p- Really? Kindly crawl back to your hole...and stay there.
Any trucker that has been doing it for any length of time, knows that if it can go bad, it will... It's part of the job. No matter what you have, or what you prepare for, it will go wrong. It's only a matter of time. The only way it isn't your problem, is if you are a company driver. It's still a pain in the butt. Great job getting it running again!
I think you working and keeping that truck running is absolutely amazing! I could not do that! I couldn't do 10% of what you do. I've been driving for 25yrs mostly local farm stuff.
The truck would run better if he didn’t try to do everything himself. That’s the reason they have so many issues.
Says who?
Im always rooting for you to get this truck fixed... i hate seeing someone struggle.. but your determination and persistance is so inspiring...hope you fix it brotha im here cheering you on...
Don’t worry about brother you’ve done a great job and ive been driving for 34yrs so I know most drivers would have quit long ago keep your head up and tell your co-driver she also does a great job keep rolling and stay safe
Robert: Like many of your viewers, I follow a couple of mechanics, and one of their continual sarcasms is:"Just cause it's new, don't mean it's good!"
You are the proof.
Good luck and stay safe.
thank god its running
Hope things will get better for you bud …
You guys are the most patient people I’ve ever seen, you’re amazing people, i think you should be in the Peanuts cartoon strip,not pig pen ,the kid with the floating black cloud over his head, stay real good luck.
Robert, you have great composure. Keep it together
I'm 4 or 5 hours away from this location. I'm retired and would have been happy to help.
I understand why these videos are delayed.
Good luck to ya'll.
I'll tell you one thing brother you're a lot more patient than i am back in the day you're the head 20 guys helping you there nowadays they don't care about nothing carry on i think you're doing an awesome job
Man O man, you have just about fixed everything. Good to see it running again, good luck getting home!
I was fist pumping and cheering out loud when you found that old part was still in your tool box!
Sounds like an adult entertainment video 🫣
Your resilience and determination are to be commended
I love the fact that these couple does not give up, what's even more admirable is that they don't bitch and complain, they just get to it.
I have been in situations like that many times, and finally learned to be patient, and fix a lot on my own to avoid paying so much in mechanics.
You guys are doing awesome… keep it rolling at all costs ….
Thanks!
Yooo thanks Dwight!
The 2 of you make a great team.
Robert you ain’t got no luck . Except when you found Lita you got very lucky. Good luck with the truck🤓👍
Screw the haters.... watching this video made my day.
First.
I know it can be really frustrating trying to fix something when you can't lay your hands on the tools you need.
Haven't watched the whole video yet.
The couch quarterbacks will always bitch and complain.
When I go to do a job, the wife asks how long will I be? Don't know. It could be a few minutes to a few days. Each situation is different.
When you're working at it - like you said- your mind is running wild with what to do next or did I miss something.
You got this Robert. You and Lita and the fur babies stay safe and keep on trucking!!
All power to you and Litta Rob. Don't be concerned with the haters. You keep doing you. You guys work hard for your money. You guys rock. Much love from Tony in South Africa.
I'm always pulling for you guys
I’ve actually never rooted more for success, you have the tenacity to figure this out
In the toolbox! Made me smile
I am glad you can work on your own truck. I enjoy how you make video.
Nice job sticking with it
Wish you the best Rob, always learning from you. Keep it up. Haters are going to hate. Real impress all skills you have keep it up
For better or worse, we all make decisions and then live by them. Eff what anyone else thinks! Tomorrow morning I will be picking up my truck. Rebuilt transmission, new clutch, rear main seal, U-joint, power divider kit... that's what I get for buying a truck with nearly 1M miles on it... I was expecting to do this and hoping it didn't happen 1100 miles from home. I ran that transmission with it jumping out of 3rd/7th gear for 8500 miles but I know the truck is running great otherwise. Hoping your fuel problems will be resolved when you get the correct "O"-ring installed!
Screw the haters Bro, Don't even stress that shit I give you and Lita all the credit in the world for hanging in there and shit your starting to know that engine well and will not even consider finding a shop to work on your truck anymore you can do it yourself self taught mechanic skills of hard Knox Bro, yeah when your in a jam like that you have no choice but to figure it out and I think you 2 Done 1 hell of a job at that.
I had a mack years ago and was a headache, finally got rid of it, now I have a truck with a 14 litter detroit, I can do much more on a detroit on my own than a mack.
