      I have never met Martin or his wife Alice , But I been watching them since they started their channel , Like you say these two here very rare very rare to find , He has give me a little advice and myself to him , I have always seen their trucks in and out of Sacramento back in the day

    Teamwork that's what it's all about for owner operators. Just like with your truck Martin when it's done you know it was done right.

    When I grow up I want to be just like Martin, minus the red underware, lolol. Martin you are da man and I have said it a few times. I must add that in my eyes you guys videos are the best out here. So nice to see you guys living a normal life, home every night and just living life the way it comes at you. Hey we all love trucking but it’s nice every once in awhile, step back take a breather. Most people can not fathom how hard it is to truck 3,000 a week, week in and week out. Always gone never having birthdays with the family, the home is always in the rear view mirror. After been gone a week or more, come home, have two days off then back pounding the pavement for another 3,000 miles. Your kids grow up and ya walk in the house and the kids are asking who is this guy Mum. Mean while those pair of a hundred dollar pair of sneakers are on his or hers feet. Ain’t trucking grand. Wished I b lived near by. Thanks for posting Martin and Alice. Have a great and a safe day…Happy trails to you….D..

    As a auto tech we tell customers when we price out a engine we may find additional problems during process. Glad to see your friends green monster back to life. Wish I could meet y’all at MATS, someday I hope to go. Safe travels to all of you drivers.

    Carefully drill out the brass fitting end in the cover till you almost reach the start of the threads then run the proper size tap into it......should fix it up.....what have you got to loose if it doesnt work?

  • @jackball4201

    If you don't give blood to the project, you haven't really done anything. LOL. Glad to see it running. Great job

    I had posted on the last video that I had experience with an improperly programmed ecu on a 12.7L back in the day before we could actually troubleshoot them. Was lucky that a guy had one from a wrecked truck, and it worked until we got a new one. I love these videos. Brings back memories. Also it shows what a great guy you are, and Alice being a trouper for hanging in there and doing the unseen stuff. God Bless you all....

    At least the problem was found and the fix for it is on the way. Too bad about the range selector cover but that fix it sounds like is also on the way👍👍. Greg will be up and running in no time. ECM failed sounds pricey but the builder seemed to know about it and was able to send a new one right away. Great work Martin

    Those transmission jacks need to be refurbished I had a 13 spd roll off and broke my wrist in 3 places. Thats a pretty good job by Martin and Greg to get all that done in a week I guarantee a shop would have the truck for a couple months atleast. Kudos guys👍🇺🇸🍻

    It's surprising a properly equipped electronics repair outfit can't replace the injector drivers.
    Did they build the drivers into an ASIC along with other stuff to make sure they can't be repaired?

      No, they haven’t but they’re able to take a break and getting settled into new home, spending time with family and such, and doing things like this.
