Tired of coming back from the weekend and trying to do a mission on Monday but can't because your wheels are locked up from forgetting to drain the air tanks or extreme weather freezing you out? Come follow along as I show you some steps you may not have known to save the tax payers some money in maintenance costs and help you get back on the road
Special thanks to my advisor, SSG Nathaniel Watson (88M/ former AIT Instructor) and super meticulous mechanic buddy, SSG William Gabrys (13 year 91B).

Another great video Sergeant! An old school thing to do is to cycle the air tanks, bleed them dry to ensure PVT Snuffy didn't leave the air tanks full for a prolonged time period. For AD this may be an issue, but for NG and and AR units that may have long extended time periods between use, it may happen. Water accumulated in the tank causing rust and other issues. Mud dobbers love to build nests in the air valves, so be cautious when opening valves as the their nest can turn into projectiles.

Absolutely! Ensuring the air tanks are drained can save most the major issues. Driving the trucks routinely helps the rest and that's difficult in some units based off of mission and scenarios like National Guard and Reserve. Thanks for the feedback!

I can imagine trucks parked long-term might have brake issues. Cold weather is another and would be a great class. Pro tip, drain your air tanks, check for moisture, if you have condensation issues have maintenance check the air dryer. If driving through wet snow or slush before parking apply your brakes lightly for a short distance to remove excess water from the drums, it may help. Rocking, applying and releasing the brake's and tapping the bottom of the drum with a hammer are all good ideas.

Thanks for the feedback and tips! We definitely have a lot of trucks not moving around in our motorpools, so the things you mentioned happen often and have catastrophic results. Forgetting to drain the tanks one time and then the truck doesn't get touched for 2-3 weeks and that condensation builds up to a high amount that overwhelms the air dryer initially and some goes through the system

@@Whogives2shets your videos will reach many soldiers and NCO's. As a retired 64C/88M/H I recall the day's of having to write training outlines by hand and referencing FM's, TM's, and anything else I could get my hands on. R.A. permanent party you learned the importance of getting your training on the training schedule giving you the time to properly conduct good training. Having classes like yours is also great for Hip Pocket training as well. Keep up the good work Staff Sergeant! P.S. ( I know how much "fun" goes into caging brakes) multiple recoveries in Iraq, I still have a set of boxed ratchet wrenches.)

@@MudlangenTango thanks a lot, I appreciate the recognition. I hope the videos become tools used by many units and Soldiers. Thanks for your service so I can do mine!

Hooah SSgt! 64Charlie HET (circa 1986 in fact, now routinely referred to/lumped in as, 88M), Salute! (I kept a spcl brake tap-tap-tap mallet for my M818 5tons back in the cold war days). God speed!

Hell yeah! Thanks for your service so I could do mine

Seth, great video, as a maintainer this something I appreciate and value. I will promote your product. Pro-tip to all: discharge air tanks over the weekend to lessen the impact of moisture and rust built-up inside the pneumatic brake system. Have a mechanic do a courtesy check on the air dryer sock (should be replaced under annual services)

@Whogives2shets 2 года назад

Absolutely! Thank you so much for the input and support🙂.
