Wes is a magnet for these “if I can’t fix it, send it to Wes….he’s smart enough yet dumb enough to fix it!” Type of vehicles…. I sure wish your customers appreciate not only your skills but your willingness to wrestle with these pigs.
-
Trademark pencil sketches are on an all time high-!!! Great way to learn how the system works and as usual a clear and understandable explanation from our in house mechanical maestro. Thanks Wes.

6.0s have a cult following. Strong bottom end and beautiful sound and make decent power. I don’t see them ever going away..
-
That was an impressive diagnosis. It’s a joy being allowed to join you on your mechanical adventures!
-
Diesel Tech Ron (rest in peace) recorded great power stroke diagnostic / repair videos worth checking out. Great video as always Wes, thanks.
-
I'm a contractor, I have one 6.0 left. You are correct, any major problems at this point and it's scrap heap time. The truck it is is still solid so maybe a Cummins swap.
-
Out here in western Queensland Australia (semi desert) you can find 30 year old trucks without a speck of rust, but dust and pebbles from the dirt roads bring their own delights.But nothing remotely comparable to your rust issues. Well done again.
-
At one time or another, every 6.0 will reach a point where it WILL NOT START! I know, I have 2 of them and have had every 6.0 liter problem there has ever been. Great video!
-
That dodge isn't headed for the crusher. It's headed to a used car lot for $15k!
-
Wes, thanks again for a great video! Perfect example of thinking through the symptoms and likely causes before wrenching. Now, all that truck needs is a new body, then a new frame to put under it, and finally a new engine. I would not want to be on the same road when those frame - body connections let go.
-
I'm a little rusty on these 6.0 , proceeds to draw a detailed sketch of how the inyection system works, also that is a caterpillar brain child, and additional trivia.. you are something else Wes..
-
That was not a guess my man, that was skill and experience! Great stuff sir.
-
man i wish i lived closer, i would love to have you as my mechanic, you are so much better then anyone ive ever seen, love your videos!
-
Your videos do a good job of letting the viewer imagine the 'trauma' of looking into the engine bay of a 20 year old truck with a million possibilities of why it won't start. It's actually kinda horrifying.

I lived in Illinois most of my life and still have no idea why we would dump so much money into our vehicles when they were so far gone they were dangerous to drive . LOL A friend of mine put seven thousand into a 2005 car two years ago and the frame broke in three places within a year . Totaled . Not wrecked , just broken beyond repair . LOL A nice win Sir . Now that truck can survive almost another year .

I met a Russian kid with a 6.4 in the tractor supply lot once. I wish I remembered all he said he’d done to it, but did a ton to the motor. He’d bought the truck dirt cheap with low miles and it was super clean. Already had put 140k of highway towing on it, and he said if it blew up tomorrow it still would have been a great investment. It had a cool red and white pin stripe on it too. Real smart looking 1 ton. Too bad they put motors in them it takes a genius to make run right.

I was a CAT tech, working on 3116 and 3126 HEUI systems. I believe the components are BOSCH. This guy is fortunate you accepted working on his PLOW TRUCK. Now he needs to source a desert/west coast truck to repower with his rebuilt powertrain to recover his repair costs. Good job WES!
-
Curmudgeon? No, you Sir are a dying art. Someone who looks at a problem and has a plain on how to fix it.
-
14:00 Wes, I love the smug look on your face when you finally got it to run.
