Mixing def and diesel is plain stupid. It’s not covered under warranty because it’s a boneheaded thing to do. 100% preventable. Don’t get in a rush. Identify which tank nozzle is which before you touch anything. I’d be willing to bet drivers do it on purpose to get back at their company for some perceived offense. The company has every right to charge the driver for the repair.
Start it up when it's frigid and floor it !!!!!!!!!
If you cross the jumper cables on a modern vehicle you will destroy the electrical system….

When I hear a commercial saying, “essential oil,” I aways think “Rotella T 15W40”.
You are right oil makes a difference but I found she'll roteala breaks down really fast so do your research with your oil company
All good advice… especially the last two. Clean your truck regularly and keep lots of good quality oil and grease to it. You won't regret it and it saves money over time.
Everyone of your videos are gold. Thank you for the continued guidance and encouragement.
I use rotella t4 15w40 year around, just let er' warm up good and I always use Lucas in my oil!
Guy at work confused the def tank and hydraulic tank on a skid steer. 3 Months later and $25,000 later it was back and running. IT destroyed most of the hydraulic components on the machine. Valve bodies, drive motors, hydrostatic drive, all junked.
Yes someone sabotage me at flying j cost me 9000
True words 👍

If you can't jump start a truck…this may not be for you.
Thanks for your channel!
You should do something about a welder/fabricator for 13 years trying to get a grip on this industry and not get written up.
i have a progressive dynamic onboard charger like an RV i just plug it in 😁
Fuel nozzle will not fit in def tank,unless some has removed blue insert in def tank ,all these comments are very helpful but if you don't already know these 5 things you probably shouldn't be on the road in the first place…simple common sense! Some thing the new generation is lacking….automatics are trouble period.
When i hauled container one of the guys started bottling his urine and dumping it in the def tank. This was before def was at the pump and you had to buy all those little boxes. He figured it smelled the same so what's the difference? 😳
The mechanics didn't like him after that. He was a strange man.
My cousins brother in law put DEF in his fuel tanks! Haha his truck was older Freightliner
So very tru Brother Dave..good video good presentation..merry Christmas driver!!
Make sure to disconnect batteries on the truck before you let anyone weld on it, I've damaged electrical systems at the battery recycling plant I worked at for 18 years. First pro welding job I got out of tec school. Wish that would have been covered by the school
One more thing… stop playing with the range selector, because it will break and you'll be stuck in high or low range! And make sure your wipers aren't frozen to your windshield. These aren't expensive but could be enough to ruin a deadline.
What’s the back haul?
Rotella T6 is the best oil!
Can be used in cars motorcycle, lawnmowers and your truck!!!!

You have to love your truck more than anything else it's your partner in the highway our job is very dangerous over a thousand trucks do not go back home a year
Oh hey Dave, I got a question for ya. When are you going to take back this Arctic air that you sent down here? The windchill is -45°C here, it’s the touch on the cold side if you ask me. You want to talk about hard on a truck, this weather will break the truck if you’re not careful.
Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁
Thanks my friend for those tips papa
They’re from New Jersey where they’re not allowed to pump their own gas…lol
Dude, it really bothers me when people call a TRACTOR a TRUCK. 😁
I use Shell a lot, but also will grab DelVac, basically whatever is on sale or has a good rebate. That being said, we always hear people warn about using "cheap" oil, but short of not having oil in the engine, we never hear about oil related failures. The same goes for the tired synthetic vs. "dino" oil debate. The better solution would be to get an oil bypass system and do regular sampling to find out what is really going on inside an engine.
Ain’t that the truth… “they never quit at home” So true!👍🏾. Thanks for these videos!!
Never extinguish your cigarette in the fuel tank.
