Buy yourself an assortment of wobble sockets, and wobble extensions. Makes life a whole lot easier. 🤔

[@joshcecil5892]

Removing the original starter from a 2016 prostar was rough. The bolts were seized. The starter can be removed by lifting the front end and dropping it straight down, behind the metal frame brace connecting to the other frame rail underneath the engine. It can not be removed out the front because of the wiring harness. Remove the inner fender and the outer panel covering the fuel tank for easy access. The brackets connected to the oil pan that holds the wiring harness needs to be removed also to make room for the starter to be dropped. The ground wire connecting the engine to the frame, located infont of the starter was removed on the engine side, just to make it easier. Be sure the replacement starter is a Mitsubishi. Its the only starter the will fit between the frame and engine block. I found that out the hard way. And the 5/8 socket needs to be a 12 point socket. A regular socket wil not fit over the bolt. Breaking loose the mounting bolts and keeping track of what wires go where will be the biggest obstacle. Great tip using a zip tie for the wires. Keep a cool head and just be patient and its achievable 👍.

[@raashonaziz7240]

Working on one now and I think the Incredible Hulk must have installed the damn bolts 😅😅😅

[@chadgee4742]

I see you run through Florida a lot I own a Towing Co in Ocala 4 miles off I75. Nothing big enough to help you but I have a Big Fenced in yard and a stocked garage if you ever need a space or a garage to knock out something light. New fan but have watched a ton so awesome content

[@billping2633]

I like you channel good to see owner operators like you are still out there. It may be be a good idea to put some anti corrosion treatment on all the terminals including the battery's. The shop I work at its a applied every PM we do. Cant tell you how many check engine lights I see that are just caused by voltage issues due to corrosion on the battery terminals. This is for all manufacturers. Can save you owner operators out there some money.

[@kens.3729]

You’re Running the Miles and making the $’s 💰 and you’re able to Enjoy the Family at Home. 👍

[@Lui8111]

Truckers need to hold the line on the rates. Too many get impatient

[@DRTrucker]

I had my Techs at UPS change starters and turbos every 500,000 miles. Had a fleet of 123 tractors.

[@osbaldogervacio3533]

Looking for drivers

[@amigojones5962]

Allison, if you see this comment, please put out some videos for us Cummins guys!!!!!! As always, killing it with the rates Justin. God Bless

[@pyotyrprepka1875]

Starter probably not bad. It needs to have responded screws out back in as it needs mounting screws in to get ground connection to work. Probably whole reason starter won't work. I would fix and keep.It as a spare.

[@coleversteegh1532]

Also needs to put loctite on the bolts not ani seize! Starter bolts constantly back out.

[@lovelilcforever7787]

I see the new wheels love it .U killing the game right now ,Jus got a 2013 Fitzgerald Coronado 45k beauty Fedx ground fleet truck

[@JustTruckin]

Congrats man 🙏🏽🚚🤘🏽

[@resinsoft]

the real situation can be much harder if you are working on a kenworth truck

[@ford7735]

Add a gallon of Lucas oil stabilizer at the next oil change and see if the jakes work better,, way cheaper than 2800 for parts.

[@RunninMiles]

Allison should absolutely start a channel! That would help out tremendously for those of us who'd rather learn and do it ourselves! Another great video, man!

[@unclegreybeard3969]

Thanks for walking us through your repairs. I am not a mechanic but I would bet that the solenoid is grounded through it's mounting screws, therefore them being missing was probably the major fault with the starter system. Glad you got it fixed, keep on trucking.

[@charlesschwab6771]

That's extremely nice of haggai to let you work on your office like that in their lot. I hope you give them a good tip for using some of their tools and that priceless wisdom they give you like, how to replace that starter.

[@dshep7850]

You are a working man as well as a loving husband and father. I really enjoy your channel. It still reminds me of my son and his 🚛

[@bigsleeperstudios8865]

You came right by my house man. I live in Fayetteville off hwy 85. Jerry and Allison are the people to go to! Glad to see you got it. Next time you’re over there give a shout! If I’m not on the road I’ll meet up with you over at Jerry’s. Safe travels

[@ronrundattruck4723]

What’s up JUSTIN I see you getting the works done on the Volvo.. is nice to know your doing your own mechanic work 💪🏽✊🏽keep on trucking brother🚛🚛🚛 BE BLESSED BE SAFE 🙏🏽😇🙏🏽🙌🏽🤟🏽💸💰💴

[@pyotyrprepka1875]

Company I work for used only remanufactured pallets.as it is far more cost effective than buying new ones and we sell them back the broken ones we get with delivered goods. Car better for trees to do this

[@johnshei3155]

i like to make up a short wire with eyelets on each end , put 1 end on relay solenoid & then bolt the other end to the control wire & tape up ,easier to get to than the relay terminal. name the cat, killer.

