Back here in the UK we have agricultural machinery engineers, heavy goods vehicle engineers and heavy construction plant engineers. You are one hell of a guy to combine all three trades especially as you work alone!
Warren, you are the man! Watching you take that wheel off reminded me of when I spun socket circles on an aluminum rim. I was a high school kid working at a tire shop and didn't realize the standoff depth and used the wrong socket. The truck owner was not happy but thankfully the boss paid to have them polished out and didn't grief me at all.
You're a very cool guy. I admire you in many ways. Been watching you for a few months now. Your videos are very entertaining and your personality is like an old friend. Your work is beyond amazing and I consider you genius. Thanks for making your videos. Keep up the awesome work. Peace and safety to you and your family. God Bless
I had to chuckle at the crack at Anderson Bros transmission. I've never had a good experience with that place when I lived on that side of the mountain. St. John transmission in Portland has been a good resource so far though. Keep up the good work and be safe.
Storms and fires kind of go together. The uplift from the fires moves air further up in the air column than seasonal air does. It takes surface ionization with it. if that build up to a high enough differential, the air gap closes as the differential charges seek equilibrium. Burning vegetable matter includes water vapor as a product of combustion; the soot creates an point that chills below dew point to collect that water vapor. The uplift then (esp. in mountainous areas) carries the combo to an altitude where it freezes, building up more water vapor. This repeats in the updrafts until the ice fragment is to heavy to be liften any more, and it falls through the warmer air, where it melts into a rain droplet. Sometimes this combines to create a small convective storm, or it just rains itself out where the condition are no longer right enough. It's very micro climate.
Well ima say I just went thru wheel seals at my school and those nuts torque 200 then brake free a 1/4 turn then 50ftlbs then ur washer then the other nut is torqued to 200 anyways love ur videos and watch every one I can I get so much great knowledge from u and then find out it helps me in school and one day in it will help me in the field
Warren, you're the best. That big-ass pry bar in your back pocket is as big as you. I would have scratched the truck, knocked over the camera and maybe even have stabbed my butt. You're a pro! Thanks for the vids - they're awesome!
Pretty cool we get to go for a ride in a tractor!!Hard to believe you had gears spread from here to next week and put it all back together and it works like new!!! Never new trucks used oil for wheel bearing lube. Probably works better than grease. I really enjoy these videos!!
Spicer LMH hub bearings--- nice just torque em and dowel pin lock em and torque the lock nut and bend the keeper....Timken bearing manual.... seals last and last just periodic bearing re torque and goes years and years.. Nice work Warren ...
I am so glad my truck has Disc brakes, when i lose a seal it doesn't get all over the pads and super easy to change out pads too... I wish more people would power wash after a blown seal, my stupid mechanics use ether to clean everything and wonder why i need new sight glass hubs after i've pulled the plug a few hundred times to check the oil because i cant see through the frosted plastic from ether.
Warren , you know your sh__ I drove semis and six wheel dump trucks on and off for 30 years. On road, off road. Also 53fts tri state all four reasons . Also containers of every size known to man. Love your clutch adjustments. Your the man ✌️😎👍
Good to know I'm not the only one who can't stand anything Stemco. Warren I'm with you on the cr seals but I'm now a huge fan of the Rev HD seals. Truck Pro & Napa carry them. Rev HD has an awesome warranty that if they leak they'll replace the seal & brake shoes. Love the Rev HD
Not sure if you have the mechanics version, but I've used one of those long Irwin woodworking squeeze clamps, you flip around the handle so its an inside clamp instead of outside, then you can push and hold brake/clutch/throttle with a good amount of adjustment and pressure.
The problem is that the population is stuck in a coastal valley or in a valley between mountain ranges. The inversion from pollution (fires, transport, manufacturing and agriculture) means that unless California reduces it, its gonna get worse. Although I feel bad for small operators, its the 50+ fleets that seem to be targeted. But don't agree with me, as I hate the tandem drivers around here: no longer decent folks but idiots that text and speed with 20+ tons of gravel. Already had one guy that was sleep-deprived run into someone's home!
@@xoxo2008oxox You sound like you know what you're talking about. Do you have text I can read? I would assume forest fires occurring over the course of millennia would outstrip pollution caused by fuel-burning machines that have only been in existence (in the West Coast) for say 150 years. California's emission requirements don't make sense to me. Manufacturing machines produce a significant amount of pollution. Taking these machines out of service and recycling them also produces pollution. These emission requirements significantly reduce the service life of these machines making it necessary to produce more in shorter and shorter time periods. Not to mention the fact that these regulations have completely decimated small businesses and independent operators. Unfortunately, California emissions are being used as a model in other states, further destroying industry. The cost-benefit doesn't seem to add up. Maybe all the "pollution" in the air has caused Californians to developmental disorders in the form of socialism. In that case, I'm all for strict emissions regulations if it solves the sickness!
