 okay everybody we got the driving shades on you know what that means we're loaded and ready to leave let's go take a look at this load I'll show it to you and then let's hit the road we're going home today these are called mining liners they're heavy pounds each there's two two two we're taking these back to Manitoba someone else is gonna continue on with them I believe they're sort of looks like on the paperwork but my assignment just to bring it back to the yard and go home and bring all blue to the shop let's rock and roll let's do more rolling than rockin though how about that I've got a gross weight of seventy nine thousand seven hundred and forty pounds not too much extra to spare mom my coolants not in the engine right now sort of needs that blew a coolant line the return line from the engine back to the reservoir it was old and just like that that's how I imagine it so right up here let me crawl up here so you'll cool down that's nice so the coolant return line it's a half inch line that goes from here down to there just blew up burst open and a lot of my coolant went everywhere so old blue let me know something was wrong driving down the highway sort of dingin that I had low coolant what's this all about local I just checked the coolant coolant's fine and I guess some of the coolant was spraying on to the engine and smoking a little bit or steaming a little bit and I saw that coming up from the hood oh no what's going on so I pulled over the first spot I could get to where it's safe it's a little turn off turning lane and came to check it out and sure enough sure enough where is it here it is this thing shut me down I already tried to cut it down as the ends broke right this is all just it's just brittle it's hard as rock and brittle see just another part just fell off and I cut it down to size and then it just it just breaks more right it's old needs to be replaced it's supposed to bend has no flexibility to it I cut it down to size and I thought maybe I can at least get it to work right just cut off the broken parts because it was busted open on the end now it's too short it won't reach so that plan didn't work so I called Napa auto parts I'm on highway two here in Minnesota four and a half miles east of Swan River where there's a truck stop I wish I could have made it there that would be nice better than sitting on the side of the road here like this nobody moves over nobody slows down I know they don't have to slow down but at least like move over like when I was getting stuff out on the side of the truck over here like be surprised people just go flying right past here even if there's not any traffic on coming that's life that's just the way it goes so I ordered four feet of new hose so I'll have some extra I only need about two feet we'll get the new hose thrown on there I have eight gallons of coolant with me that I always carry with me thank goodness I just replenished that on before I left on this trip I called into my mechanics my shop said hey I got eight gallons is that gonna be enough and they said yeah that'll that'll be good to get you going and if you're still low after that at least you can get down the road to where you can get more coolant right so it didn't all drain out of the engine a lot of it did but hopefully I won't need more than eight gallons the reservoir is completely empty and because the engine was still hot when I stopped and that hose was broken off it was just like still spraying out of there for like ten minutes after I shut the truck off right and I can't open anything up until it cools down here we are all blue it's alright it was it was an old old coolant line it's not your fault old blue it's not your fault I wonder how many other coolant lines need to be replaced too hopefully we don't replace this one have to redo others right away that's why I bought as much as I could I bought out the whole store apparently all they had left in their store was four feet of half inch coolant hose four feet so I bought it all as I give it all to me I want all of it so they should be here soon I had to pay a delivery fee of $47 I believe I am 20 miles away 20 25 miles away what else can I do the hose and the delivery charge all came out to $67 Canadian way cheaper to do that than to call an actual mechanic here and do this for me because that would be what like a $150 service charge just for them to come here and then I have to pay their up price on their materials in their coolant hose and pay his labor and everything it would have been like $500 for him to come here and replace the simple hose I'll do it and I'll pay myself how about that where I just keep the savings $67 instead of $500 is a win in my books we're just gonna hang out on this side so got some coolant here already this is the cool that I use in the truck it does need to be diluted 50 50 so these are already all premixed ready to go we've got one two three four ready to go and I've got another two in here that need to be premixed as well so this will be another four equals eight that's all I should need it's the green coolant that's what I use so once one of these is empty the way I do this once we're all just empty these first see where we're at and then once one of these is empty I can fill it up with half water and then I pour half of one of those in there and I fill that one the rest of that one up which is now half full of concentrate all that up with water as well now I have two mixed and for water what I'm using here my Costco see it's always a good idea to carry supplies with you a lot of water it's not just for drinking might save you to I save you a service call so good old Kirkland water is gonna be running through my motor that's okay Costco we're new members making use of that membership right now saving me I like to have lots of water I usually have tons and tons of water in the truck that's the one thing I can't I can't drive without I have to know in my head that if anything happens I've got water I can live without food for a few days right but you need water and food food is important to you water is just easy you buy a big case you go to Costco you buy the like big 35 or 40 whatever case it is of water throw it under the sleeper you're good to go my Napa delivery guy should be here any minute you'll have that hose and it'll be a super easy quick fix attach it on up there attach it down here the engines already cooled off so that'll be nice and I'm gonna wait for that and you know I should be everything put the coolant in starter up see where the coolant levels at if I need to stop for more coolant on the way I can I can stop but this will at least be enough to get me moving then we started up and watch the coolant level see where it's at it's a little low or if it's where it's supposed to be I don't know how much coolant I lost I didn't lose everything like I didn't lose the entire engine's worth of coolant so I'm hoping it was eight gallons or less that's all I got and the shop that I