The first thing to remember in trucking, never trust anyone, especially salesmen. Good Luck.
Second thing, when parked for the night don't answer your door to 2 knocks only 3!!!!
Yes, and never ask for a water pump for a T680.
That’s for sure
@@rjb I'm curious on what the 2 or 3 knocks mean? Anything to do with lot lizards?
@@JM-xu3cr the number of knocks depends on sexual orientation
This is what you call a positive man negativity is thrown his way and still keeps a positive attitude that’s how you do it .
Wonder if he took out a car/truck shield policy?
Jajaja is it?
@@panchitovilla9616 yes hater
@@joeschmo5021 May I ask why you wondered? Regards.
That's a Rastaman Spirit... Positive vibrations. 1 love.
I like the "Your repair starts now" sign. What they left off is "but we have no idea when your repair will be done".
Wow this young man restored some faith in humanity....
just a nice guy living day to day.
Yousiff - The comments are all over the place. Some are positive and some negative. One way to learn is by trying things on your own and over the years you'll learn what works for you. Keep moving forward because I look forward to your videos. They are better than anything on TV these days. Good luck dude and keep working hard.
Half the people talking about truck don't know head from thier ass about a truck melton takes care of trucks way better than most all other carriers this is a old melton truck any used truck will have issues
Yousif, I give you 2 pats on the back for allowing us to see the ups & downs in trucking! I give you kudos for being so open w your followers! A lot of big time YT channels wouldn’t DARE post what your posting & I thank you for being so optimistic & really showing us how things happen in this industry! #newsub
Rush Truck Center, where your money is 1st and your issues are secondary!
WELCOME TO SEMI OWNERSHIP! Going to be some big bills to come....Time to make some big money to get ready to pay for them!
Remember, until you hand over the money, your in control. Always be ready to walk away, and always have other options.
You are too nice, I'd have been driving it back to the showroom, ideally through the window.
sorry man, but just like life, this is a learning curve for you. Keep pushing forward, expenses and issues behind you, live and learn and push on! Don't let it get you down for long. Get bummed, get pissed but get on with it. Tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start.
Great attitude. It all starts there. I love your spirit, even when under stress or disappointment, you still show positivity. I can learn from that
We bought a 2014 Peterbilt 579 Paccar MX13 from Rush in Fontana and come to find out the engine was rebuilt with a new block and that wasn't disclosed to us.
Salesmen are sneaky and prey on your dreams. Having crank seal leaks. Just redid the whole DPF system. Has it removed and cleaned.
These are the questions I know for next time...asking about service on the engine , filters, etc
IMO get the hotel room. Have them go over truck. I noticed there is nationwide road repair, towing (but not recovery) $400 a yr for semi. If they fix it for parts cost. Pay for another night in hotel. (I comment as I listen). If you break down 1x and it covers...
You need to tell a shop that there is a Kenworth dealer nearby???
Keep old belts, hoses. (Unless totally shot). Quick roadside repair parts. Avoid buying stuff at 3x price at truck stop. That sat for 5 yrs in front of heat vent...
I love watching you. You're always take a bad situation and turn it into a better outcome. Congratulations!, on your new purchase. 👏
I love how you roll with the punches man. Learning along the way.
I just came across your channel. It looks like you bought a truck that used to belong to Melton Truck Lines. I recognize that color scheme anywhere, plus the tarp box and headache rack was a dead giveaway. I used to work at Melton as a driver, and they did the bare minimum in terms of maintenance. They replace their trucks every 2-3 years, so they mostly put bandages on problems since it won’t be their problem for long. It would’ve been slightly better if you gotten that truck with a manual transmission instead of an automatic.
If you decide to keep that truck, I recommend getting rid of those supersingles and get some duallies instead. You get more traction with dually tires and you’re able to keep driving hundreds of miles down the road if and when one of your tires decides to blow. Whereas with your supersingle tires, wherever they decide to blow, you have to stop right there and then. The potential fuel savings are not worth the premium you have to pay for those supersingle tires.
Nevertheless, I wish you nothing but the best on your journey. Mistakes will be made. You will learn from them and become better.
Appreciate your honest review of your experience, as opposed to sugar coating it like some other people like doing.. 👍

THATS WHY THEY ARE KNOWN AS KENWORTHLESS
@@PP-uv1kw any truck can have an issue. Especially if the prior owner or driver didn’t keep up on maintenance.
Also, the engine is a Cummins. Which for the most part are extremely well built engines. They, like any other engine out there, can have water pumps fail after a few hundred thousand miles.
