Removing whale fin on W900

X2 on the shut off valves. They will get you out of a bind if you ever blow a hose. You can shut off the coolant supply to the offending heater and put some coolant in and keep on trucking.

if you plan to make it in this business you better start learning to do your own work. That or we are going too start calling you PharmPhail jr

 

JD...I don't recall how long you've been around here...PharmPhail was a guy that started as an owner operator right out of school it appears. He had no mechanical ability, had some bad luck and the deck was stacked against him. He's no longer a driver.
You're right, you're not certified, you don't adjust. That applies to auto slack adjusters. The older ones that aren't "auto adjusting", you can and certainly must adjust those yourself.

Not meaning to insult your intelligence or anything here by the way.

 

bring it here. i will do your hoses for $500


petro is a joke. if you cant do something they can then you should get some mechanic books and study up. you own a truck now, a good set of tools is mandatory. something like belts and hoses us simple parts replacement. take them off, put new ones back on the same way. not much you can mess up. just need a knife and a sceewdriver or nut driver

 

i would recomend repkacing the silicone boots on tge joints vetween tge turbo and charge air cooler right away too. buy the clamps right away since they rarely come off in one piece
