Andy< I watch all your videos, for the last 3 or 4 years. I don't comment as I watch on my TV with no keyboard. On computor today so thought I'd say how much I enjoy youir videos. I live in WA state now but once lived on Benson Rd across from the airport in Skaneateles. I worked for Aqway in Cortland but that was in the 70's. Keep them coming, they are real and I enjoy them.
I love these type videos. Break down are part of the business. Nobody wants them, but when your company is operating as much as you do it is bound to happen. That it why I watch your channel, nothing is staged, planned and it is just life and work. Good though and great job!
Such a bad spot for a breakdown. Glad it went fairly well getting it cleaned up. As bad as it all sucked, it made an interesting video! 👍 Thanks Andy for sharing your frustrations with us.
I am a peterbilt guy, to the 2007 model year. After that NOPE. No emissions crap and NO PACAR motors. Get rid of that lemon. Kenworth owes you for all this aggravation and bad work.
Hello Andy, With the amount of trucks you have you might want to look into a "fifth wheel tow fixture". It fits on your frame then uses your fifth wheel and the fifth wheel of the other truck. I've seen them around years ago. I don't know how many times it was needed would cover the cost. Maybe the deaker will cover the tow if they didn't fix it correctly the first time. Anyway it's just a thought. One of the facts of having trucks is that they will need to be towed sometimes.
Some times You have cut Your losses and send a lemon down the road. I bought a brand 1992 Mack CH613. I was 18 months of pure HELL! Almost broke Us. May 94 traded it for a W900 435 hp manual Cat. It saved Us!
Yes you are right. You don’t need a headache every day with the same truck and its better let the Tow truck if something else goes wrong and it’s safer let the tow truck do their job because they are very very safety and you don’t need to have your guys get hurt if something stupid happens
Just another day of a Farmer... huh Andy? Gald every one was safe. Things can go sideways fast on a busy road. Granddad driving Granddaughter truck??? Lol.. im sure he was careful with it Miss Alex... 😊
As a former Kenworth dealership and Paclease service tech from the 80s, PeterBroke has always had significantly more troubles than most of the other trucks we worked on. I had more overnight road recovery runs picking or repairing those things than literally any other rig. Seems they've only gotten worse, but I don't work on them anymore.🤷🤙
I told you about the problems we had with our Peterbilts! 13,000 hour time bombs ! Of the 4. 3 had to have new motors! The other one needed a new cam, timing gears,and a high-pressure fuel pump. Have them pull the high- pressure pump and look at the roller and cam. It's the roller that is the problem.
Well... at least it made for a good video. Definitely a good thing to have that service truck - it is earnings its keep. You are certainly better equipped than most to handle these type of problems. BTW, have you stocked the service truck with some pylons yet?
Time to get rid of the PeterBilt, once issue's start to build up on any machine it's time to offload it and quick. Had a truck once that should have been scrapped 3 years before it was, once it was scrapped the only thing's worth salvaging was the rim's, the chassis and gearbox which had been rebuilt 10 months prior at a cost of $10,000.
@@mrfix3474PACCAR owns both and ever since they bought each out the trucks are junk. It's a sad state when International ( Navistar) have become the best trucks on the road in the last 5 years 😂😂
😂😂😂 that's hilarious. My brother's 6155R is now and it's 3rd engine and it's got less than 700 hours on it. Deere are junk ever since R series cane out.
Would cost you more money to swap this truck than the truck could ever possibly be worth, you could go buy another one for less you have to change all the ecu's over write computer programs change sensors change wiring harnesses. Be a $40k project not even close to worth it.
i drove a truck for many years . had to take the trailer i was pulling to a shop to get an airbag replaced and thay had 15 peterbilt setting out front that had auto tran, and thay said thay had stop payment on thim so peterbilt would come and get them , thay would not. every 50 mi the tran went out on them . his drivers were driveing freightline and volvos.
Your time is valuable. Often times it is much cheaper to bring in someone else to do things when your time is better spent on the more important tasks that can't be delegated. If you were dragging the truck back to your shop that would be one thing, but off to the dealership? Yeah, better to have it towed. Hopefully it's an easy fix so the next sucker, er, owner, can get a few happy miles out of it.
The problem with these trucks is all the ECUs and sensors have to be swapped and computers over written to swap engines to something other than that piece of crap Paccar
Time for the PacCar to pack it in and go to the retirement yard and allow grass and weeds to grow around it. Time for another Bull Dog or Freight Shaker😊😊😊😊 Good luck with it hope it works out well
I’ve had Peterbilts for years and they were great trucks but I wouldn’t take one with a Paccar drive train if they gave it to me they are total junk. If it had the drive train your W-900 has you would love it. Unfortunately they are cutting their own throats with the Paccar drive trains. Yes it needs to go down the road
I thought this PB is around a 2017or 2018?how you going to get a Cat engine in a truck newer than 2008 since Cat pissed of out the OTR engine business in 2008. And they pissed off out of the OTR engine business because the Acert C series were every bit as bad as these Paccars. 😂😂
Just sucks the amount of money y’all have spent on that berm queen and it still isn’t worth scraping. Only in America let’s put shit on trucks and equipment that doesn’t need to be on them
You didn’t get your Dad on video explaining about the truck. Now if that was my dad driving and he broke down in one of my trucks you wouldn’t have been able to film while he was driving away in the truck because he would’ve had a beep it out😂😂
Yep, leave the towing to the tow truck businesses. Sometimes one can save money doing it themselves with a lowboy but the convenience of a tow truck and safety lighting outweighs the cost savings. I wouldn't get rid of the peter-car just yet I would find out what happened first get it fixed (maybe it'll be under warranty) and then use it for local work for a little while then decide to trade er or keep. Think Andy stated once that this truck is the fastest truck in the fleet as far as top speed goes lol.
You know Andy you hardly ever seen a truck outfitted with a 3406b cat and a 13 speed manual broke down. Best we get back to old roots and leave this computerized junk
Hope Kenworth shop is supplying the Vaseline. The more they work on it .The more it breaks down.Sounds like a lemon big time. You have had more problems with that truck than all the other trucks combined.
That peterbilt has been a piece of SHIT since the day it was assembled. Sadly paccar has and will continue to to pound you in the ass for as much money as possible.
It's not a peterbult thing. It's a pacar thing. Them pacar engines are nothing but boat anchors. Worst engines on the market. This is a arm chair quarterback suggestion. Cummins with not over 300,000 miles or Detroits. Stay away from Mercedes and pacar. Good luck. My choice would be a good old pre 2000 cat with no bullshit. But not knowing New York state EPA rules on engines that may not work.
At least we don't do our field work with our loaders in the air creating a higher center of gravity and possibly destroying a several thousand dollar peice of equipment lol

