One side we used a Furnco, on the other side we used a cast iron hub compression coupler made out of rubber!

Get on it!

Yep, it sounds like they were just spraying it from the outside straight on without removing the outer cover, which will definitely get junk stuck in the fins. It has to be at an angle if from the outside. But good job there. Also, you have to be careful using a pressure washer, because it can flatten the fins and keep the condenser from breathing. 👌

Nope

Before or after? Lol

We should have shown the before and after, but it was very fogged up before we started. I started the video after he had already started on the right side.

I’ve used this and it didn’t work… 🤷‍♂️

All this does is fill in the scratches with the product to make it look smooth/clear. This will wash off within a few months if your lucky sooner more likely. Sand paper and clear coat will last longest

This is true, a clear coat is a more long term solution.

You can use the bluemagic headlight lens sealer to help it last longer. We sell it for like $9.59

One of us needs schooling, and since I have done this for the past 6 years with perfect results, Im thinking it is you. You do not need to block airlines because you release the truck brakes, but not the trailer and you roll. If you buy a factory 7 Pin to 7 blade, your brakes, tail and turn on the trailer will not function properly. You need the adaptor I recommended. Also, I spliced the wiring all in the 7 to 7 adaptor cord, not the truck!!!! So I didn't hurt any factory wiring and I solder and heat shrink, so I never cause more issues. Next, if you are dumb enough to run the brake light switch voltage to the trailer brakes, you are running full electricity (12v) to the trailer. This will cause a major brake meltdown on the trailer in like 2 blocks because it will be stopping a truck that out weighs the trailer, plus the trailer itself. You need a brake controller!!!! If I were you, I would ask a few questions before coming in all guns a blazing, all the while being wrong. As for the fenders, I had a tire blowout last year and the fender kept the tire from harming the trailer 100%. It worked perfect. In fact, you can see the bump up in the fender where the tire blew instantly and hammered the fender, but not the trailer. I pounded it out afterword, but you can see it where the inner tire let go. And the brake away cord, it very nicely fits onto the 5th wheel handle and can not come undone without human intervention, so that advice wasn't needed. And that is 100% legit as far as a DOT stop. There is nothing more needed than what I went over, and you cannot get away with anything less. Good day

@@Autogurugenious you missed what i was saying about the brake box, if you knew what you were doing you would also know you adjust the voltage to the trailer brakes on the box itself. Also shutting off the air lines to the trailer allows you to use all the braking power of the tractor. because when the trailer valve is pulled out you dont get hardly any air to the drive axle brakes. and i been doing this over 30 years. one day you youtube "truckers will learn. Hopefully before you slide thru a traffic light and kill someone,

@@jaywilliamson9860 I didn't miss what you said, you were wrong. You were also wrong about the need for a controller box and where to get brake light voltage. The truck stops on a dime, even in the rain so sorry to disappoint you and your genius. You are maybe 1 for 3 so far because I cant speak to the air brakes but I will find out. Im not a truck driver either way, but you already knew because you just know things.

Turns out you are 0 for 3. I wanted to be really sure before blabbering out false information, clearly an issue you dont have, and I was right. I have the air lines obviously hooked up where they are blocked ( In the holding brackets from factory) So when I release the yellow air button, my truck rolls freely and all the brakes available on the truck function as they should. So you might have 80 years experience, but you hit the Trifecta of being wrong on this one. I just hope everyone else enjoys the video and gets creative when towing an RV. Creative in a better, safer way like I did.

The conversion box fixes the issue of the truck lights being different than the trailer lights. Auto systems use the turn signal switch to interrupt brake lights when a turn signal is on. It interrupts the side that flashes. Trucks, at least this one doesn't do that, hence the box. As for brake lights, you cant just send a brake light signal to the trailer, it will smoke the brakes on the trailer, because it will be 100% braking. So you need a brake controller. Lastly, this truck didn't have any free circuits from the fuse panel, and it would not have been easy to run the wires either way. The batter is 2 feet from the drivers area, and I fused it right off the battery. I made all my splices in the 7 pin to 7 blade adaptor, so I did not alter one thing on my Mack. I hope this helps bud

And also every plug used is for outdoor all weather conditions.

