New authority and power only carrier here this is spot on. Don’t take anything personal keep making those calls and stay hungry…
In my shop we keep a few hoses, you can get a hose like a old water hose and cut it to around 3 feet or whatever you like and take that hose crank your truck and let it idle and use the hose to your ear and move the hose around the engine to locate the exact location you hear the ticking noise and then go from there but it’s a sure way to find any sounds you looking
I never used a hose before. I’ve used an extension. I’ll try that hose. Thanks 🙏.
i have my own flatbed,i do some power only here an there.nice change of scenery
Yeah that would be nice
Check the compressor
Didn’t think of that. Thanks
Compressor is a very noisy component on isx. Cam and rockers big issue on isx if you don’t keep up with overhead. Do overhead asap and make sure they inspect camshaft and rockers. My isx was very noisy but the one tap that I always heard was camshaft.
If you’re hearing a rattling sound from a cap check the power steering cap. It rattles and it’s mind boggling on his they can’t make that cap solid like they do the oil cap. I have a Peterbilt 579 with that same rattle
Mine is doing that now have already replaced for same thing
@@user-zt6bt8dp2c yeah I’ve replaced it once and it did the same thing so I just left it alone ever since
Good point thanks 🙏. I was trying to hold the cap and listen for it at same time. I wasn’t able to hear it. I have a bad right ear from so only can hear on my left. It’s much harder to listen for it because I can only hear it from certain distance and angle hehehe
how new is your MC and DOT?
Been open since 2021 but I voluntarily revoke it last year and recently reactivated it January this year.
The only reason im carrying seals is because I ran into your same situation. Needed one seal so I bought a pack of red seals from Love's
Yeah got those same seals hahaha
Power only since 2018
Respect 🫡
I always have seals
You one of the few hehehe. I have them now. I usually carry them because I happen to have some left over.
Nice 😂😂🎉
You’re a good DJ and should make money putting beats together to fund your trucking habit. It’s tough out there
Hahaha 😂 That made me laugh. “Trucking Habit” 🤣. Sure seems that way hahaha. BTW I didn’t made the beats. Got them from epidemicmusic. I wish I had that skill hahaha.
No jobs in trucking or low pay. too many scams out there.
Agree
Digging the videos …appreciate the advice ….whats the song at the beginning of the video called?
Thanks. I’m subscribed to epidemic music. Got it from them.
How long do you have to reactivate your authority if you voluntarily surrender it before it is permanently surrendered?
It stays with you forever is what I was told. I started mine in 2018 and put it on hold about 6 months later. If I look my numbers up on fmcsa it still shows up but inactive.
Yep. As long as you revoke it voluntarily should be an easy process to get back to active. If involuntary I think the process gets a little more complicated.
If you’re thinking of becoming an O/O don’t do it. There’s to many fees, regulations cost of fuel is to high cost of parts and repairs are also way to high. And with the government pushing these strict emissions and electric will push people out. I will say the only benefit is the freedom but now wondering if it’s worth the stress.
