I Drove 500 Miles For A 10 Minute Job.

- I got a call to tow an EarthCrusier that was having engine troubles about 250 miles into the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately my rollback is STILL in the shop and they have nothing more than guesses as to what's wrong, so I called my buddy Matt with Tumalo Transport and he was kind enough to let me borrow my old @bwsmanufacturing trailer so I could go get it. The trip went really smooth and my new @SeriousTrucks Western Star ran as good as could be without even the slightest hiccup. The only almost issue was when I came over a hill and there were some cows in the road. With as much as I'm running in these open range areas, I'm thinking I need to get a @HERDnorthamerica bumper on this truck ASAP!

Back in the summer of 99 I rode my motorcycle from Portland out that way. The trip was taking longer than expected, and I got to the little gas station there in Burns Junction about 30 minutes after it closed. I thought I was going to have to ride back to Burns. But a kind hearted little old lady that owned the place came out in her nightgown and robe to unlock the pump for me. We need more people like her❤ and Casey in this world!
There’s a testament to your style of filming, you take a routine boring job such as this one and yet I still find myself watching it all the way through because of the way you engage the audience. Stay safe and keep putting on those accident free miles
Well it looks like your Western Star is running well ! Hopefully the shop has the right diagnosis this time for your other truck. That was a nice relaxing drive , thanks for taking us along Casey! 👍
I absolutely agree about DEF systems. WHEN they work, they work well. When they don't work and leave you sitting next to the highway, they suck!!!
Not to mention , the stupid stuff freezes easily
I was sure happy when we got the whole DEF system deleted on our 2014 Dodge. As soon as it passed 160,000 kms. (Warranty period ended.) it started using DEF like crazy. We got the system deleted and the cat all knocked out of it. We got a big boost in power and fuel mileage. The silly thing is, when the DEF cycle starts, it pours more raw diesel into the burner to make it work, so there goes your fuel mileage. The DEF was more expensive than the diesel, per litre.
@@georgevindoAlmost like it was meant to do that haha
They do sell DEF in bulk at most truck stop fuel stations to pick your DEF fill-up spots wisely. Most trucks can go 3-4 plus fill-ups without DEF. And for the record, DEF has a lot chemically in common with human urine so there is that.
DEF engines came out the same year I retired so lucky for me.
An episode of Casey and snacks do stuff😎 Kind of would’ve been nice to see the Earth cruiser outside and maybe inside
Did the owners rent a car to drive themselves back to Bend?
You made a lot of good choices when you spect that trailer and only after working with it you found a few minor items that could be changed to make it better. The fact it’s still in use by your buddy still not changed speaks volumes. Perhaps one day not far off you will have another with the improvement added to your fleet
Hope they can get your rollback sorted out soon. Looking forward to the build out and capabilities of this truck
Wife and I stayed at a Burns. Oregon motel one night, years ago. Sign INSIDE the room stated, "NO washing of motorcycle parts in the sink."
I love burns and that whole area down there. I know the weight station quite well too! And you were kidding about the free range cows. When I hauled Milk in Arizona, We had 2 accidents on the same range because of hitting cows. 2 top spec T-800's :( And we had to buy the rancher new cows on top of repairing both trucks.
You drove right past my childhood home in Burns.
Across from the cemetery.
Hey Casey, hello from the Netherlands. I love your channel and the stunning scenery that is your office. Planning my next USA road trip and making sure to include central Oregon in my itinerary. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hope the new truck works well for you. Glad to finally have a new video.
Appreciate you talking about the DEF. I watch a Minnesota farm channel and they use it but never explained why. I guess the guy assumes if you watch a farm channel you already know. One of the things I really appreciate about you, you share your knowledge and wisdom but are never condescending about it. 👍💕
Thank you!
Best cinnamon rolls I have ever had were at Burns Junction when there was still a cafe there. Long trip for sure
We still talk about the awesome sourdough pancakes we had there years ago!
The EarthCruiser was definitely out in the middle of nowhere!! You do a find job of making something simple and easy entertaining. Glad your truck is running like it's supposed to!!! Makes life so much nicer!! LOL!!
