Wassup rusty, I haven’t been around much but i watched all you otr series before I became a driver almost 2 years ago now. After my first year I went and got myself a truck. I’m flat bedding now. This video will be exactly what I would be looking for some time down the road. I stay away from labor rates on maintenance lol
My dad started out as a machinist and worked his way into estimating the cost of the work to make a profit and keep the customers happy. I swear dad's are great, they can usually do anything. Your dad was probably thinking, put the damn camera down and quit wasting time. You could probably make more money as a mechanic and repairing stuff, then driving.
Rusty, what about putting some vinyl stripes on the trailer to cover the scrap it's not that expensive and covers up the ugly marks. Take care and stay safe.
The friction surface of the brake drum and the brake friction material are contaminated by oil or grease. (393.47(a)). That means it’s an out of service violation by the FMCSA. Pull into a scale and let them find those brake shoes contaminated with oil and they will ticket you for it
@@TheRustyCracker i hope and follow Since you drove in snowy condition and blizzard or heavy rain and poor visibility too, it is good to install red strong fog light with old 21w bulb(not led) to not get frozen and good visibility from behind
If the tire inflation hoses are leaking inside the hub can it pressurise the hub and push oil past the rear seal, maybe that is the first thing to check, I dislike them systems
“A loose bearing is a happy bearing” is what I was taught. Not literally loose, basically that over tightening will burn them up. It’s all by feel. I don’t know how these internet keyboard warriors would ever be able do it, they need a torque spec for everything.
Once the brake shoes/liners have been contaminated with oil/grease they need changing ,cleaning the shoes/liners is no good as soon as the shoes/ liners get hot the grease/oil will come out reducing the friction with the drum
@@ky.gambler5281 Nah, i will try and explain ,oil and grease soak into the lining material , and every time the brakes are applied this causes heat,so the soaked in oil seeps out seducing the friction , the only cheat would be to replicate this by using a blow torch to heat the linings then clean off the liner until there is no more oil coming out , this has its problems as it makes the rivets brittle.
what kind of seal do you use...Gray seal Harp seal Northern elephant seal Hawaiian monk seal Harbor seal Northern fur seal Guadalupe fur seal Weddell seal Antarctic fur seal Leopard seal Australian sea lion Galápagos fur seal Ringed seal Baikal seal Caspian seal Walrus
What he was doing here isn't dangerous, if it was loaded it would be a different story. I've changed these seals for 44 years without a jack stand, but used bottle jacks. It will only drop about 4 inches if the jack fails..
Your wrong he did a good job he mentioned torquing the wheel nuts Iv'e seen so called mechanics that did not do that, an owner operator that won't do some basic repairs is one that will probably fail.
Who els will do this by themselves to save $300?
Not menu I know that
If I can make it home with it or catch it early hell yeah. I would have replaced to shoes though...they ain't expensive.
I definitely would
I’m a diesel mechanic and wow I’ll see you in a shop soon

Proper seal job :)
I get you with the heat, Im in a winter wonder land and we got 25C right now, its getting to me. Haha

I was thinking something like that or a funny meme like “T Rex Did This “ idk
nice job rusty
Thanks 👍
Lucas is king though. I had a busted wheel seal not too long ago, all the oil came out and if I didn’t use Lucas I could’ve lost my bearings.
Can you post the tools need to remove the large nut? What size ? Thanks
The synthetic grease works much better than gear oil in the bearings..
Rusty, Kool video for sure, your Dad is a Kool pop.
Looking forward to new content.
He said thank you

Hey what’s up bro how are you much love
Good you?
What is more important money or safety...🤔🤔
Money

Tool cost is the major thing on this
Posted 12 hours ago and youtube has not notified me of a new video yet. WTF!
Vnl trucks a al barsha 3
He's right but you still have to have a lot of money....
What money? Lol
Nice video if i was you chang all 4 axle seal save big money and time on the road some drivers prefer grease axle much safer on the road
Thank you
@@TheRustyCracker you are welcome anytime

Nah..,,
@@TheRustyCracker Nah is not the correct answer
@@Richiecorner65 if so it will burn off within 5 miles.. his shoes barely had any oil on the edge.

I FEEL your wheels may come off
Tax write off 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
But learning is key tho lol
I'm not so sure that was the right Jack for the weight of that trailer,no axle stands either just in case the hydraulics in the jack failed
Risk is life
@@TheRustyCracker yeah but risk like that could also be"end of life" and nobody wants that to happen to you
@@johnmoloney5296idk some people do lol

Typical owner op thinking they know how to work on there stuff but have no clue
lol I’m not just a regular owner operator….. if u know my channel then you should know better then to say that
Thats right, that pussy dont know shit
Explain what was done wrong in your opinion? #FJB and his administration
@@ky.gambler5281 this guy just doesn’t know that I have fully rebuilt a flipped upside down semi truck and trailer,,, don’t blame him lol

Why do you total so much equipment?Your driving record must be terrible
Sorry what?
Omg. Fukn liberals are breeding and voting .. TRUMP 2024
