Buying a used truck tractor common problems Freightliner Kenworth Volvo PETERBILT international

- This common problems list is based on my experience in the field.
Buying a used truck in many cases is better than buy a new truck.
No all buyer are going to face this PROBLEMS that I mentioned on this video.
If you want to buy insurance/warranty for your truck, make sure to read the contract before signing it. So you can understand all the policy that the insurance warranty company is offering you.

I made all those mistakes he pointed out. Listen to him he’s right.
Were you able to overcome it and stay in business?
I bought a 2015 cascadia with dt12 and dd15 at 300k miles and ew4 factory warranty. It's now over 500k and I've done nothing but preventive maintenance to it, except some few 10$ air leaks and overhead. No oil, air or coolant leaks. Get 7.4 average at 65 mph, 77000-79000lbs driving north west mountains. Unless you're buying a new truck, it's important you learn as much as you can about your truck and do some work on it. Maintenance is the key in my opinion.
What kind of preventive maintenance you do on it ?
@@gurpalsingh3695
Regular oil change with synthetic oil every 20000 miles. I use shell rotella t6 full synth 15w40 ( not 5w40, they have both). Use to be able to get it Walmart for 20 bucks per g, now 22.99 is the cheapest in Advance auto parts.
Coolant filter once a year
EGR valve cleaning at 550k( easy access on this year model, 2 clamps and it's off)
Delta P sensors cleaning with small 360 brushes every 6 months or replacement every 500k (about a 100 bucks),
7th injector cleaning once a year
DEF filter ( not DPF) replacement once a year
DEF doser injector cleaned at 500k, next time at 700k
DPF Cleaning at 500k. All I remember at the moment
@Jay Turan 780k as of now. Replaced air compressor, turbo, exhaust manifold gasket, clutch and push bearing, oil pump rings and suction manifold done by dealer for free as part of a recall, lower end bearings. Other than that runs as strong as before, good oil analysis, veeery little oil consumption between oil changes.
You got lucky
@@nathanharrison816 Hahahahaha....the long lost explanation
Rule #1 that I learned the hard way. Absolutely never, ever trust anyone that makes their living from selling used equipment. I don’t care how stellar of a reputation they have. If you cannot take that piece of equipment to an independent mechanic and pay him to look it over from top to bottom then you are rolling the dice and the house always wins with as-is no warranty equipment.
You are a Godsend to the trucking community brother.
This guy is speaking the truth
I worked in the oil & gas industry for 3 yrs hauling REd diesel fuel to Frac’s and oil rigs. Almost all the time I drove cascadia DD 15 engines. And let me tell you those trucks go through hell on those roads and they are tough.! They just keep going. Yes they might have steering gear box leaks, radiator leaks small problems but considering how shitty the roads are there good durable trucks.....that’s my two cents oh and I’m looking into buy myself one right now. Thanks Amaya for the info great video Amigo.! 👍😎
I like dd15 better, easy to find parts for it, just pay attention to any little problem.
#1 mistake- not having capital.
This guy he’s talking at the bottom of the heart
Other things l do: check the windshield isn't leaking water, fuel gauge is working, seats air like supposed to, it can take a while to just look at one truck. Put your hands on everything you can to make sure it isnt cracked bent broken or loose and so on. Good videos, I'm looking at a Freightliner Cascadia with an isx 2014 with 500k on it. Eaton 10 sp auto.
Great video! Just what I needed right now. Thank you
Thank you for the information about different engines, really helps. You answered my questions!! Excellent advice!!
I enjoy your videos.I wish your shop was close to me.
Hi Francisco your video always the best man. Can't wait until you have a bigger shop I want to bring my truck to you
Thank you very much for these great tips.
Really good guy giving us good advice, thanks again brother
Keep it up
Very good advice that happened to me i bought from a dealer and after a month i had problems on the road
Thank you for your professionalism
Bro you are helping people out here, I would go after all the inspection done by the good mechanic I would bring the truck to the good shop for get the alignment and tires balance done even buying a new one!!
Thank you sir. Learning so much from your video. 😊
Always good info Francisco...i bought a frieghtliner cacadia dd13and 13 speed.i had them take out the ten speed...
muchas gracias amigo yo estoy por comprar un camion y este video me a ayudado mucho a decidir que camion compara
Thank you Francisco , listening from carb restricted California . As all big diesels must now have 2010 & up def engines . DD15 Cascadia converted to super dump is probably the route 4 me . The shop had 1 with ISX Cummins but I already thought Detroit would be better & you confirmed it . Your video's are much appreciated .
