Reference king pins. I always Jack front end off ground, to relieve pressure. Turn tires left, by hand, grease, turn tires right, grease. Then work tires back and forth. Big difference in longevity.

@bussamio Год назад

I had a tech that would always advise drivers to change their kingpins when they wouldn't accept grease. I knew he was wrong when I found out that you should be lifting that wheel when greasing that kingpin like you advised.

@@youtubeisawesome2487 what do you recommend?

@Hypnotikshiva Год назад

I would recommend lowering your landing gears, once they touch the ground lower your tractor bags, and proceed to unlock to move the 5th wheel, all the loaded pressure should be off and lot easier to move.

@travelinghamburger6093 Год назад

My truck has leaf springs and drivshaft that is a completely sealed system, no grease fitting at all on the U-joints. Would you recommend having them installed?

@ethanheins1820 9 месяцев назад

Not at all! Non greasable Ujoints are higher quality, not only in longevity but also in strength. Look un Spicer non greasable UJoints

@chrisferrell1037 9 дней назад

Factory sealed items like leaf springs, u-joints, and gear boxes makes it easier as its less to fight with. I wouldn't mess with it till it breaks.

@Montoya1991 Год назад

so we're supposed to grease the truck once every 10k miles? I grease it after every 3k miles, 2 pumps on the grease gun, is that bad for the bushings?

@joehighsmith2951 Год назад

The more the better. You can break your monthly milage into an A and B service. Do these things on the A and these things on the B. Keep a book with all replacement parts numbers, volumes and types of fluids will make future maintenance easier

Grease the fifth wheel , raise the trailer slightly above the fifth wheel and back tractor stopping before coupling . Lower trailer and complete couple .

@lorenzomorganjr.6585 Год назад

That's actually the proper way to connect a recently greased fifth wheel to a trailer. I also, lower my air bags to the fifth wheel (when the fifth wheel has been recently greased) and slowly back under the trailer (without having the fifth wheel touch the trailer) before coupling to the trailer (then I raise my air bags until the fifth wheel touches the trailer and then I back the tractor until it connects to the trailer without having any of the grease slide up to the top of the fifth wheel).

@americantrucker9813 Год назад

In my opinion. You should grease no differently than you would do PMs it all depends on Applications! OTR will get the longest intervals.But me personally I treat my truck As severe duty so regardless of my application which is Regional/Local/OFF-Road I grease Weekly, i PM Every 10,000 miles or Less. I Run Oil samples every time. I run Fuel Additives & Oil Additives. I could Push it longer but my truck is 8 years old with 750,000k so I don’t wait until things are bad before I service them. Like the old timers say “be good to her and she’ll be good to you” God Bless

@magdilouis1875 9 месяцев назад

10 k oil changes, that's insane....w today's synthetic oils....u can easily go to 50 k w oil sample! Even higher w good oil filter changed at 50 k! ✌️

"I would recommend replacing your grease gun tip".... Or at least tighten it down if you can on that tip. Zerks aren't the problem if every single zerk isn't sealing with the gun tip.....

@RomanEmpire16 Год назад

That's actually incorrect Adam you see you have to drop your air bags when you get under your trailer with fresh Grease on the fifth wheel after your under then raise the airbags that should raise the fifth wheel on the trailer without it sliding any Grease off

@Taras-Nabad 17 дней назад

Keep in mind you are inserting a liquid into an area that you cannot see through. So the only way you know of you put enough is if it comes out the other end. I have heard too many so called mechanics say just three trigger pulls per grease fitting. That's truly bad advice.

@TATEXPRESSINC 15 дней назад

Great point! In most areas, seals keep dirt and water out. Over filling until the grease burst out would break the seal that is designed to keep grease in and dirt/water out. This is why the time application is recommended in some application .

@rodchandlerii6922 Год назад

You are absolutely wrong about pumping grease into it until it comes out. That is called over greasing. That is how you blow seals out. You guys put a lot of great content out but this one starts out wrong right in the beginning

@rs3maniac178 Год назад

Which ones have seals? Ive never noticed any seals on ujoints and slack adjusters. Only been greasing my truck for 2 years so honest question.

@PSALM-144-1 Год назад

The seals on your slack, tie rods, drag link, u-joints s-cams and every other place you put grease to it. You shouldn’t over grease cause then that causes grim and dirt to accumulate around those joints causing premature wear on those components.

@rs3maniac178 Год назад

@@PSALM-144-1 oh yeah! All those seals are already busted on mine im used to seeing them ooze a little. But thats right after i replace them dont want to balloon those again!
