You best believe I’ll quit watching any other video when I get the notifications for Weston’s videos
Ryan Willison amen
He puts a ALOT of info/knowledge in a short segment. Keep doing what ur doing Westen!
Practical real world advice. And funny! My favorite diesel channel.
Hell right
I feel this
"We're good, we're good, we're good, we're good, nah it broke. That's how it works." lol
My life in a nutshell.
@@nou8257 OMG I hate that shitty dark cloud, WHY? Does life throw them curve balls that totally ruin you're day?
I came here to write this lol
He is god damn right! It doesn’t matter if it’s an 18 wheeler or a four wheeler! Those emissions systems are killing diesel trucks!
that was me last week...2015 ram 3500 with 130K trouble free miles...not even a belt ... just normal service.....flagged DEF fault started counting down from 150 miles to limp mode and i was 140 miles from home.....2 days and $2800 later that entire systems in the scrap pile....wish id done it when the warranty ran out
This guy is funny. Makes learning shit actually entertaining. Good job man!
Thank you Weston I really appreciate the kindness n thought you put into this video. I break gaskets with your humor in these videos too. Keep it up man!
Clifford is celebrating Christmas early with those dash lights.
@ChipperParrot What do you prefer?
@ChipperParrot i sold my lbz. I did throw 2 wheel bearings due to front wheel sensors were starting to skip at low speeds. It was a good truck, but i got tired of driving a 3/4 ton.
Thanks for the videos and tips!
I owned a 12v Cummins and sold it a few years back... kicking my self now that I’m seeing the prices on some of them nowadays!
Almost every single thing you went through , every issue... I had with my first Cummins truck!
Now thanks to experience and some knowledge I’ll be more vigilant in finding a great running diesel!
I don’t even own a diesel but I love learning and watching your videos sir. I’m a Hemi man myself but love the power and sound diesel create. Very informative video bro! Subscribed
Wow thanks man! This is the most in depth diesel buying guide video I have found. I’m looking for my first diesel now and want to make sure I get a good one. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s nice to see a video that’s hands on and straight to the point. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
I've worked with diesel trucks for about 6 years and i currently work at a semi truck dealership and all we work with are diesel motors. This video is a GREAT reference for anyone out there looking at a used diesel truck. Diesels are awesome! But there's a lot that can go bad on the engines, especially with the newer aftertreatment systems on them. They can be a blessing and a curse. Stay informed and know what you're spending your money on! Awesome tips Westen Champlin!
Thanks man! Its always nice when someone with some expertise thinks it a good video ;)
Great list. Being a complete diesel noob, I never knew about 2/3 of this info. Thanks very much.
One of the best explanations I have ever watched on what to look for when checking a diesel powered vehicle.
Bought My very first 6.7 yesterday and your videos got me excited about a diesel truck awhile back and gave me buying confidence.
Man this information is pure gold! Thank you very much!
You are honestly one of the most knowledgable people on the internet about diesel trucks. These tips were great. Thanks so much.
Kiss ass
Great info. I almost bought a 130K Cummins for my current truck, but a few things just didn't feel quite right, and I don't know that much about diesels. Thanks for the breakdown. Keep up the awesome content!
There should be some pressure in the radiator after running the engine a bit. but like you said, there shouldn't be bubbles or instant high pressure after starting. Take along a pressure tester. connect it to a cold radiator (don't pressurize it) and run the engine and see how fast pressure builds on the gauge.
Gotta say Ive never been a dodge fan . But i do know that Cummins are Good Motors. Had a 1995 7.3 powerstroker hard starting SOB in the winter good ol truck though. Awesome videos cant wait for the Fummins build !!!!!!!!
Another good video, I have been doing this for over 40 years, for your age you have some great knowledge. Thanks. I even have my 86 year old father in law watching you.
Easily the most helpful buying a truck video I have ever seen
Buddy awesome video! Thank you so much. I’m currently looking to buy a diesel truck and this is an awesome tool set to have in mind. 👍🏻
I forwarded this video to my buddy who's looking to buy a Cummings. He asked me about blow by, this summed it up well. Thank you!
Weston, you ARE THE MAN! I enjoy them very much! Your wealth of knowledge is amazing, you should be INSTRUCTING, great job of explaining what is WHAT!
You have an awesome channel and i throughly enjoy all of your content! I can’t believe I’m just now finding it. Keep the videos coming brother!
Actually just about to pull the trigger on a 2nd gen. Tips were helpful. Thanks!
This is the reason why I subscribed to this channel. Best review ever with all the information I wanted on my newish truck.
Really appreciate this video. You don't assume people know anything in particular about these Cummins engines but it isn't condescending. This is what a teaching RUclips video should look like.
I love your channel, Westen. I got worried about your bout from pneumonia. I had that as a kid and an adult. Originally from Texas and ended up here in California as a kid. Dad transferred as a jet mechanic is why.
Been thinking of relocating to Wichita or back to Texas to get away from the nasty people in California. I figured with good, decent, honest folks like you, life may be enjoyable again.
Cheers and thanks for knowledge and good times.
