Hey brother. I know my phone is definitely listening to me cus I was speaking about this topic to a of couple people and I open the app and BANG, the first video I see is yours lol. Thanks for information 👍

I started off with gears, but I love my 60series detroit eaton autoshifts. And I purchased my truck years ago from LRM Leasing and still rolling

Thanks for the video!It came at the right time!. I just sent LRM my down payment earlier this week to reserve a truck. They let me know that there a long wait to get a truck . This video just confirmed it.

You could tell this dude has put in work

Yeah this is a great video I wanna have some knowledge about going to purchase a truck just got fired from a company today and I’m good at saving money and your channel would lead me in the right direction

Being just the natural person in presenting goes so far.

Steve the man thank you for advice

GREAT INFO!!!

20 years, I definitely want steve working my truck..

Thank you for all the videos you do it's helping me out because I want to be a owner operator and I know there's big money in it half of my family drives a 18-wheeler I don't see any wrong that I can do it I've been around it most of my life it just it just comes natural and the truck I prefer to get is a Kenworth w900l

That's great advice thanks

Could you have Steve pretend he's someone's mechanic and looking over the truck for them before purchasing and just a step by step of how he would inspect it. Or maybe what he looks for before LRM purchases one? Hopefully you see this and help us have some peace of mind before buying a semi, thank you Alex!

When they went to the CDL school, they should have opt I'm driving a manual.

Every successful fleet owner that’s been at it for over 20 years I’ve ever talked to (5 of them) says the same thing as far as equipment goes: if you’re running OTR the best driveline is: either a 12.7 dd60 or N14 Cummins, a 10 speed roadranger with the C ratio set (this is important!!!!), and either Rockwell or Eaton 40k rears in a 4.10/4.11 ratio. This combo will last forever and when they do fail, each component is cheap and easy to find, fix or replace. I’ve seen several C ratio 10 speeds with over 1.25 million miles on them that are still quiet and tight, you’ll hardly ever see that with a 13 or 18, let alone an auto shift. The 15 speeds are also a good option being as they’re built off a 10 but they add weight and they don’t make them in the high torque ratings that you can get in a 10 to keep up with the 1,500 lb-ft plus engines on the road today.

Intriguing perspective. Why is the c ratio important? the rear ratio 4.10/4.11 ?? what significant role does this in hauling reefer If I was to do a rebuild engine could I add the c ratio ? I have no idea what I’m talking about. But I know you do lol

Here is some facts to keep in mind about the new detriots. The engine has over 3,000 sensors internally and externally that the ecm calculates while the engine runs. The fuel pressure in the line is measured in thousands of pounds. Enough pressure in one of those file lines to cut your fingers off if you don’t know what your doing. The def filters cost about 3,000$ each. Half a dealerships service department bays is regen and def related issues. Not engine or trans. Def and regen issues.

@sethcaughey6882

Wow those are some exaggerated numbers. Between the engine and aftertreatment system there are roughly 35 sensors. Fuel rail pressure bleeds off to a safe pressure about 10 minutes after shutdown. Certified Detroit reman dpfs cost about $2700 for both, and each one has a $532 core charge return that you get back if you turn the old ones in. So it comes out to roughly $1730 for both. Granted this is only for parts, and not labor too. Our dealership charges $945 to replace dpfs. This includes R&R, resetting the ash level in the ACM (a must), and running a regen. Not trying to be rude, but you got to get your facts right if you're going to instruct unknowing people.

Look for Kentucky Fried Chicken wrappers under the seat , if you find them the motor oil never been changed .

If you were to only buy auto what would be the best auto transmission to look for in a used truck 2015 and up.

ask this guy about automated manual eaton vs eaton manual shift? I feel like automated manual eaton would be best because it removes driver error of grinding and clutch wear. im an apprentice mechanic and have seen the clutch lasts longer on an automated manual.

It's the same with the trucks as a whole. I could go out and buy some nice Peterbilt or Kenworth for 70-80k with maybe 500-800k miles, maybe more that are manual. But the automatic trucks that have about the same mileage I've seen going for well above 100k
