Nascar Hauler Saved by a GOOD mechanic

In the trucking world, there is ALWAYS something to worry about. See if we make it to Louden NH on time...
If you want to hear the down low on my weekly KZbin release, tune in to "the truckers friend". It is a sit down podcast interview digging into things the camera couldn't see. I also respond to some of the responses on the comment page. It can be found on our podcast, Steady at the wheel, along with lots of other great audio content.

Someone at NASCAR needs to hook JT up with some tickets and pit passes to the nearest race. Show the man some love for helping keep the trucks on the road and getting to the races on time!

Thank you JT for keeping America 🇺🇸 Running

[@georgedreisch2662]

Kinda novel to find a mechanic that actually takes pride enough to know what they’re doing, and give a legitimate diagnosis versus just being a parts changer… Thanks for sharing.

[@tanker335]

That cat is great. Hat's off to him!

[@WVD-Dub]

That’s how we do it in the 304…😎🇺🇸

[@Infowarrior-45]

Hey, there's that High Rock Vodka sign on the truck! That's who sponsors my favorite driver, Landon Huffman! JR needs to give this guy a shot in the big leagues!

[@joannehart9624]

Great fun to see all the behind the scenes activities. It really shows just how much work there is to getting all the equipment and people back and forth to each race. It's awesome that the crew are starting to get some well deserved attention!

[@brodienorton7965]

Something tells me JT is gunna be to busy for his own good very shortly. Good help is bloody hard to come by what a solid guy

[@michaelnc4450]

Now that roadside cable fix was something else! Thanks for the posts! 😎👍

[@22LR.addict]

This video series is more entertaining than the race themselves these days, keep up the good work man!

[@thalleshoward3962]

This is awesome seeing the crew in action. You guys work your butts off and it looks like fun.

[@tanker335]

I just found this guy. What a bonus to have a positive person to follow.

[@j.whiteoak6408]

JAAAAAAAXX!! Gotta appreciate the truck wash! ❤ Pride in your ride ❤ There's nothing like having your truck gleaming 😊!!

[@OGRocker1]

Hey Jax, glad I don't drive anymore (retired) seems that the trucks nowadays give "sitting here, looking like that" a whole new meaning ! take care and keep the shiny side up...

[@bsmith6941]

JAX! Great you made it to New Hampshire. I am a born and raised New Hampshirite. I was hoping to go to the race but schedule couldn't do it. Glad you enjoyed your time in NH. Loudon is a great track and set in a great area! Thanks for showcasing us Buddy!!

[@itsbob2609]

Thanks for another “insider” video Jax…. NASCAR fans are seeing so much back stage stuff that most of us never even think about. Real eye opening clips here and I don’t know how else we could ever experience this. Good luck team.

[@michaelsimmons6138]

JT should get some tickets to a race for be a all around good guy that saved your bacon lol Good job JT we need more people like you 🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏👍👍

[@bobberg7391]

the new crap on the Diesels I wouldn't be at all surprised that the lead on the alternator isn't what caused original codes to kick up contributing to the sensor issues

[@deaf2819]

You should’ve interviewed that brother with the fro. As a black man there’s a lot of us black race fans I’m a black race fan from NYC LOVED RACING MY WHOLE LIFE. ITS KINDA like how we got excited to see a black president or black hockey players, it’s dope to see someone that looks like you in a place that you don’t see many people that look like you. Gives me hope. My boy slawdog from the old 24 team was a major influence on me growin [up

[@mohawk2185]

Keep it up and the talent will grow and feed millions

[@markbunge2457]

Love the coverage of the background action.

[@terrygarvin1392]

Great mechanic, Great racing kids. Great hope for America.

[@rudyc2100]

So lucky to have that gig, enjoy it man, hopefully they hire you full time.

[@bamafan762]

I love watching the life of these hauler drivers. I first got my CDL in the hopes that one day I could operate one of the haulers. It actually sparked the interest truck driving in general. Anyways thank you for these videos brother. I've totally enjoyed them

[@jasonhill390]

I’m a mechanic at a peterbilt dealership, pretty awesome seeing everyone of those trucks and love to help keep them on the road. With all the after treatment crap they are bound to have an issue especially if they idle a lot. Awesome video brother thank you

[@jeffreyadams8811]

I bet Dale Jr wishes he could grow a beard like yours 🤠

[@makinitsch9113]

I'm so glad there is laughter....