I actually had a good time watching your vids. I spent time working on farms working the lands and drove heavy equipment.
Please watch your health and well.
It's always a good day when I learned something thanks for the video
Thank you! Been around engines for a while now, but you've taught me some things here. Appreciate it!
Thank you sir. I appreciate you taking the time too do this video. It's helped me alot on buying a cummins
For a young man you communicate like a great teacher. Love the comedy 2👍
As a soon to be cummins buyer, this was real useful. Thank you.
Did you ever guy a Cummins?
Sure enjoyed listening to your channel. I have a 98 DODGE RAM 3500 DUALLY. I bought it new and it has 105000 miles on it. I am having a mechanic replace a main seal and clutch 5 speed and install a straight pipe 5 inch exhaust system... The truck is amazing and has never presented me with serious mechanical issues...Love your show and keep on giving us your most valuable information.. Thanks
Love your explanation on a blow by and where the power comes from, really, really funny (100% right)
"It came over on the Mayflower!...." dudeeeeee.....priceless!!
Thanks Man! Tomorrow imma double check and hopefully I buy my 4th! Excited to upload my video!
Hey thanks a lot! I’m buying my Cummins by the end of the year and I’m completely lost/a beginner so I really appreciate this!
Buying my first diesel tomorrow. Thank you for this. Lots of these videos but they never tell me if what I'm looking at is good or bad. Your video breaks it down great. You should do more like this
Hows the diesel
Thanks for filming ~ keepem coming
Well done Westen!! You are a good teacher. Love the beginnings with the dog, love that part of your videos. Love ya lots. Keep up the good work.
GREAT INFORMATION!!! I don't know everything about a Diesel, but I know more now. Good Job Westen! Yu actually got serious and did something really worth doing. Good For you. RS.
Nice video Westen good practical sense. And your so right about EGR crap! Its fine, it's fine , it's broke! So true today and expensive.
I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your vids! Keep up the good work 👍
Can you make a video talking the basics of diesels for people with no knowledge on them. love ur vids
Dude you’re awesome, I’m super happy I found this video/ channel. I’m eyeballing Cummins right now so this has been helpful.
I’ve done this so damn much in the last few weeks. This is a great video!
Nice coverage on used diesel truck motors. All this comes in handy. Kinda like never buy a truck at night. Don’t buy a truck built on Friday’s. And never be afraid to walk away. There other trucks out there
Your forgot never buy a truck off a homeless ladyboy
This is the best diesel inspection vid I've in over 6 months of watching them!!!!
One thing you said about the truck already being "warmed up" hiding an issue, I've talked to a few "salesman" that a ask "which truck do you want to see, I'll have it ready..." red flag!! Great video!!!!!
Thanks for this. I'm planning on hopefully buying a diesel truck soon.
Awesome video man I useto own a cummins 2 years I had it for fully modified for daily driver use etc I trade it in for a hemi 392. For anyone looking to get one it’s a great truck will start in any weather if u show love to it in return it will love ya. Two things I use the turbo whistle and going two weeks or more on a tank.
Sound advice! Learnt alot especially about emissions systems in this video, cheers
Love the videos. Please keep making videos. the more content the better.
PLEASE more of these types of videos!
You make great videos man. Great info and great sense of humor! I hope to buy a Ram Cummins probably used for my next truck so I need to get educated.
Thanks for the solid advice. You're not the only GOT fan here
It came over with the mayflower!!! Oh geeez I almost peed my pants... hahahaha... Awesome Weston!
I always get hyped when you post a video bro!!
Great guide for the amateur like me! I am looking to buy my first diesel and this will help me sort thru potential problems.
Best video ever on diesels brother, thanks
Thank you for that info ill use that when i start looking for me a used truck
This was really useful and informative. There should be a class action lawsuit against the EPA, and oil companies for damage to consumer goods due to emmissions controls. I'm saying fuel companies because they could make much cleaner burning fuel that would not require more than a catalytic converter.
Yeah, no. Oil and fuel companies arent liable. At the end of the day, they produce A product, that you CHOOSE to use. Nobody is forcing you to use Shell premium unleaded, or Diesel... Nor are they ramming oil down your throat. You choose what you run your car on and as such, you are liable for what you put into your car. For instance, if you top up with dirty fuel and it grenades your motor, it's not their fault. Sure, you might feel it's their fault, but nowhere does it state that they are selling you clean fuel. The only time you have even the slightest chance of suing a gas company, is when the product sold to you was not the product you received. What I mean by that, is if you bought and paid for Diesel, they used the diesel hose (important, because you are responsible for them using the right hose) and it dispensed petrol. But even then, you can use the gas station, not the gas company. The only people liable in your hypothetical lawsuit, would be the government. The automotive manufacturers are in the clear too, because government regulation dictates that they must have those emission devices in place and although they have a warranty on their engines for 100k miles, nowhere do they guarantee that every engine will last that long as there are countless factors at play to achieve that. So end of the day, your lawsuit would have no grounds and it would be dismissed in a court of law before you even set foot in the door.
my red ram was named Clifford too. Man I miss that truck
Great video!