So glad my truck doesn’t have to have DEF. I like your truck. I like to see the road side.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I hauled a hay elevator once to Nevada from over here near Newport Or. , on my way back i stopped at the cafe store were you did and had coffee,, on the other side of Burns at the burger restaurant, station owned by the 2 sisters, they had very good food, the one sister told me to stop in burns to get some sleep, on my way down, I did and left at 5am, hit the Blue Ridge with ice and snow, hugged the ditch side to use the pea gravel for traction but reached the top as sun just was breaking light, rested for a minute and a few pics. without Sat radio, sure was a quiet and LONGGGG drive LOL.
I'm ready to see the STAR make it's transformation.
Me too!
With Casey, I'm sure it will be interesting.
I had a coworker telling me that he was fueling up one time and this older couple were on the other side. The guy put Def in this fuel tank. Damn..
Very cool recovery. Thanks for the video
Hopefully they didn't run it. If they did, say hello to a new fuel system.
Yeah .. no kidding
Glad the WS is running top shape, even with forgetting to turn the Jake back off (I can't say anything more since I forget my Pac-Brake on my RV and set a code when I have it on and turn on the cruise - definite error message time). Sounds like they have the Rollback figured out, now here's to hoping they have a workable solution for a long time fix for it and you can get things back to something close to normal for a while.
Got to wire in a buzzer to the dummy light
It's fascinating seeing how other vehicles (and I assume this is the normal way) do jake brakes.
The only vehicles I've driven with exhaust brakes are farm tractors, and that's a button that you press with the heel of your left foot. So right foot on the main brake, left foot on the jake.
Makes it a lot harder to accidentally activate unless your passenger is messing with you.
I met that couple at an overland event this summer in the desert. Super nice folks!
Just another comment about how neat the ramps are. Random gadgets make the world go round!
Great to see that new truck on the road!
That's a very nice trailer well thought out from a truck driver that people don't know just how smart old school truck drivers are just saying.
Loved the trip! Cows moooove over😂😂 Monster and Jerky should sponsor you!😎🎉 Catching up on your older videos, love them all😊 Keep on truckin and stay safe out there!❤️🙏
As a local towing company near burns jct we see a lot of people run out of gas between there and nevada, Hwy 78 gets a few open range cows a year hit so if anyone is traveling through watch out at dusk and at night black cows are almost invisible .
Casey a bit of humour....... i think u shoild go to the garage and take the spikes of the rollback ,they could be the problem 🤣😂🤣😂
I really like that trailer 😂😂
Wow, I haven't heard "Burns Junction" forever! Was raised in Lakeview. But until you drive to and thru Denio, you're not even close to the Southeast part of the state. The road with a warning about NO GAS for the next "million" miles. 😆
I have a Ford 6.0 Powerstroke made day 3 of production. It has a Garret variable rate turbo on it. They are notorious for the moving parts in them seizing up from rust. Ford says the turbo is not serviceable and has to be replaced. Some Ford diesel mechanics say that is BS . . . you can wire wheel the rust out of it and then lubricate it with nickel anti-seize (the nickel stuff is the only one that will handle the high temperatures). I have done it to mine and it works.
Thanks for another great video Casey. Your Cascade decal looks good on your new truck and shows up better than I thought it would. I hope they are correct on the rollback's diagnosis and you get it back soon. Nice seeing the new truck and your old trailer in action.
50 years ago worked for Pine Creek Ranch in Drewsy,Oregon ..Every time I crossed the scales at Burns,They issued me a $5 ticket for weight violations.The draw bar between trailers was so short they classified it as tamdom split axles..Got as many as 4 tickets a day. They used to publish your name in the paper when ever anyone got a ticket..
Another fun video.
IvI've been driving 30 years, information you may or may not know, if your tractor has the idle shutdown program and you don't want to pay for the reflash, instead of setting tractor brakes, just set trailer brakes. It normally allows it to remain idling. AC or heat stays working. Just info shared.
DEF is basically just concentrates piss (urea and water) and is considered non-toxic and safe to handle.. The stuff on those wipes is probably more toxic so eating your snacks without wiping would only be the equivalent of eating without washing your hands after you use the bathroom...
Lets be honest, Casey. You just love driving trucks, and the bigger the better. Keep on rolling Sir.
I love those ramps. Totally awesome!
