I have watched your RUclips videos for a while now and I have come to the conclusion that your dad is the hardest worker in the business there
Ya I gotta agree with ya bub
Facts
If it wasn't for his dad he'd be lost!!!
I have to agree and the most knowledgeable
I drive the same exact truck and mine was losing coolant and it was the reservoir was cracked
Watching Tim try to figure out how to shift the Volvo is like him trying drive a spacecraft super entertaining.
Let your wife have it.❤❤❤❤
YOUR DAD HAS DEFINITELY WON THE HARDEST WORKING MAN AWARD OF THE YEAR!!! HANDS DOWN. WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR ALL HIS HARD WORK!!!!!
He bought his dad a minty 2005/2006 Duramax a few years back. But you're right he is a damn hard worker.
It burned in the fire
@@launceherron oh my god I didn’t know
@@launceherron damm not good
I love watching Brax just jump in and start checking fluids n what not. Then when he actually moves them around it makes me smile. He's gonna make a hell of a trucker some day!! Probably a hell of a mechanic too! Teach em young!! Rock on!!
My wife retired from OTR trucking 4 years ago and her last truck was a Volvo. Said it was the best truck she ever drove.
Few things about the Volvo. I’m gonna assume you probably just aren’t operating the cruise control correctly. To turn cruise control on it is the top middle button on the left side of the steering wheel, to set the speed, use the dial directly underneath that button and press down, to adjust speed up or down scroll up or scroll down from that dial. I personally haven’t seen the cruise control fail on the Volvos I’ve driven, even with various check engine faults.
Next is the shifting control. Your Volvo just happens to not be equipped with the shift up or shift down buttons as well as the drive mode. The M is for holding a gear. The workaround for not having the shift buttons, is using the engine brake control lever for downshifts. Usually switching from level two to level three will force a downshift. Then pressing down from position three to position B, you can force a maximum downshift for whatever gear is available at that speed.
That engine should hit about 35 pounds of boost, so it definitely sounds like there’s probably a leak, but could also be related to check engine light. In the cluster you could check for all the faults and a generic description. You can also check oil level in the cluster.
Also, that sunroof/moonroof is not all it’s cracked out to be. In the middle of the summer they let in a lot of heat. Also, they seem to have problems with leaking.
All in all, they are generally very reliable trucks, apart from the emissions system obviously lol
To be a Volvo driver you need to have your left foot up on the dash and several gps's on the windshield and phone in your hand
While speeding down a grade
Not true at all that's being done in all trucks.
And speeding up when a truck trying to pass trying to assert some type of dominance
I think Mrs Gentry made an executive decision on the Volvo. I always wanted to drive a big Semi so it’s really cool to see someone drive one that you wouldn’t expect to.🇦🇺
You are an inspiration to a lot of people. Working with your father and your son is a blessing from the Lord. Keep doing what you are doing.
Hey Tim I think you really need to give it to your wife she deserve it
Probably the EGR cooler leaking internally. That truck doesn't have the option to shift while in manual mode, it would have a + and - button. Thats only for holding a gear.
Looks like a nice truck to keep for the wife or for a driver/team. I'm an ole truck driver and I'm like you I would rather drive a 13 speed (or any manual) over a automatic. So glad to see you doing so well, keep up the good work, and take care of your family. I like that you and Brax work with your dad. My dad was a general contractor building mostly residential homes.I started picking up nail at 7 y/o. I worked with him off and on ( got drafted into the Army and went to Vietnam as a combat medic 68-69)Got out of the Army in 70 and went back to work with dad by 75. Until the building market collapsed in the early eighties. I sure had some times and learned alot from my dad. Then a friend of mine taught me how to drive a transfer dump truck and evidentually ended up doing end dumps, refers, flat beds. and doubles. I even got into being a diesel mechanic on the trucks I drove and the other trucks he had when I wasn't on the road. Sorry this is long winded but you bring back so many wonderful memories. God Bless and let Him direct your life and business.
You and Ashley are so compatible when you're together that it almost feels like a warmth I get seeing you two enjoying the company of the other and having a real fun time doing what both of you love.