[@alidahir5551]

Very helpful 👍

[@tw56az]

Fayette, GA is the location for many productions in GA, Fayetteville, didn't have anything listed.

[@sumo3782]

Check and see if fuel pump has been retro fitted with steel push rods. Because the ceramic ones will ruin ur whole motor

[@matthewhansen5008]

Try the starter bolts on one that hasn't been removed before. Sounds like a 22 pistol going off when they break loose. You don't know if the bolt turned or broke, it pops so loud. Haggai seems to be some really good folks. Nice there is still good family shops.

[@jth1699]

Well since your oil is cooled by the coolant and will usually be about 10 degrees hotter than the coolant supplied from the radiator to the engine it is generally always very close to the 200 degrees your talking about. The engine manufacturers try to run the engines as hot as possible due to emissions standards they are the ones pushing systems beyond their tolerances- put a 180 degree stat in your engine - then the coolant going to your oil cooler will be around 165 to 170 degrees so your oil should run about 180 to 190. Then maybe ur Jake's will work right...maybe... the rule of thumb on heat exchangers Is a delta T of 10 degrees.... so the engine will add 10 degrees to the temp of the coolant from the radiator - the stat will be full open to the radiator at whatever your tstat rating is - and a properly operating radiator will dissipate 10 degrees of heat flowing through it... so knowing this will let you know when something is going sideways. Good instrumentation on a engine will let you diagnose most problems from the drivers seat. After working on really big diesels for longer than you are old - I'd put individual pryometers on each cylinder - it would save every serious engine failure due to some kind of injector failure. You can buy the systems that will alarm if the cylinder gets too hot or too cold - you can monitor the exhaust temp just out of each cylinder you can scroll through them and check the temps - what I would do is set the system to monitor the hottest hole - then you would know exactly what your engine is doing - as far as your voltage on your batteries goes that is one of the most important gages on your truck - with your system I'd want to see 14.25 volts or a little higher for a fully charged system when running with no big load on the system.

[@jth1699]

Yep that start solonoid needs to be grounded through its bolts to work right

[@JustTruckin]

🙏🏽

[@jasonredman2719]

Glad u explained the grease on your eye thought u were going for the captain Jack look 😇😇 just kidding keep up the good work🙏🙏🙏

[@bobjames8312]

The first thing to check is the starter relay. At least in my Dodge. Plus the cheapest possiility.

[@kevinhession4068]

Good job buddy, I stop at that truckstop all the time at exit 205.

[@joenero15]

Yea I feel like this bolts should be alot harder to get out and in I know they were for me especially on an old Volvo n14

[@jflagg1961]

I see you were just a mile down the road from me on High Falls Road. Glad to see you're back on the road again.....

[@a1driver982]

Anytime I've jump started my truck I release my breaks, leave transmission in gear, hold the clutch down, leave the key to the on position and start rolling.

[@JustTruckin]

🙏🏽👌🏽

[@gusfc1842]

I remember jump Starting the Mustangs Always have to put it in 2nd or 3rd Gear same with the truck that's cool.

[@MrPjcrews]

Maybe.... a suggestion....... tell us what the jobs/services would cost you if you didn't do the work. Show us what your saving by learning or be willing to service a truck like yours. Love that you do the work but what did it cost in fuel do to the extra idle time versus having someone put a new starter in while on the road. ???? Thank you and keep on truckin but always have time for that beautiful family of yours.

[@JustTruckin]

I’ll try to get estimates bud thanks

[@Coffeeology]

Any man who is nice to cats is good enough for me.

[@aussiesteve2816]

Thx for showing,glad you got the starter sorted, be safe out there👍

[@Kcjones1386]

When I idle overnight im only burning 1/8 tank of fuel. I almost never shut my truck off lol. But it's a company truck

[@darrelstoneburner6182]

I was wondering if it was going to roll .I bought cracked up when you said it's grease not Eye liner haha .Glad you got it starting now.

