There's nothing like a Cummins N14 👌🙌

[@wouldukindly8628]

Professional truck mechanic but doesnt take 10min to take the bonnet off to make the job easier and reduce risk of damage

[@thomasburke7995]

Unless you actually work in Australia.. shut it.. the bull bars and bumper are a single unit taking 30 minutes to remove.

[@paulleentjes5539]

Nice job man keep it up

[@benji2363]

I got that same smile as dollar Dave when Johnny was on the Jake brake. 😁😁

Aussie trucking is so unique. Similar to the USA but still worlds apart.

That would be to easy, everything has to be dramatised for tv

[@antonfloor344]

@@cjm2441it’s the whole show😢 I don’t know why they still think everybody cares. Btw. Skip the paint work saves you 30K. It’s a work horse not the Prada catwalk.

[@mtgoat1016]

Just seen the first episode of Aussie truck rehab I foresee another bankruptcy, just as arrogant as he was on the heavy haulage show.

[@robertaus8420]

That engine is cheap, why would you bother doing a rebuild.

[@Izudeen8952]

I just bought it hauling crude oil 🛢 i am wishing on star
