Phase 2 Is Complete! I’ve Never Seen A Truck Setup Like This!

Phase 2 of the Western Star is done! Tim at High Mountain Diesel Repair built me a VERY custom dual pump PTO system for the ‪@SeriousTrucks‬ and got it done in time for its surgery appointment that's coming up Monday morning. After that it will be a completely different truck and the whole plan I've put together with that extra long truck, the very specific trailer I bought, and the final piece, will all come together to complete the puzzle and explain why I did things the way I did. After that, the only major change I want to make to that truck is the addition of the ‪@onspotnorthamerica22‬ Automatic Tire Chains. Those are easily the most useful and practical modification I've ever done to the rollback, and I don't ever want to have another truck without them.
Now speaking of the rollback... We know what the problem is, and now we just have to figure out why it's doing it. To say that the dealership it was at is an absolute joke would be the understatement of the year, and their complete incompetence cost me the sale of that truck. I finally went and just took the truck back from them and will deal with it myself, but unfortunately I haven't had time to even mess with it since then so it's still just sitting.

Casey is a thinking man! To contrast, look at the bloated HeavyDSparks; money everywhere with no focus. I love the thinking man that shares his vision with us (the unsuspecting public). Smart, not superfluous.

[@J.R.in_WV]

Sparks got rich off TV money and D-bag kids with smoke belching mall crawlers ordering crap from them. Generally I HATE the EPA for all their BS they’ve done to Diesel engines and the way they put the screws to decent, hard working people but I have to admit I wasn’t upset at all when they slapped a 7 figure fine on the Diesel Butt-bro’s a few years back.

[@archerguy74]

If you have someone that can hook cummins insite to the truck and run the EGR turbo test you can find out the health of the system very quickly. No idea why a dealership would “take it apart” I have about 30 of those engines in my fleet. They either work or they don’t. That VGT has mechanical arm and cannot be reinstalled wrong like on an ISX. What I have seen more than once on a loss of power issue like yours where it doesn’t engage under a load is the differential pressure sensor tubes on the intake are restricted or plugged giving the air pressure an incorrect reading for the requested vein position and fuel. They are the two hard line tubes that come off the EGR cooler and go up the pressure senor just next the Venturi on the intake. Take them off (11mm) blast them out with compressed air and brake clean and slap the ‘em back on, free 15 minute fix.

Damn Casey , 50-4 sure has been a huge pain in your butt. I am glad that you're on the right track now with the trucks running issues. It does sound like either a ECU that is not functioning properly or maybe a input sensor that is no longer working. Wishing you all the best with getting that straightened out!

[@L3Dhelpguide]

Bad sensor was my initial thought. Ecm failure is a lower probability in my book. But I'm an internet expert....lol in that I have 0 expertise in this exact situation......😂

[@davidmayer7511]

Or the wiring/ connections to the sensors. Given the problems you’ve had with the folks that worked on that I’d look at sensors/connections very near where they might’ve been looking around. Is it throwing any codes?

[@Constabruity]

In my mind, it’s gotta be related to the work the shop did. But idk.

You’re doing a good job keeping the secret, it’s either going to have , winches or a crane 🤷🏻‍♂️ you said you will still be able to tow trailers so I can’t see it with a roll back bed

One thing I've noticed about you is you're always looking for the what-ifs and planning to achieve the best outcome for it. Heavy Duty winches and or knuckle boom .

[@wendy833]

I'm thinking a rotator with stabilizer feet will be added. A nice head rack and some flashing lights on top of the cab or big spot lights.

[@bobbobby1846]

50-4 truck might need a calibration update or double check to make sure the parts are correct for the years and motor. everything is so vin specific nowadays.

[@-RyN-23]

Again ima say i think its going to be a extending crane or maybe a winch, Like machine moving trucks have that fold up behind the cab, still sticking with my guess!

[@rnreajr9184]

Good to know that there isn't serious mechanical damage to the engine. But what a bummer when control systems peter out that take a rig out of service, especially when so many mechanics don't really understand the newer systems but won't let you know, and just play stink-finger the whole while.

[@AndyFromm]

We had a few ism's of the same vintage as your rollback at my last job. We had non stop trouble with the turbo/egr systems. The dealer would just throw parts at the trucks but could never get them figured out... driving one of them for years I can understand the frustration 😢

Best arguement for a headboard is to put lights on - tail, brake, turn etc can all be mounted behind the sleeper compartment on the headboard - gives best visibility to other drivers too - just reversing, clearance and work lights at the back plus reflectors

[@jebbarr2763]

I am fairly certain Casey is going with something like a nrc quick swap & tag axle. Given the jobs we've seen him do with 50-4. Maybe with a removable rollback or roll off style deck as well.

