Kansas city Mo Here just keep working your so close, I'm a ASE Master Mechanic . F*** a new truck you've got that one ready to rock and roll SIR
The fact that even though you are faced with many difficulties, you keep persevering, it's encouraging me to not throw in the towel either. Keep it going! I also bought an Ancel just now using your codes, Thanks!
Truck is acting up because you never wash it and keep rims and such clean ….a clean rig is a happy rig 👊☝️💪🤣
WD-40??? You should have used brake cleaner or electrical cleaner. The silicone will not seal with wd-40.
@radtrukz
it's not wd40. It's wd40 brand name contact cleaner. Big difference.
Funny but true. He has no pride or self respect for anything he does or owns. Everything is crap, it’s run down and dirty. Look at his appearance, says it all. So typical of people like this, it’s everyone else fault and everything is crap.
Ok bro just reach out to Tim gentry he knows what he is doing it doesn't hurt to ask so don't give up get the rental delivery your load and send Tim a message and put that truck on the deck and take it to him instead of just throwing money into and get it diagnosed properly so your not wasting your money
Hope you get it figured out bro. We rooting for you and the fam.
Don't give up Bro you know what you have done and the same issue comes back, so that means you have not got to the problem. Keep the videos coming, keep you head up!!
I think your spot on with the harness. Oil gets into those connectors and cause multiple issues and the insulation on the wiring being gone is a good sign that that harness is done for.
Tim Gentry has a couple of nice used trucks for sale just a thought
Unplug injectors 4 to 6 one by one and start truck, if truck runs better with one of those unplugged, it is short in the unplugged injector. Just a quick test to do before replacing harness
A dump truck being dragged by a dump truck 🤩👍🇺🇸
Just treat every breakdown as a vacation. Get loads that go to nice locations so Lita and the dogs can relax while you fix the truck.
Eliminate the harness, put new, go from there,a good diagnosis is what you need, not the parts cannon. Love the content just the same and good luck getting wheels rolling😢, open a truck shop and hire good people and pay them well and you'll get rich.😊 east coast Canada 🇨🇦 NB province here.
it is 100 percent your harness. you are having so many ghost issues it makes so much sense
man!!!! Robert put that truck in a good shop. This is becoming a nightmare man , i really would love to see you guys succeed its happing weekly. Your making your self crazy.
He has had it in several shops and they have all kinda screwed him and never really fixed what it was even in there for.
@@warrenmichael918 finding the right shop is key man. You have to network ,in trucking thats key!!!!!
Get it to Ky, I have a buddy that owns a WELL known diesel shop. I will guarantee you that he will fix it and it will be right!
@@robertschulz5293 thats all it takes
@@robertschulz5293 Every tom, dick and harry in the comments has or knows a "good mechanic" Unless he breaks down near them that does him no good.
I would try and disconnect that inverter and see if its causing some kind of electrical serge and the computer not knowing what to do with it. Also check that wire on the apu alternator. the last time it was giving the same codes it was that wire on the apu. I'm thinking your electrical problem isn't where you think it is.
Just came back thru there an hour ago too. Wishing the best for you guys. Let me know if I can help out in any way brother!
Penske calls back and beats the other quote by 2cents. I would have told him to f**k off and don’t waste my time. I guess they know the truckers IQ. 😂
You can fix it bro....no new truck you can repair the mack just do it and go on....stay strong bro its a tuff world it will work out ...keep the stress down blood pressure relax the body god bless guys will pray ....
I like your logic Robert. Do whats best for you and the situation and worry about nothing else.
Decades ago the big carriers discovered at 5 years, a tractor begins to cost them more $$ in maintenance & repair than the monthly payment on a new tractor. SO, that has been their yardstick for the last few decades- 5 years & dump it.
!
You get it! Big companies survive because they understand cost benefit analysis. This truck has given more than it had to give. Either invest in a new one, or work for someone else. I'm afraid this small business is going to fail unless they're able to accept the responsibility of a more reliable rig.
Robert you have just found your new calling a Mack mechanic! 😁
It seems if you rent and run you'll still have all the costs to replace harness. My vote: stay in place, relax a bit , replace harness and make APU completely separate from.engine electrical system....don't worry about snow plow....it ain't snowin' yet
Agreed!! I believe the APU is causing the trouble.
This sounds like great advice
Get aquainted with Tim Gentry, Gentry and Sons Trucking, Sweetwater, TN. They have a couple Macks like yours. They do work on trucks other than their own. They also just bought a heavy wrecker with an under-reach.
Good idea
That's what I keep saying Tim has a video where he replaced the injectors and cups in one of those Macks he could help out on this one for sure.
Tim's new shop is in Madisonville TN
@@idasedin4626 you're correct !
