Batman, Cory, and Chris take the new truck (Atlas) in for servicing, and the guys at Dynamic Fleet and Repair take them through the process of inspecting each of the major components.

How many miles can a c6500 go between oil changes?
Where do I add oil in on my 1990 international navistar
Wear gloves. Exposure to oil and fuel is really bad.
Why didn't you adjust the clutch.
New truck? Why a road test? New truck should be perfect.
good job guys
i driver a 2006 268 26' hino, if i dont change fuel/gas filter can it cause the truck to choke and die during operations? and can it prevent the truck from starting?? thanks!
Good video but you showed filling the fuel filter with diesel fuel but you did not show the mechanic filling the oil filter and reinstalling it.
6 1/2 gallons of oil WOW!
Well, almost a big truck…LOL!
23.1856 L
He inspected *everything* on the truck, we just didn't show it all.
This was before, no mechanic can fix stupid, we ran out of fuel.
He checked everything, the full inspection took well over an hour, we didn't show it all.
We've worked with Dynamic Fleet and Repair for over a year. We don't take a camera crew somewhere unless we KNOW they're top-notch. These guys are awesome, that's why we wanted to show them off.
He filled the FUEL filter with diesel. 😉
I'm not sure if this is already a place you trust, but man, if you take a camera crew to your oil change you KNOW they're not gonna fuck your car up. XD
Nice truck Chris, make sure you get the wheel bearings serviced soon and have those brakes replaced. From a CDL Driver. Safety First
My last comment concerns the lift gate, I did not see that inspected and while I don't know if that is part of a DOT inspection, considering the loads that are routinely lifted with one, I'd want a qualified mechanic to inspect mine, if I was not qualified to inspect it myself. If a lift-gate fails catastrophically with a heavy load and a couple of people aboard… not a good day.
nice truck
One thing I saw: The front springs have been contacting the rubber spring snubbers/bump-stops leaving a shiny round mark on the top of the springs. Snubbers are only meant to contact the spring in the case of very large movement in the suspension, such as hitting a pot hole. I did notice that the ride was very harsh, and perhaps front shocks are needed, but I myself would want to know if the snubbers have been hitting when loaded, because that is very harsh indeed.
As a diesel tech with over 30 years experience, I can safely say that you have a well maintained truck + your inspection was first rate. You definitely were getting water in the hub seal, although in my experience it is always the hub seal, *the outer cap thingie" not the wheel seal. Front brake replacement and bearing inspection generally entails wheel seal replacement, I would recommend both hub seals also be replaced, they are usually not very expensive.
24.5 quarts. what would that be in a more civilised (metric) unit of measurement?
Is this before or after the breakdown?
The mechanic's comment at 11:58 is interesting. A little bit of foreshadowing, perhaps.