Hi Andy. Thanks for showing the good & the bad shit that happens.
👍🇺🇸🇮🇪
Interesting. Western Star. You talked of getting rid of it one time. Glad you kept it. Smart move. Gets a lot of use.
Very calm acting, for those of us who have watched for years we get the very pissed off in your demeanor. Lol
I am a peterbilt guy, to the 2007 model year. After that NOPE. No emissions crap and NO PACAR motors. Get rid of that lemon. Kenworth owes you for all this aggravation and bad work.
The majority of the trucks where I work are 2007s with C15s. You and my boss must think alike
@@strong40Acert Cats were garbage
You know Andy, All this time and effort you put into your equipment, It really shows my friend. Regardless of this incident.
Should have told that tow truck driver just to take it to Ritchie Brothers
@@norcalray7182 no then Matt will want it and he doesn’t need that headache

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊
we won't miss that one 👋🏼
Like the quote Andy, that’s the last time that truck breaks down on us🤣get some tannerite and send it off to the grave🤬y’all take care!
Some times You have cut Your losses and send a lemon down the road. I bought a brand 1992 Mack CH613. I was 18 months of pure HELL! Almost broke Us. May 94 traded it for a W900 435 hp manual Cat. It saved Us!
Jack the radiator cap up drive a new truck under it😂😂😂😂
😂😂
You can get a lemon in anything Another good one Andy 🚜🚛🇺🇸👍
That’s what a guy who worked with me would have said.
You guys should buy a quick swap wrecker body you have the hydros on your truck that would be a big help !
Yes you are right. You don’t need a headache every day with the same truck and its better let the Tow truck if something else goes wrong and it’s safer let the tow truck do their job because they are very very safety and you don’t need to have your guys get hurt if something stupid happens

Buy a volvo Andy. Looks a nice area round there tho .👍
in English and French we call it a Lemon.
One of thouse days. Have a good day Sir.
I don't envy you with all that crazy traffic!
Martin farm truck in Greencastle ,pa has the twin to your freightliner !!
Love your video as a farmer. I trade that piece of s*** off.!!