Keep the episodes coming ,keep them coming. God bless you guys
Don't feel bad Robert... I'm in the same predicament as you. My truck is running great with 1.2 million miles on it, but I'm torn if I want to invest more money into it or buy another truck, but I don't want to be making payments
I think I'll just keep fixing my truck to avoid payments 😢
What year is your truck? What make? Those two things are the difference. This truck won't make it to 1.2 million.
@@JC-uq5gi I have a 2010 Cascadia with a Detroit DD15
Sorry for your troubles. Hope it all works out. Don't quit, keep going. Your success might be just past this problem(hill). Like your content and would hate to see you gone. Much love from Tony in South Africa.
Dam BRO get over that truck already
On the next episode of South Georgia hotshot Robert sells his truck
If you're still stuck, reach out to me before I set off on another trip and we can work something out. Dixie Mae has my number. I can deadhead up there and pull your trailer or towbar your truck home. Will be starting a 34 Sunday night and will be looking to book loads for Tuesday. Really hoping you are back running though!
This guys videos run weeks behind.
@@mocpehusrainey4961 I'm well aware of that... I was in touch with Robert while he was filming this... between the sorry rates and his bad luck, he is actually not very far behind. The last video I posted of a load was about 10 months after I ran that load. We get busy sometimes!
😂😂😂 This broke truck makes you more money then guys with a great running truck! Stop the Bs you need that broke truck to keep content coming 😂😂😂😂😂
Don't get rid of your truck. I have a 94 Volvo. If you get rid of your truck, I won't be able to watch to learn how not to fix mine..... I will end up making the same mistakes you are...that is, if I don't get to see you make them first.... It really does save me a bunch of time. I just ask myself "What would Robert do?" Then I look for a video, and see if it did the job....
the people on the just trucking channel had the same issue. He had lights coming on and warnings popping up. He had to replace his harness on his x15 cummins.
The oil contamination will travel the length of the wire all the way to the ECM (brain box), so you might want to check the ECM connection for contamination too. The oil will have metal wear particles in it and some contain graphite, both are conductive. There should be a bulletin from MAC on this type of problem, maybe you can check with them on that?
Get the rental truck and get rid of the one you're carrying, then it's just you, Lita and your truck to consider with no additional worries. You'll be in a better position to make a proper decision. Maybe carrying your own truck home with the rental could be a option?
Man, this is an under-rated comment. ☝️. Clean the deck, take a breath, and think things through. 💯
This is the best advice.
Your resilience is just on another level, you will figure it out no doubt just as you have on previous breakdowns. Love the channel, #Respect. Watching from NAIROBI KENYA.
Robert I had a 2006 Freightliner Century and I know you have a different model like the Mack but I took a heavy container from Tampa to Atlanta GA and coming back through Ocala FL, I had no acceleration, It turned out to be the accelerator cable that connects behind it. If your model has that cable, check the connector or replace. It's worth a try. Hoping for the best for both of you.
ROBERT I HEAR U BUT U GOT TO KEEP PUSH DONT GIVE UP BUDDY I FEEL YOUR PAIN THING HAPPENED ALL THE TIME I AM HAVING TO STARTED OVER AGAIN BECAUSE SOMEBODY STOLEN MY CAR .......KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BUDDY FROM HOUSTON TEXAS
hi stick with what you got far cheaper to repair than buy a truck if the rates are crap if you think you are going to leave trucking no point in putting yourself in debt best of luck to you both love the videos
Damn Robert, if I ever win the lottery, u on the top of my list to get a new truck, with truck down they bring u another one ASAP. I don't scribe, but still watch, u & Lita are hard workers.
I believe you are answering your questions yourself. Having the freedom to throw the money at the truck at will when it break down its not the same as having a payment. Especially if you think you may quit at any moment.
Good luck.
Take your truck to Tim Gentry just watched him fix both his Mack trucks
Yeah, Tim Gentry has a service truck just to help stranded drivers. Tim is located in Tennessee though......
@@markhobby7481yeah but this gentleman doesn’t want to pay you know he knows who Tim’s is he sees out comments he sees us as hating not helping him but he won’t listen I feel bad for his ol lady this guy snorts in every video like he has been blowing lines every night
@@movingearth3726 That's too bad!
@@movingearth3726yet here you are, still watching him lol
My friend I had a similar situation on a lower level my f150 transmission started slipping I paid to rebuild it and 2 months later the rear end started grinding had to replace it 3 months after that the motor started knocking it was frustrating and I don't know what to do at the end I remembered what the good book says " the borrower is slave to the lender " I choose not to borrow for a new truck I spent 18 k fixing my old f150 now with 500k miles and saving for a better truck , I do get truck allowance so I have already recover my 18 k. don't give up this type of challenges in life make us better people.
