The perfect combination of personality and knowledge. KZfaq providing a platform for a truck mechanic who otherwise would have been unknown to the world. This guy will have people who don’t care about trucks following the pointer!

@2dogsmowing Жыл бұрын

Well said. I wouldn't get any work done around this guy. Because I see him holding this pointer everytime he's talking to someone. Especially to make a point in his conversation. I would be dieing from laugher watch the "bob" the pointer. Lol

So true. It’s the combination of his personality, his expert knowledge of repairing bent frames that we would otherwise think of scrapping, and of course the finger pointer!

A good tip to point out When replacing springs you need to look for a matched set Some springs come with a + or a - painted on them That is indicating that they have been matched to each other The only time I got bit by that snake We changed one side owner didn't want to do both He came back later to get the other We ended up with a plus and a minus spring It caused a lean

@ronfullerton3162 10 ай бұрын

With the old lead springs, it was really a dumb move not to change springs out as a set. We had a new supposedly mechanic, and he only had the side fixed that had broken leaves. There was a spring shop nearby that rebuilt springs, and they replaced not only a broken leaf, but several that had lost the proper arch. We sat the two springs side by side to show him both needed repaired, and the difference in arch was unbelievable. Nope, he wouldn't have the other spring repaired. And of course, it sat leaned over empty. And the lean got worse when loaded. Good look when you want to meet DOT Enforcers.

I feel like the truck at 2:13 has a better suspension setup than my Freightliner Cascadia because the axles are underneath the leaf springs. I don't like the idea of having all the weight being only supported by the u-bolts.

I run tri axle dump chassis by PRATT. They run mono spring. It's just one spring per axle per side. When they brake they literally SNAP at the axle. NEVER DEAD SPIN A LOADED TRIAXLE 20ft chassis with the axles stretched. But man they ride GREAT with 50000 in the box.

This may be a dumb question, but I do not know ok. Do they actually do frame rail replacements? Seems that would cost more than the truck is worth, I mean I can't imagine the amount of labor involved to replace an entire side rail.

Had a truck go up in flames, burned the entire rear end. caused a lot of damage, bushings, airbags, air lines, harnesses etc. My question is, is the frame compromised? Will it ever be as strong as it was?

@user-ln7of9gs4s Жыл бұрын

Bendon, what does it mean when you’re in the left lane and the truck pulls to the left? Or being in the right lane and pulling to the right? Tandem axle tractor aligned twice in a row, the second time to confirm the first alignment was correct. Before and after symptoms were the same, it pulled to the right and the front right steer had accelerated wear across the entire tread, in comparison to the left steer which was an identical tire replaced at the same time. There was difficulty per tech to get front right steer in spec. Thanks, love the vids!

Is the one spring squared with the axle? Measure distance between front of springs and rear of springs. Can also use a carpenters framing square, ( large on, not the little one) The one spring may have been secured to axle with spring not positioned straight.on axle.