Awesome tips for the viewers westin always enjoy the content!
Wish had them type of trucks here Much love from Ireland 🇨🇮
Wrong flag
Great videos I love watching your videos I went back and watched all of them I keep them coming thanks again!!! I would like to get a hat even if I have to order it as be fine
Pretty cool to see really. I’ve never been around diesels. Learned a couple things today.
I enjoy watching all of your videos that I’ve watched. Keep up the cool content. I was actually thinking about buying a diesel here soon for work, so this video was actually very helpful for me being a new diesel buyer. 💪🏼👍🏼
Western Chaplin finally has a Instagram and Facebook page! Now all we’re missing is a Twitter and a Premium Snapchat! 😂 Love the videos brother!
Quite timely as I’m gonna try and look at a Cummins soon!
I must have great timing!
Westen Champlin
I’ll take it as a sign that I need to buy it! 😂
Westen Champlin what song is that in the beginning?? I can’t find it anywhere!
That’s why I’m here. Looking at a 17’ 6.7
@@andylamm8634 We'll Get There By And By - Johannes Hager feat. Noomi Thorstensson (2017)
It is impressive how much you know about this stuff. 🙌
New to Cummins engines and a college educated city slicker. Just want to say that if you think these country boys don’t have their shit together, then you need to go back to school. Thanks for the video, Westin ... great information.
Make sure a diesel truck has matching batteries. If they've been replaced one at a time, use that as a negotiating piece. Bad batteries take out everything around them. Alternator/starter/batteries on a diesel get expensive
@@stuartgergen830 that doesn't make any sense. So you owned the truck, and then "someone" leased it, and THEN "someone" put "car batteries in it"???
Lol, what in the f@wk does that even mean?
As a mechanic for the last 28 years you REALLY bring up a good point!!! Well stated my friend.
Could you please do a video like this on what you looked for when you purchased your corporate jet?
Good to know! I appreciate this video man.
Funny i must be lucky then, i have bought 4 nissan ud diesel trucks n thank goodness i havent had a serious problem with those motors. But you best believe from now on im gonna follow these tips when im looking at diesel trucks.
Keep up the awesome work. You are such an inspiration for me thank you.
GREAT INFO SIR Thank you!!!
Great video!!
Great video! A lot of good information that I will definitely keep in mind!
Love your videos really enjoy watching them keep up the good work.👍
Thanks for the information on trucks
You're gonna get pressure and a small hiss from the coolant system when you remove the cap on a rad or degas bottle after it's been running. You could also burn yourself if it's hot enough and coolant sprays on you when you pop the cap
. He knows a lot to not to notice that little detail right there .
Take off when you first crank it up.
Great advice. I'm new to the channel and loving it so far.
Great video. Appreciate the information. New diesel owner and I ran these tests late.... after already buying the truck... happy it passed lol
Every video that subscriber count jumps. Keep up the great work brother
You gave some good advice it’s very good for a novice. The worst thing for for these modern diesels is using them as grocery getters short hops stop and go not getting them up to running temperature shutting them down etc. that’s what screws up emissions systems and put a hurt on the engine. Diesels are meant to work and drive deleting them is the only way to go, except now the EPA is on to this and the companies making delete kits are being messed with.
You rock Westin! It's a real hoot watching all your videos
great video and very informative! Keep up the great work!
Would you do this type of video for a PowerStroke? Thanks, love the videos
Hey Westen, really appreciate you making this video. I'm getting ready to buy my first diesel truck next year and I'm trying to learn as much as possible before I do so. Is there any chance you could do another one of these videos where you cover what to check as far as transmission, transfer case, differentials, etc... Basically all the drive-line stuff. Also maybe easy signs to tell how hard the truck has been worked. Anyways, Thanks again bud.
Hey I have many tips if you still care i will reply here
im the same boat as you, id imagine you already got one. im searching the entire country for a 3rd or 4th gen cummins so me and my little boy can rock out in our jacked up diesel pick up
@@daMillenialTrucker nice haha, I absolutely loved my brothers old 2013 ram 3500 mega cab dually. We put a 6inch lift and on 37’s Toyo MT’s. All around fox shocks, delete and tune with $2,000 boost programmer. I can show you a picture and videos of the truck if you comment your Instagram or social media.
Definitely very informational. Love watching every video always hilarious and informative
Dylan,
The one thing I really like is very little foul language.
Some guys can't say a sentence without using the F word.
My absolute favorite channel
Awesome video
Great info, thanks
That's a good point about watching the RPMs come back down, when I got my Cummins I didn't know about it it home for a while before it came down real slow and I needed injectors
Kudos! You are a wealth of information, and a pleasure to watch.
😍 Nothing makes me happier than seeing a mastiff pup elephant go bursting through some dense brush in a happy run like the beginning of this video.
😁 I’m a dog person. BTW
I was eyeing that white dodge regular cab in the back ground.
Thank you man! You always teach me something. I seen must of your videos you are the man! And I always share your videos. Respect!
Great informative video. I'm lookin to buy my first diesel. I will for sure use these tips.