I'm really sorry y'all, you're what makes America go! Please don't give up, you and Lita keep your chins up. As for a truck, 💯 agree, you know your Junk you don't know somebody else's Junk, no disrespect to you or your truck honestly, but y'all are salt of the earth folk I think you get it.
Had to do an edit, them are some s x y legs ya got there Robert cowgirling the engine, i cant believe Lita is able to contain herself!!!!!!
get the harness 1600 is still cheaper than another used or new truck, i have been where you are at and understand, wish you guys the best.
Robert in my opinion you would be better off fixing your Mack Because you have just about rebuilt and replaced everything on it. You know what in you got in your Mack truck. Robert if you buy a another used truck it could be worse shape than what you have and won’t know it until after you done dropped $50,000 on it and then you right back where you are right now with your Mack Truck.
Ok I have been in trucking for 30 yrs all my trucks have needed work to keep them on the road it's part of trucking with older trucks if tge truck is payed off its better than a truck with a big payment u have already done injectors an cups do the harness it another new part just fix it
I would not put another dime in that truck...I have seen this far too often...worn out TRUCKS WILL BANKRUPT YOU!!
Man I got the upmost respect for y'all I would have sold truck have y'all thought about getting in touch with Tim Gentry he is a good guy n will work on the truck
Sometime you can go for months without a problem, its like the world is your oyster, then Bang!! 😮
Try disconnecting your batteries tocut all power to the computer then reconnect after a few minutes, you have nothing to lose.
Y'all are STRONG & "Only The Strong Survive" ! - Momma said there'd be days like this, she just didn't say that they'd come in bunches !!

Keep going, don't buy a new truck. You're getting good at fixing your on stuff, i would fix it and go again. I know you can do it 💪 best of luck to both of you 👍
you must have a bad ground wire or groung to come and go find what wire is ground and run a extra one
ROBERT AND LITA are such hard workers and such nice people...... How come we all don't pull together and donate or gift him $5 bucks a person, some would do more, like myself, so we can help him buy a new tractor! With 33K subscribers, that would be over $150,000.00! Plenty enough to help him get a new tractor for Lita and himself! Let's do it guys! If you set it up Robert, alot of us will donate! You guys deserve it!!! If those perverts on only fans can generate thousands quickly then why can't we do this for our friends as well???
I’m up for it.
It be a great holiday gift
robert u r right,i hope i didnt hurt ur feelings,ouit after 28 yrs of trucking,nobody nos unless they go thur it. get a motelan get rest for 2 days,start again/good luck
Simple thing to do to figure out which way to go would be to add up all the maintenance and repairs you had to do in the year and compare that to new truck payment or leasing like Penske trucks. If you continuously spend that money to repair the Mack then your missing out on paying off a newer truck quickly or leasing a truck with maintenance included.
You have a good point there but you are forgetting that once truck is fixed then maintenance/repair costs should decrease considerably🤔
@@rodkennedy9800 The older and more miles the maintenance keeps going up. They're at the point on this truck that all the accessories have basically reached their end of life,
and will slowly start to need replacing. That's the issue with any used truck, it's why the mega fleets dump their trucks after 500k+ miles.
@@spencers4121 Exactly my point, Robert has replaced many of the accessories etc so that cost should decrease significantly. Don’t forget he is negating labour costs but I take your point.
@@rodkennedy9800 yes those cost never stop we all know that if you have been an owner op. Downtime plus all the repairs adds up and never stops. Have to draw a line somewhere your just going to keep throwing money away
if the truck is not fixed yet , take it to Gentry and Sons
U can fix it I know you can! U have fixed everything else that's broke I wouldn't get rid of the mack just yet unless the engine was done.
Tim give these yuys help
boat anchor time
Hi Robert and Lita
I can buy a cheap ratchet. I cannot buy a cheap set of spark plug wires. Exposed wires cannot be a good thing for anything electric.
I had the same issue happened to me in Salt Lake City a few months ago. It was telling me number four injector was bad and possibly a bad injector harness. My Freightliner has two injector harnesses under the valve cover. Mechanic told me to go ahead and change the harness and see if that fix the problem. But what I opted to do Was change the injector on both harnesses at the same time because I didn’t want to have to go into the motor twice. My truck has been running better ever since. I am a firm believer that the injector harness does go bad overtime with heat cycles and being exposed to the engine oil.
only positive i see is you are not alone you have a loving wife you are not alone.when i drove in 70s and 80s omg it was so lonely.thats before dogs where alowed in truck ect
Well they aren’t married yet
Unhook the AC. ECM, inverter, and any other accessory, CB, etc.. Something is throwing power backward into the system
HI we seemed to have a front end on our truck today maybe not tomorrow GOOD ONE
At 8:31 fliched like she thought he was going to hit her
Damn! Was running so good.