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Beautiful Chariot you have there! Living the Good Life Jax, I knew this Channel would be Gold I just Never figured it would be this Much. I’ll catch you on the next one, Keep it Safe Out There Sir

[@dlcinmesaaz]

From one driver to another, love your content my man! Keep it up!

[@travisstoneking4049]

I carry a Bosch code reader with our newer truck it’s a life saver and can help keep you off the hook. Thanks for sharing 🤘🏼🧡

[@MRALL4FUN]

I’ve seen in person all the Rigs lined up like this at Talladega and MAN WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SITE IT IS!!

[@j.whiteoak6408]

Hi Jax ❤!! I love all your vidz, but I get that you're an 'old school trucker' - and you're doing Rooster & most of us proud ❤ Your family must miss you when you're away? Lots of love & prayers, From my family to yours, in Australia 🐨 XX 🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸

[@redleader]

The Mech, JT, is chill cuz YOU just made his next 4 boat payments!!!

[@jeffmentzer9186]

Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure Jax!!!

[@bradsnyder-HighSprings_Fl.]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Another great video… thanks a bunch ,,enjoyable to watch these guys having fun even with all the stress they have to deal with on a daily basis …take it easy and Be safe out there.

[@greenbankreptiles]

Is it bad I'm just watching to listen to Weeds play! And to see the fellow bearded brother x

[@Halfstep2024]

That’s crazy with the alternator because when I was watching it where you showed the derate I said “man his volts look a bit low” 😂 typical truck driver looking at another guys gauges for problems

[@kbrown1350]

LOL @ the look from JT - "He was dreaming about Snap-on tools"

[@NickK-ux4rb]

These Nascar videos are great! I love them! Keep it up Jax!

[@MissRailfan]

I owned an 84 Monte Carlo Landau i miss that car. Real Cars made of metal! Are yall hauling cars to Watkins Glen? I got a short cut for ya to avoid US 15 2lane section north of Shamokin Dam PA. I live in Williamsport PA. Little league is going on when yall are heading to NY

[@dandaurora3274]

Love your videos man!! Just total genuine stuff. Freddy is doing awesome with the background rifts!! Keep them coming!!

[@shawnmason5290]

Shawn in Galesburg. I was thinking the same thing about Freddy and wondering about the football season coming up quickly. Any stories on him?

[@pdiddy86]

See you guys next week going through 81/15 to the glen me n my kids will be watching

[@user-gf4ki3pi1r]

Of course JT is an awesome mechanic - he's a West Virginian!

[@ryanfennewald5661]

Yet his business has a North Dakota phone number….a good combo I’d say!!!

[@genegoodman5233]

Jr needs to bring this man to Mooresville to keep his trucks fixed properly so this doesn’t happen. Approximately 3 hours out of home base and everything he fixed could have been found by a good mechanic before the trucks left home.

[@user-lj1ep7rk1j]

We could make that happen!

[@lieutenantdangle3128]

Yep. Preventive maintenance is a must. Even a brand new truck needs gone over throughly.

[@billnalder1017]

THAT was fantastic!!!

[@Largecar2165]

I own a trucking company the engineers that built this new garbage should be the ones fixing it the money we spend for this crap is terribly expensive Govt regulations are a joke on this stuff

[@jandyg]

Another GREAT video Wolfman. So impressed with journey with NASCAR. Prayers

[@haydona1845]

Good ole cummins egr differential pressure code. Common issue these days on these motors

[@Robertmacmedia]

Great video I get suite access to Las Vegas speedway thanks to Boyd gaming 👍 JT great job

[@philliptennis3537]

Great video Jax! Sure glad there is Great people like JT, he is a life saver!

[@mohawk2185]

Issat WeedManFreddy playing the guitar ? You figured out a loophole in YOU TUBE MUSIC USE......USE YOUR OWN PUBLISHED MUSIC

[@robertengster5643]

Real nice to see a classy guy who cares and respects what he does..

[@franker1111]

JT is a amazing mechanic always polite and friendly and knowledgeable about his line of work. As a fellow mechanic I also take pride In my lifestyle it's not just a job it's a lifestyle. Stay safe out there JT all the best 👍

[@realwildwildwest]

Couldn't agree more!

[@tattooRGBharley]

Glad you like New Hampshire.