Westen is gonna be jealous of how close you're to O'Reilly since that seems to be one of his favorite store to dream up crazy builds and fix projects
Great video Tim common coolant leaks on those Volvos are from the upper and lower rad hoses due to loose clamps, water pump, heater hoses, and the plastic lines on the front side of the surge tank are known for leaking
He checked them lol.they wasn't leaking
@@jerrywilcox9890looked like drip marks, but maybe those were from filling.
I betcha that truck would look so good shined up. Can't wait to see it.
I've seen so many small trucking outfits sink because of these new trucks I'd unload it faster than you can swat a fly.
I'd have to go 10-4 on that..... too many variables to work thru on the new trucks when they fail
Your wife now has the best truck in the fleet .
So that explains everything Timmys is in the REPO business
Bro, you don't have to explain yourself on the repo. Everybody gets it, and if they don't, they've never had anything reposed so they don't have any respect for anything. If you've lost everything you owed, you have respect for everything you have........... Keep up the great work, bro.
Tim, you should consider keeping the Volvo. They are a very popular truck here in Australia because of their reliability plus Ashley likes it and would more than likely go back to driving. Great repo job.
That engine was made locally in Hagerstown, MD. B4 covid they would have an annual open house to tour the 1mil Sq ft facility etc
Man Tim! If I wasn't 61 and my wife wasn't a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor, I'd LOVE to move to TN and drive loads for you! You run a tight ship and you're wise beyond your years and I love your family business model! Oh well...Unfortunately retired not by choice, but you do the best with the hand you've been dealt - and you, my friend, have been dealt a winning hand! (Totally understand that it wasn't easy either!).
I have run the deer whistles on my trucks and personal vehicles for years now. They do work !! You should give them a try. The deer will stand still and watch you go by.
Tim I think the Volvo was a nice addition to your fleet keep it for mama let her do some runs for if she wants to
Gotta buy the premium shifter which will mount on the side of the seat but gived you ability to upshift/downshift, and access to drive modes, or you can have the stock shifter flashed to be able to enable modes and manual shifting. As it sits currently, all that M does is lock it into a gear.
Dont need seat shifter for that. That truck was fleet specced to lockout manual shift
All he's gotta do is change the ECM programming. Changing the type of shifter isn't going to do anything
@@joshalex93 i was thinling if he wanted a mpre comfortable way of manually shifting. Ths premiun unit is more "natual" feeling
@@Shennanigans5.0 it's easier to take the dash apart and put those 2 buttons back in..
Good looking truck brother. You're taking the green truck off the road, put the Volvo on the road. As always God Bless you and your family ❤
Thanks for sharing another great video Braxton is growing Everytime we see him. You guys rock!!!!
That is the best-looking truck driver I've ever seen.
Would be a great truck for a young husband and wife team.I say keep it.
I really like the Volvo cabs quality, very solid and quite, the electrical is a good layout, windshields used to be easy to change.
Man I love watching your wife rocking the big rig!!!
don't worry brother what people say !!!!!! we know your good people!!!!! hater's gonna hate !!!! if i don't pay my bills they will pay someone to come and get whatever. if you make an agreement with someone to finance you on anything,and break the agreement,thats on them.
If you want better shift points, you can tune it to get rid of progressive shifting. Progressive shifting will skip gears and shift lower in the rpm band to save on fuel. Theres a performance mode on some of the volvo shifters where it'll wind out the rpm and hit every single gear without skipping.
I'm really happy for you all keep on doing what you are doing keep those wheels rolling and my God bless you and be safe out there
I have 2018 780 volvo. I brought it brand new with 10 speed manual transmissions. I wouldn't trade it for nothing. I got 712k now and still kicking 😎
Safest cab built. Don't put the family in anything else. Keep it stock (until all warranty is expired). Get it to the dealer and let THEM plug up and diagnose (tips from 25+ years at a dealer). Keep up the good work. One last tip: read the owners manual.
Great video. I drove the same model truck for 2yrs. Lower radiator hose clamps caused my only leaks.