Married to it at this stage 😮
just a normal day at the farm....
You have nice police officers. Some want it moved now.
Doesn't matter what they want.

Yep, ... seems like it's time for somebody else to own that turkey.
Well... at least it made for a good video. Definitely a good thing to have that service truck - it is earnings its keep. You are certainly better equipped than most to handle these type of problems. BTW, have you stocked the service truck with some pylons yet?
That's a bad section of road to have anything happen, no matter what time of the day it is.

Peterbilts sure are not what they used to be!
Unfortunately not much is nowadays
Most vehicles aren't
Neither is this piece of KW I drive.
@@mrfix3474PACCAR owns both and ever since they bought each out the trucks are junk. It's a sad state when International ( Navistar) have become the best trucks on the road in the last 5 years 😂😂
when wheels turn things break
Just another one of those aggravating problems that f up your day
Was it engine trouble or electrical/computer issues?
Remember the good all days when you didn’t hack computers on trucks and you gotta work that shit out of them
No More PAC CAR Crap. That truck is a money pit. Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
Sounds like you might have to get another Freightliner auto shift.
some times you just get a Friday evening truck or car and there comes a time you have to just cut your losses
Towed a lot of them Petes in that year frame, it needs to go to the scrap pile.
😊
I have a red tractor that acts like your Peterbilt. I’m into to deep now. Sits most of the time while the green ones pick up the slack
😂😂😂 that's hilarious. My brother's 6155R is now and it's 3rd engine and it's got less than 700 hours on it. Deere are junk ever since R series cane out.
It might be time to part ways with that truck
Can't believe the amount of traffic for a two lane.
So do you think it’s an electrical issue with the harness or their work installing it?
looks like the busiest hwy in NY state
Andy go see the swap welkee farms did on there rig. It sounds like a winter project. Just what you dont need i know.
Thats a older truck with no emmisions to mess with and lot lesss electronics !! i do like that truck tho
Would cost you more money to swap this truck than the truck could ever possibly be worth, you could go buy another one for less you have to change all the ecu's over write computer programs change sensors change wiring harnesses. Be a $40k project not even close to worth it.
you need to find a used wrecker to add to your fleet
Another piece of equipment to maintain, license, and insure... to sit. Somebody needs to have like a towing business. That's all they do is tow stuff.
i drove a truck for many years . had to take the trailer i was pulling to a shop to get an airbag replaced and thay had 15 peterbilt setting out front that had auto tran, and thay said thay had stop payment on thim so peterbilt would come and get them , thay would not. every 50 mi the tran went out on them . his drivers were driveing freightline and volvos.
I hate that you have to deal with crap like this Andy !! Take your loss and trade it ?
So ... Peterbilt is a gonner huh?
Got a 2008 Kenworth with Cummins engine not reliable at all. Always in the shop when needed to be working
Buddy of mine has about 20 trucks he will not own an ISX Cummins older than a 2013. That's when they finally got the problems fixed.
That was a quick peek at your father and I’m pretty sure I’ve met him thru one of my grandfathers verion Gaylord or Brad pierce
Does Alex know you took her truck?! Glad I'm not you......
It was for her grandfather, she won't complain. 👍♥️
Scrap the caddy Clyde
Bout time for it to go down the road by the sounds of it.
Be better off hooking up one of those electric bikes😂
Your time is valuable. Often times it is much cheaper to bring in someone else to do things when your time is better spent on the more important tasks that can't be delegated.

You must have a spare CAT out of something to stick in that thing ?
The problem with these trucks is all the ECUs and sensors have to be swapped and computers over written to swap engines to something other than that piece of crap Paccar
Time for the PacCar to pack it in and go to the retirement yard and allow grass and weeds to grow around it. Time for another Bull Dog or Freight Shaker😊😊😊😊
Good luck with it hope it works out well
These new trucks are a pain in the ass and a money pit .
👍👍👍👍
Busy piece of road to run out of power. ;) The freightliner does better & has a nice stance. *knock on wood
What engine is in the Frieghtshaker a Detroit?? I think he said in the video showing when they got the truck but I forget.
@@Otherrandomguy42 If i remember correctly its a Detroit dd13.
Too bad looked like a great truck when you bought it
are you done cutting wheat

I think you need a Peterbilt tattoo so it will not breakdown. A KW tattoo make work as well.
Man that sucks.

Buy the trailer get the truck free.