Like when the check engine light on a Chevy pick-up comes on... it never ends.
you are going to get my two cents get factory injectors replace harness and name brand fuel pump or oem
It may need an ecm too if the oil has reached it through the harness
i got that ancel 7hd months ago. it would NEVER communicate with any of the 7 trucks i tried to use it on. they messaged me and said i had to do the feed back to their tech support. i did that. they said it needs an update. mind you, it was brand new. never got any update. then they messaged me and said it needs repaired. never heard another word from that worthless company. i have been trying for 5 months to get a resolution. they never respond to any messages on any of their contact links. worthless. i wouldnt spend a penny on this companies junk. it sucks because i really could use it.
Please shoot me an email Southgeorgiahotshot@hotmail.com I will make sure they fix this
I replaced my turbo actuator when my Cummins would not run loves thought it was a bad fuel filter and water separator truck would not idle no power acted like it wasn't getting fuel ran like crap had it towed into international they found the Turbo actuator to be bad replaced it truck is doing great
I have seen bad Wiring harnesses Allow oil to be sucked all the way up to the computer with the flow of electrons.
Get that thing over to Gentry... or the salvage yard 🍻
Why i sold my truck and trailer. Granted i had 1.2 million miles on a paccar that was running great. Break downs will break u.
Hit the junk yards for parts unitl that mack blows a cylinder. Then get a detroit 60 12.7. Ive seen them for sale at 15k with rebuild papers. Check rear main seals for oil leaks (13 hour job if so). Cylinder and injector cutout test using dddl. Good test results are 90% across all 6 cylinders injectors and your good to roll.
Your absolutely on the right track with oil in the clips. Use Die Electric Grease on this harness and or the new one to keep the oil out.
Man I have 2007 peterbilt 386 with a C15 cat for sale if interested. 10 speed. Zero issues. Well maintained. Runs on Rotella T6. No def or dpf BS. Lemme know.
Go be a Linehaul driver for southeastern freight hiring multiple spots in Georgia. Make over 100k a year with benefits and you don’t have to deal with this!
Why dont you get in touch with
Gentry and Sons Trucking in Sweetwater, Tn. They are working on outside truckers equip and also just bought a wrecker. They have a Channel on the tube, also. The owner is Tim and he has two Macks like yours and is familiar with them. Bill
In my 20 years of trucking. I went through 3 trucks.
64 Autocar
85 KW W900B
96 KW T800
Every time I changed trucks, after a week, I would be screaming to myself, why didn't I do this sooner.
You need to pull each injector connection one at a time to relieve your mind of the one short. Put in the new harness. There is no cash value in a dead truck to sell. I know I'm late to the armchair advice party.
But look at the hurdles you accomplished on the last breakdown. This harness has to be a no-brainer now.
Just do it🙂
We use a mechanic. Stay safe.
you have many u tubers in trucking that are great mechanics. you should reach out for help i love your videos and want to see more.
I feel the same way with my truck 😢
Have you disconnected the harness and used contact cleaner on the connector? Injectors don't go out 3 at a time, so tracing the wires might find your issue. Also you can do a injector cutout test on your device to help narrow down the culprit.
Lita, can you please convince Robert to replace the wiring harness! He seems to be getting a little stressed out, although it’s great content!!! You two are on a mission to succeed!
I agree One more fix bro, the trucknis almost there
Replace the harness Boss. Keep your money in the bank and stay away from payments. These are tough times and you need to stay on top of it!
Hang in like Gungha Dihn! You’ll get it.
Hello Robert and Lita ...
You need to make sure that's what the problem is. No use in continuing to throw money at it.
I gave up and work for the "Man"
Broke down yesterday
Laying on the couch today
It's their problem now
need to get back to the fort replace that harness if that is what you determine it to be. Can't give up now you two have came way to far
Hard luck, brother. Quite the dilemma, but if you buy right, you could break even if you had to dump it fast. Spent a weekend at that Baymont snowed in.
Auction sales are selling trucks of companies going under. Maybe should consider them which might be further ahead if remaining in trucking.
Yes, and that is an excellent place to purchase trucks is from big fleets, were the tractors have been maintained on a schedule. When I used to have my trucking company we bought all of our trucks that way and very rarely had any problems as the trucks were fleet trucks so they were always taken well care of mostly by in house mechanics serviced by PM schedules.
Keep and fix what you have atleast its payed for !
Call the broker get room your stuck till Monday or get your rental and complete your load.
Silicone on those connections on the injector's is not a good idea. Some of the silicone could break away and go down in a port and create some more problems for you, those rubber seals you can buy in a parts place .
Had that same problem before, harness was rubbing on the top of the air compressor. Mack had that problem for a while.
Hang in there Robert
Man Robert I feel for u & Lita. Seems like every time u turn around another problem with the truck. I would of done gave up by now. Glad I drive company owned trucks. Hope u get it figured out. God bless
I like that brand of adhesive!
