Thank you for the video and all the information that you provide. I would really like to tell you thank you very much has been a big help to understand. This breaks when I have drove drums 90% of my Trucking career. Thank you very much.
I have a question on this I have a Volvo with desk brakes they only last for a year they are not wearing off. They just cracking all around the routers and I have to replace them every year.
Was great ! I was lost today never dealt with one. The adjuster was frozen would turn either way an i brake the hub tool. Now i need to find out how to free up the adjuster an guide pins
So far I have 250,000 miles and I'm still on my first set of both pads and rotors and the pads are about half way worn and there doesn't look to be any wear on the rotors so far. Of course your mileage may vary.
Great video. My only criticism is the presenter should take a few doses of oxypowder to remove some of the digestive inflammation. Other than that very good contribution
this is a bad system never manufactured in the truck system for many reasons # 1 the price # 2 they run out very quickly # 3 the discs are very expensive involves a lot of expense for everything
Its expensive because is not popular maybe. But I will pay extra in order to have the peace of mind that I have more stoping power when I need. It is beyond comprehension as to why drum brakes are still being used in the trucking industry. The one job of a braking system is to convert kinetic energy into heat, and drum brakes are about if not the worse solution for getting rid of heat. Drum brakes should be illegal to be equiped in any new truck and a deadline put in place for older trucks to convert, maybe today you will not have a trucker facing a lifetime in jail and 4 people dead. We are not in the 50s were trucks carried 10K pounds at 15mph, we have theses rigs doing 70mph with 80K pounds, its time we bring the truck braking systems in the USA to this century
@@loweskydoleo1332 I have a lot of respect for most Trucker's .I would have to put most blame on the car drivers . When I'm driving my DP RV sometimes it's like they want you to hit them in so many ways unfortunately the Trucker get the blame IMO
In response to the original comment Yes at initial replacement it's expensive and complex. But once the aftermarket caught up They've made it extremely simple for service I have found them far superior to drum for many things Wear life, fade during use, and service life of original components. Routinely seeing over 800k miles with good operators for original parts. Just routine inspection at an annual basis will head off many problems.