[@louistoman6322]

Hope you sent JT the mechanic some shirts, hats, and other soverneirs for JRM for rhe fantastic job he did to keep you guys rolling! Those people make your truckers jobs more bareable in the long run. Stay safe and keep on Truckin for JRM and NASCAR!

[@user-lz5gh5rm7w]

Thank Hollywood for picking up where I left off with Darrell. It's good to see someone doing some of the same things I did years later.

[@christopherjohnson520]

👍loud and proud up here in the New Hampshire area, I'm 3 hours away in Maine bro. Cool rig your driving. Stinks trucks should have stayed the way they was in the mid 80's like Orwel the Cabover.

[@lonestar227]

Heck ya! Old school engines all day long!! Miss those days

[@billlavoie7272]

I’m there every year love watching the haulers parade.

[@josephboley]

Hello there bud. Hope you and your family are doing amazing.✌️👍🙏🙏

[@MRALL4FUN]

Max you guy’s are LIVING THE DREAM BUD!!

[@kingjames8283]

Back in 1995 I took a break from road driving to work at a major Freightliner dealership. In the month of May it was common for a few IndyCar haulers to come in for service prior to the big event. I had team Penske with their COE (the chrome and black one) roll into the write-up service bay and the dash was going nuts with all the bells and alarms going off and idiot lights lit up like a Christmas tree. I've been trucking for 37-years and turning wrenches and never seen another truck like that one before or since. In the end after many hours in the shop, loose power cables. The Detroit Diesel 60 series was a great engine but all those sensors and the ECM rely on clean / intact wires and cables. When sensor codes randomly popup for no reason especially on newer equipment, start at the battery box first and work your way to the engine compartment to ensure all electrical connections are good (battery box, starter, relay, and alternator). Only after electrical system is verified do you hook up computer to truck to diagnose sensor failures if code persists. This method saved me many thousands of dollars in all the years I owned trucks. I recently sold my trucking equipment, moved south and now drive dumptrucks in Nashville to finish out my last few years left to work.

[@davidcarroll8735]

Love these videos! Kudos to all you guys! Nice work!

[@blakecorkill2137]

Videos are great and as an added bonus, started cheering on the 8 in Xfinity races just because of the connection. Great job, appreciate all the time and effort that goes into it and hopefully next year I'll get south of the border and get to actually meet you guys at a northern race!

[@TyeWills]

Thanks for showing us random signs and things the first 20 seconds

[@michaelmclachlan4278]

What a great video. Thanks 👍

[@vickiewilliams5570]

Loved having you here in NH please come again please keep making the videos.

[@maxx21147]

CLASS, is a clean truck ! - GREAT 'behind-the Scenes' videos ! (better than the actual racing) Steve / W5BIB- Tired & retired OTR reefer - 1977-2009

[@ernierundall1336]

Great video thanks!

[@bobmoroney3643]

Hollywood is right on the money. Good job. He's single and ready to mingle. Great line....

[@Goose61422]

If I didn’t have a family I’d love your job. I’m a local trucker from Indiana to Tennessee every night

[@Jabows1020]

Don’t know if you’ll see this in time before you take your truck to the shop. But any driver that runs a Cummins ISX or X15, it’s a good idea to do an EGR Tune Up which helps keep the EGR / Regen & Turbo running longer. There’s a guy on YT that has a video that breaks it down as to what, how, and why you need to do an EGR Tune Up on these new emissions motors. The IMAP & Delta P sensor are 2 that need to be changed and / or maintained as well as the cross over tube and some other components that should be cleaned based on mileage. Anyway, the guy on YT that has that video and breaks it all down is Rawze. 👍🏾

[@justinfinch7940]

Gotta love the new emission trucks, LOL

[@beardeddad74]

Another great video! 😊

[@smokeylovesfire1589]

A great and informative video! Loved it!

[@craigsmith8217]

We had a mechanic who woke me up at 2 am so he could check to make sure he had tighten some u-joint bolts. They were tight, he just couldn't remember if he had tightened them.

[@tg9754]

Great video. Good luck at the next race. You guys make a great team. Stay safe!

[@luny_mrg8868]

I love the behind the scenes! I’m so glad I found your channel. I hope next time they race at dover you can film going through my home state of Maryland and crossing the bay bridge! I love seeing the haulers on the road and that’s the only time of year I see y’all in Maryland.
