Love the story time man especially the " made it sound like we just had to fire it up and load it get there and its setting on all flat tires ,no batteries etc etc" 🤣🤣 lol damn
Robert Stock Preston ID Warren you are funny as hell to listen to your story's you tell i have really enjoyed watching your videos very interesting all the different types of things you take on keep it up you are awesome
Admire your skills and really appreciate the difference between a shop mechanic and field mechanic. A person just starting out could benefit big time from working with a mechanic like yourself. Thanks and keep up the honest, hard work.
45:31 All this rocking and rolling as your driving is making me spill my tea , as I am transfixed on your endeavours and the stories of grease and oil ....Iwas falling asleep like bedtime storys when we were bairns mine bedtime was getting the guts of those Wired RCcars just to see how the motors, I am 52 now one arm and I still fix anything people need fixing , having one arm shouldn't stop doing what gets your blood pumping, enjoy your shows greetings from Bonnie Scotland🤗 👍WTr&TrRpr 👍
Good times Warren. Stunning scenery on the test drive. I love watching this old stuff of yours, so many memories of my time in the States are brought back, thank you for it.
Thank you very much for the videos.i work at wal-mart changing oil and tires and every day look forwards to watch your videos.just like say THANK YOU BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Hello I am a new subscriber been watching for awhile just learned how to get on, I m am a welder mechanic for 40 plus years now I'm from West Virginia and do heavy mining equipment for surface and underground mining ,love you videos
I recognize that this may not be the most popular or correct opinion, but when it comes to Marijuana and hemp or whatnot, I say we oughta tax it and treat it like we do tobacco or alcohol. We tried prohibition with alcohol back in the 20s and 30s and it did nobody any good in the long term. I mean with a sane tax and a bit of minor regulation it oughta not only pay for itself but help take burden off tax revenue for other more important things.
It does the opposite belive it or not here in southern California the black market has boomed because people dont want to pay the taxes a gram of good weed goes for $15 and in the legal store it is $30

