Edit: I just realized the truck broke down in July and it’s now mid March, meaning it was down for 8 months, not 6. Meaning $32k in payments and insurance alone, not counting lost revenue.. My rollback is FINALLY fixed and back on the road! In the end, it turned out to be a misdiagnosis and incorrectly installed O-ring that snowballed into a 6 month breakdown and caused a major financial hit for both my company and theirs. Everything with the original shop ended on bad terms and I'm sure both myself and them would be very happy to never see one of my trucks in that shop again. But once it all went up the ladder to the corporate end of TEC Equipment, they stepped up and offered to have me take it to their Coburg Oregon location to figure out what the problem was and get it taken care of. I have nothing but great things to say about the Coburg TEC location, and if any of my trucks broke down again, I would gladly drag them 3 hours away over the mountain to have those guys handle the repair. They had the problem figured out in a day, great communication throughout, very knowledgable staff top to bottom, and they went to bat for me against their other location when they realized that the problems were caused by the previous repair attempt. The corporate side of TEC was in full agreement with the guys in Coburg and we came to an agreement that we all thought was fair. It's unfortunate that this whole situation happened in the first place, and if it would have been handled differently by the original shop it would have saved both my company and theirs tens of thousands of dollars. But in the end the situation happened, TEC stepped up and made it right, and I'm happy with the end result.

I am wondering if the corporate office jumped onto getting the truck fixed because they believe in customer service or because you have in excess of a quarter of a million subscribers that watched this go down and they don't want the bad press. Hopefully the first. It's good to see it fixed either way.

So good to hear that the big guns at Cummins and Tech stepped up and made it right for you. It won't make up for all the lost revenue/expense you went through - but it does speak well of upper management. You've been more patient than I would have been. That patience and your own integrity are one of the reasons I've been a subscriber for quite awhile.

The negative publicity wouldn't just be constrained to the local community as would be with the little guy. Casey reaches the world. Just a curiosity question to think about.

I'm sure they are happy they didn't get hit with a loss of use bill for the truck. Casey said he's out 32k in payments and insurance while it was down, meaning that truck needs to make $50K+ to make it worthwhile to own. They were already on the hook for the damage of the failed repair, so bending over backwards to make the owner happy is nothing compared to what happens if the customer gets lawyers involved.

Customer service is ALWAYS important

People are human and make mistakes - including shop management. Sucks. Glad to hear that corporate and their other location took care of it. That's awesome service.

That's great news. I was wondering how the rollback drama was going. 6 months off the road being screwed around absolutely should never happen, but to have it fixed, and all the damage from the initial f*ck up repaired as a priority is the absolute best outcome! It could have dragged out for years if you'd had to go the legal litigation route.

I'm glad that TEC was able to not only diagnose the issue your truck was having, but that they went to Cummins and between the two of them were able to work it out so that you weren't left further in the lurch. It's totally understandable why you are going to try to sell the truck - having something that expensive just sitting around for the occasional call when it may be the best option doesn't make sense financially for the single owner/operator business model that you have. I also applaud you for taking the high road in your description of the issues (even though some of us that have followed along since early days and can read between the lines), and I further applaud you for refusing to sell it when it wasn't 100%. At least now you have the monkey off your back with a broken truck!

Been waiting to see what the true problem was with your truck, great that it's fixed, I worked as a fleet tech for over fourty years and one thing hasn't changed, finding a capable shop with experienced people, am retired now driving the country in a Cumins/Allison powered motor home and wouldn't have it any otherway.

Posted 15 minutes ago. 2k people watched it already. Totally super awesome.

Wow, has it only been 6 months? Seems like a year ago. It will be sad to see it go, but like you say "you can only operate one at a time" and then the other one is costing you money doing nothing. Well we can enjoy watching it work while you have it. Thanks Casey

With that truck in various workshops for 6 months you are very lucky to have other ways to generate an income. My brother has been a heavy vehicle mechanic and driver foe 40 years and has many stories of people losing their truck and sometimes their house due to payments due while the truck was being repaired, particularly accident damage.

That 2nd facility sounds amazing. Great to have such a great experience. Corporate did what should have been done.

I'm glad it all worked out. It seems like they really went above and beyond to fix the problem that ultimately they created. However, it would be interesting to know how this all would have gone without a large KZread audience to pressure them via Public Relations.

