Ungrateful
I know the YouTube channel you’re talking about. Watch it all the time. I watch it regularly due to the fact that he’s about the only honest mechanic I’ve seen on YouTube. He’s a well rounded guy. Great skills. Honest. Thorough. So what if he’s better at AG equipment. Maybe he branched out on... -

Working on any equipment with an ecm
Just do what the “good” mechanics do, make it sound good. If you woulda told us “I had a bad ECM and a torn boot” we never would have know the difference. At least guys like us can admit when we f**k up. That’s what really matters. Guy at work couple weeks ago, working on a 6.7 Ford with a... -

Kenworth got their new engineers out on the road
OP smells fishy to me too... but whatever I like what Grandpa said. Have those book smart, common-sense-stupid engineers work in a shop on these things for a year or two. S*** is way too complicated. We have to be software engineers to work on anything anymore. What used to be a simple repair... -

Lets see your "ultimate" service truck!
Nice rig diggindirt. I am really liking the wide tool cabinet behind the drivers door. Really nice how there's 2 banks of drawers with the shelf on top. I looked up STI crane bodies after seeing yours, nice stuff. How come you had to get new tools with the truck? Just showing off? -

1996 Pete 379 N14 Engine Brake
Thanks truck shop, I wish all my questions could be answered with one word.... ok so in case anyone gives a s*** or not, here's what happened with the inop engine brake. Before I started troubleshooting this thing, the owner went down to the local Peterbilt dealership parts department for a... -

77 Kenworth lighting
Thank you... yea I can't imagine a schematic from the 70's being very easy to read and/or navigate.... RZucker, is there a ground post behind the dash? Or are they all over? -

77 Kenworth lighting
Fellas, Hoping someone has some wiring info for a 77 KW I'm working on. Been sitting 10 years. Owner trying to get it going for some short term work. It's having issues with pretty much all of the lighting circuits. Different circuits are doing different things... it's got all kinds of splices... -

Lets see your "ultimate" service truck!
That new rig looks sweet. Kind of a different configuration of the service body layout. What are you going to use the space between the crane tower and forward driverside compartments? -

Loss of talent
Junkyard, yea I'm not that worried, because my wife and I will be very involved and will give a s*** about raising decent kids. I'm not all doom and gloom, I swear. We still live in a place that gives us a fighting chance to live a pretty damn good life.... compared to other places. I think a... -

Loss of talent
Ohhh boy I love this topic. Just read all the posts. Look guys, I'm 28. I must have grown up in the wrong decade, or millennium, because I agree with all that I've read here. Here's my take. As mentioned before, there wasn't a damn wink of education or guidance on budgeting or financial smarts... -

Lets see your "ultimate" service truck!
I stopped by a local scale shop to pickup some portable truck scales and saw something cool. So I hope these guys don't mind me posting a pic of their rig, but thought you guys might like to see this. Super clean 359 or 379 Pete (you guys might know just looking at it) with a crane body on it. I... -

Love seeing the truck and how you have it laid out. 6x6 10 speed with a straight pipe and a crane body.... "jealous" wouldn't even be the right word. Keep it coming! -

1996 Pete 379 N14 Engine Brake
yup, sure as s***.... gave you the wrong VIN. 397434 is correct last 6.... apologize about that. Guess the new year gave me dyslexia. This guy is anxious to get his eng brake working. He has this rig, a 96 Pete with reliance transfer setup... and he also has a 70's Kenworth with the same... -

1996 Pete 379 N14 Engine Brake
Last 6 of VIN are 397343... I had Insite hooked up to it while I was troubleshooting a faulty intake air pressure sensor, and looked at the few parameters that are visible with J1708 and it's recognizing engine brake switch functioning on and off in the cab, idle validation ok. It's sidework so...