@@PP-uv1kw KW makes quality trucks. But this particular model is shit, not to mention it probably has a couple hundred thousand on it. Not a good purchase. I wish the best for him tho.
No mechanic with a 6th grade education signs off on that repair with "bad' belts
Warranty repairman all sign off once the paid part is installed, and if that repair goes beyond service hours with other issues, it’s put on hold in order to satisfy non warranty customers because that’s where the main dealership profits come from.
Test drive your purchase 100% with a cheat sheet checking off detailed functions of everything inside and out, top to underneath, front to back and pay for a certified tractor trailer mechanic outside of the dealership.
You are super positive and no matter what BS they threw at you, you never got mad and always kept a smile on your face. Keep it up. :D
Get used to doing small things on your own with the semi. Dealers and shops will rip you off! Take care.
Fact
That’s why I call them Stealerships! 😉
@@glcmranger421 pretty call
Yup! And use this platform of RUclips help you. So many DYI videos on how to fox this and that. Watch on your off time to familiarize yourself with that make and model etc.
Nobody should consider buying a truck if they cant fix the small stuff at least.
That door click for example is a 2 minute fix with a socket wrench.
🤣 9:00 "Your repair starts now".
Keep up the good work Yousiff. We live and we learn.
Dang! Almost 65k views on this video!!! Atta boi!! Keep that head up. Never let dealerships make you pay for their mistakes. Always fight for the best prices. Keep doing what you do man
Thank you brother!
Apparently people like watching train wrecks
LOL @4:35, my man want a ETA on the ETA!!!LOL
Good luck my friend. Your one of the backbones that keep America rolling!
Young man, nice teeth, healthy weight, great skin........I got my license 19 years ago and I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart eat the loss sell that truck and do ANYTHING else.
Yep, I'm a qualified mechanic turned company driver. I agree with you. I hated mechanical repairs because of the stupid useless a-holes in spare parts sabotaging every single step of the parts ordering process. If only I just knew when I left what I know now - I was only dealing with one layer of morons, I'd never have started driving.
As a driver the layers of morons is never ending - from suppliers, to motorists, to bosses/customers/receivers/dispatchers/police/regulatory authorities/service attendants/other truckers/members of the public/road workers so on and so forth into infinity. Heck and I'm only a lowly company driver. Imagine being an owner operator??
It's so bad out there, I was ordering a coffee recently and told them how I wanted it and the lady started arguing with me about how I will be having my coffee. I let her make it and then refused to take it or pay for it. I said to her that's not how it works - how it works is if you want my business I tell you what I want not vice versa.
its a man, not a slave
Like your honesty.Good luck down the road.
Welcome to the wonderful world of OTR trucking.... You’d think dealers would keep common parts like water pumps, radiator system parts, alternator and turbo parts around for just in case, but I guess that would make too much sense. Them electric logs don’t seem to work out with down time... Breakdowns are the one thing I will never miss.
GL, I hope it all works out. Safe travels.
That truck seems like it will have a lot of downtime. You are a very optimistic person, and hardworking. I wish you luck.
i wish you the best, mate. Your attitude is your best asset.
I live in Tulsa, ok.
hope you had a good time here outside of the truck issues!
not in the past nor now do I want to try truck driving but these videos are interesting!
good luck pal.
Well said, Just keep on going forward and learn each day as you go. Great positive outlook.
Bought 2 used trucks with problems first one $2000 repair dealer covered $500 Palmer Kentworth second time I made sure I had extended warranty before purchasing best thing I could’ve done
Hope you have better luck with it, it’s a really good looking truck, can’t wait to see some videos you working with it
Every truck has its own issues. Finding them and fixing them is just part of the job.
Bought a freight liner at Houston freight liner with similar issues. You are not alone, my friend.
