Road Trip Tip #1: Check your trailer... before your trailer checks you. 😅
This wiring issue was found just in time for the holiday weekend.

Just another day in the shop.
"I don't know why politicians get so upset about compromising positions... mechanics get stuck in them all the time." 😂

Anyway, Quick Connects or Worm Clamps?

This high-rail truck uses airbags to push its rail wheels onto the tracks. But when we flipped the switch... nothing happened.
No air delivery.
No pressure to the bags.
No rail wheels.
The diagnosis started by checking whether air was making it through the control valve—and that quickly narrowed down the fault.
👇 Before watching the end, where would you start looking?

Not Alberta Diesel Day but...

Comment "START IT UP" and we'll film the startup! 🔥

Fresh fuel pump.
Five seconds later...
💥 Frost plug drops out.
This is the third engine we've seen with the same issue this year, and we're starting to notice a pattern.

⚽ Red card for this repair...

07/11/2026

Two weeks ago, we showed how one "tiny part" affected the oil filter.
Now another engine is back with a completely different symptom—but the root cause might look surprisingly familiar.
👇 Do you recognize our "old friend" before the reveal? 👀

Most people think 3D printers are only for toys and desk decorations.
We designed our own roll-up leads that print in 100% ABS—no screws, springs, or metal hardware required. It comes straight off the printer ready to use.
Now we're curious...
Would you trust a 100% 3D-printed shop tool, or do you think metal is still the only way to go?
👇 Tell us why.

We opened this Allison transmission for a scheduled PTO rebuild and found something unexpected.
The "frosting" on the gear teeth is more than just wear—it's an early warning sign of metal fatigue. Follow it a little further, and you can see where repeated stress eventually led to a fracture.
Small clues like these can help prevent much bigger repairs down the road.
👇 Would you have caught this during an inspection?

Question for truck owners.
Before a CVIP inspection, do you:
✅ Fix everything you already know about.
❌ Let the inspection find it all.
There's no wrong answer—we're just curious what most people actually do.
