I have my own shop so I deal with all the issues he mentions daily. I had a customer call me last week right after I did the kingpins saying the truck is shaking to only call me back and say it was the earthquake we had here on east coast. 😂😂😂

The comments on being professional are so true, no one seems to take pride in their work.

I wouldn’t know a spring bushing from a hole in the ground but I’m here for this video because this dude is too legit. He’s the full on real deal.

I'm a diesel mechanic myself. Please do a video of your equipment to do pin bushings. I would like see your setup.

Just ordered bob... I have some things I would like to vigously point at!

It’s too bad there were not more shops like you out there you are a master thank you for your videos

I get the pleasure of working on pre 2006 Macks. Rusty nasty old plow trucks. Kingpins and spring bushings galore. The trucks are grossly overloaded running in the worst environment possible. Delicious.

Always good to see that I'm not the only one with many uses for Aluminum shackle bars.

You are putting a cold sweat down my spine on how long a let a grease zert go on a Kubota. It's on my list for this -spring- weekend. Dang.

You can always tell a seasoned mechanic by how clean he is at the end of the day

Those hot lights are good in the winter. Get the LED ones from harbor freight for the summer.

Brother .... you're a Godsend! I thought that I'd wrenched on everything: from 5000hp electric motors and gearboxes to printing presses to tire-"rubber" mixers, BUT THEN I got the bright idea to work with my Bro-in-law: FRIGGEN EARTHMOVING AND TRUCKING FFS! Electro-mechanically, there ain't nothin new under the sun, BUT the specific knowledge you bring to the table ALMOST makes me feel like I know what I'm talkin about when it's Mack or Kenworth dump-truck time. THANKS MAN!!!! Keep doin what yer doin.

I'm a auto Mechanic 26 years now can't believe it's been that long, but I've been power washing everything now before working on it. Save so much, brake, clean and breathing them Fumes can't be good. That stuff stinks works out. Good for me.And next time I got to work on it every thing is clean It's years of build up, so you know it takes a long time to get real dirty. Helps the resale as well !!

I kinda like those threaded pins/bushings from a maintenance/design view. Kinda nice.

Did my auto apprenticeship here in Australia in the early 80s and don’t even drive let alone work on trucks but I still find videos like this really interesting. Great job and thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I don't know anything about trucks or fixing vehicles in general but for aome reason your videos really keep me interested.

@10:05 shows just why he's so good. Puts elbow grease into every job. 😅🙌 Also that mobile press rig is straight genius.

It's hilarious watching the automatic caption creation try to keep up with you. :) Keep it up, Love your style.

Yes! More of these please

Just picked up a magnet from the shop. I'm a tractor-trailer company driver and I love learning more about the vehicles I drive. Thanks for the detailed videos!

As a sign of respect with a job like this I would always pressure clean the area before delivery of the truck to the workshop , Gives the mechanic a better chance of seeing other faults . Less chance of getting grease on the cab floor and steering wheel I have found .

Jimny Crickets that was quite the intro! Your editing skills are improving drastically. As always, love the content you're and inspiration! Keep up the good work my good sir!!!

Great job mentioning cleaning up the job! I'm always telling the kids working with me to take pride in your work. It pays in the long run, even if it means a little more work right now. Not to mention that you just might find something else you might have to fix later if you missed it today

Yeah I do have a question about king pins To adjust for slack on a king pins where do you put the shims and why. I have my own opinion but would very much like to hear from a professional. Thanks so very much for your videos!!!! You are better than most!!!!

These videos are great. Thanks for teaching

Brother I had a shop teacher in high school you're better than he ever was you teach people everything they need to know it's all about the tools

Awesome Job Devin Love The Long Vids Thanks 😀😊😀

Fascinating stuff sir

Tough work. I don't miss it. You do a great job.

I was a truck mechanic in my early 20's (the late 1900's). Back then, the spring pins weren't threaded (at least not on the trucks I was working on). The inside of the bushings had all these channels and dimples like a golf ball to hold grease. I have seen the pins with the two holes for the spanner, but didn't know what they were for...now I know they are threaded pins! Good stuff, man! I really enjoy your videos.

Defo appreciate you taking the time to go a bit more in depth in a 'how to do'. Seems like you've got a few porta power mobile hydraulics, are they all 10 ton or bigger? Can you recommend a particular brand?

You make this look so easy and it can be. Awesome video, cheers :)

love your tool makes this doable

Great job r u always make it look so easy but after a dew thousands it is n thanks for the informative videos n bobs ready for a cold one too

Great work sir.

Funny guy, and your methods aren't far removed for us folks with really old pickups (53 Chevy).

NIce vid ! Always fun and informative, well mostly sometimes.

Even though I work on coaches with full air suspension, I watch all your videos to learn more about the larger suspension as much as I can, coming from automotive! Thank you for the great content and info!

Jpaydirt has said your name in his videos before. Good job on cleaning up the old shmag.

Your content is great! Keep up the awesome work my good friend!👍

Bendon you're a hard workin son of a gun and I appreciate you. You make it look easy boss, but I know it ain't.

Great information

Awesome work Brother

Thank you teacher.

Awesome video

Fun stuff! Hi from Michigan

love this content....thank you

Good video I don’t have a need for spring bushings but now I have KZfaq university videos to guide me how to do it!😂

Thank you I’ve learned some tips

Thanks for the info!

