    Mr. Schmidt it certainly was a surprise to find that wire?? You gave a good example how to check out the trans and maintain your self in adversity. Hopefully it will be a long while before anything else challenging occurs🙄🖐thanks for having us ride along.

    There are three truck driver video makers who I have watched and you are my favorite.While the other two are nice, hard working people, you seem to keep your cool and knowyour stuff. Decades ago I hauled cars, got laid off, went back to college and kept going until i got an advanced degree, became a techy, and retired a few years ago. While I loved trucking, it was hard work, but I was young and stupid and could handle all the work I was given. Stay well

    Yep... I should've been a trucker. The printing trade consumed much of my work history. I recently retired from the newspaper publishing industry after 32 years of service. Our printing/ distribution facility was shut down and outsourced. Being cooped up in a building for 8-12 hour night shifts was agonizing. Lots of stress and headaches along the way, but it did pay the bills and put food on the table. As I see the hood view of the open road from your Kenny, I realize now... how I missed out. Opportunities were there, I just managed to get sidetracked along the way. That's life. Goin' forward, I'll enjoy your story and ride along through your lens. Stay safe!

    Hey, nice video. I keep a roll of this stuff called "rescue tape" in my truck. There are other brands as well. It's self fusing silicone tape you can stretch and wrap around a hole in a pressurized line and it will get you home. Too late if you don't have it in your truck, but buy a roll for next time. I always wrap a zip tie around the tape after to make sure it doesn't unroll.

    If you got the twin turbo check the EGR cooler for coolant bypassing going into the engine very small amount and yes those radiators the cores do get clogged up with calcium white chalky substance Make sure your shroud is good your find hub is good. Best part about that radiator is you can replace upper and lower tank and you get money back when you send the core in.

    The antifreeze blowing out the over flow I have a 2003 w900 doing the same thing and had the engine rebuilt because of a blown head gasket, "6nz c15" thinking it would fix the problem and it didn't, what happens is the the tabs on the cap vibrates and wears into the fill neck and it no longer seals, but I recently noticed a shiny spot on the cap so I looked on the inside of the hood and I can see a wear mark on the hood so basically when the hood is closed theres a clearance issue and it pushes the cap down ever so slightly and that's what creates my problem, check your cap the filler neck is easy to replace any rad shop can do it in the truck, I replace them myself there just soldered in good luck...

    That is a trans cooler/heater. It has coolant going to it as well. It’s meant to warm up the trans quicker in cold weather, as the coolant warms. It is also meant to keep the trans oil cooler under power of course. Those trans coolers are “bad” about failing and filling the trans with coolant causing catastrophic damage to the trans. Which warranty usually doesn’t cover! I recommend to all my customers to delete that cooler and install an air cooler instead of a coolant cooler. Save you some possible heartache in the future.

    On the coolant loss have you renewed the radiator pressure cap? If the spring has gone weak it will allow coolant to escape and there did seem to be a few antifreeze crusts around the filler neck. Could be a cheap fix!