Maxxforce will run u out off business. Don't buy anything label maxxforce, you've been warned.
My boss owns a 2014 frieghtliner cascadia with a DD15 engine, I am a driver and I work on his truck if it is a problem that doesn't require specialized tools and equipment, that's how easy I'm finding it to work on, and parts are cheap especially aftermarket parts.
Thanks
Wouldn’t suggest using aftermarket parts. Or even used parts. Learned the hard way,
Great advice. Thanks again.
Thank you Francisco your honesty is very much appreciated please keep making videos for your fans..Tony pasa un buen dia...
Thanks for always helping us.
So in the long run is better to just save enough money and buy a brand new truck and at least you'll make money and have peace of mind.
Thank you Francisco.
Excellent man your Awesome Thanks
muy buen consejo tocayo yo estoy por comprar un semi usado y tenia dudas pero al parecer motor cummins es lo mas recomendado y no importa si esta en un peterbilt kenworth o international
Hi brah , like the info very helpful.
What do you advise team owner operator ( husband and wife) drivers to buy what kind of truck ? Thank you
You're right about cheap insurance/warranty companies. I had such insurance on a used Nissan that caught on fire on the highway. When I called the angry sounding lady shouted, "Was the problem mechanical or electrical?", I said "I guess mechanical?", and she shouted back "Then our insurance doesn't cover it!" and hung up, marking my "case" as "not covered'. Try fighting back against that when you're already broke and stuck by the side of the road. That's what those fake warranty companies are counting on! I think if I had said "mechanical" or "electrical" then the result would have been denial in both cases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol
Good advice and info thanks!!!
Great Vid Francisco 🙂👍
Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you brother!👍
Informative video thank you!!!
Gracias por muy informativo y buen video Paco.
Rite bro I have problems with d 13 head problem all the time coolant iration now dealer charge lot money ur exactly telling truth
Get a manual engine fan switch run it when the engine hits slightly over 200°
Your injectors and water pump will have long life.
Over heating is the root cause in injector and head problems in volvos
Buen video Hno. Gracias por la ayuda. Voy a comprar un Truck por primera vez y estoy interesado en un 2017 KW T680 isx cummins. Bendiciones y adelante con los videos.
Thank you so much very helpful
Need common problems of 14.0 Detroit Freightliners. Also classic vs Columbia for oil field.
Check the carrier bearing. It cost me $1500 for my first repair coming out of a auction
Hola Francisco , cual curso en linea , libro u otro materia educativo me recomiendas para aprender sobre camiones en general , sobre todo datos importantes que uno debe conocer de motores , transmisiones etc. gracias , muy utiles tus videos.
Good tips. Thank you.
Thanks real talk
I just purchased a used truck from Penske in Kentucky and I’m driving over to California the same day I don’t know any good mechanics out in Louisville what would you recommend in that case thanks for the good knowledge
Thanks very good information
I'll keep my 2006 cat C15 peterbilt
Good Video 👍 😊 good advice 👍
I’m new your subscriber thank you for your time
I’ll Stay With the Volvo . You just said It don’t go for the cheap stuff . 😁 Bendiciones Francisco Amaya 🙏🏻 Gracias
Gracias por la información, bendiciones.
premium2000 is a decent warranty co. I lost a 13 speed transmission 3 weeks after buying the truck they are put a brand new reman in. it cost me about 1800 out-of-pocket. I dealt with them on three or four trucks .and found them to be reasonable. if it's internally lubricated it's covered.
Great information
National truck protection covers fuel pumps but not the valve inside the fuel pump
Always buy my trucks using approved used from the manufacturer ie Kenworth, Freightliner, Peterbilt,. Yes you pay a bit more but it is well worth the extra payment to get piece of mind...
Thank you for the reply
Great video
Hello Francisco and all trucker brothers. How are you? I really love Pete's ( looks, ride, and power but out of my budget ). I am going to haul reefer and dry vans - light loads on mountains. I am going to buy a new low maintenance truck with a DD15 engine 505 hp + 1750 torque. The first truck that comes to mind is Freightliner Cascadia but I like Freightliner 122SD ( it looks like the younger brother of Pete to me ). I need to get advice on how Freightliner 122 SD is with maintenance and fuel efficiency? Thanks in advance.
Francisco, great advice I must say. Personally I have a 2013 DD15 Cascadia & it is a very good truck for making money.
Mine has a legal tune, all emissions are in place & working properly, the truck puts 530 hp to the ground.