Love the color of the truck and the truck choose! I would go with t680 soon too :) I think you made a very smart move to get a semi 💯👏
This truck is beautiful! 😍💓
You remind me of me in 10/2011. I took delivery of a 2012 T660 that I ordered with a 600HP Cummins and after two major engine failures it was garbage at 350,000 miles. Neither of which Cummins took responsibility for in compliance with their Progressive Warranty. It basically states that they will only warranty the 1st part that fails in the string of failures. That means that the first breakdown, a shattered porcelain fuel plunger took out all the injectors and although I was billed $14,000 they gave me back $6,000. This was because the triple plunger system had a potential to cavitation, ergo they changed the entire fuel delivery system. How I ended up responsible for all the injectors after initially purchasing $14,000 in extended warranties on all components to a minimum of 500,000 miles was beyond me. 100,000 miles later it turned a main bearing that pulled a rod and scored the block. A $35,000 engine bill of which Cummins said was sized by a pitting camshaft whose metal deposits caused the main bearing to turn and they offered to pay only for the camshaft. This was at 350,000 miles. I'd had the truck for 27months and I didn't have anywhere near that amount on hand to repair and had to forfeit the truck to auction and was on the hook for the remainder. 10 years after purchase, I'm still paying for that POS Cummins Engine. Buyer beware, Yousuf! Buyer beware. You should get rid of that red devil before it comes after you. Get yourself a Detroit in, say, a Western Star 5700XE. That's a similar style. You'd love it.
Sure you picked up a clean truck with a few miles on it but there will always be those things like a water pump, compressor, etc that will need replacing but once it's done it's done for a good while, that's the good side I try to lean on, learning how to do those repairs will save you alot of downtime and labor $$$ I'm sure the DPF system will want attention in the near future but let's gets some miles on the road and recharge the bank account :-) Be safe out there Yousiff!
Lot of negative comments, good vibe all day 🤙💪🏽
I'd bet money they have the pump in stock. But because that job is listed as a warranty, they don't take stock parts. Have seen it many many times. My cousin worked at a dealer also and it was their policy to order and wait on parts for any warranty work. Had it happen to me on a 2007 isx Cummins. When my egr went out and they said 2 days for parts. Walked out side and called parts department at the dealer I was at and they had multiple on stock...ended up buying out of pocket and submitting warranty papers myself
Good luck Yousif the positive man
Where that hinge is, there should be a couple of bolts that are loose, they just may need to be tighten to fix the pop noise when door opens
Kenworth actually buys directly from Cummins and distributes parts through their own PACCAR warehouses to their dealer. Some dealers do not have an account at the local Cummins distributor, warranty policies may throw a wrench into your dealer buying a water pump from another OE dealer as well as prices may be locked.
You're exactly right.
It's naive to think the dealers are 'so dumb' that don't check other parts suppliers.
I'm a forklift mechanic and our factory warranty parts HAVE to come from the manufacture, END OF, we cant just get the part from another supplier and send the bill to the OEM, it doesn't work like that! 😂
If we had to pay for the parts, (e.g machine maybe out of manufacturers warranty but sold 2nd hand with our own warranty) than we still wouldn't be getting the part from another dealer, we'd get maybe a 40-50% discount from the OEM but from another dealer we'd be paying close to retail.
Thats why they don't check other dealers for parts availability - unless that dealer has multiple depots and will check the others buts that's as far as it goes.
Patient is a vertue. Amazing attitude.
I guess the pre delivery inspection. Was missed at the dealership. They would be paying for hotel rooms
The clicking door holder is a common issue on Paccar products (Peterbilts & Kenworths), only thing you can really do is replace it (hopefully before it breaks then anchoring bolts). Also on a Cummins engine that repeated moving noise you hear when you shut it down it normal, it is the intake throttle valve running its own checks.
To much negative yall showing respect his journey and learned
Everybody life ain the same keep pushing bro you the one with a title 💯 🙏
While you have it in their shop tell them to go over every inch of that truck before you leave to save yourself some headaches
The shop is owned by the same company that sold him the truck, how honest do you think they will be?
@@fgrodriguezqac whatever issues are found by the owner are pointed out and should be taken care of. Don’t just drive off knowing there’s an issue and you have to pay for it not the seller.
@@XX-166 You are correct but in order for the owner to point out the issues such owner needs to know how to identify issues but I don’t get the feeling this guy knows much.
For god sake, in his previous video when he was reviewing the truck he spend 90% of the time inside the cabin showing the bed, the fridge, the little window in the back, a table, etc.... about the engine he only said “it was pressure washed and they added more grease after washing it” 🤦🏻♂️, he brought his brother who is a driver and NOT a mechanic.
If you are going to invest 50K+ into a truck and you don’t know jackshit about engines you need to bring a mechanic with you or at least have a shop (NOT the one owned by the dealership) on stand by for you to drop the truck and have them do a full inspection.
From his video he said himself he thought he was going to buy the truck and be ready to start hauling loads the next day.
