I still cannot find a good video of what a slack adjuster actually does

Thank you for the video. I am a new learner, and this video helped me better understand the fifth wheel inspection.

if they're automatic slack adjusters why are you adjusting the slack adjuster I always regardless of what kind of brakes I have even supposedly those with automatic slack adjusters I adjust them tighten them all the way up and a quarter turn back. before a Mountain Drive and after a Mountain Drive

The DP motorhome's slack adjusters seems to have some white color grease in it (after the the fact read is may be some clay type grease). Before I realized the different grease, I applied 2 short-pumps of red high-temp grease I used for my entire chassis / drive-train. Can this small amount of a different grease cause a problem? Can I flush most of it out by pumping the right grease through the slack-adjuster?

Thank you.

What is the notched straight edge called? Where did you get it?

Where did you get the checking tools from?

Is there any measure about the shoulder height?

That was great thanks for sharing it

Thanks for your professional truck mechanic advice

We did a complete brake job set them 1/2 turn like you said but my rotors are constantly hot not to the point of catching on fire, but there is definitely some friction going on. Can you please tell me what you think the problem is?

I’m pretty sure that’s not how that works. Automatic slack adjusters for air brake systems adjust as the shoe lining wears down they should adjust to take up slack. What you did was check to see if your tractor protection is working correctly. But i maybe wrong

Great tips ! Where can I get that lubricant at ? Thanks

Why does my overhead door truck is very hard to pull down and close what is the problem??

Great video Mike! I hope you won't mind us sharing this video on the article about roll up doors on our website!

Trying to find out that automatic said one adjustment Rod attached to the Oder hole in the clevis pin so manually adjust slacks

Good video. Is there "Types" of lubricants that are the most recommended over others?

Thank you

Why would my auto adjuster always get to tight on there own

Happy to share the name of a legend

Can you replace manual slack adjusters with automatic ones?

Good job mike

What about a slack adjuster that’s seized won’t tighten or release lol fml ran into that today.

Thank you for thus video!

Thanks

Thanks Very Educational...

What other reason is there to cage the chamber?

Why can’t anyone ever have the trailer I got it’s a 2017 Great Dane the adjustment but looks totally different

I have a question. We have a dry van that has some rot inside the van in the steel plate over top of the upper coupler. It was rotted to the point where pallet jacks punched thru the steel. The repair man welded a thin diamond plate section of metal onto it to cover the holes. Now that diamond plate has pushed up to form a mound and when you go under the trailer and look at the upper coupler plate and king pin the upper coupler plate is definitely concaved up a little with a quarter sized rotted hole just inside the 5th wheel travel area on the upper coupler. Question is, when using a straight edge how much of a gap is acceptable at or near the king pin? Because I measured a gap of approximately 1/2 to 5/8 of an inch and put it out of service but a repairmen that welded the diamond plate inside said that it's ok?!?!

My Freightliner back driver side brake is stuck. I tried to manually adjust the slack adjuster it made that grunting but didn't release the brakes.

Turned out beautifully.

The first time I installed one of these seals I was nervous it was going to leak. I mean it just went in so easy. It's been over 6 months and they are still dry

Question:what was the red tool for?

I like the video quick and simple straight to the point!

What does it mean if an auto slack adjuster starts out in correct adjustment but by the end of a long trip, it is far out of adjustment and the brake pads won't even touch the drum when the brakes are applied?

please give me money i have poor man help you

Hi mike love your video. Ralph Erickson.

Nice

theres no adjustment for automatic slackers

Backing it off against the ratcheting gears is exactly what destroys an automatic adjuster. They're not like the old ones where you simply close the brake against the drum and then back it off a bit. If you've got automatic slack adjusters, have someone press the brake pedal (about 30-35 psi is all you need) while you measure the push rod throw. Your helper presses the pedal, you measure the throw. If you need to tighten it up, then your helper releases the pedal so that you can give it another turn. This way allows you to tighten it little by little until it's where you want it, instead of destroying it. An even better way to do this is have have your helper do the wrenching while you press the brake pedal. It's a mess down there!

What was the stroke measurement before you adjusted the brakes? Jumping right to making adjustments on an automatic adjuster could be covering up other issues.

How many different axles do they cover?

Straight to the point, clear presentation, and executed by a professional. Kudos to the presenter and the video editor. Thank you for keeping it short and simple.

These guys really know what they are doing when it comes to polishing aluminum rims. Very good company to work with, class act!

The 3D print Haldex air disc brake caliper is awesome, looks very cool!!! Amazing!

Been around the block so to speak. Royal has been by far the best company I have ever worked for.

Amazing work!!

Good to know. Is the Gaylord location the only one that does drive shafts?

👍 nicely done
