Emergency air port. Which replicates spring brakes released. No need for the caging bolt. I do a lot of piggy backs for sake of speed I hook up service truck air to retract piston. It is handy for any situation where you would normally use caging bolt.

So how many 318's service calls did you go on where all you had to do was reset the air door on top of the blower?

@@billcovert3473 You are right kinda forgot about that .Now that brings up memories of changing out striped blower drives and couplings !!

@@bensanders2871 Last one of those I did was on Hwy.36 in Lassen Park. Eat your heart out lol. Although I was not a big Detroit man I did a few. Check out my fuel system tester, it was great locating internal fuel leaks on a not running engine. I was a better Cummins man than Detroit.

Thanks. Uploading I had to get neighbor to hold my hand. I am not slow, I can straight legged touch my toes, Raise leg over truck front bumper and tire as good as the kids, crawl on my shoulder blades underneath truck, work till mid night. BUT recovery time is a lot rougher. I stay away from brakes, wheel seals and suspension. Currently doing a body rebuild. If things go as hoped I will finish truck tour in a tee shirt. Should look pretty good. Retirement plan"D", marry rich widow.

Thanks! I will see what I can do.

@@billcovert3473 excellent, been a heavy truck diesel mechanic 17 year's now, would be great to hear you're thoughts on it

@@niallcosgrove5596 I been in the trade since 1970. What i would do better if could do again would have kept my gym attendance more serious, concentrated on core, learned proper diet. Blew back out in 1988, had three shoulder surgeries, currently doing a body rebuild at 76. The saying "pay me now or pay me later" is written stone. Your body is your main tool.

@@billcovert3473 that's along time, I feel like workshop conditions are much better now, than the would have been back in the 70s but great advice to hear maybe one day you'll make a video on you're experience in the trade

Thanks, I enjoy service truck tours, you get to see how the working mechanic thinks. Much different than tool box tours with shinny tools.

I thought about it, but just don't have anything handy to hook up to. I was hoping most of the professional guys would comprehend how to use once they saw the concept.

Well thank you! I got a couple more in mind, shortly.

Yes, I have lost about 4 of them, the new ones are cheap junk.

Yes, not much chrome to polish, the man is showing some wear too.

@@billcovert3473 good stuff, I work with a few guy's at the truck dealership that have been doing it 35 + year's not much chrome left on them

The electronic ears gets me in the general area, the soap bottle is for fine adjustment.

Thanks for watching!

I was viewing your truck tour and seen you also have some 12 point Blue Point round handle tubing wrench's, along with a set of Snap On box wrench's. I took those out of service truck. The only time I would use the box wrench's was doing some frame work. Great wrench but just took up space.

You are fast. It is a good tool for minimizing body wear.

@@billcovert3473 hahaha... because I have my own channel, I'm on alot...

The OTC? They were good but short lived. I think they had to many warranties because they were being used as die's rather than chasers. I used it for the final thread cleaning after I had worked the heavy damage with the old style OTC thread restorer.

Thanks for your comments. This is a road service business, light duty work, it is where heavy duty blows out it's back goes in order to keep working. Protect your body bro..

BWP They are into truck wheel end fastener's, part #M1942. This is for trailer axle thread chasing.

You got that right, that was a special generation. They had roller tool box/work bench they made. Used ball bearing roller bearings as wheels, 1/4 plate tops, weighed a ton, but they could get a lot of work done on them. I was amazed as to their ingenuity in building their own tools. That is what i enjoy on service truck tours as to how the minds of the mechanics think in setting up their service beds.

Thanks buddy 😁👍 Have a great weekend.

Awesome content and great to hear the experience and complete confidence in your voice.

The stud tool? It is a Snap On. They were almost standard issue in the older truck shops.

@@billcovert3473 The impact sockets in the red case

You set the standard Sir!

I didn't know that. Hopefully that will apply to the older guy who runs them.lol

@@billcovert3473 😂 keep going strong old man , you’re kicking ass.
