My thoughts exactly. I've fixed a few things twice because I screwed up. What gets me mad is when I have to fix what I paid someone else to fix. I boycotted one tire shop because they did a wheel alignment for me and left the adjustment bolt loose on one corner. I discovered it when I went to do my weekly tire check and found that 2 tires were very worn with less than 1000 miles on them. They refused to take responsibility and wanted to charge me for another wheel alignment and 2 tires. They were out of business in less than a year after that and the building was bought by a company that specializes in truck tires.

I think it’s time for a fishing trip Warren, the worst feeling you can have as a mechanic is when you put time and effort into something, and know something didn’t go right. Standing behind it and fixing it just shows you care, that you have integrity and that your willing to be humble and eat some crow once in awhile. Heck, you show the world that. I’d like to know how many mechanics would actually do that! We are all learning from the mistake so thanks for sharing. Thank you also for being a stand up guy and a great mentor and role model for future generations of field mechanics. Lots appreciate your efforts sir!

Hey Warren. Haven't been here in awhile, so I thought to stop in. Warranty work,....ugh. You really DO learn from your mistakes! (esp. when it is free, and you do it instead of earning on another job). PROPS to you for admitting your misgiving. I remember doing transmissions many yrs ago. I did both manual and automatics in the 80's. Mostly Fuller Roadranger 900 series for trucking, and Allison MT & HT series for off-highway. I really enjoyed the fullers,(You get to use a hammer a lot, 😁). And YES you do them horizontal. I hadda big table with an 1 1/2" maple top on it. One thing i learned early was to always replace the synchonizers (slip gears) on the fullers. They wear out easily when truckers don't clutch thru the gears and get high mileage,or heavy service. I don't know how I would have taken out the mainshaft with the trans in a vertical position. WOW. I took off the PTO plate and could "shimmy" it out to the back. At any rate; good to see you in good health and keepin' 'em running! BEST, Jay in NY

You're right, you haven't done a lot of "return" work but, you're honest and you still fix what you already knew was wrong or a mistake you may have made. There just isn't that many people in this world today that admit to their mistake(s) or even warranty their own work and fix it. Just more reason why you're absolutely the very best on YT. It's always a joy and pleasure to watch your work and learn from you, even if you've shown some of this stuff a few times before. Always learning something new or getting a refresher from you from each of your videos. Thank you, thank you for always sharing with us. P.S. At least this isn't a POS Paccar!!! LMAO. I also counted with you on that gear. LOL You're the best. Cheers :)

I would help with all this because taking part in your mechanical adventures has to be better than watching on KZitem. You are the real deal and a decent person.

Trial an error not only teaches you how it should be done but just as importantly how not to do it. It frustrates me when people think they have to be trained or shown every step before they ever attempt any procedure. If I hadn’t learned by trial and research 90 percent of the work I have wouldn’t be possible. Knowledge of many different fields can become a curse at times. It’s difficult for employees to become proficient because they’re back and forth between so many different procedures, most people don’t possess the skills to retain all information. Keep up the great work Warren, look forward to every video.

Just a suggestion: people appreciate feedback. I understand turning down work. If it were me (and what I did before i retired) I would stay in contact with those you turned away. Conversation would be "Joe, I know I couldn't help you a few months back but I finally got caught up and can help if you need me". When things get slow, and they will, "Joe" will remember you had the decency to reach out to him and offer to help.

Word of mouth travels fast, and if you do good work and stand by it, the people will come whether they like your brutal honesty or not. That's what i like about you Warren, there's no trying to guess how you feel about stuff, because you say it like it is, and your yes is yes, and your no is no. Do it like i said lol, that's what comes to mind lol, because you say it so dang funny. Glad the problem wasn't something real bad, and the rigs back out doing work. G-d bless.

21:30 it sounds to me like fairly soon you may need people to assist with the KZitem video editing and uploading process, possibly even to shoot the videos for you even. You're getting up there in viewer's now where you're going to start needing some help in handling some of this stuff. The fact that your videos are focused on being able to fix anything in diesel mechanics is great for people who are either having to do the same things on their own or just want to start doing this stuff for themselves provides a great deal of information that people are looking for to fix their own stuff. Lots of other KZitemrs started out just like this but ended up requiring adding people to their team as they grew, so it may be something you might want to consider as your audience grows on here. Maybe you should consider adding people who can help with fabricating certain things which would vastly expand your business. Perhaps getting some fabrication equipment in order to be able to repair or replace nearly anything you need to or want to. Then adding people who can commit to the KZitem side of things in capturing video, editing and uploading it for you rather than you having to take the time to do it. There are a ton of things you can do with this and you would be correct that it is good advertising for you.

I really appreciate your honesty and letting everyone know that stuff happens, even to the best of us. I went to Ohio Auto Diesel back in 94-95 to learn Diesel Repair. They had a pretty good program and we learned automatic and manual transmissions. The funny part was when I graduated, top of my class, it was really hard to find a job. Most shops wanted experience, but wouldn’t give you a shot. I was lucky and worked with some good guys that were willing to share knowledge. I moved from Diesel Mechanics to Commercial HVACR almost 25 years ago. I have taught apprentice classes for years. I am trying to make sure the apprentices learn as much as possible, without the information block. That’s a pretty shady frame extension, is the other side screwed up like that? Hopefully your foot’s healing up decent. Thanks Again for dragging us along for the adventure.
