Wind Shuts Down Wyoming!; More Cascadia Hates; Defending Last Video; Rusty & More

[@TruckingwithPug]

People will always find a reason to complain…. Don’t worry about it. It’s hard to find positivity in trucking these days

[@robertclark9]

We are far removed from the days I would replace a headlight in my K-100 with a $5 dollar headlight in five minutes. ‘Ol Rusty’s lookin good! 😎

[@scootersullivan2068]

Oh boy, some people need a life!!!!! Being a subscriber and watching a lot of your videos you are very much a PROFESSIONAL DRIVER!!!!! Not an unsafe a$$hat…. Stay safe with wind clutch n rusty

[@Tyrie3790]

Fr some people don’t have anything to do and worry about the wrong stuff

[@ClutchTrucker]

Appreciate the kind words. Stay safe out there!

[@l.a.raustadt518]

Nothing worse than an empty trailer, icy roads and high winds. As a retired driver out of Minnesota winters are tough! CT+Rusty! ZERO negative comments from us older retired truckers, your our boy! 👍

[@ClutchTrucker]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Winter storm in Wisconsin 39 in plover getting slick. Expecting 5 to 8 inches

[@GeneralElectricCNC]

Hey Buddy, keep the Blood Pressure down and Merry Christmas! Hope the wind dies down and you can make it home to your Family. God Bless!

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Clutch, you don’t need to disconnect your radar unit. Just put some kind of plate on the front of the radar unit housing that reflects or disorts the radar signal. That will cause your ACC system to read that something is obstructing the front of the radar unit, which won’t let the ACC work, but the cruise control screen that comes up should give you the option to operate the CC in non-adaptive mode. At least that was the case for the 2016-2021 year model Cascadias that I’ve driven since 2017. But the 2024 model does NOT give you the option to run non-adaptive CC if the radar unit is obstructed.

[@Roadrunner4447]

Sorry clutch people arm chair quarterbacking from their chair in the living room lol… You’re good ignore the critiques you and Rusty and your family stay blessed keep the shiny side up❤❤❤❤

[@samdillsaver7676]

I came across Elk Mountain Wednesday afternoon at 78,000, then again Thursday evening at 62,000. They took down the restrictions but already had the “Expect closures to light high profiles under 40,000” Thursday evening

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yep. New restrictions

[@edward8369]

I-80 shut down in the Elk Mountains area? That's so unusual 😊 I'm always getting stuck there, especially with a Conestoga

[@ClutchTrucker]

I80 is always getting shut down. In the winter especially

[@danborem340]

I drove a 2015 Cascadia. There was a control/display module in the dash. Push and hold a couple of buttons on it before tuening the key. After the engine starts release the buttons. The cruise still worked but all the dangerous crap was disabled.Hopefully yours has one.

[@ClutchTrucker]

That is good to know!

[@User4622Vp]

Everything you said about the Cascadia is true

[@angeleyes6861]

Things certainly aren't they way used to be they damn sure know how to get ya money for sure MERRY CHRISTMAS RUSTY 🎉 CLUTCH AND FAMILY 🎉STAY SAFE OUT THERE AND WARM 😊

[@georgeesquivel8623]

Hahaha😂😂😂😂OK on seat belt!!!I had to replace the same driver side headlight!!! Yea to expensive,I thought Kenworth parts were expensive tooo bsafe😊

[@libby5335]

Some people haven't got enough to do so they wander around videos critizing everything even when they don't know much about what's going on or have the details! Hang in there! You do a good job! Been across Wyoming a time or two when high profiles had to park for a while. Fortunately we were okay because we just had the pickup. 80 and 25 sure look different when you truckers have to park! Safe travels & good loads!

[@ClutchTrucker]

Thanks! Wyoming winds can be tough

[@metalgeartrucker4574]

I have an earlier 2018 cascadia. I can still change the bulbs. I do hate the "safety" features you mentioned. My radar needs replaced so those are off currently. $4000 to replace that radar.

[@ClutchTrucker]

Rediculous

[@pcap2700]

It's absoutley ridiculous you just can't replace a bulb anymore

[@rondolan6457]

That would be to easy can't do something that makes sense

Aw man I was there too in Wyoming!! But I was 50,000lbs so I ran it too rock springs

[@mikealdrich7279]

Everything you’re talking about is why i switched from a cascadia to a 2005 W900. Although I did just drop $600 on glass watermelon fender turn signal/ parking lights!

[@ClutchTrucker]

I can imagine.

The sleep deprivation from the wind gets old - our house was so noisy all night. Now the sun's out - but... it's no man's land out there. It's been a big wind storm. Stay safe.

I have the same issue with my cascadia seat belt light because the little wire broke in the same part. I just deal with it instead of paying to have fixed, not an issue

Yep. It’s not a big deal.

