Cabover Peterbilt Breaks Down Hauling 6X6 Truck

Peterbilt 362 breaks down while hauling a 6x6 Oshkosh. We have her towed and repaired. Only to find the repair done did not fix the problem. The truck dies in only 20 miles. Road Service got her temporally fixed and we went back. After complaining I finally got them to look at replacing the faulty wiring. Eventually, they found severely corroded connections into the main distribution bus feeding 100% of electricity to the cab.
I will say the only reason I let Peterbilt do the repair was I was unable to locate the issue quickly on the side of the dark, foggy interstate while thinking I could be rear ended at any time. It was safer to get her towed away and complain about a large repair bill later.

[@watermalanblew]

Never seen unhooking a trailer be so much work haha

[@elm7666]

Despite the minor problems with your Pete, I would gladly take it over any of those other trucks at that repair shop. The sound, the power, the smell of diesel and the look of the classics cannot be beat. Your videos don't just show the glamorous side of trucking but the trials and tribulations of the trade as well. Thanks for sharing!

I have repaired more corroded wires now a days with the stuff they put on roads to clear ice it eats wiring.

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

It's been a while since I had a call out on an old truck, they only have about five wires but they leave the modern tech with a laptop in one hand & scratching his head with the other! ;-)

It's amazing how just those two lumps of metal can take the weight of whatever is on the trailer.!😲!. And the airbags which have to do the same.!😲😲!. LOVE THE VIDEOS🥰. KEEP 'em COMING🥰🥰. RICH (UK) 🥰🥰🥰.

Speaking from the Fleet Ops mechanic side You would normally not see many Autos in a small company but with so many young cowboys out there you could just imagine the carnage & destruction of a large fleet of locally driven hourly wage earners of Non professional race car drivers cowboys & your everyday show off who figured out you can actually lift the steer wheels off the ground just like on street outlaws with a manual transmission ...so Yeppp...I'm.glad all they have is Automatics leave the road rangers to actual professionals ..

[@TheRoguelement]

Hey young fella maybe it's time to invest in one of those new fangle small engine driven or wetline driven hydraulic units that do all that at the push of a button more less ..I meant to ask you with nobody in sight why do you have that white nasty scrotum on your face ...is they got something in the air you wanna share with your subscribers ? Or you just liked the way that cup feels.rubbing on your chin ?

[@castirondude]

True for over the road trucking, but that's a 6x6 , probably operates mainly offroad. Usually when you drive in deep sand/mud you can't shift a 13 speed at all because as soon as you take it out of gear you're stopped again.

[@ralan350]

The company I work for recently got rid of a truck I was driving which was a 10 speed and put me in a auto not ecstatic about it but around town it is kind of nice other than that I’d rather have my 10 speed

[@scottkarsten619]

I feel for you man. Breakdowns at night are a drag. Good channel. 😊

I had nothing for power. I couldn't wait for the wrecker to get there. I had my triangles out but was afraid I'd be hit even still.

I'd be getting into that wiring, and putting all the ESSENTIAL electrical circuits, like the fuel pump, side lights, and ciggy lighter socket or whatever socket you use to charge your phone up(as the phone as well as the fuel pump is vital) etc, into either a NEW circuit breaker box, fed STRAIGHT from the battery, or, just one of them in-line fuses, just for the fuel system.

Good stuff! Wiring...well, did they get it fixed the second time?!? That was a bear! Hope it was the wiring...you didn’t really say what the final prob(s) was. Thanks for showing the trailer drop process! That was new to me. Hey, do you know the old trucker wallet process...Take your wallet out when you’re driving, for it will save you some back pain. What did they charge you for the final service bill on the Pete? Load delivered! Oh, yeah! That Oshkosh truck was interesting! Oh, cabovers still rule! 🥰 Looking forward to the Cat video! 🧐

[@fsctrucking]

I didn't want to bury the dealer too bad. But it took the 4th time to fix it. They cut me a break price wise though. I decided against putting my rant in the video. As for the wallet I heard that long ago.

[@the.porter.productions]

FSC Speed Shop 🇺🇸Sorry to hear that it took 4 times! Whew! Was it a harness/connector or combination of things? I had a C800 Ford that had the same issue and it was a gas engine. The connector was located right behind the grille and it pulled loose after some time. One of those things you have to deal wit when on the road, huh? That wallet thing has really helped me over the years, even when driving a car. Just have to make sure that I don’t leave my wallet behind when I walk away. My chiropractor liked my story about it. Stay safe, my friend. Porter Dude of Ohio!

Great video but I don't think I would care for that style of drop neck... I had the engine for the neck in the bed of the trailer between the rear axles and that was nice and clean and never failed me... not liking the double hitch idea for me as getting down to the ground has always been a problem for me being all crippled up, thank you uncle sam. I just made it as easy as I could. I don't like the power being able to just shut you down like that all that much as electrical problems are the worst to track down at times... miles of wire and only a few things for it to do but that is just the way trucks are. Behind that dash and to the batteries is enough wire for flying a plane almost... I do joke, you can't even go to manual and fire it back up to get off the road should it happen in a intersection. Bummer trip, I hope fixed now. I really would not want to rewire one of those. Thirty six years have gone by and so many repairs over time must mean a lot of wiring.... great video as I said before, I hope I don't come off negative as not intended..

She's running great now. If I was closer to home this would have worked out different. But as always adversity shows up. It's all in how we deal with it.

You need to put some ramps on the old Pete. And make the dump valve to operate from the dash. But great video. Very interesting. I know what it is like to run an old truck. You have to be a good mechanic and be inventive sometimes.
