She's All out of breath.. Detroit Series 60 air compressor replacement.

[@josephboley]

Love the channel...and the steady at the wheel podcast. Anyone wondering...the steady at the wheel podcast is AMAZING. I strongly recommend it.

[@kenuber4766]

Always in the winter, when things go south Jax! Nice repair. better in the shop, than along the road or a narly tow bill.

[@realwildwildwest]

You got that right!

[@chrismartin223]

You're not only saving money, but also gaining knowledge and confidence. Well done!!

[@jodibrown7503]

Jax, I'm loving the podcast. They're making drive to and from Spokane bearable. My husband has been held captive in the car on these trips. When I told him, unapologetically, that we were listening to a podcast he wasn't too pleased. But he's liked them so much that he's starting to listen to them at home and is watching your channel now too. He said even though he's not a rancher or a truck driver, he really enjoys the content and your way of explaining things that some of your viewers may not have knowledge of or understand. Ya got the Jason Brown stamp of approval. He's a tuff critic!! 😉

[@realwildwildwest]

Ahh that’s great! Huge thanks to you both!!

[@Englishcreekfarms]

Good job cousin Jax. :) Series 60 Detroit are awesome engines. Cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain, and better fuel economy. One time a friend and I both had to replace turbos on our trucks, his CAT turbo was $6000, my Detroit, $1100. The biggest complaint I have about them is that they leak oil. Almost every 60 series I’ve seen has an oil leak of some kind. Not a big deal just something you get used to.

[@rickjohnson8262]

Great job Jax, you're going to be well rounded Owner Operator.

[@jangrahame4891]

My dad and brother always kept us entertained for hours with their stories (dad's started as a milk dray operator pre WW2. My dad has passed on and my brother retired after 30 years. Now my son is trucking and making a good living. He lived in his truck and poured every dime he could into land. I am proud that he is a 3rd gen trucker!

[@gregadomeit4020]

Makes you feel good when you take on a repair like that and get her done yourself. Love the content brother. Take care and be safe. Greg

Just want to mention since I work on semi Motors that if your air compressor completely goes it can also take out the motor by pushing metal shavings into the motor love your videos thank you for going in depth about changing the compressor

[@realwildwildwest]

Great point, I didn’t even think of that! Makes me even more glad have done it.

O yeah... show casing your video with your olight flashlight... I love mine, especially the pocket clip that makes it so easily accessible... Like that ole american express card saying- I don't leave the house without it... keep those big wheels rollin buddy!

No LEAKERS!!!! Very well done there Sir Jax 🥇🥇🥇

[@colebertils7359]

Jax your tips here are super helpful! Growing up in a family excavating business meant learning how to diagnose and repair as many problems as we could on our trucks. Air compressor replacement, for example, on our Macks is a rather miserable job considering they decided to mount it down low on the passenger side towards the back of the engine.

[@realwildwildwest]

Glad to hear that:) thanks for the encouragement.

[@sheryld1957]

I am way to old, but love watching your channel. I can't imagine how helpful this must be to others just starting out with their first cars or if they are in the trucking industry, they have access to all the knowledge you share as it was shared with you by Rooster!

[@AAM_SAM]

Awesome job. I would trust you to work on my series 60.

[@kenmurray4232]

One other thing from an old driver to pass on. Change the filter in the air dryer if possible & put about a cup of methyl hydrate right into the air tanks to help rinse out any residual oil from the air system. This should help avoid any freeze-ups in the cold. Ask me how I know. Good video, two men & a boy to lift in & place those compressors. Thanks for sharing

[@ItsNicolasNotNic]

@Wild Wild West are you able to say why you need to drain the antifreeze?

[@realwildwildwest]

Because there are coolant lines that run to the air compressor to keep it cool. If you don’t drain the coolant, you would have to deal with trying to pinch all the lines off and will make a pretty sizable mess.
