Dope lifts didn't even know these existed for heavy duty equipment and great video. Feels good to have some refreshers.

I overhauled my engine in this shop in 2022, spent 50 thousand dollars on my and first month engine broke parts inside, every month my truck was in the shop for leaks, and broken parts, after a year the engine still burn one gallon oil every 15k miles, totally regret overhauling in this shop

Hmmm on the road I do it different, sometimes the roll pins are frozen and I hv to cut the clevis or the slack adjuster has to come off and work it loose on vise, so at time I split the brake chamber to avoid all that. Back back in the day we use to replace diaphragms on the side of the road

@brkbrk5205 Ай бұрын

When i replaced the brake chamber on the trailer what i did was: Release the brakes, back off the slack adjuster all the way and then pull the red line and then take off the hoses. Vise versa for installing. Can i do the same on the truck ? i miss understand that part thank you

@jimmiller4951 2 жыл бұрын

Great content. Why did you have a chain over the axle and what was it connected to ?. Please explain the process . I am getting ready to change all 4 cans on mine for the first time and I do have lifts /

@wingnut5730 Жыл бұрын

The chain is put on before the vehicle is raised up. Chain goes around axle to the frame. Keeps the axle from sagging and putting strain on the suspension. The axle he worked on was not under the lift.

@davidtitus5254 Жыл бұрын

Suggestion- instead of hammering a wrench, try interlocking unused ends for easy to control lateral force.

@TATEXPRESSINC Жыл бұрын

David, thanks for your input. I was used to using a hammer before the lifts gave us more space to work

@ELDIABLO444 10 ай бұрын

You cut the length fully released !!! The way your doing it means the brake will require more pressure to apply the brake !!!!! Cause the pushrod is under more spring pressure. Screw in a air fitting to the spring break side to help compress the brake chamber before using the caging bolt (makes it easier to do.

@TuggSpeedman_ 2 жыл бұрын

Im still learning how to do chambers but i was always told to never taking the caging bolt out once its off the truck is that true? They always said u take a risk of it exploding and i also was told to make my measurements with the chamber fully caged and then cage the new one before i cut….. any insight u could give me on this would help.

@TuggSpeedman_ 2 жыл бұрын

If its totally safe to remove the caging bolt from the chamber once u have it off the truck im going to start doing it because the cutting process i was taught confuses the hell out of me lol

@flyingmonkeydeathsquadronc968 2 жыл бұрын

@@TuggSpeedman_ Its relatively safe if the housing and the clamps are in good shape. Those parking brake spring are no joke though. Id advise doing it how you where taught and also understand that the cage bolt should be reinstalled until the parking brake spring is cut for disposal. They can kill.

@TuggSpeedman_ Жыл бұрын

@@flyingmonkeydeathsquadronc968 so cage both chambers, measure the old one and make my cut on the new one fully caged?

@flyingmonkeydeathsquadronc968 Жыл бұрын

@@TuggSpeedman_ This is the right way. It sets the brake up properly so that it will minimize strain on the mechanism while maximizing braking potential. You never know what idiot replaced the chamber last so its good to make sure its right.

I am confident in my abilities to replace a brake chamber or even just replacing the diaphragm but I know what damage those brake chamber can do so if I can help it I'd much rather let a shop tech do it because for lack of better terms, once the brake is caged essentially you have created an IED lmao so I really dont like messing with em but I can if I have to especially when doing just the diaphragm or "clocking" the air ports

@level5599 2 жыл бұрын

@flyingmonkeydeathsquadronc968 2 жыл бұрын

Its more of an IED without the cage bolt especially if you drop it on one of the ears of the clamp and they separate had one fly 45ft once and it was worn out.