I personally think that the manufacturing process of making DEF plus the the packaging and the fact you can't recycle the plastic bottles and have to dumpster them negates the supposed positive impact of turning NOX into water.
sounds like a oxymoron
@@miked19831988 Which it is, just like a lot of other things.
Short question:
Is it normal in Nord America to buy DEF in plastic containers?
Because in Europe most gas station a an dedicated DEF pump.
I don't want to say that this makes everything more enjoyable but buying DEF in containers sounds horrible.
@@DerUnbbekante Precisely, most highway pumps here just have a DEF pump, much cleaner and easier.
And one pollution isn't the other. NOx is terrible to breathe, which is an entirely different issue than plastic pollution (which is also bad).
@@DerUnbbekante I am sure they could have made the system work better here but between half the government fighting against programs to help the environment, and corporations not wanting to take any responsibility (except in flashy commercials) it was doomed to fail.
Always something new to learn. I've never seen those fancy air-actuated ramps. Very nice! Obviously, that's not a brand-new trailer, so they have been around a long time. Who knew??
DEF fluid is like ATM Machine and PIN number.
Nice video Casey. Your friends Trailer is pretty Kool with the auto ramp!
Your truck is lookin Sweet. Hope the Dealer gets it right this on the Wrecker. 🤙😎
Casey, I love the scenery, it was absolutely mooooving. 😂
Casey I'm so amazed at the variety types of things that you can do with all you're different types towing equipment you have I'm a old jeep guy , but I love all the rigs you have many thanks for these videos you make i enjoy all of them
I was out camping in that same area back in June. It's a beautiful lot of nothing, great for star-gazing and bird watching.
Thanks for sharing!
Good job 😊
Good job Casey 👍
We have adblue in the UK, because we advertise urine in nappies with blue fluid😂 yes it uriea
What a great first longer haul for the new truck and seeing your previous custom trailer in action. Glad the cows got out of your way too Casey!
❤ this show is like the Seinfeld show, it's about absolutely nothing...😅😊
Keep up the good work... it makes my day a whole lot better...
You have the patience of job. Thank you
Good trailer, and good job!
Def fluid, perfectly well said!!!
That ramp is badass!
Ah, I love Burns, my moms home town. There is a dinosaur bone in the local museum that her dad found in that area. It was donated after she died.
Awesome video thank you for sharing. That trailer was a savior for you! 😊
At 4.4 (basically) mpg, that had to be one fuk of a tow bill‼️
my achillies heel is backin short single axle trailers myself lol great work as always casey, sent ya couple of old 30s rigs to ur fb to, figured id might be a neat project ider fer ya
For that seatbelt get some oxy-clean and Dawn dish soap in a bucket of water and soak them over night, pressure wash in the morning and they'll be like new
They are cleaner right now than they will ever be with me driving it. No point in all that
Good work sir
I live in oklahoma. Those def boxes are every where.😁
That's a nice Canadian Freightliner, Wouldn't mind driving that combo myself. 🚛💨
Would have loved to have got a walk through the off road rv...
Oo nice truck keep on trucking my friend
Love your videos, Casey!!✌🐢
Very nice
Your turn signal beep is even more annoying than my Volvo tractor's was. I guess so many people leave them on that the manufacturers felt it necessary to raise the aggravation level.🤣😂🤣
That ramp is really cool. A little scary but cool.
I dont know the plumbing on the turbo for your rollback, but I know of one that had "turbo issues" that turned out to be a small air pressure line that signals the turbo had a hole in it.
Its just a thought.
Great video
The DEF fluid and the catalytic converter it flows into basically pops apart the nitrogen monoxide (NO), one oxygen atom and one nitrogen that got bonded together in the high temperatures-high pressures combustion chamber back into nitrogen and oxygen that air is mostly made of. Hopefully I payed attention enough in that class to get that close to being right. 🙂 I noticed years ago when driving on open range land, dirt roads mostly, that if there is cattle on the road that the cows will turn around and go the other way from witch they are pointing the the steers will go the way they are pointing. I am telling this to make you watch and add a little entertainment to your drives on and off road.
We use DEF in our Diesel school buses, it can create problems if you let get below 1/2 tank.
Your "Air" operated ramps are very impressive.
