Ok bro just reach out to Tim gentry he knows what he is doing it doesn't hurt to ask so don't give up get the rental delivery your load and send Tim a message and put that truck on the deck and take it to him instead of just throwing money into and get it diagnosed properly so your not wasting your money

Truck is acting up because you never wash it and keep rims and such clean ….a clean rig is a happy rig 👊☝️💪🤣

Funny but true. He has no pride or self respect for anything he does or owns. Everything is crap, it’s run down and dirty. Look at his appearance, says it all. So typical of people like this, it’s everyone else fault and everything is crap.

The fact that even though you are faced with many difficulties, you keep persevering, it's encouraging me to not throw in the towel either. Keep it going! I also bought an Ancel just now using your codes, Thanks!

Kansas city Mo Here just keep working your so close, I'm a ASE Master Mechanic . F*** a new truck you've got that one ready to rock and roll SIR

I think your spot on with the harness. Oil gets into those connectors and cause multiple issues and the insulation on the wiring being gone is a good sign that that harness is done for.

Eliminate the harness, put new, go from there,a good diagnosis is what you need, not the parts cannon. Love the content just the same and good luck getting wheels rolling😢, open a truck shop and hire good people and pay them well and you'll get rich.😊 east coast Canada 🇨🇦 NB province here.

Tim Gentry has a couple of nice used trucks for sale just a thought

Unplug injectors 4 to 6 one by one and start truck, if truck runs better with one of those unplugged, it is short in the unplugged injector. Just a quick test to do before replacing harness

Hope you get it figured out bro. We rooting for you and the fam.

Just treat every breakdown as a vacation. Get loads that go to nice locations so Lita and the dogs can relax while you fix the truck.

it is 100 percent your harness. you are having so many ghost issues it makes so much sense

Don't give up Bro you know what you have done and the same issue comes back, so that means you have not got to the problem. Keep the videos coming, keep you head up!!

Robert you have just found your new calling a Mack mechanic! 😁

Hi Robert and Lita

I would try and disconnect that inverter and see if its causing some kind of electrical serge and the computer not knowing what to do with it. Also check that wire on the apu alternator. the last time it was giving the same codes it was that wire on the apu. I'm thinking your electrical problem isn't where you think it is.

Don't get rid of your truck. I have a 94 Volvo. If you get rid of your truck, I won't be able to watch to learn how not to fix mine..... I will end up making the same mistakes you are...that is, if I don't get to see you make them first.... It really does save me a bunch of time. I just ask myself "What would Robert do?" Then I look for a video, and see if it did the job....

You can fix it bro....no new truck you can repair the mack just do it and go on....stay strong bro its a tuff world it will work out ...keep the stress down blood pressure relax the body god bless guys will pray ....

We use a mechanic. Stay safe.

Decades ago the big carriers discovered at 5 years, a tractor begins to cost them more $$ in maintenance & repair than the monthly payment on a new tractor. SO, that has been their yardstick for the last few decades- 5 years & dump it. !

You get it! Big companies survive because they understand cost benefit analysis. This truck has given more than it had to give. Either invest in a new one, or work for someone else. I'm afraid this small business is going to fail unless they're able to accept the responsibility of a more reliable rig.

I would not put another dime in that truck...I have seen this far too often...worn out TRUCKS WILL BANKRUPT YOU!!

Just came back thru there an hour ago too. Wishing the best for you guys. Let me know if I can help out in any way brother!

Hello Robert and Lita ...

Keep the episodes coming ,keep them coming. God bless you guys

Damn Robert, if I ever win the lottery, u on the top of my list to get a new truck, with truck down they bring u another one ASAP. I don't scribe, but still watch, u & Lita are hard workers.

I can buy a cheap ratchet. I cannot buy a cheap set of spark plug wires. Exposed wires cannot be a good thing for anything electric.

Robert I had a 2006 Freightliner Century and I know you have a different model like the Mack but I took a heavy container from Tampa to Atlanta GA and coming back through Ocala FL, I had no acceleration, It turned out to be the accelerator cable that connects behind it. If your model has that cable, check the connector or replace. It's worth a try. Hoping for the best for both of you.

Damn! Was running so good.

hi stick with what you got far cheaper to repair than buy a truck if the rates are crap if you think you are going to leave trucking no point in putting yourself in debt best of luck to you both love the videos

the people on the just trucking channel had the same issue. He had lights coming on and warnings popping up. He had to replace his harness on his x15 cummins.

