 Every good morning starts with a weasel. Absolutely. We're still in a hotel. We should be getting the truck back today though. So yes, another day in the motel, but we should be out of here. First thing, come on morning, maybe even tonight yet. The truck is supposed to be ready today. I told them I've only got this motel for another night and then after that, what is going on with my beard? I don't know, I'm thinking, you know what, I'm just going to shower. That'll fix it. But after tonight, this whole hotel is booked for some reason. Tonight's a Monday, so tomorrow's a Tuesday. The whole hotel is booked on a Tuesday for the rest of the week. So some sporting event must be going on or something must be going on around here. So after tonight, I don't have a place to stay. I'll have to, you know, look around for other places, but they told me that my truck will be ready today yet. So hopefully I won't have to go and scramble to try to find another hotel to stay in tonight yet, because that would be inconvenient. Let me get all showered up here and then update you on everything that I know. Alright diesel, it's time to go get our truck man. They say the truck's ready to be picked up. We're about to walk over there and pick her up. It's at 8.30 at night, so I got no load for tomorrow yet, but I do have to check out of the motel tomorrow morning. I paid for tonight, so I'm going to sleep in the nice comfortable hotel bed tonight yet, then tomorrow morning we'll go and get our trailer from Volvo's yard and wait for a load. Hopefully all my problems are fixed. Hopefully all the problems are fixed. Let's go see what the damage is. I'm not looking forward to that part, but I am looking forward to getting my truck back. Alright diesel, alright, come on. It's time to go get the truck. You're not just doing it. Okay, let's do it. It's about a half hour walk. I hope you guys can see this. This is the palm tree I was talking about and the fake grass. Told you, palm tree and fake grass in Canada. How about that, eh diesel? I was lying. We got palm trees up here. So I just got my truck back. We'll go over everything in the morning during daylight of what they all fixed, but we're about to start it up for the first time. Diesel's already in here. Diesel, my heart's racing. Here we go. No engine light. No other lights. Gonna wait for the air dryer to pop off. Okay, we're waiting for that sound, right? As soon as the air here gets up to 120. Wait for it. The air dryer is working good. I'm a happy man. I'm so happy to have this thing back. Put my battery lights on. My battery light just came on. And it went off. And it came back on. Oh no. No, no, no, no. And it went off. Is it gonna come back on? Looks like it's staying off. Let's check my battery here. This goes for my gauges. Battery. It's getting 14.2 volts. I don't know if you can see that or not. I'm asking about that battery light and oh, there it is again. I'm gonna go and ask them about that before I leave here. Alright, so that was an easy fix, thank god. They put a new alternator on here, right? I'll go over all the things we got new, but I'll do that in the morning once there's light out and I can show you. Oh, there's the air dryer again. Working good. They replaced my alternator and when they had replaced the two wires that connect onto the alternator, look exactly the same. I guess they had taken the alternator off, went for lunch or coffee, and then came back with the alternator back on and the wires got mixed up, which isn't a big deal, but it just causes the battery light to come on like that, flash on and off. They said if the battery light were to stay on, we'd have more of a problem, but since it was flashing, that's all fixed now. It's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I'm a happy trucker. Wish me luck. No more problems for a few months. I need to pay this back. Let's go back to the hotel. I'll talk to you guys a little bit more there. Don't judge me. I need something to pick me up right now. And I can't have a beer, so I'm gonna have a Pepsi. I gotta work early in the morning. So, Pacific Coast Heavy Truck Group. Great people there. I would recommend any of you if you need work done. They're located pretty much at the border of Langley and Surrey here in British Columbia. I still call it Vancouver, but let's go over what we all did. We'll go over the cost today and I'll try and show you as much as I can tomorrow once the sun is up. I already have a new load. I lost the load that I was supposed to pick up today, but I got a new one. Gotta pick it up tomorrow. And it goes to Calgary as well. So we'll be able to test this truck out over the mountains tomorrow. Okay, so the original thing I brought it in for is called job number one, was the air dryer. So, air dryer replacement. Air dryer. Let's see. What did they say? All connector and airlines removed and replaced air dryer assembly cleaned with thread lock installed fittings. Notice corrosion on pin in connector. Removed one pin, re-pinned. The air dryer itself, remember we're all, we're talking Canadian dollars here right now. So for the majority of you Americans watching, these prices sound a little higher to you. Take like, I don't know, 10% off for something for American. Okay, so here we go. The air dryer was $417. The cable terminal another $29. So the total job there for the air dryer came up to $765.03. The next job was, what is this? Air leak. I told them to check for any air leaks on my truck. And they found one air leak that said, use pneumatic inlet to put air into tanks till air dryer purges. Spray down all airline components found trans 90-degree fitting leaking and compressor pneumatic inlet brake air valve out of seat. Re-seated does not leak anymore. Replaced trans air fitting that's the transmission air fitting inlet built air, re-sprayed and checked for leaks, no leaks. So they fixed those air leaks for me about a labor $159. That little part that they needed was $40 total of $199.19. The next job that they did on the truck when I brought it in, my TCS light was on, checking advice. They said hooked up to Bendix saw the steering angle sensor red 360 degrees at zero-degree position recalibrated. So they had to recalibrate my steering angle sensor. Cost $159 in labor. That was it, no parts. Stay with me people. Grab a coffee. We'll be here a while. The next thing job number four engine light was on. Check and advice. Diagnose. This is quite a bit here. Okay, checked and printed codes found a lot of codes active on all control modules. Most are losing communication or related to data link. Diagnosed active NOx code. CBR applies for this code. They're speaking French to me here. I'll just keep reading. Need to