CIT Trucks... Very cool. Rarely do you hear something good about a dealer. Have a great Christmas!

[@jmatagould]

Hey Dan first off I subscribe and watch so I can listen to you talk!! you have a lot of great insight and i appreciate learning from you. I pull a 53' China top and I also had trouble Friday. anyway thanks for all you do and merry christmas to you and your family 🙂

[@OO-xc7zg]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 👍👍

[@briangardiner1015]

When you bought used I'm sure you factored in a little more maintenance for a used truck. I always like your videos and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@MrBigR928]

Ouch on the repair bill😲, but i hope that load home paid for the repair and you still had enough left for a Butter Ball turkey and mashed taters'n gravy for Christmas dinner...lol.

Ran hwy 54 years ago; first time on my motorcycle coming back from El Paso to Michigan and again during my OTR days. Nice stretch of two lane highway. Merry Christmas Dan, thanks for sharing the great videos you post.

Sounds like an honest kw dealer, no break down is good, only good thing is it could have been the 5000. Dan have a Merry Christmas and a properous New Year. Pull toy here.

[@danielainscoe7187]

Sorry I had to laugh when you said NOX sensor. Just had one go bad Wednesday and the guy changing it stripped out the threads removing the old one. No charge on labor for it took 12 hrs to fix. Gotta love being an owner operator.

[@daboo7725]

New sub. Tonight. Been trolling your vids for awhile. Enjoy your presentation of trucking life / hassles and info on your profession. I'm a 35 year career Auto tech / shop owner. It stresses me bad when my truck is down, must really suck when you rely on yours to make a living. Happy holidays n safe travels from Illinois.

Merry Christmas Dan

[@danielainscoe7187]

For got to say Merry Christmas Dan

[@Mike44460]

Dan, just to share knowledge. I have a 2011 Duramax, same DEF setup on a smaller scale. Here is how the DEF fluid and the SCR ( Selective Catalytic Reduction ) function. There are two NOX sensors in conjunction with the SCR. The first NOX sensor is located before the SCR. The second one is after the SCR. Now on my little truck the second NOX sensor should read 10% or less of what the first sensor is reading, if it don’t you get the low quality DEF warning. On my little truck I have 200 miles then I’m in limp mode once I get the warning, not good 700 miles from the house with the RV behind me. I put up with way too many of these codes because people that thought they knew what they were doing did not. So I learned the hard way, in fact I now have a scanner with me so if happens I can tell them what to do, but since it was done the last time by someone that knew what they were doing I’ve been good since fall of 2015. Merry Christmas and be safe!

[@charlesdyer2376]

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

[@johnnance648]

Merry Christmas Dan and thank you for this past years videos. Time to surf and soak up the sun. Stay safe and see you back on the road soon.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for Watching

[@randywilliams4325]

Merry Christmas and have a safe trip home .Sounds like the shop that fixed your truck is a good honest place to do business with and deserved a shout out .

[@dstallard5673]

I bought my truck used also. Put $9000 into it rebuilding the whole after treatment system by the time it was all done. Kittanning Volvo in SC finally got me straight. The leading diagnostic mechanic for the state of SC works at that dealer just a little plug if anyone is having after treatment issues. Got me fixed up and have not been back to the dealer sense

[@fun2drive107]

Dan that code makes sense. DEF which is just NH3 mixes with the NO2 and the result is N2 and water (H20). So guessing that either the nozzle was plugged some or not working or the pump was not working, something like that. As always appreciate your vids and thanks for the one back a ways that you described the equipment you use to capture and post your vids...

[@garyforester1345]

Good your truck was a easy fix and gets you home. Good video. Great deal on a.p.u.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Dan. Keep talking, I learn a lot when you do. How about the KW dealer being where and when you needed them...I believe that you received a Blessing. $900 is a lot, but it could have been much worse and a towing bill to boot. Always enjoy your videos...talking or driving. Take care. I pray that you and Thresa will have a Blessed Christmas.

[@seandibble5727]

The pipe is HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride). Your videos are awesome. I hope you have a great Christmas.

Glad to here it was a fixable problem. Ran 60 from I 25 to Phoenix Friday, no problems till Phoenix. We had gotten a late start so ended up in rush hour traffic! People are crazy!! Anyway safe travels, Merry Christmas, if we don't hear from till after

[@kevinhenry7273]

NOX sensor is the Nitrous Oxide sensor part of all emission stuff.

You do a great job on your videos. You have a pleasant personality and explain things well... That was one high priced Nox Sensor... I just don't understand how these repair shops can charge so much. The only one making the big bucks seem to be the diesel Shops! Just ran 54 the other day! Taking some storage pods up to Park City Kansas and then La Vista Nebraska. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas/ New Year

You mentioned all those plastic pipes were headed to a landfill... they looked like they were in useful condition. I hope they were for some kind of improvements to the facility, and not just waste product.

[@briangardiner1015]

I bet it was for a new landfill. The new ones have a methane recovery system and they use pipes for that.

Why pay for haircuts??? I bought a FLOWBEE hair cutting system back in 1994. It cost just under $100 and the first time I used it, I thought it was the best hair cut of my life. My kids all grew up getting flowbee hair cuts as well. Do yourself a favor and buy a Flowbee...I'm sure there are KZbin videos on it, although I haven't looked for any. Best product I ever bought from a $$$ standpoint.

[@briangardiner1015]

I bought a haircutter from Walmart and I have done my own hair for years. I had a Flowbee but the only drawback I had, was you needed a canister type vacum for it to work.

It's only a owner / operator that is relieved when the bill comes in at $900+, kenny car driver would have a heart attack with that amount, truck operators know that the smallest problem can set you back thousands, anyway Dan have a great Christmas and New Year period, all the best from Australia east coast where we are expecting 40 deg cels (104 deg Far), great weather for chrissy day

I'll be damn, same exact thing happened to me with mine and it did derate down to 55mph, I have a dd15 so I hit a off ramp and crossed to the on ramp and did a forced regen but red light went off and amber light stayed on then had full power, my code also bad def fluid and I delivered and eased it home and 1hr before I dropped my wagon and went home my amber light went off and have no codes lol, kinda weird

[@dn52n56]

Hi Hope that ur Xmas was great. This is the first time that i seen your dog withyou. What type is it? That def is crap, they wanted to do that with our marine engines, but most owners told em that we won't buy your engines so they decided to exclude the marine side, and that those engines give off way too much heat for a boat. Really glad that we don't have to deal with that. My brother still does. He hates it. Just another cost

Awesome ! It’s well worth it. It saves a tow bill at least , resets the computer of codes until they come back if there is an issue.

there are a lot of youtube videos regarding the DPF system on your rig. i have a bad feeling about that sensor you bought. 99% of the time, it is simply accumulated moisture on the manifold and the mechanic simply cleans it out. when you have idle time. watch some youtubes regarding this and learn how it all works and the common "break-downs" for the system. i am not saying you bought headlight fluid or anything like that, i am just saying that the DPF system is a cash cow for truck shops. also, did you get a core charge for the "new" sensor or credit for the old one ?