go to back at PBX they told me that's all I should need to get going just waiting for my hose you know what sucks about this you know it's terrible I have the hose in my shop that I need because this happened once before way back in the day when I had that Volvo remember I had coolant line then I bought it from a different Napa that was in well Minnesota somewhere no no something's North Dakota Western North Dakota no I think here's Mike no this might be my guy might not be no no that's not my guy no not my guy I had some of this hose and I used to always have it in my truck with me right and for some reason I remember I took it out of the truck I'm like this has taken up space I'm gonna put it down here on my shelf I don't know why I did that you should always have that stuff with you so that's why I'm glad that I bought a whole bunch of extra hose now so I'm gonna use whatever I need for this and I'm gonna keep the rest of it in here for next time if I need to replace another one got the new hose on here now all sealed up hopefully it holds play it works just gonna fill it up with some coolant yet it only took two gallons so far and we're at the minimum line already so I didn't need all eight thank goodness and hopefully that was into our problems there it's still you can still see it there's coolant dripping on there I was on there from before I'm hoping looks like it's all drying up now though thank goodness thank goodness let's get this thing filled up let's get on the road a little bit more that's good right between the minimum and the maximum fingers crossed let's hope that fixes it cross toes crossed hopefully that's the end of our issues today so glad it's already booked into the shop for tomorrow they can take a look at that all and figure out there's anything else that needs to I got the five miles down the road to the nearest truck stop lucky seven stop on highway two and Swan River Minnesota and my coolant light came on again it's returning from the engine to go into the reservoir but the clamp I had on the little nozzle there I guess was on a little bit crooked and it could get out it's squirted out a little bit so by the time I got here I was low on cooling again so I tightened it up I've tested it topped up the coolant again and now we've got no leaks the idle here for a good 10 minutes making sure that we got no other leaks I think it's all good to go now live and learn make sure when you put the clamps on the nozzle for the coolant it's perfectly nice and stray hopefully it stays sealed now clamp right in here no wander into the store over here and check to see if they have the coolant that I use and if they do I'm just gonna restock myself and come out here and let this thing idle just for a little bit got no leaks and we got no leaks let's hope for no bells or whistles or shouting at me and a freeze coolant levels are holding I'm nervous when I lost all my coolant again after just fixing it thankfully thankfully it's able just to adjust that clamp looks like we're all good to go now knock on wood crossing all our fingers in our toes again it's good being able to fix some things I'm not a mechanic I like driving trucks this is my passion but when it comes to fixing the big things I like to let people who know what they're doing work on my engine I want it to last a long time I don't mess it up right but something as simple as a coolant line I can handle that pulled into I think this is a Senex yeah Senex gas station truck stop just on highway to here driven a couple hundred miles since we did all the repairs let's go check to make sure everything is still good and then I'm gonna go inside and grab a coffee it's been a bit of a day let's go see where our coolant levels at I can still smell the antifreeze that leaked on before smells like antifreeze yeah everything is dry my coolant level is a little it's at the minimum line obviously it's gone down a little bit to fill in all the nooks and crannies right no I can't open this up right now because the engine's hot but it's still doing good still doing good we'll top that up tomorrow so this is the line that we replaced right here it's going in there I know you can't really see because the fisheye lens you'll have to trust me that it is looking great yep no leaking at all fantastic wonderful wonderful wonderful there's still enough coolant in there to run I'd have to wait about a half hour it's pretty warm outside right now too so I'd have to wait for this whole engine to cool down before I can even open that up so it's doing good it's doing all right we'll keep her keep our eye on it looking good as well good good we'll keep our eye on it so far looks like we're good there is a fly in here a fly that will die there you are haha come here land again do it why you live oh oh okay land oh land somewhere land land so sneaky there he is haha I get him where'd you go where'd you go get him I think I got him trucker drosh one fly zero nice okay let's get going trying to keep my diet under a hundred and are under 1500 calories per day usually 2,000 calories a day would maintain the weight that I'm at but since I want to lose the weight try and keep it a little below that so far it's been okay I want to make sure I don't turn into like a big land whale you know I don't want to be a land whale I want to be fit or at least had a healthy weight you know doctors some doctors are scared to tell people now when they're too big hmm I would prefer to my doctor told me that you know if there's something that's affecting my health I'd like to do something about it being overweight is really not good for you leads to all kinds of diseases and problems that shorten your life I don't like this world I kind of like this planet I want to stay here as long as I can I gotta make this body last as long as possible I'm stuck in Pembina again border paperwork he's not cleared paperwork got messed up again the broker doesn't have all the correct papers for this loads across the border and everyone's gone home for the night so I don't get to go home for the night I was hoping to be at home well probably showering at this point at home right now I don't know what happened because they had all day sent in the paperwork in the morning already I had all day but I don't think it was on our end we need a specific paper something of an export certificate and I don't know where it's sitting but they're gonna have to figure it out in the morning so I'm forced to stay out here in the truck another night it's part of trucking disappointing oh well I mean what can I do nothing I can do really so hopefully first thing in the morning we'll get this all cleared up I'll be able to cross the border and we'll drop this trailer off at our yard and then I'm gonna rush home and get old blue to the shop all blue is supposed to be at the shop right now already I was gonna drop it off today that didn't happen so I was gonna drop it off tonight that didn't happen gonna drop it off first thing
