How many PSI do you think it took to push that plastic thing through?? That's amazing. Also since that's the liner for the hose, how did the rest of the hose not just give up and burst once that plastic piece left the scene...? Dumb question edit (from an electronics dude so an honest question): Is this the same kind of failure that happens in brake hoses when they go "bad" and leave calipers locked up, etc?

2024-12-16 22:22:05 +0000 UTCI could be wrong (I know, I know but just this once) I seem to i remember someone swearing off working on crusty old plow trucks. π

2024-12-08 01:50:26 +0000 UTCThis sounds like a case of "Pull the entire engine" and do a teardown. Drop the tranny and diff, then you've got the room to fix the brake and gas lines, and patch the frame. Expensive, but fixes everything.

2024-12-08 01:07:17 +0000 UTCWe all learned some things in this video! Thanks again, Wes. BTW- my electrical service provided provides winks and blinks for no extra charge.

2024-12-07 23:57:08 +0000 UTCI totally empathize with you on working on those old junkers. You get to the point you are agraid to touch anything as you know it will likely break, crack, or fall off and then you have to deal with it and explain to the customer how you have to charge them more. Nice work. I've definately never seen a hose do that before. Good catch and kind of lucky that it started leaking the way it did.

2024-12-07 22:54:34 +0000 UTCI notice you are one of the few like myself that uses dewalt. Part of me kicks myself for not going Milwaukee. For what I do they have worked well!

2024-12-07 21:18:50 +0000 UTCFrame looks good for Illinois! Easier to fix than pay stupid prices for new. I assume he would rather pay you than the dealer.

2024-12-07 21:13:04 +0000 UTCThere has been a lot of belt-tightening from the urban down to the rural, and the rural will be last to feel any rebound.

2024-12-07 20:49:32 +0000 UTCI covered some of the cost. I still did OK on the job.

2024-12-07 20:01:29 +0000 UTCIt seems like you could do with a Wilbert's situated near you.

2024-12-07 19:28:32 +0000 UTCI hope you're not doing the honourable thing and replacing accidentally broken stuff at your own expense after you told the owner to dump it.

2024-12-07 19:03:54 +0000 UTCI've had a terrible string of car issues. First my relatively low mileage Jag destroyed it's engine at 63k miles (after a second turbo grenaded) then my Jeep had an oil leak from the headgasket.... Never mind the BMW EV getting a new motor & electronics.... Luckily the Jag & BMW were handled under warranty, but still. I've been driving my 1993 JDM van which is the most reliable thing I own, but also bought a spare car (minter 2008 BMW wagon) which, despite 167k miles, seems to be on the more reliable side.

2024-12-07 18:29:18 +0000 UTCI feel your pain. Working on my Ranger plow truck. Ball joints hub bearings and worst of all brake lines.