Just like the long drive between bend and burns to deliver gasoline or diesel, great video thumbs up 👍
Dear Casey
I love the channel and all the comments that you have !
And all the crazy situations you get into😮
The trip to go get your supposable new trailer?
It sounds like you just need your old trailer back?
You know it's capabilities you know it's downfalls.
The only other thing you can do is go get a?
Landall trailer
With all the same specifications that you so desire and want ???
Treat yourself one time get the trailer that you always wanted
Well the perfect trailer for what I need is about $200k. Sooo……. No.
I love that truck man it really looks good lol i think you really made a good decision buying that truck...
Happy Labor Day Casey and family 👽
YOU ARE AWESOME, CASEY!
Earth cruiser is a cool chassis for an overland vehicle...
Thanks for sharing an awesome truck video!! And still A BIG YES to a Earth Cruiser factory tour!! Best regards from Norway!
They didn’t want to do a factory tour
@@CaseyLaDelle Aaawwh.. 😢
The definition of DEF was priceless 😂❤
Last time I went through Burns Juction it was snowing and icy in the middle of the night. I stopped at the closed scales to let the dog out. I’ve spent nights at the station where you fueled up.
I still think that trailer is awesome
I do not miss the nasty black diesel exhaust smell from before DEF.
Like how he gets monsters on every mission just like a truck driver
A college or university in the States did a test on them with students. The "energy" drinks increased their blood pressure and some of their subjects still had higher blood pressure two weeks later.
Yes you are correct but when you have a job to do you do what you need to
Western Star for the win!
Your truck in supper bad ass..
Loved you def comment. So so true.
Got your business name on your new truck!
2:52 lol YEP! It has a plastic straw too! 😜😂
Looks like a Mitsubishi Fuso
Nice expedition RV when it runs right.
Variable vane turbo actuator was a common problem on the Jeep Liberty CRD diesels made from 2005 to 2007.
Larger truck stops have Def at the pumps. Clearly you don’t have that where you live so container def is the option.
Not anywhere close to me.
The Earth Cruiser probably only had a boost hose pop off. 10 minute job to re-attach a hose clamp. BTW, that little diesel will push that heavy box around while getting 14-16 mpg. The new ones may get 9 mpg.
That would be over 20 years ago on a couple of different years/trips that I took the highway 20 from Ontario over to Bend area the first time and thought wow, its certainly a desolate semi desert. The next time I took highway 26 across and a marked difference in the landscape with more trees and hay fields etc. Up here in Alberta people have this vision of Oregon being a treed forest landscape from corner to corner who have never been to Oregon or only were closer to the coast.
8:57 🤣🤣 damn those Jake's some days.
I miss my 1993 3/4 ton dodge, that cummins was pretty bullet proof, and got great mileage as well.
Any time I hear the word “variable” I get real worried…..
My 2001 suburban currently does the exact same thing. Missfire's, run both rich and lean sometimes, hates going uphill until you push the gas harder. But can also hear it flooding too. It takes forever to crank and start up. But once you drive for a little bit and start it up again it fires right up. 289k miles on her
After all the comments on your trailer video maybe you should make some “FM” hats? 😁😁
We ran the DD16's in our logging trucks, I spent lots of time keeping them running. Yeah, the aftertreatment was an issue but not very often we had a truck down over it. Been 5 years since I retired, If I remember correctly the main issue was the heaters in the DEF lines, always loosing one of them and it would set a light. We had the eye in the sky so I could sit at my computer and see what the issue was and be ready for it when the truck got to the shop. Some of the sensors could be problematic too and on occasion had to take the DPF apart and clean them.
The biggest issue for us was the regen, don't shut it off and keep your idling to a minimum, and if it calls for you to do a parked regen, DO IT, don't wait.
I spent more time on the shit suspension system they ran. Neway ADZ, not good for logging.
As for the Fuso's with the gas engines. The coverall supplier that comes to my town tried to swap over to them. The plant is about 200 miles from my town. The company bought 2 of the Fuso's, in 2 months they got rid of them and put the old trucks back into service. Pure junk, about 2 miles to a gallon and always broken. First big hill coming out of the plant and they were on the side of the road.
Be interesting to see what other peoples experiences with the new fuso's are