Yes duallys are fine. I thought I said that in the video but it may have been the other one I made. I said single tire trucks scare me in 100 degree days on a turn when hauling a 5th wheel. When I used a 7 pin to 7 blade, something didnt work. I think the trucks separate everything, so the trailer needs to interrupt the turn signal, and the truck turn has separate lights so if the brakes and turn are on, the side the turn is on will not flash, its full on brake lights. Hence the $30 adaptor. You can mount a brake controller on the trailer itself, but that is rough and it will be exposed to the outside. All my taping into wires was on the 7 to 7 adaptor, so I never spliced into the trucks factory wiring. I hope this helps

@@Autogurugenious Roger that, me and 240hp can get down the road eventually. When I left CA during the crash, 89 250 with an ancient inline 6, gooseneck ran over the scales at 26870, inflated the tires by observed temperatures, if they're hot add another 5psi, eventually ended up with 85/105/90 @115F across the axles, a little high for 10 ply tires but the temps stayed rock steady for a cross country trip. wasn't a great idea but had to get r done. 51mph max and I certainly treated that weight with a lot of extra caution.

Yes it is! That's ya Boy!

Your math stinks. I guess for all you pure people, I should have said 10 wheels hauling the weight, and 4-8 pulling if the dif is locked. Thanks for picking the video apart and totally getting the point. Where can I see your videos?

Cause it's outside...

@@user-nd1lq3ee3j What's outside? Me or the video? Regardless of your answer, it's wrong.

@@admiralshikimori6960 You're totally right.

Sorry the video was shot on a Lytro Light Field Camera so the exposure was a bit out of wack. Our apologies-Bamberger’s

My bad, Diesel

8 pulling, my bad. As you see the mud, I had 8 pulling this weekend. I have them locked in. Thanks for noticing

I dunno what kind of trucking background you have if any, but if not, check out ARI Legacy sleeper bunks. They will blow your mind. Full kitchen and premium bathroom with jacuzzi tub. Pretty much a RV with a class 8 5th wheel and a road tractor cab. That said even the 84” & 96” factory sleeper bunks are very well appointed and you can get things like skylights for the person in the top bunk to have a clear view of the night sky and a lot of them will have mobile Directv dishes and receivers, have mini fridge and freezer and mini kitchen not unlike the one in your camper but not quite as big, built in tv & entertainment inputs with quasi surround sound and the lower bunk converts to a seating booth and table. I have always said that is the only way I would ever own a RV would be a platinum or diamond class Peterbilt 387 with a 96” sleeper and a 5th wheel camper.

Agreed. My sleeper Mack isn't very pretty but would be nice to be able to stop and rest.

@@Autogurugenious I love Macks, even the ugly ones. I hated the OTR Mack I drove for a couple of years but I really miss my gold dog double stack Mack with a window in the back. If I ever decide to get back on the road, I would try to find something like a gold dog CH600 475 horse and a Travis Rockstar Ti trailer

I wouldn't consider that an upgrade. What he has is a pretty nice truck

@@joecummings1260 and some folks think a 1984 Chevy Citation is better than a Rolls Royce but they don’t make sense either. His day cab is fine if he never has any extra guests and doesn’t want better fuel mileage and appearance doesn’t matter because if he likes a Mack CH then he can send it to ARI and get a sleeper added but the point is there’s no way for passengers to sleep on long trips and if you had ever been around small children you would know that somewhere to send them that they can sleep or watch movies is the most important thing you can have for a long trip

I am looking for a single axle but this truck still works daily so I need a dually

I averaged 9mpg with a 600 cummins and eaton RTO18 & that was pulling a big heavy tanker trailer

It may be higher. Truth be known I didn't check it. She pulls like nothing is hooked up, that's what I love.

You are correct, but the point remains. If it gets too hot, it will melt. Usually only a problem if using an oxy acetylene torch for A/C brazing.

Our main concern here was not burning the floor or wall.

😲

Actually, it's a gas motor.