[@SimplexSM]

He replied to me on another video that it's not gonna be a Quickswap

I'd Love to see a big foldable crane on there like Effer 685 with a winch attachment. Dont know about permissable weights of trucks and axles in the US. But it would be a damn good looking rig. Maybe not the perfect choice for what Casey does but who cares If it looks good 😂

[@JoeWoolley-rf5fq]

Hello Casey. Great videos thanks for sharing. My guess it’s simple . With the new self contained trailer with fold down deck the unit going on truck is a hydraulic winch so you can slide or roll heavy equipment on and off the trailer . Instead of a RGN trailer ..Probably in great demand in your area we will see iam sure lol . Thanks again for sharing . Dawn shame your rollback is still down . Good luck 👍👍👍

[@Nailer2001]

Your tribulations with the rollback are, unfortunately, becoming the norm in the industry. Finding people who are mechanics rather than parts changers, and shops that will be honest with you even if they are at fault, is becoming increasingly hard. Troubleshooting seems to be a disappearing art. You have handled the frustration on camera much better than I could. Arrogant ineptness gets under my skin very fast. Thanks for another good and entertaining video.

[@1988dgs]

First, finally. Fantastic to get a walk through of the new truck, sounds like there was more than a little thought expended on that project, after this and the walkthrough of your old custom trailer (thought you were going to buy that back) people are going to accuse you of being good at that. Thought I had missed a video about the new truck but you covered phase 1 being finding and buying it. Good to see progress on the rollback too, shocked to hear you had it sold but can you imagine it going wrong a day or two after the money had changed hands. Good luck with both projects and cant wait to see it finished

Great update on the roll back Casey. It's too bad that shop had to be so fast and loose with a potential customer but a lot of those operations don't look at the big picture.

[@pembroke9792]

A good argument for a headboard would be the sleeper cab isn't going to be made of anything too strong, and having a load break loose and come forward isn't something you want to think about. I realise you don't usually transport the sort of load that can do that but there's a first time for everything.

If you haven’t done a smoke test to see if you got any boost leaks at higher rpms. My father in laws dodge pickup was just doing the same thing and he was loosing boost somewhere.

I had a truck with that same Cummins engine. Had a problem with it thinking it had high exhaust temperature. I had 2 different shops try to figure it out. I tried to figure it out. Finally after months of problems. I was able to get the top Cummins diagnostics guy in California from Cummins come look at the truck. He scratched his head for about 6hours. Saying exactly what everyone said. Nothing makes sense. He asked if it had any recent updates flashed. Yes the one shop did. I showed him the receipt from that shop. Well he checked it. And come to find out that engine had no updates flashed since it was built in the factory 10 years earlier. He flashed all the needed updates into the ECM. Bingo no more problems with that engine. Not saying that is the fox for yours. But something you should check it could help

[@jasonmichaeljimenez]

“I like to make everything difficult” that is my line, god bless

[@steved1681]

Casey, does the turbo issue come on when the exhaust temps climb? The variable nozzle turbo’s can function fine when cold but when they get hot they can stick especially if the nozzle ring in the exhaust housing has cracks in it and or the vanes have dings in them. If you had an injector tip problem it may have done damage to the vanes or ring. One way to check would be to get it hot and then use a blow gun with shop air to see if the actuator moves the arm full travel. Wouldn’t trust that the repair shop says the turbo is fine until you verify it

[@wornoutwrench8128]

I always figured that you would be putting a big winch behind that cab but now I am really curious. A crane of some kind to go with the winch.

Rear redesign must mean a heavy duty wheel lift is coming so you can do tow jobs without bringing along the trailer, deck redesign means a winch/boom system of some sort. Then, the only other truck you'll ever need will be a 50 or 75 ton rotator and you'll be Pepe of the North! lol

I am willing to bet that a sensor just didn't get plugged in all the way and the ECU doesn't know to control the turbo. I still don't hate International any less, I drive one daily that I have had since new and it is literally falling apart. Mine (company truck) spent 4 months in the shop because the TCU forgot how to use the even numbered gears, and in hindsight I should have left it broken because it pulled better that way. Yep, it has the big 15 liter Cummins that can't maintain its speed on I-5 from Portland to SeaTac hauling sailboat fuel.