I think he likes to cut corners, he likes to save every single penny and that came to bite him in the ass. He should’ve got the truck and go to a shop and PAY a inspection fee to have the truck checked up and down by a professional and if or when they found something it would be written on a official report from an actual mechanic and with that he can go back to the place he bought the truck and show them the report with everything that was found wrong and force them to fix it but he probably didn’t want to spend the couple hundred bucks to have a shop inspect the truck. Now because he was cheap and wanted to jump steps he ended up with a truck parked for a week and lost income. 🤷🏻♂️
@@fgrodriguezqac you are correct... when you’re buying a truck with 500k on the dash ...caveat emptor... let the buyer beware. Hopefully he will have more luck with this truck then he did with the Ford as most are saying he’s gonna have even more troubles with this particular make and model. He should’ve done more homework.
dude stop giving wrong advice
are you a truck driver ?
good luck!!! make sure the paid you soon as possibly.
He said I knew something was go happen to the truck "and it did"
Its funny how we can manifest bad things instantly but when u manifest good things people tell u too be patient to receive it smh.. .
It's all part of the game. KEEP having fun.
Repair shops are supposed to order from their suppliers. Finding a part on their own is something they don’t/won’t do.
Screw the customers then huh...
You are the coolest man handling this problem, water pump on a new vehicle is a bad omen what kind of service will you get in the future, what is the warranty on a new truck
I hope you have a lot better luck.
You should not have paid the $490 , its the dealer that stretched the belt to to take off the water pump. After installing back on its starter slipping (thats why it was making noise) , the belt was not making noise when you took it in for the leaking water pump. Also they double charged you for the labor on the belt , they had to take it off to change the water pump. Call your dealer make some noise and get a full refund on the belt.
belt did not get stretched, the belt tensioners sieze up and when you move them to remove the belt they will not put the proper tension back onto the belt, its a known issue, belts are also a wear item just like brakes and clutch items
Yeah that sounded more like one of the belt tensioner for that price and should of put the green belt worth the money
I hope they are repairing the door since it’s gonna be there that long???
Beautiful rig sir love your content.
Welcome to truck driving my friend. Some time it sucks. The shops will rip you off in a minute.
i too had a ton issues with a 2015 680 what a fkn nightmare!!! i loved the trk itself for its cadillac ride and it handled very decent and that cummins is a runner but those emissions are hopeless. ditch that and get a w9 or its cousin pete. good luck dvr
I think I would of done some hard research on what kind of semi to buy and which motor is gonna be worth my time to make money in this business. I really hope this is just a little bump in the road for you and you make some money in this thing.
I’m the same way. Sometimes you gotta make calls for them and do the logistic part of things pertaining to your truck. They’re like lazy zombies 🧟
Back in the early seventies a delivery driver show up with a new truck. He told us that each time his company got a new truck their head mechanic had all the mechanics tighten all the nuts, bolts, screws. They frequently found that fasteners were not torqued to specification. Lesson learned.
Best of luck brother! There will be ups and downs! Enjoy trucking, and enjoy time w ur family!
Welcome to the Fantasy of trucker life. You'll soon find out that your expectations will be crushed. Good luck to you
Very well said
Amen! lol
New sub MY Friend!!! By the way I LIKE your actitud YOU ARE ALWAYS POSITIVE 😊
Same thing happened to me they told me it will be a week and I drove down to dealer near by and found the part. I called the dealer my truck was at and made them buy the part over the phone. Sometimes you gotta get on them dealers! Good luck with the truck!
It's a good habit to answer your phone. I used to do the same as you. Until one day I got a call from new Jersey I didn't answer they let a voice mail my friend had a vehicle accident and was killed we were business partners so they called my number from a business card his wallet and cell phone was lost in the accident. Anyway it doesn't take much effort to answer the phone.
My friend, that truck is a good-looking pile of garbage. It will not give you anything but trouble, please research the subject of maintenance well before buying a runned-down fleet truck with no maintenance history.
i agree
Melton are the second best truck next to a tmc truck as far as taken care of truck but is for sale for a reason goes for all truck used
what you talking about
melton have pretty good maintenance
waterpump leaking is nothing.... you dont seriously consider that a problem?!
thats like people calling a coolnt hose leak a huge breakdown
its a good clean truck . its not a blown head gasket man
Melton trucks are good trucks. Good luck with your new to you rig
He started with a pickup truck (HotShot), wasted that truck my not maintaining the transmission. So what does he do, goes and buys a used big truck.
They drive amongst us .....
A big dealership like Rush should have parts like that in stock. Thanks for warning me not to buy from them.