More. Need more videos mate. U sir, are a master of his trade. And I, fucking love watching you do your thing mate. Respect from australia 🇦🇺 👊

That press fixture is a pretty clever design !

Legend awesome work

that was cool to watch the process i don't work on thing that big but learning stuff thanks

So Wise , Thank You .

I have a 2014 Pete I need to do front spring bushings and possibly springs on this month. Thank you for the concise, super informative, and non-condescending videos! And reach out if you need parts for that old coke truck you're gonna fix up! I'd love to help you out and we have several that will be getting crushed this summer so parts will be cheap!

I love seeing wrenching done

Love it. Would enjoy a mash up with Rainman Rays repairs

Great video 👍

I will probably never use this information, because I'm not CDL territory or a mechanic, but it's always interesting to learn how things work.

Did a set of front springs on a 91 international 9300 that had the spot welds. Need to look through your videos and see if you have any on the springs bushings for the Freightliner airliner suspension. Done of those in my near future.

Great video brother , tiger tool makes a great hydraulic spring bushing remover and installer with all the attachments for every kind of spring bushing and pin for all heavy duty and medium duty trucks . We have one at our shop and it's the ticket bro and you do t need all that stuff your using to remove and install them maybe your shoo will look into getting you the tool .. hope this helps

Definitely agree take pride in your work

Awesome show Devin 🍻🇦🇺

Keep up the good work..

Thanks for showing that alot won't let you see how they do it !!

Nice job Sir

good vid and GREAT hearing LED ZEPPELIN KASHMIR in the back ground... That's your key to the great work buddy... Not afraid to clean the small parts up, & LED ZEPPELIN in the air, combination for excellence....

My 1947 Greyhound bus has threaded spring bushings. Thanks !

I ask my beeline rep when they will be sending you the upgraded machine. He was very surprised at how old your laser was. Hopefully the sponsorship will workout

really good job

Great video. Even the synthetic greases are cheaper than replacing parts. Don't understand why people don't grease things

King pins replacement as I understand how to. But I'm not sure when installing the shims. And installing wheel seals and bearing. But the installing tighten sequence and torque.

take pride in your work! yessir

I wished I had that press when I changed mine years ago!

Good stuff

Rainman Ray in FL? Or maybe go on up to upstate NY and have Eric O. at South Main Auto show you some rust?

You are the man!!!!

Using a five in one. A man of class I see.

Tiger Tool should sponsor you and if they dont you should still get the bushing tool. It's so much lighter and faster than working with the big setup you have. Granted your setup works great but you know how it is when you do this work everyday. Good video, keep it up.

That bushing tool looks shop made. There's quite a few trucks with washers between the spring and shackles. Mack tends to do things differently. Good job there.

Can you do a video on S-Cams, Cam bushings and brake Pins/Bushings. I’ve lost count on the number of times I heard or been told that nobody worries with that stuff and they have never had a problem with any of that on their trucks. But somehow I always find an issue in on my first load anytime we run together and im using one of their trailers. 50 mikes down the road I’m pulling the rest stoop with my temp gun in hand trying to identify which set of brakes is dragging and keeping me from costing/screw up my gear sift timing. They claim to have just had the brakes adjusted but when I use the draw bar to check s-cam slack, we get an inch or more of slop when we lift up with the bar. Having to replace the spider ain’t. I fun especially if you gotta cut it off and weld on a replacement. They probably still won’t grease the tube but maybe they will change those wear items before they wear through and start eating into stuff that Ms not made to be replaced every 200k

Thank you

Hey bendin, I live my diesels too, but mine float er did 😅

Those are some handy power tools to have for those jobs.

Freedom tool is a great place to get some of those tools from. And made in USA.

Like the long form content.

GREAT VIDEO !! ILL BUY YOUR COFFEE !!

8:03 After numerous videos I finally got some relief. BEEEEEEP!

@ 7:38 You said an entire mouth full right there!!!!! And you are spot on!!!! That young ans don’t quite understand. lol.

Awesome!

6:04 🤣 Last noise I expected to hear.

10:40 i like how you refer to a 2013 as older...lmao i was working on that Macks great great great great granddad not long ago. Old trucks never due they just go to broker companies lol.

Show a little more on your home made bracket for pushing the spring pins in and out. Thanks

I got this job coming up on my W9. Does a guy need to make a press like that or can I get away with heat and beat or air hammering them buggers out? Looks simple enough. My W9 is a little different setup but, similar.

If you ever work Sprinter Van I’d really like to see .

I have a 1987 Nissan d21 and I need to replace the bushings what would you recommend for a light truck like mine I mostly travel on road and sometimes off road

For content, I think a good instructional video would be frame health on a vehicle being purchased. Many people may not know how much frame pitting, rust, what kind of damage, etc etc is ok or not ok. I think people would benefit from seeing a video on what to look for, and what to avoid when purchasing a truck based on frame condition. One thing I see a lot is quicky spray paint jobs on trucks being sold that basically just hides the frame condition in favor of a sale.

I'm waiting for someone to say that a real mechanic puts the stands under the oil pan..........................😁 Thanks for the videos Man because it's more fun when you don't need to do that stuff anymore and you can watch someone else and learn a few things!

I'm a driver at a company with dump trucks and semis that go offroad in construction and landfill work, very heavy loads and traveling on salt covered roads for half the year. I can see why our spring bushings commonly go out
