Hey hey fellow KZbinrs! I'm at the Prime Inc Terminal in Springfield, MO at 100,000 miles. Going through the Express Bay to get my PM done. That includes an oil change, oil filter change, fuel filter change and a Chassis lube. I also had them replace my Engine Air Filter box.
Watch to see all the in's and out's, plus how to do each step.
How much did all that cost on my 2021 Peterbilt 579 Ultraloft? Don't worry, I E included that as well 😊

[@DinanBMWm5]

75k miles is definitely too long. And the amount of filters doesn’t matter because it’s not about the oil getting dirty but rather the additives in the oil burning off over time. Which reduces its lubricity and overtime will certainly cause wear on the internal parts. Anyone who thinks that Peterbuilt wants your truck to last a long time is kidding themselves, their goal is to make sure your truck lasts just long enough to get past the warranty period. Which a 75k mile oil change interval will do

[@donnharlem9604]

He doesn't idle his truck

[@JJtheTrucker]

I have to disagree with you. The oils that they use nowadays are not the same oil that they used back in the day. Check out the information on this oil, which is what they use. Chevron Del 400XLE isosyn advanced Ck-4/SN plus 10w-30 The oil is still perfectly fine even after 75000 miles. The bottleneck is with the filter itself. That's why they added the jumk separator in order to help the paper filter last longer. And if you think Peterbilt doesn't want their trucks to last more than 4 years, then how do they have a reputation for having such good trucks? They want to keep that reputation so it would make no sense for them to have a whole bunch of trucks failing on everybody after 4 or 5 years. They want the good reputation so that they can continue charging higher prices and have that loyalty from everybody. Loyalty stems from durability and reliability.

[@JJtheTrucker]

And BTW, the question you asked me a couple of weeks ago regarding the eight-year-old Freightliner is the question of the week in tomorrow's video. Stay tuned 👍

[@rout9291]

Put a by pass filtration system on your truck will help with soot removal. It will extend the life of your truck, and help keep sensors clean!

[@jimb8842]

The centrifuge filter on his truck (filter that spins) is a bypass filter.

[@dillon863]

[@scottlambert2949]

Awesome video I have a question about driving a tractor trailer and I have driven them before but not on the road and I want to do that but don't have any money right now so could you tell me how to go about paying for the course

[@JJtheTrucker]

Sure... Don't pay for it. driveforprime.com/?r=PAUJAJ It's 100% free. They'll pay for your transportation to the terminal, put you up in a hotel, pay for your food during orientation AND advance you money (interest free, taken out $25/ week after you start getting paid) to get you through the 2-4 week CDL course. The only thing you'll need money for is the cost of the permit (not expensive), the DOT Physical (not that expensive) and a background check fee that'll be given back to you once you pass the test. Very small up front, very large return! driveforprime.com/?r=PAUJAJ for more info. You can't go wrong.

[@wargator5060]

Loved the video. Why do you use the extra wide tires in the back? Instead of the regular size.

[@JJtheTrucker]

Prime uses Super Singles in its whole fleet, primarily for fuel savings and safety.

I just bought a 2014 peterbilt with 400k miles havent been driven in a year it was only used for local work what kind of service should i do just a normal pm?

[@JJtheTrucker]

Woo hoo! Congratulations 🎊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

[@johnwayne6725]

Hey there JJ hows that Peterbilt and PACCAR treating you? I have 2 comments/suggestions. I didnt hear you mention what type oil your using, is it synthetic, and if it's not, why isn't it? All oil should be drained at operating temperature, and yes i know its hot, but thats the way to do it. When you pulled in, the first thing you should do is drop the plug, then pull the dipstick and filler cap, clean them, then set them aside, and drop the oil filters. Then move on and do everything else while your oil is dripping dry. After your through with everything else, install your drain plug, filters, oil, dipstick, fill cap, and your done.

[@JJtheTrucker]

Definitely synthetic. The new trucks come off the lot already filled with syn.

[@johnwayne6725]

@@JJtheTrucker I know that Cummins engines are factory filled with their approved Valvoline Super Blue, but i wasn't sure about the others. Well good for you, are all of your other lubes also synthetic?

[@JJtheTrucker]

I wish. But nah, they're mineral based. I can get it changed over and not have to change them again for (I think) 500,000 miles, but it's expensive.

[@PJ-uh8og]

[@BW-kv9wj]

What kind of oil did he put in? Was it synthetic? Also. have you ever considered an Amsoil oil bypass filter which filters down to 2 microns of particles?

[@JJtheTrucker]

Chevron Del 400XLE isosyn advanced Ck-4/SN plus 10w-30 I might consider something like that if I were planning on keeping the truck beyond 4 years.

[@BW-kv9wj]

@@JJtheTrucker Unfortunately that’s a synthetic blend on not good for extended drain intervals. Might want to think about using Amsoil. More expensive but will last much longer especially with a bypass filter.

[@billyphipps1281]

How is the crosswind against the truck? Does the wind blow it like it has no body stability?

[@JJtheTrucker]

Depends on how much weight is in the trailer. The more the better. When you're light, you can get tossed about, and if the wind is too much, you can be blown over.

[@JJtheTrucker]

I think it does have a little bit less roll in the wind than the Freightliner did however it's only a false sense of security anyway. It's always the trailer that ends up tipping and then taking the tractor with it.

[@andras8911]

What about pdf filter and computer reset by dealer only every year? 15,000$ every year?

[@JJtheTrucker]

The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) needs to be serviced and cleaned (not replaced) every 300,000 miles (more frequently if you idle all the time), not annually. And I don't remember how much it is, but nowhere near $15,000. Maybe $1,500? Ive had the truck for 3 years now, and never had a maintenance bill that high.

Synthetic, especially full syn has longer drain intervals. Ever heard of oil analysis? That is the only real way to tell the proper interval.
