Jolly good show, while driving a London big-rig in the states.... Don't forget to take your proper afternoon tea Laura.....

[@roywilson2231]

Laura - tip for overheating issues - turn your cab heat on full and open the windows - this will help dissipate engine heat and give you a little extra time

[@kevink4914]

In 99% of cases there is more problems with system and turning heat on will do nothing for.

[@jasonstclair6293]

That will work for the one or two gallons of coolant in your car... That one is going to be at least 10 gallons.

[@joefudd]

Yes, that always helps to get by. But that radiator very likely needs to be rodded out, has some stopped up tubes.

[@jasonstclair6293]

If I remember right it's only an 8 or 9 litre engine, and 8 speed trans, pulling a heavy load down dirt roads... it's not enough truck for the task is what it really amounts to. Maybe in the heat of summer when the roads are packed down hard again and it's not so much of a strain on it.

[@user-ig1xo3om2x]

You know what I would love if you have time; a short(ish) of the Pete coming in off the highway and being slowed on just the Jake and gears.

Reverse image. Shoot video on a iPhone with the in facing camera (not the camera on the back of the phone) the default setting is to flip the image. It makes filming yourself easier for most people. What also happens is the images stays flipped in post production, that’s not good.

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

yes! I wanted to get inside the screen and look at it from the backside, but I was unsuccessful.

[@seanpierce7673]

Hi guys! If your truck or other vehicles over heat! A quick way to bring down the temp is to turn on your heater to high and that well drop the trmp of your coolent!

[@major__kong]

If the coolant level is sufficient.

[@Chevyman02]

Not always, depends on circumstances. If coolant level is low, it won't help, other things can factor in as well.

[@pauljones5495]

Laura you are very correct about other drivers. I do not drive semi’s but pulling our travel trailer or livestock trailer many people are very impatient and don’t realize you are heavier than them and it takes longer to stop and take off. Everyone should have to pull trailers and see what happens. No not everyone should but that would open a lot of eyes. Thanks

[@Captain-Max]

You know, watching you load, haul, unload,....and repeat, is just as mesmerizing as watching you plant, pivot, combine,... and repeat. I think I'm addicted to Laura Farms, LEAAD Farms, and Nebraska farming. 🤠👍

[@jezeric]

Having grown up in small town Nebraska not far from the local grain elevator, I had all the smells of unloading corn coming back to in waves of nostalgia watching this.

[@jezeric]

@@BrentwoodFamily Not diesel really, more a dusty grain smell with a bit of sweetness from the corn. Unique in my experience for sure.

Your knowledge about trucks and farming! Your confidence is definitely showing! I'm very happy for you and Grant!

I'm 62 and changed my career from autoparts sales to trucking grain. And yes this has made me much more aware on driving better and safety. Could of retired, but wanted to fulfill a childhood dream of 18 wheels rolling down the road. And home every night.

[@mwb3984]

Good for you! I am planning a career move at age 70 to do something else. Not sure what yet. But seeing your comment stoked my anticipation. Hope you enjoy every minute of it!

[@slwslw5940]

@mwb3984 in illinois the CDL courses were expensive and 5 weeks. 160 drive academy prepared me. Was the old guy in the class, but I kicked their butts learning. They'd say, Ask the old guy, he knows how to answer. I'd would of been on the high honor roll in 79 when a senior if I'd studied like this then.

[@gilbertzaragoza5014]

I am 64 years old and I’m retiring June 1 here at UC Santa Barbara been working out here for 34 years as a senior building maintenance worker I would like to change my career to driving trucks as well. I do see quite a bit of men around my age so I thought I’d give it a try I’m starting to learn how to drive a truck now, so I’m looking forward to a new adventure in my life

[@lifeonthefarm6001]

You guys give me inspiration, I just turned 60 and I don’t know whether to slow down, quit, or speed up.

[@mikewatson4644]

@@slwslw5940 I took some college classes when I was in my 40s. The rest of the class was teens and early 20s. I knew what I wanted and was taking the classes to get to where I wanted to go. They were taking the classes because all they knew was school. I was learning, they were taking classes. When no one else knew the answer, the instructor would ask me, I knew.