run NOx conversion. Truck won't start. Checked schematic for HD OBD connector. I hope you know what I'm talking about because I don't know what that is. Both DL1 and DL2 show 60 to 62 OHMS of resistance. Checked gear selector connector. Also not communicating. Pins are clean and intact. Notice engine harness missing loom at front end. Wires did not look rubbed through. Did not look rubbed through. Battery charge is 10 volt. Put on charge performed complete shutdown on truck with night switch and restarted. Laptop. Hooked up to PTT and all indirect codes were removed. Unit now detected N and allowed me to start the engine. Engine started but started to develop a loud fuel knock. They didn't tell me what. Notice DCT cylinder. One fuel injector offset. Learning code is present inactive of 24 counts. Removed turbo actuator and started truck. Runs great. Removed coolant. I didn't know you did that. From the other day. Okay. Removed turbo actuator. Checked arm travel with foreman. Good travel pinned into place. Followed calibration steps and calibrated actuator. Actuated put coolant back in. Okay so same cool put it back in. So that was a lot of jib jabber. Pretty much what they're saying is that my turbo actuator seized in the shut position. I think I told you about this yesterday already right and that was the process that they took to find that. That was very tech speak. But they pretty much they fixed it. So a filler cap. That was for my radiator or my coolant cap. Needed to be replaced. It wasn't sealing. $42.78. Labor on this draw was $656. The turbo actuator itself was $1,398.51. You guys still with me? You guys still with me? There's a dirty core. No clean core charge. $385. But I got that money back because they sent it in. A gasket. $5.44 so that job the engine light. The engine light was $2,102.73 to diagnose and fix all the problems that the engine light was. All right. Job number 5. Still with me. Grab another coffee. Here we go. Oh, this was just ensuring that my speed was limited to 105 kilometers an hour. They just double checked everything because in order to cross into Ontario and Quebec my truck has to be limited at 105 kilometers an hour. All that this has to do with my radio I think has an hour of labor at $164 that was a smaller thing. My radio was locked out. It locks me out. If you're a Volvo driver every time your battery dies your truck thinks that someone's trying to steal the stereo so it locks the stereo and I didn't have the code and the only way to get the code was to go into the computer and that's what this was all about and while they were in there they just made sure everything was up to par so that was an hour of labor. But job number six all right. AVR and cable service performed AVR checklist on this unit need to replace all four batteries removed and replaced all four batteries notice ground lead for inverter on battery post has very poor crimp after battery replacement finished AVR checklist shows a poor charging alternator battery and night switch connections were cleaned that was so they did an AVR pretty much that cleaned out all of my battery components and all my lines and everything and got all the corrosion out of there labor $397 four new batteries $374.56 so my batteries replacing my batteries pretty much and cleaning my whole system that was $772.06 job number seven inverter cable repair repaired cable by exposing new wire crimped new eyelet connector shrink tube around I didn't know they did that maybe they told it to me but you know there's like eight jobs here whatever maybe more so I probably missed it that one anyways was $81.59 $79.50 and 50 cents labor $2 for a part let's keep going shall we we're at nine minutes job number eight replace failing alternator got a new alternator today removed belt and replaced alternator pulley was transferred and torqued to spec after truck was started noticed vehicle ECU needs maintenance hooked up PTT vehicle code was cleared radio code doesn't was not cleared radio is locked out oh yeah that's what I was telling you about there okay so here the labor was $159 alternator was $431.87 total for this job was $590.87 there's another page this is just the end we're at the end now so the total cost for the last four days in the shop total parts $2,742.47 total labor $2,092 $2,092 shop supplies $167.36 total $5,001.83 and then taxes on top of that total final total $5,263.64 so the majority of the video today was me just explaining how I spent my money that I don't have how I spent Visa's money I gotta pay that back in the next game but thankful for technicians and mechanics that know what they're doing because I don't know I still have to pay for my hotel so remember that's on top of that that'll be four nights at about $150 I think it's $145 a night so that's what $290 for two $580 is what I'm expecting so about $600 for the hotel too so that on top of the $5,200 and we're looking at close to $6,000 in total a little under $6,000 for this week a $6,000 weekend and that's not including my last weekend which was an $800 weekend and that's also not including the weekend before that which was a $3,000 weekend so in total in the last three weeks I spent $5,678,000 just about $9,000 on my truck in the last three weeks it's been a good month a good month it's been a good month for the credit card companies to tell you that much so we'll be paying that back over the next while we're gonna make sure that we keep this truck moving I'm gonna work hard our head's still above water we're still doing fine still got my weasel got my wife back at home who loves me got a good family a bunch more dogs at home yet that love me too got a mom and dad that love me my sisters that love me and that's what's important money comes and it goes and then it goes again and then sometimes it comes back sometimes you gotta work it a little bit harder for it but we'll get it back we'll get back on our feet this didn't knock us down sort of knocked the window out of me a little bit but still on my feet I'm gonna give up I will get back up again and we'll conquer this alright so that's the video for today tomorrow I'll go to the truck actually and show you all the new parts that I can that I can see and we'll go pick up our new freight which we gotta pick up just a little bit east of here and that's going to Calgary so going over the mountains it's that same load that we took about a month or a month or two ago it's that freight that they want washed through that automatic wash so that should be fun at least we got a truck wash out of it right nothing else to say let's go to bed actually let's finish my Pepsi Pepsi makes me feel better I don't care what you say I earned this one we'll see you tomorrow