That’s a lot of wind that really blows. I see your future is getting brighter.

[@SJGINC]

The newer the truck the more plastic. My company got a new truck, the interior lights don't come on when you open the driver's door because the switch broke. The truck came that way. It's an international truck/chassis with a tank added by Wabash in Canada. The design sucks, the workmanship is horrible. There were so many little things wrong.

[@l.a.raustadt518]

Plastic parts, def and automatic tranny's suck. Old school rigs the best there was!

[@Overtime-Trucking]

I just upgraded all my lights on my Coronado to halo LEDs all 4 bulbs and brackets $250

One time i bought a new 379. The freight liner century was the same price.

[@ClutchTrucker]

Ouch

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Clutch, what year is your Cascadia? Because until I had to swap out my 2021 for a 2024 this year, I used to be able change the headlight bulbs individually. I’m wondering if your truck had an accident that required the hood and/or headlight assemblies alone had to be replaced and the dealer’s repair shop replaced it with the replacement hood that has those sealed headlight units.

[@ClutchTrucker]

It was an option in earlier Cascadias. And Maverick bought that version. This is an old Maverick truck

[@nathanielgriebel9967]

I have the same problem with my Freightliner brand. New 2024 headlight went out. Luckily it was under warranty

[@ClutchTrucker]

Cool

[@Thetruthalwayshurts]

I just went back and watch the last video to see this whole “SEAT BELT GATE”!! And in fact at 2:03 the suspect Clutch Trucker moves his hand to indeed show the orange seat belt on and is resting on the middle of his arm. Therefore, I find the defendant NOT GUILTY!!! Of not wearing his seatbelt! Your Velcome!!

[@ClutchTrucker]

Thank you so much!

[@yesidrive]

Reset the fuse for the headlight first The headlight sometimes not working or flickers reset the light works perfectly Don't use the brights that will burn them out My seatbelt I run loose also it's messed up my neck

[@thomasramey9007]

Clutch Merry Christmas to you and your family. All the manufacturers are making these trucks so you can do nothing but bring them to them for big bucks. The new Pete's have to be reprogrammed when you replace a headlamp.

Dang Clutch i need to buy you a snicker bar. I respectively have disagreed with a lot of your decision the last year and a half but I can totaly agree with how complex and aggravating what used to be simple is now difficult. Read the tea leaves your industry is squeezing out the small operators. Best luck brother.

[@kentdowdell8956]

To add to the Freightliner rant-I've driven a 2020 and 2024 Cascadia and both trucks eat up steer tires. the tires start cupping on either shoulder of the tires. I don't believe the company set the steering geometry correctly. I also don't believe they know how to make a leakproof windshield gasket. Every time I go through a truck wash, the interior of the windshield has to be wiped down.

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yep. My windshield leaked after last truck wash

[@Goal-2-Go]

What year is his cascadia?

[@ClutchTrucker]

2018

[@superoffended6737]

I would duct tape a sealed beam before I paid a G on a headlight. I despise the new Cascadias too.

[@mumblesbadly7708]

Clutch, you shouldn’t put so much slack in your seatbelt, as that much slack would allow you to lurch too fast forward before the shoulder strap hits your upper body, worsening whatever damage the impact with the shoulder strap imparts on your upper body.

[@ClutchTrucker]

In a big truck. The biggest problem is your body leaving the seat. That is still low and tight

[@pcap2700]

Hey clutch tough decision to buy a newer truck but all the problems u had with it this is just me I would have kept the Coronado and put the money into it instead of the cascadia it's a much more reliable truck and customized just for you but that's just me

[@JohnHallgren]

Part of the issue was that he would have been out of work for extended time period to get inframe done, plus he could get a tolerable loan for newer truck but not for the engine work, as I understand it.

[@pcap2700]

@ don’t know what he paid for the cascadia but an in frame today is around thirty five thousand and should probably take about a week and the cascadia has about 670,000 miles on it about which is about 300,000 short of the cascadia get where I’m going here another 300,000 to catch up to the cascadia he’s lucky he didn’t have to pay for the one box I’ve would have rebuilt the Coronado and have a much more reliable emission free truck again that’s just me

[@JohnHallgren]

@ and another thing I forgot to mention was that based on higher MPG even with DEF, he calculated that his cost per mile would be enough less to help make it more cost effective. I believe he had said the inframe would have been at least a month or more, possibly because of limited resources in his area.

[@pcap2700]

@@JohnHallgren that might be true but again I would take a permission truck any day of the week especially he already has one I get it with the maybe 2 extra miles maybe he might be getting but there’s always emission problems with the newer trucks and it’s pre Eld !

[@JohnHallgren]

@@pcap2700 it’s been too long since we talked about it but I thought it was maybe about $1000 a month he might save due to mileage difference. Which, if true, certainly would be a factor.