Love your new 18 wheeler 💕
At most it’s a 14 wheeler. It might actually become a 10 wheeler. ;)
It's only a 6 wheeler right now as he owns no trailer
This just happened to me on January 30. Which was a Saturday, I bought truck from Arrow Truck sales of Houston. The DEF sensor fail on me 290 mls into a 320 ml trip. On 30 mls to go and I had to get a tow.
Welcome to Big Rug Trucking. Big Toy Big $$$ to keep it going.
The dealer should cough up the $$$ for the lost time, fuel, etc. They sold you a truck that had known issues! Avoid buying anything from them!
Not the dealers fault its actually his fault because he is purchasing a used vehicle that has been sitting for a while. Before you buy any car or truck that has been sitting on the lot you the buyer are supposed to check everything thoroughly, test drive it for at least an hour up the hills and curves check for vibrations, any leaks or unusual sounds drive it to its maximum limits and if nothing breaks during the test drive then make the purchase decision. Unfortunately too many idiots buying blindfolded
Leave a bad review they hate that it goes a long way trust me
You people are what’s wrong with the world today
@@derekchauvinisahero2010 you sound like a 75 yr old boomer
Love the truck color my favorite
Man, subscribe to you. I would of been pissed off and yelling.!!!😂
So i work for a dealer that sells parts (not big rig stuff, but same concept). When we have a unit break down and need parts, we go to the manufacture because we get better prices and spending money with that company goes farther. When you buy parts from other companies/3rd you pay more, pay higher freight and some even charge you tax. So not surprising that did that.
I like the Color. If you get this fixed, u wouldn't have any more issues.. its a good omen thing...
You have a great attitude.
KW service is why my company that was exclusively KW for 40+ years dropped them for peterbilt and freightliner.
Lol get this, we bought a New 2020 KW T880, not even 3k miles in the EGR goes out. Good thing we had a 750k mile warranty. But seriously, these trucks need to be improved on. Same with the damn harnesses.
2019 KW T880 went through 4 ABS harnesses before 250k miles. Crazy lol
What a start
I’m sure the mechanic knew that noise was coming from the belt when they gave you the keys back 💡 Is it just me, or that seemed kind of shady to everyone else? If there was no noise coming from the belt before, then there shouldn’t have been any noise coming from it after the water pump was replaced 🧐 Once the pump was replaced, it should have been good. What was the name of that shop again sir, so other drivers will be aware.
CROOKS
They probably knew the belt got antifreeze on it and rolled the dice on not replacing it . I was always taught when a belt gets antifreeze on it , it gets replaced for this very reason
Nice truck man, beautiful color.
That's a Cummins engine right?.
Sorry you’re having trouble. Hope all is good so you can start earning your money back.
Stay Safe
Now you learned what to look for, for the next time you purchase. Start doing small things yourself to save time, over money.
I loved that color so beautiful so gorgeous
Pretty sure that wasn't the belts but the vgt turbo doing it's full movement cycle to clean off any soot on the veins. Should basically do that almost every time you shut it off
Yep.
new pump ALWAYS gets a new belt... no labor as the belt is off anyways.. You got screwed balled
Stay positive bro
that's surprising, most of the new trucks I've driven didn't have a water pump issue, instead it was the DPF system failing lol... and always about an hour into my drive...
Beautiful truck.
Were you strictly a HotShot when you had Ford,, or did you run with a CDL??? Thanks,, Great videos...
Yousiff
Good afternoon
Sorry about the truck issues , you need to find a good mechanic in
your town for truck maintenance and repairs.
In wich city you leave ?
Hope you start Trucking tomorrow.

Where do you live Yousiff ?
@@carlosaguirre1313 do you a good mechanic in Dallas fort worth area?
Maybe everything will be good from here on out !
Man that's a lot to go through . By the way you can just put some lubrication on that door and see if that will help with clicking noise
I agree. Lube may fix the problem. I hear doors on cars clicking often. Let to run dry, the hinge will fail. I periodically use a spray lube on my doors.
The bolts are loose at the frame. It takes less than a minute to tighten them up. The little triangular piece is rattling.
You are so correct. No one wants to oil anything. Be willing to bet those door hinges etc. have never ever been lubricated with anything.
Te compraste ese camión amigo? Se ve muy padre
DAMN!! I have that fear of that happening to me. But you are gonna do well.
Mate, I make most of the trucks parts over here in Melbourne and have done for 20 odd years, you've got a sub from me purely for putting up with those idiots!
1st of many to come with a comeapart.