Dude you and Lita are the best keep up the hard work like the way when the chips are down you two just keep fighting dint give up only the strong will survive and you 2 are strong
I really enjoy your videos. Don't let the haters get to you.
I thank your a road warrior I would have gave up a long time ago
I do city deliveries. Nothing like you two are doing but I am rooting for you. Just remember you have a higher power looking out for you. Someone told you to store the coupling for the pump in the truck for later use and you looked for it. Keep looking ahead and stay safe. Greetings from Springfield Missouri.
Prayers for you and Lita 🙏 safe travels
Glad to see more content
Life is not easy but please don’t give up guys your videos are great
Man I would be crazy by now hope you make it back home I'm pulling for you.
As a viewer I want you to succeed so I get a bit upset if I see you struggle so ignore some of the shitty comments. I get so pulled into your world that i just wanted to scream with you, I apologize for all the haters out there, this is your life, you do what is best for you.
We love you guys 👍
Hope ya got it fixed.
It sucks having ongoing issues .
Robert, you and Lita will figure it out. You talk about your bad luck a lot, and you do have a lot. But, You had some awesome good luck when you found Lita. She is so helpful to you. Good luck to you both.
Glad you got it running. Fuel systems can be a real bitch to trouble shoot. Good luck with the rest of your trip.
Love all your videos you’re amazing driver you have so much knowledge
My Toyota gasket kit was missing several orings I needed when doing the head gasket. What saved me was having a ton of extra orings from different AC jobs I've done over the years, had a few bags full of different size and thicknesses. Sucks when such a small thing can shut you down. Damn good thing you had that spare metal part you broke.
we love y'all,,you are one determined little man,,and your better half is an angel..
Ignore the haters. I would do the same thing that you are doing. I have a older truck and will just fix things as needed. If you borrow money, to buy a new one, then you are just working to pay the bank instead of yourself. You still have the risk of being broke down with a different truck. better to be broke down with no truck payment than being broke down and still having to pay for repairs and pay the payment to the bank. Keep running the paid for truck until you have enough cash on hand to purchase a different truck. Looking forward to the next video.
Congrats on the new truck 👍
I’d shy away from harbor freight multipack rings…
Well damn Robert! The haters are those who hate to see others succeed where they have failed or accomplished something they never could. Just remember that next time something goes south
When’s the universe going to tell you how to fix your truck?? Lita and you are determined to succeed! And remember “every problem is an opportunity in disguise “
U know where the problem is at sucking air so u got it in new you would do it u guys are a good team nice job my friends. If I had the money i would come help u dial ur truck in stay strong u will get there don't stress keep the blood pressure down bro....god bless ur there.
Hang in there... These difficult times are only temporary. Believe me difficulties develop character. Youth of you are thoughtful people and will succeed.
Keep your chin up man you’re doing an amazing job to hell with what people say keep um coming and keep on trucking 🚛
Robert I think you would make a great Mack mechanic. You always get it fixed. Stay strong.
If he always got it fixed there would not be the amount of problems he has.
@@user-jg1fs2sj2pbuddy he can't help the parts that he buys brand new are junk from the get go! So just sit down and watch!
Glad 2 see u got the trũck running,, hope it stays running for you,,
If u didnt av bad luk,, u wud av no luck,, good.luck,, stay safe
Great job Robert and Lita. great that you made it work.
I hope Robert you succeed I like your videos your as real as it gets.I’ve been trucking 20 years your doing a great job keep it up.
Good work. Most would have called a mobil mechanic. Keep faith in yourselves
Man you have way more patience than me! I would have exploded 20 times by now. I wish you good luck and smooth drivin from now on. God Bless
You tenacity is inspiring....keep at it and you will be successful. I told you in the earlier video that it would be something simple.
When it rains it pours,good luck to you both!
Rob I know it sucks. But do not give the haters 15 minutes of fame. I hope you guys can make it to the Mack dealership.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dude, stay strong
It’s scary when shit breaks, glad you worked through it
Great job figuring it out and fixing it. Can't wait for the next video.
Great job with the parking lot fix! I wasn’t hating but I did wave back. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. Thanks for posting
Must give u the credit for preserving. Don't ever give up, u have the support of all on this channel.
U have come a long way and just continue. U will overcome this little issues soon. Love u and Ritas confidential.
I had to make a wheel hub out of a used potato salad bowl I found on the ground at the truck stop one time. You do what you gotta do to get to where you need to be to fix it right. Hang in there !