@@Jasonhb07 Different type of pollution Bit like v The icelandic volcano that put more co2 into the atmosphere that man kind ever has The bigger problem is particularly for California and similar coastal city's with mountain boardering The pollution stays right over the city it doesn't get blown away And it's not co2 that's the main issue it's the nox, culters and other gasses produced from burning oils Weather or not we're altering the environment beyond its natural cycles is debatable But locally without any regulations it gets messy quick Look at the smog over some Asian city's Or los angeles 1970s
I sure dont miss doing wheel seals on the heavy cast steel Malco/spider hubs that were common in Australia for a long time before 10 stud wheels took over. The spacer between bearings is a good thing, provided you can get them torqued up correctly. Volvo hubs need 500 ft/lb !
Warren with them GKN axles its real easy over tighten them its a good idea to stop overtightening the bearing with spacer never seen one on that type of axle before
They're really fun when someone decides to throw a 1-piece brake in there and then you have to get the old one cut out. I don't even know why they even bother making 1-piece ones anymore.
Thanks Warren, Did not know the big trucks wheel bearings were wet lubed. Is that because of the weight so the hubs do not get hot because of friction support from grease?
i alway set my breaks 3/4 back off on front , 1/2 back off on drives and 1/4 back off on trailer. if some person calls with valent breaking problems on the steer axle . ask if thay had new tires put on . .. antilock break when you put new tires on, it freaks out the computer .valent breaking happens. BACK OFF FRONT BREAKS
Glad to see that case 2390 running again. Warren, Is there Any Equipment You Have'nt work on ? You are the Mechanic of the Year. Thats for all your videos.
Proper job. You are a very talented guy. Pity that these know it all graduates do not have some of the knowledge you have in your little finger.(Those welding rod end bits don't do tyres any good.)
Just wanted to let you know that I have learned a lot from you. I watched your 7.3 rebuild because I have one in my 2000 F350. You keep on doing what your doing. As for the other idoits out there who don't know jack. I have tee shirt for them. It goes (Walk away. I'm a Grumpy old. I was born in April. I have anger issues and a serious dislike for stupid people!) Take care be careful out there
If ya have to make a dowty washer in a hurry Put an oring on the bolt then get a washer that's got a hole slightly smaller than the outside of the oring outside dia size Make sure it's a bit thinner than the oring Our maintenance supervisor didn't want to keep (unnecessary) spares on hand on our site Unecessery crap like a dowty washer kit when we were 13hrs from the nearest town And I was in charge of looking after a komatsu pc2000 and a pc 1200 Drove me up the wall waiting on stupid parts all the time
Please put you a safety under equipment. I wouldn't trust that truck sitting on a bottle jack. You don't want it on top of you. Just want you safe. Would like to see a more detailed instructions on the clutch brake some time. Great video!
4 Times now I`ve had to go rescue a truck to put on a new wheel bearings and seals and use my winch to get the duals out of the bush because they filled the bearing just enough to see the oil but not wait till the oil stays in the sight glass ,I see you`ve had that before too fill then turn it over and over ,Don`t take much to cook a seal hey then they come back and look stupid well I did fill it few weeks back DUH ! --Do you think the front Valve guides will go in that case , Like them old Ford Clevelands and 429s The upper valve & seals always cooked out because not enough oil supply or not run enough to let it filter then build up a cake around the Rocker pins ?
@@billbord3205 Lmao yeah, I've been there too. When everything you work on is a oily or muddy mess, I know I dread getting on the ground under some of this shit.
@@ericcorse Oh most definitely. Theres no way he could use his personal washing machine. Let's face it, his wife would probably flip out on him when she goes to put her clothes in there after a couple pairs of those coveralls get washed.
That trk, with new seal and pads,I didn’t notice if you adjusted the dvrs side brake,that was a must for me when I was runnin trucks around the country. I always figure it may pull to the right in this case, I’ve watched enough of your vids to know you know know well what’s going on,just curious?
The only thing I didn't understand was on the case you saying I need to wash it before he comes and get it. Geez, do any of these people clean anything up before that send it to you. I have always cleaned stuff and disassembled stuff before a service tech came. I feel stupid paying someone $100 per hour to remove some sheet metal, to blow off the equipment, or wash it off. That's just me though. I started to learn how to fix everything because if I wasn't making those wages doing what I was doing how could I justify paying someone else to take the time to do the basic things.
Man you need some help a trainee or a apprentice I’d love to help you but here in New Zealand it’s a bit far and I’m 60 so my time may be limited a bit but there must be some keen young person over there that wants to learn.
Question what happened to the helper , you had in the shop working on the front axle of the green tractor , and the 2 dozers out side with the tracks.?
Do you wear earplugs ever? I see you running an impact or sledging on something where I know my ears would be bleeding. Never wore ear pro until a few years ago. I've got tinnitus which could be from that or something else. I enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.