[@keith3694]

[@mavrick351]

Dukes of Hazzard was filmed in Conyers GA.. I think Tyler Perry studios is in Fayetteville

[@lakesideht8500]

Why you do not show the diagnostic and why you change the parts and how did ya change the starter and put it back on, I like the business aspect of because you show the mechanic side and the business side too,,,,,,keep hustling keep grinding,,,,,,,,

[@michaeldecheck7004]

Time to get that beast making money. God Bless stay safe driver

[@mrcamaro100]

You should loctite the starter bolts...not antiseeze

[@eliseomeza1202]

[@carlosrivas1097]

Burgandy KW 9oo looks beautiful.

[@simongarza3716]

Put new starter in and batteries all good, terminals all clean and.teuck.still.wont turn over. Clicks only

[@digsbyjames7726]

Really enjoyed that as always. Just subscribed as I usually watch on our cable/Internet on the big screen. In regards to your eye...you probably already know this one...try using Vitamin E oil it will act as a catalyst. My dad got roofing tar in his eye and after all kinds of treatments at the hospital all of which didn't work...including using drips. They sent him home (we lived literally across the street from the hospital) while they tried to come up with solutions to get the tar out of his eye. We broke open Vitamin E and started soaking it into the tar/oil dirt and it broke it down. Later when I worked for Tremco making roofing tar, ( I had the fun job of pouring it into the forms, back bent over ) and got some on my hair. Everyone was betting that I would come back with a bald spot, nope just went home and broke open a ton of Vitamin E capsoles and a little patience and show'd up to work the next day with out a bald spot. Try it your self especially around the eye lid. Hope that helps.

[@JustTruckin]

Great info thank you

[@LT.X380]

Good work...What’s the norm or take on a maintenance account? A percentage of your profits to maintenance...Just a thought...doggone expensive breakdowns won’t hurt as much.... My older brother lives in Marietta near I-20 Horseshoe Bend / Cobb County. Again great work and enjoy that Diesel shop...

It’s Hard to Believe that someone pays to have Pallets delivered which need to be Repaired. 👍

[@SuperBighead1973]

Those pallets are made from solid Hardwoods. That’s why they’re worth so much. Pallet refurbishment is a very lucrative business.

[@chevdevi76]

I know its Monday morning quarterbacking but I would have changed that during the in-frame.

[@JustTruckin]

Wasn’t off the truck and worked great then 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@tombrianmurray6459]

Sure that wasn't guy liner Justin you'll be listening to the Cure next only kidding fella you were lucky with loosening them bolts to be had nightmares when working on cars trucks and bikes and always been the last but problem and ended up hellacoiling them nightmare keep going bud

[@michaelthompson6597]

No they put lock tigh on them from factory.. you got lucky

[@road2ziondesign988]

Great video and excellent job explaining and showing the repair what size socket did you use for starter bolts? And how much does a job like that usually cost?

[@JustTruckin]

Can’t remember size but starter was around $400 I believe

[@osbaldogervacio3533]

Think about get my own truck? But I don’t know what a good truck for a start truck for a first for me

[@chrisrice2083]

Been waiting for this i bet you can't wait as well

[@michaelkane732]

nice job

[@timmorris3056]

WHAT???? Sockets and extensions and tight areas??? All you need is at Harbor Freight Tools! A 5 pound SLEDGE HAMMER and a Welder. About 4 Good Swings and that old starter just falls off, FORGET the bolts! Then Weld the new one in, WahLah... DONE! And if you're not sure about your welding skills, HARBOR FREIGHT also sells Ductape and Zipties for the ULTIMATE Repair!!! Make it a Great Day!!!🤣😂

[@turbomr2spyder]

[@diabolicalgaming4876]

[@JOSH-bx5wp]

So there was air in the truck before you moved it? Or did you have to fill it up external

[@MAX999MAX]

God bless

[@polaritypictures]

Do you record the start mileage on the parts you replace? so it's easy to tell how long it's been in use. How much they charge you to use the shop?

[@Daarulaaa]

What website did you get the starter from?

[@JustTruckin]

Think I went to Kenworth dealer 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@fishlips8336]

Did the shop let you borrow their tools and what not?

[@JustTruckin]

Just the impact everything else I had 🙏🏽🚚

[@keith3694]

Why did u turn it off?

[@JustTruckin]

Test if it was indeed starter