[@daviddill4314]

So I like when you bring back a memory for me. You showed one of your grain bins. In the late 70's I worked for one of the largest commercial grain bin erectors in the Midwest. We built up to 105' diameter but the average size was 60' and 90' diameter. The most memorable was building bins to hold a million bushels of grain for Kellogg's in Battle Creek Michigan. Bins built were Columbian and Superior. Mostly worked in the Midwest but we did build a plant in Upper Marlboro Maryland. Glad this was a part of my life. Also I see you are proficient with the "Jake Brake". Time is a ticking on your 1st place finish with Rory at the Off Road Games. Go team Green, Good Luck.

[@greggamandabarkus4235]

Might want to check the air actuator/solenoid for the fan. Should be on the driver's side firewall or the coolant fan temp sensor on the engine. The fan should kick on around 210 degrees and be very noticeable.

[@russellbowman8051]

Driving alone gives me lots and lots of time to think! I'm sure truck drivers think about a lot of tanks and not just their surroundings and cars in front of them. :-)

Sounds like a "thermostat' issue maybe. Thanks for the video!!🇺🇸

[@kellykonoske91]

The three best things... Jakes, horn, and a stick on the floor!!

[@shawnkidman3523]

Try using garden hose and rinse the fins in the radiator out from front and back. In the dusty conditions you equipment is in the cooling fins on the radiator plugs up frequently. Also when your in the heavy pulling turn your radiator fan on all time. It might help. Love your videos keep up the good work

[@bradpogue3448]

Hey Laura not seen you for a while. Nice to see you again that is one of my favorite things to do on the farm luv hauling crops to the elevators. God bless see you in the next video

[@douglashomrighausen9010]

Thanks for another video showing what us midwestern farmers do, in this case of hauling grain, during the year. As usual, I like your running narrative to explain what's going on. I think that ethanol plant was built when I was hauling to Iams on down the road nearby to the west several years ago. Again, I sure do appreciate your posts; and I really look forward to the next one.

[@maxschnoor9687]

In my county a hopper with corn crossed the RR tracks. Only to be hit by the train. Corn everywhere and a trailer crunched. And this was in town at slow speeds. Careful out there!

[@FreedomRock44]

Good Job Laura!!!!

[@marc_Peterson]

You might want to blow out the radiator and intercooler with compressed air. From the inside out. Those fans pull a lot of air which sucks in a lot of dust and debris

Awesome job guy's. !! 😀😊🙂

[@GunneyRat]

and fun was had by all. thanks

[@joefudd]

Laura, the radiator is likely partially stopped up. Driving on the slippery surface and spinning the tires should not ever cause the engine to overheat if the cooling system is working properly. I used to work in a radiator shop for 23 years and I've rodded out and recored dozens of radiators on those makes and models of trucks. I will guarantee that there are many tubes in the radiator core that are plugged with solder bloom, engine block corrosion or bad gelled oxidized coolant.

[@jadroppers]

Funny to see you on the wrong way of the cab, looks like a UK truck. ;-)

[@greghamann2099]

[@genebalinski645]

Looking forward to seeing you at Matt's Off Road Games !!

[@rusty2811]

Hey Laura you should pressure wash the radiator in case it's starting to get plugged from all the dust. That definitely can happen in the farming world

[@stephaniebell8297]

Your guys Peterbilt makes me remind me of my grandpa’s Freightliner

[@Rockinglfarm]

Not very many people understand too idle your engine so it cools down after a hard pull. I enjoy your story!! Shannon.

[@Chevyman02]

It depends, some companies won't let the engines idle too high. I personally believe 900 to 1,000 rpm is best, not only keeps the fan & water pump running faster, it keeps the oil pressure higher.

[@norm-nas]

and it runs so much smoother and the fan spins faster.@@Chevyman02

[@Chevyman02]

@@norm-nas yeap, much higher RPM the engine doesn't run as smooth. Sometimes it can feel like it does when the newer engines are doing a parked regen, that high of RPM.

[@roadrailer1656]

Laura, do yourself a favor. And run the fan manually for the hills. Also, you could check to see if the fan clutch isn't slipping. You can do this by grabbing the blades after you shut it down. If they slip. You may need a clutch replacement. Also, the temperature sensor may need replaced. Farm on girl. Awesome.