Best ending for this truck. Finally! 👏👏👏

So awesome to see the rollback working again! I've missed it!

Casey I love the way that you can explain a very complex technical problem, such as your diesel engine issues, in a way that us normal people can understand.

LETS HEAR THE STORY!!!!!... OMG!!!... GLAD YOUR HAPPY!...CONGRATS TO COMPANY FOR TAKING CARE OF YOU!

Riley NEEDS that little Jeep

Its good that the big bois with their fancy tois were able to get it fixed right.

Well that is awesome news and has been a long time coming! I'm glad that finally some competent Service Techs got involved in repairing your rollback correctly! Even though they covered what was messed up by your local incompetent shop this still cost you a ton of money. Losing the sale of the truck , lost revenue , payments on the truck and insurance payments. I'm really happy that its now repaired. Wishing you all the best with what ever you decide to do with it Casey!

I think the Zacklift is an absolute masterpiece of engineering and versatility but there is something about a rollback that is just great. Especially a heavy duty one like you have. I get it but sad to see it go. 8 months of dead truck because of incompetence is 'a whole bunch of words I won't write here' I feel sorry for that driver sitting in the motel...i hope he's not fronting the money for his stay and having to get reimbursed from a company like that.

Glad it’s back. Yours is my favorite roll back out of the “recovery”/adventure channels. Even over Fab Rats (if he ever finishes)

Glad you still remembered how to use the rollback after 8 months😂😅😊. Keep smiling

Great to see TEC corporate took care of you. Now you need to add staff to keep both trucks making money for you.😉

FYI the dealership repair shop where the rollback was is Tech equipment in Redmond. Oregon, bad repair shops, bad dealerships need to be called out for their bullcrap work.

Everybody makes mistakes. How you deal with them is both the measure and a maker of your character.

So much respect for your honesty and integrity in this situation. So many people would use your platform to just continue to bash someone.

I'm taking the Zaclift to get all new Yankum ropes, just like I did on the rollback, right before it broke down for 8 months." Way to foreshadow there, Mr Jinx.

I love the fact that you wouldn't sell it with a problem. Even if the buyer knows it has a problem. Glad to see that issue solved.

Nice looking truck, lug nut spikes aren't long enough though....

I love seeing all that old International stuff.

Thank you for taking the high road. Very impressive.

Boy howdy. Sure glad to hear it's finally fixed. Congrats to you.

Very interesting story. Why is it dealerships are usually the places with the "poorest" mechanics? I've had my experiences with them too, especially when I seem to know more than the mechanic about a certain problem and they are supposed to be the "trained" one. I'm very glad you found a reputable outfit to fix your truck and get it back on the road.

OMG it’s back! Glad for you Casey. Go back and buy the toy mini jeep in celebration perhaps?

Wonderful and Congratulations. I glad to see the other shop helped out.

Glad the roll back fix and back hope you keep it I have miss it been in the videos

My first difficult miss fire was a brand new 1994 Toyota 4Runner it went into the dealer and never came out. Toyota took care of me with a brand new replacement. It took them a year to figure out what was wrong and it was a mistake while machining of the block. To much play between the distributor and the camshaft. The next one was my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee that had the miss fire problem between two cylinders. Jeep couldn’t figure it out and gave up fixing it. So I did a heavy duty fuel injection cleaning to clean everything and removing the carbon buildup on the valves and piston. It cleared the faults and has been running now 4 years without a problem. I’m thinking they don’t have technicians that have a personal pride to figure it out, no matter what.

VERY happy the company took ownership of the failed repair job and got this rig fixed and running correctly. Restores some faith in humanity really that they stepped up this way. Good on them. Love that the spikes survived at least to this video.

Sounds Grate Casey ,,,, and it’s good to see it back on the road and back to work ,,,,

I work in N Texas fo a manufacturer of steel in construction, and we run 6 class B and 4 class A trucks daily. The "cheap" tow is because there are a number of people running S of the boarder licensed trucks and if you don't care about insurance you can get them. This drives down the amount that those who are legit can change and still find steady work. Open boarders effect everyone and everything.

That's a nice truck and definitely the perfect addition to your Fleet.

Glad you got it back and it's finally fixed! So happy the service center and corporate stepped up and took care of it for you. Always enjoyed seeing what you could do with it.