The oil contamination will travel the length of the wire all the way to the ECM (brain box), so you might want to check the ECM connection for contamination too. The oil will have metal wear particles in it and some contain graphite, both are conductive. There should be a bulletin from MAC on this type of problem, maybe you can check with them on that?

get the harness 1600 is still cheaper than another used or new truck, i have been where you are at and understand, wish you guys the best.

Like when the check engine light on a Chevy pick-up comes on... it never ends.

Your resilience is just on another level, you will figure it out no doubt just as you have on previous breakdowns. Love the channel, #Respect. Watching from NAIROBI KENYA.

Robert in my opinion you would be better off fixing your Mack Because you have just about rebuilt and replaced everything on it. You know what in you got in your Mack truck. Robert if you buy a another used truck it could be worse shape than what you have and won’t know it until after you done dropped $50,000 on it and then you right back where you are right now with your Mack Truck.

HI we seemed to have a front end on our truck today maybe not tomorrow GOOD ONE

Get the rental truck and get rid of the one you're carrying, then it's just you, Lita and your truck to consider with no additional worries. You'll be in a better position to make a proper decision. Maybe carrying your own truck home with the rental could be a option?

I believe you are answering your questions yourself. Having the freedom to throw the money at the truck at will when it break down its not the same as having a payment. Especially if you think you may quit at any moment. Good luck.

This is a tough situation. Hang in there.

Try disconnecting your batteries tocut all power to the computer then reconnect after a few minutes, you have nothing to lose.

Sometime you can go for months without a problem, its like the world is your oyster, then Bang!! 😮

robert u r right,i hope i didnt hurt ur feelings,ouit after 28 yrs of trucking,nobody nos unless they go thur it. get a motelan get rest for 2 days,start again/good luck

if the truck is not fixed yet , take it to Gentry and Sons

Unhook the AC. ECM, inverter, and any other accessory, CB, etc.. Something is throwing power backward into the system

Hang in like Gungha Dihn! You’ll get it.

U can fix it I know you can! U have fixed everything else that's broke I wouldn't get rid of the mack just yet unless the engine was done.

My friend I had a similar situation on a lower level my f150 transmission started slipping I paid to rebuild it and 2 months later the rear end started grinding had to replace it 3 months after that the motor started knocking it was frustrating and I don't know what to do at the end I remembered what the good book says " the borrower is slave to the lender " I choose not to borrow for a new truck I spent 18 k fixing my old f150 now with 500k miles and saving for a better truck , I do get truck allowance so I have already recover my 18 k. don't give up this type of challenges in life make us better people.

In the end, you will still need to fix this truck.

Man Robert I feel for u & Lita. Seems like every time u turn around another problem with the truck. I would of done gave up by now. Glad I drive company owned trucks. Hope u get it figured out. God bless

You need to make sure that's what the problem is. No use in continuing to throw money at it.

I had the same issue happened to me in Salt Lake City a few months ago. It was telling me number four injector was bad and possibly a bad injector harness. My Freightliner has two injector harnesses under the valve cover. Mechanic told me to go ahead and change the harness and see if that fix the problem. But what I opted to do Was change the injector on both harnesses at the same time because I didn’t want to have to go into the motor twice. My truck has been running better ever since. I am a firm believer that the injector harness does go bad overtime with heat cycles and being exposed to the engine oil.

Why dont you get in touch with Gentry and Sons Trucking in Sweetwater, Tn. They are working on outside truckers equip and also just bought a wrecker. They have a Channel on the tube, also. The owner is Tim and he has two Macks like yours and is familiar with them. Bill

In my 20 years of trucking. I went through 3 trucks. 64 Autocar 85 KW W900B 96 KW T800 Every time I changed trucks, after a week, I would be screaming to myself, why didn't I do this sooner. You need to pull each injector connection one at a time to relieve your mind of the one short. Put in the new harness. There is no cash value in a dead truck to sell. I know I'm late to the armchair advice party. But look at the hurdles you accomplished on the last breakdown. This harness has to be a no-brainer now. Just do it🙂

I replaced my turbo actuator when my Cummins would not run loves thought it was a bad fuel filter and water separator truck would not idle no power acted like it wasn't getting fuel ran like crap had it towed into international they found the Turbo actuator to be bad replaced it truck is doing great

Simple thing to do to figure out which way to go would be to add up all the maintenance and repairs you had to do in the year and compare that to new truck payment or leasing like Penske trucks. If you continuously spend that money to repair the Mack then your missing out on paying off a newer truck quickly or leasing a truck with maintenance included.