Order the other shifter for it with economy mode or power mode it will be a game changer for that truck
That's what I've been hearing
When I was on the road a few months ago, my wife made me enough meals to hold me for the week. I had 2 refrigerators, a microwave, a coffee pot. Took a dozen eggs and made 2 ham & egg sandwiches every morning for breakfast. I NEVER spent more than $20 a week unless I needed supplies
Now we gotta see her drive rooster
You guys have an awesome inventory of trucks. Thank you for keeping America running.
I like watching your RUclips videos. There’s a struggle out here. Bless you and your family. I hope your blessing keep coming your way
Love watching your vedieo with my son I love driving big truck and they like watching them and riding in them God bless and have a great day
I enjoyed watching you sell the idea of keeping the Volvo and the wife being excited about the idea of driving it to get boats and stuff, love the channel and the growth of your family business.
Nice truck Tim glad you got it looks like it would make a dandy
That’s what I call Family Trucking 😎👍🏾
They drive and ride really well also very good a backing
I take it Volvo's are quite a underrated truck in the US, here in Europe they are rated as one of the best trucks on the road..
Looks like a nice truck, good luck with the repairs, I really enjoy your videos.
It’s a great truck Tim love the videos ur an awesome person
Every time I watch marcus king band videos I see Tim Gentry on drums now.😂
And congrats on your new home and shop you and your family deserve it god is good be blessed man.
Check the EGR cooler Quick!!! Before the antifreeze coats the SCR AND DPF FILTER!!!! That in an expensive repair!!!! I had one and it started leaking at less than 50,000.
I watch your RUclips channel quite a bit and I like what you're doing you work with people on repos keep the truck and work the truck
Got your message brother. I'll be out there in about a week I have a few loads to drop off near there then I'll stop by to inquire about your mechanic position and I own my own truck.
Don't think hes hiring atm.
@@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248 how do I get a hold of him for work I own my own truck as well I've tried calling and going through online but never an answer back
Tim... Volvos are good comfortable trucks. I drove one in my expedited days. I loved the ladder to pull out to get into the upper bunk. I hope you decide to keep it. You won't be sorry.
Hi there Tim, Braxton and Family. Great looking truck the Volvo. Great content that your putting out there. Man keep up with what your doing too provide for your family. Hope that you keep the Volvo and be able to put a great Team in it or let the wife get on the road when she wants. But most of all you guys do what's best for your business, your family and for you. God Bless You Gentry Family. 😏👍
Happy wife, Happy life Tim!
Would love to see Ashley doin some drivin think it would be good content for the channel, also now it’s about having the time to do so with looking after the kids and helpin run the business.
You could see when see was drivin the Volvo the look on here face she was enjoyin it, it was great to see.
Great to see the family and business doin so well keep it up. 👌
Great content as always...think that the Volvo is a good addition to the fleet and with your mechanical ability should be able to sort it out really quickly. Like you said it's driver friendly...gotta say amazing job selling the wife on it...I took notes there🤣...but in my opinion a smart savy business move well done.😎🚛🇺🇸🔧🛠️😇🙏
The company I work for in Australia has a 700hp Volvo it walks around most things on the highway dragging a 68t b double behind it
I didn’t know your wife’s got a cdl. That’s awesome!
It's when you're coming to a stop, going wild looking for the clutch pedal, lol
i used to drive a volvo loved it great trucks
Nice ride Tim!! Looking forward to another video about it - curious about the coolant problem.
That was an awesome video I liked that Volvo Hope you all have a blessed night god bless love you all👍🙏❤️
It was cool to see mama gentry driving the rig.go getem mama G.
Yeppers that transmission will flat spole a guy 😮. I'd surely put it to work. My sister drove a Volvo coast to coast for 20 years pulling a refer, with 400 cats in them, an only 3 year old. Full sleepers, for 15 years she never had a house. Very nice 😉. Most drivers would be happy to drive that truck. Thanks 🙏 for sharing.