I feel the DD series engine are the best emissions engine.
If you know anyone, I would like to sale it & get a new 5700EX
HI I am interested in the truck email me at goldysingh992@gmail.com thanks
Good video.
What about Detroit 60 engine
I did all mistakes except the insurance 😁it was a 2013 Volvo with Cummins isx engine more than 700k miles on it
Thank you so so much my brother, we are support your Channel always. how we can contact with you, and ask for recommendations?
I'm looking to buy a 2015 volvo vnl42 with 361,000 on the clock. The truck has a salvage title from hitting a guardrail. The seller rebuilt the truck.im paying a local dealer 143 dollars to inspect the truck to see if its in good shape. What should I be really concerned about? Any tips would be appreciated. Also was thinking about batteries and assume that could be expensive. Can you tell me how many batts the truck has?
What friction modifiers you recomend to use we change our own oil 15w40 Delo every 20k miles
About PACCAR Engine its so true i regret getting that i wish i had CUMMINS engine
@francisco Amaya 2013 f/l cascadia Dash light dimming and flashing, can’t cut off hazards lights, clearance lights on truck continuously flashing, cruise control stop working as well as Engine break...Dash says No ABS NoSfu Eng 0, clicking noise once cut off truck coming from fuse box area under hood 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😔😔
You always make good videos with very helpful information. I have a 2011 Cascadia with a dd13. Is the dd13 a good engine? I have had it for 6 mo. No problems. Thanks for the good info

Francisco I appreciate your advices and your videos they're very very good informative we think you' pancho Francisco 😱
I’m in the inland empire and just bought a truck so you do dot inspections ?
Francisco, thank you for your video from an expert mechanic such as yourself. How can i go about hiring a good diesel mechanic when i purchase my Truck? Is it possible to hire you at your rate or do you know of a good mechanic and also after i purchase my Truck can i bring it to you to look over the engine before i hit the road? Thank you in advance and thanks for yet another insightful video.
I’m also interested. I’m in Fontana CA.
I been that done that 🙄☹️ 6 yrs ago.
Buen video.bro gracias
Francisco, can you please do video or direct me to one you've done on Wabco Ongaurd. Can it be disabled? Mine keeps malfunctioning, messing up cruise control, has even shut down truck a few times. Thank you for your incredible videos.
Yes, I can do that. I will upload it when I get it ready.
If you are buying a DD-13 or 15, 1st or 2nd generation engines, make sure the oil pan is dropped and check the oil pick-ups to see if they have been replaced. If they haven't, have them replaced immediately. That is the reason my 1st generation DD-13 seized up (I was no longer the driver when it happened, so it wasn't me). A couple of our DD-15s had the same thing happen. They deteriorate prematurely.
From what year is considered the second generation engine?
From what year? I’m in the process of buying a DD13 Cascadia. You are saying the oil pan are so low they deteriorate?
@@yoban360 From what our mechanics say, the gaskets and tubing rot and the oil doesn't get pulled up so the engine becomes oil-starved and seize up. I towed another truck a few weeks ago where the side of the engine has a fist-sized hole in it from a blown piston. 2nd one in 2 weeks. We've just about gotten the last of our Cascadias sold off. Mine was a 2010. These were 2013-14.
yoban gonza The pickup assemblies are plastic and they’d crack causing low or no oil pressure thereby killing the engine. DD recalled some of them. Pull the oil pan off and replace the pickup and all o-rings.
Hey Francisco where is your shop located?
I am new to ur channel and i love it so far... te dejas cai.

Fransico voy a comprar un camión Freigthliner con un DD 15 pero pensaba que era un 505hp pero es 400hp y me dicen que lo pueden subir a 475 HP yo no se mucho pero para OTR y subir las lomas no se si podré . Que opinión tienes de esto ?
Regularmente el DD15 es 455 a 475 y 475 a 515 pero varia en la configuration de la computadora. Si se puede subir si la computadora ya trae program de 475
What year did they remove the axial power turbine from the DD15?
2015
Hello where are you located for a service or repair
How much does it cost to have someone inspect a truck ?
Thank you for los consejos,
Last advice dont buy a truck thinking you will make a whole lot of money in trucking. There is so much into consideration.
Francisco, maestro, --if i buy DD15 2016, at what mileage usually I will start having problems? also, after 500,000 miles what is the average repair per year. Also, what mileage max is not worth buying it?
It varies. There is not a specific milage. But try to find the with repair records.