A set of hose removal pliers would help a lot. They grip the hose all the way around without putting too much pressure in one spot. Makes hard hoses much easier to remove.
Another great video Warren. One thing though not sure if was wise to say about sugar and then give what to use..... Seems like your days have been "interesting" certainly could not say they have been boring :). Keep safe you and your family always.
I agree Warren, also I can prove you are incorrect about Sugar as I have an engine to show you what happens when someone puts sugar in it. Have law enforcement to back me up and a lab test to boot. It ruined a valued engine.
Glad you're back and doing good. I thought our area was the only one that was going crazy. We have had some odd shit going on to. Some of these family farm's around here i think they are going bat shit crazy with this long winter. Hopefully you found Trouble and he's doing okay.
I used to use a Chevron jobber for diesel and petro products out of Ventura that had a fleet of'em behind Allisons in their GMC tank wagons. Started off pretty good, great efficiency...but when things go bad on a 3208, they go bad REAL bad. Cyl wall porosity, even using SC2 in the cooling systems, was the first thing to go to crap, blown head gaskets, cracked heads, busted rods through the block (although the Cummins 5.9 seems to be king there)...not a great highway engine at all. Some operators using them in local delivery not requiring sustained RPM (like conventional school buses) seem to run them forever. Marine apps, where 2800 is most of its life, not so good. Heavy equip and combines/tractors...it's 50/50. Guys who service their equipment regularly seem to get more life out of them, but that goes for any engine. Almost as bad as the old GMC Div. ToroFlows of the '60s. Now THERE was a nightmare....typical GM quickie engineering to try to corner a market.
Great story Warren, I know what you mean about saying no to cirtain jobs, it not till you get there and see what you said yes to ,then you whish you'd said No! . Sometimes we get punished for our kindnesses. Lol. Thanks for the videos Warren ,all the best .Stuart.
All the crazy things you have to do in the field. The country Church bus story, short form: Drove 60 miles to look at their bus (no brakes, 68 GMC hydrovac)call date 1992, went looked, all the brake lines rusted and rotten, told them the bus was not worth the ruff Estimate $3500 to completely replace all parts from pedal out to drums and shoes. Felt so bad I didn't charge them for the call. I happen to read in the wkly county news a couple wks later (headline) "Local Church Bus Driven Into Lake" after brake failure with *footnote* Don't use copper gas line parts for brake lines !!!
I am a heavy duty tech, I live in Saskatchewan, but used to live in B.C. I remember the days I had issues live you just discribed. I stay away from that. Most of the time you never get paid. As it is non I am self employed mostly oil field related stuff. But now I decided if I want the job. I worked at a dealership for 10years, western star freightliner. I like to see what you are doing brings back my memories. I am a one man show, run a small service truck and do not much work at my home, I prefer to work at there shop.
It stinks that whoever messed with those trucks can't understand that as an American, people can do what they want on their property and with their own labor. Freedom and justice is for EVERYONE
Damn I love these rants!! I thought I had bad luck, but you beat me all to hell!! HaHaHa. Hope all is well in Mac dole. Oh, and trouble has the right name. Hope you found him ok
I always liked the Cat 3208's. We got them in all 5 old New Holland combines we still run. You can't run em hot though. I had trouble with one not shutting down from the cab sometimes, we got used for parts. it ended up being the feul soleniod and arm assembly was rusted up from setting so long outside. Pulled the solenoid and some wd40 took care of it.
I like them also and have had great success with them also. Cat will be more than happy to inform you that they are certainly not throw away, they just aren't sleeved and they require proper care and they will perform and last a long time. Like any engine it is how they are treated.
I had my gas tank sugared once- almost ruined a brand new demon carb on a 383. The sugar turned to caramel and coated everything from the carb down, extremely difficult to clean up. Definitly not a wives tale
YOU PUT ME IN MIND OF JUSTIN WILSON, I LOVED HIS STORIES, LIKE I DO YOURS, I DONT WORK ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT AND MOST OF WHAT OL JUSTIN FIXED I WOULDNT EAYT, BUT I ENJOY THE LISTENIN TO YA,
26:24 those knipex are designed to be used as a wrench for hex heads (for that they work surprisingly well). Because they are for that specific purpose they will suck as regular pliers.
Those nippex are great I use them lots spring brake Air lines you you can just go back and forth like a ratchet when you set them right there good for sheet metal to straighten edge's and such
your comment on two people running steering and throttle reminds me being a young teenager here in OHIO, we would get drunk on the back roads and the person that could see straight steered from the passenger side and the one seeing double would operate the gas and brake. LOL.
It's the challenge, I have talked myself into jobs that I should have runaway from sometimes because I knew if I didn't do it they would get Uncle Fester who has watched every episode of "This Old House" so now he thinks he knows electricity, or the challenge !
That is the longest I've seen you put the camera on your face and talk. Storytime would be a great new feature if you had time to kill which I know you don't.....
hey! If I remember right I think you asked people to send in names for the new service truck! My submission is "Spot" because of all the finger prints!! HaHaHa. Now thats funny
Sorry but telling the masses what to dump in to tanks to ruin engines probably wasn't the right thing to do, but thanks now I know! Love your videos and stories!!
Had a 87 Chevy do the same thing did everything under the sun to fix that distributed took it out tore it all apart and cleaned everything still no ground at the darn thing got new one and bam worked like new guy at the parts store who was in line behind me asked me if that was out of a Chevy I said yes he told me they corrode in the aluminum shaft and you won’t get ground it took me about a month to figure it out because it didn’t do it all the time drove me nuts .. well great video as always take care I’m praying trouble is ok 👌
The difference between absolute pressure and "gauge" is absolute includes atmospheric pressure and gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. This is where the term psig or psi gauge comes from.
There is a powder thing or two that you can pour into a gasoline tank to time delay cause it to catch fire and possibly explode. At least according to a firefighter trained in arson investigation I used to know. I'm not sure if the current formulation of this stuff still works, but I can see grapevine substituting products into something that just makes a mess.
Just a thought Warren, product that damages equipment!!! These are the lowest type people, too chicken shit to confront you. We will always have them around. Hard to deal with... Keep safe guy.
I’m down Australia, I look forward to this type of drama when they legalise here... not. Thanks for the story and yes, it would have made a great video.
This dude is friggin hilarious, great stories and a great story teller!
if you are not making a profit, you are not charging enough. Respect to you Warren
Love when we have Storytime with Warren
Love the story time man especially the " made it sound like we just had to fire it up and load it get there and its setting on all flat tires ,no batteries etc etc" 🤣🤣 lol damn
Story time with Warren should be a new feature, so amusing the way you tell them 😂 . Great video , glad your busy and hope trouble is ok .
I agree Storytime with Warren

I like the story times, makes me feel.good knowing my family isnt the only crazy ones out there lol
Stole the fuel and put it in his heater. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love the videos man! I feel like I’m sitting there bsing with you. Lol

Warren, you’re an American treasure!
Enjoy your show Warren keep up the good work
Oh that was one great story!
I love how the dogs were hanging in the cab of the service truck
It cracks me up when people get all freaked out about pot. The same people probably bought a 12 pack on the way home.
Keep the Vids coming. I like them.
Wow, interesting to hear about all this. Hard to believe how people are. Sounds like you have your hands full. Take care!

Gauge / Absolute pressures are defining how the pressures are being displayed Warren, absolute is as it sounds, gauge is minus atmospheric...
I bought a set of those Knipex pliers for hex fasteners, they’re ok ish but not a patch on Knipex water pump pliers for general utility !