Been driving an M-drive Mack trans for 6 years now, and they’re bulletproof!! Never had a breakdown or any issues with them. Yes, it’s fun to get back into a stick for a day or two, but on the second day, I’m wishing I had the M-drive back
First thing I would do is get the interior thoroughly cleaned and the cabin filter changed and then look into the seat shifter that volvo have. See if it fits to your truck if you want manual gear selection option. Then go with cruise fix, the coolant and then finally an exterior clean.
Yer dad is the bomb...his knowledge , experience and steady attitude ard JUST RITE..! Hope yer co has good times a comin...yer wife and son like the auto, and you can field some with new drivers...GO..!
I would say keep the “exhaust “ on it. Keep it simple and stock so you don’t have to worry about getting in over your head.
He's not going to get over his head lol.
Dudes a master mechanic. I guess that missed you
We mechanics deal with the "exhaust" everyday. They are horrible systems and suck the money right out of your pocket. Get rid of the "exhaust"
@@joshalex93😂😂
The Volvo looks like a good move to me Tim. And you have the endorsement of the Gentry mum!
Nice color keep update enjoy watching tim
I like it y'all should keep it
I agree with you tim. Most new drivers dont care for the old trucks and rather just be able to get in and go but there are a few of us that don't align with the majority and rather have the older stick shift trucks without all the electrical stuff
If I saw the upper Rad hose dripping, Tim should be able to see it!!
Just getting my CDL within a month my dad who is a trucker well it just runs in the blood an watching your videos inspires me also
momma is in love with the truck
In Florida all you need to do to switch from auto to manual is retake the road test in a manual, no permit, no pre trip, no backing
That’s like the Volvo I haul mail with! They grow on you! 😂 The cruz in on the left hand side of the steering wheel. Top button turns it on and the flippy button in the middle sets it.
Hello it's nice to meet you I love trucks but I never driven one and May God Continue to Bless you and your Family keep in touch 🙏🙏
Black pearl, nice catch. That truck, man, that would be easy, especially as a new hire or older driver looking to slow it down.
You'd better get that DEF fixed before the truck shuts down on you.. That would be a good California truck for you.
wow truck really runs clean, put it to work Tim
Having issues with the video bud, tuning in all the way from Moncton New Brunswick Canada love your videos watch them as soon as they come out
Keep up the great work and hopefully 1milion subscribers soon
You missed the best part of the 860. Lift up that bottom mattress you have the table dinette set up and it has the largest refrigerator of all the OEM trucks.
grate truck for a team or for the family to go for a drive on a long hall! love it!
Grate- what you do to cheese for nachos.
Great- something really cool.
I was in a 2018 760 for about 3 1/2 years delivering propane tanks. Was a good truck and I ran it hard including high idle time. No bunk AC and it had a Hiab 49' knuckle boom crane. Delivered 3 to 7 loads a week anywhere from Main down to Florida and as far West as North Dakota down to Kansas from around Sandusky, OH area. Only issues I had with it was a dpf clean out at 250,000 miles and the breather filter got clogged so it was puking out oil.
Got my CDL in 2019 through Austin Community College. They had two tractors that were both automatic so that's what I tested on. Have a manual restriction.
I'll drive that Volvo over the fld any day all day, I drove a 760 for 3 years and I loved it, and it made me alooot of money and only broke down 1 time cause of the starter....and I was getting like 7.5 mpg sometimes 8
Grew up near the White/Volvo/Mack plant in Dublin! Good luck with the Volvo!
Thats a great lady,she does it all.
I’ve been driving two years. I started out driving a 22 automatic Volvo and was hating trucking. Now I’m in an 14 386 peterbilt with a 13 speed, i run no logs hauling milk. Now Im actually loving trucking. There is still new guys with old souls. Next goal is to be pulling a bull rack with a long hood.
The Volvo looks like a good truck for your wife appears clean. Just the coolant issue to sort
Curse control is second button from your left of steering wheel will turn on, center small button on left will set your speed.
Just finished watching Cooper’s podcast; congrats on the baby!!
I love the color on that Volvo. VNL's are real nice trucks.
Love your video Tim
