hey brotha glad you got that working how you wanted! I just wanted to bring up the point of making sure you take a sec and see how the wires are moving now when u tilt it that extra bit, make sure that when u have it fully lowered it isn't pulling on the wires or the trim cover doesn't disrupt anything behind there. Would hate to see you have wiring issues due to chafed/rubbed through wires!
I did this on a w9 and the U joint bound up and locked up pulling into the shop. So if you do this definitely keep that in mind and check everything over.
Thank u for posting that brother. I just did mine. A dope free mod. The key to getting that plastic out is getting it hot with the drill bit lol. Can’t wait to ride out tonight
Watched a guy do this in texas a few years back i left same shop and came upon his wreck he died after going into a curve his steer shaft locked up after a dip in the road he never stood a chance he went straight into a cotton field slammed into a truck shop destroying his truck and eight trucks outside of shop..that plastic piece is an angle controller which prevent steering lock up..be aware please we all love ya brother
Haha well. I took that piece out it's very easy infact few things you gotta remove. And I took my spring out as well.. but you can tilt that whole column even more .. just saying it doesnt end with that white block
Curious, I have done this same thing about 6 years ago to mine and left it at that. But have always wanted a tilt that is equivalent to a passenger vehicle. Have you gone further by tilting the whole column some how? Just curious since I want to retackle this project again.
Hey bro where u ordered that steering wheel with the grip behind it I been looking for it n wanted to order it u mind sending me website to order it from please 🙏🏿
I used one of them cheap wood burning/soldering pens and melted mine out. 😂 Obviously it'll stink for a few minutes but I choose that over beating on it lol. Still wish it would go further down.
So it’s been around a year since you did this, have there been any side effects up to this point? Any binding or premature wear showing up? Does the wheel still lock in place solidly? How is the driveability ? Has it been affected in anyway?
I did this to mine but my check engine light came on showing a code for stearing angle or something like that can’t really remember. Did yours come on?
There are no steering sensors in the column, you're smoking crack. We've done this mod on 12 trucks in our fleet, all 389s. I repeat... there is absolutely no sensor in the steering column throwing a steering angle code.
@@trucking4racecars You could of used a punch & hammer 🔨,tooken the pin out and brought down the sleeve. That’s ok,you got it anyways. Keep up the good work. Yeah,it’s supposed to be pressed in,that’s where the punch comes in at.
You tap out both the upper and lower pins, remove the entire assembly, remove sleeve and spacer and reassemble. Sanchez trucking has a tutorial, no tolerances are affected.
PLEASE, DO NOT DO THIS. I would be EXTREMELY LEERY about doing this and DO NOT recommend this WHATSOEVER. Engineers place limits on mechanical systems FOR A REASON. In this case, I suggest examining the “coupler” between the steering shaft and the wheel. The reason it is limited (by the white bushing) is to PREVENT failure of the coupler due to excessive “bearing angles”(imagine putting too much of an angle of a U-Joint on a drive shaft). WHEN this joint fails, the steering wheel will LOCK in whatever position it is and you’ll not have the strength to overcome the failure. BOTTOM LINE, WHEN (not if) it fails, you are now a passenger in a vehicle YOU CAN NOT STEER. PLEASE, PLEASE take this video down. I am an aerospace engineer with over 20 years working with mechanical systems of all types. If you don’t believe what I am saying, Google something like “severe u-joint angle, excessive CV joint angle etc. You are putting yourself AND YOUR VIEWERS AT POTENTIAL RISK. I really enjoy your content and Do Not want to see Anything occur that could Negatively impact you or your viewers.
I absolutely love that steering wheel bro 👍🏾🙏🏾💪🏾 glad all worked out for you
Always a good day when there's a fresh T4RC video
Thank you for the video that's definitely going to happen on my truck very soon

What kinda steering wheel is that and what size I like that
I’ve done this but there’s a way To make it sit even lower I’m trying to figure that out
Excellent
What adapter did use ? I have a similar wheel trying put on my pete
What kind of seats are you running?

Awwwwwwww sheeeeiittt cue the peterbilt reps 😅😮

Buddy you can cut the spring out and it’ll tilt further and still function just fine. It worked on my truck. I can Dm you pics.
Send some to me on ig lowe_kameran
I would also love to see this result. I’m trying to get more tilt out of mine.
So taken out the spring will make it tilt more?
Can you tell me what all you had to do?
Free fixes are the best !!!
Nice Black Effect hat
So it’s been around a year since you did this, have there been any side effects up to this point? Any binding or premature wear showing up? Does the wheel still lock in place solidly? How is the driveability ? Has it been affected in anyway?
No problems still like stock
I burnt mine but still not enuff need it more down
I like 👍

Nope and all these other guys keep telling me mine isn’t even low enough 😳

@@TheRoadhammer379 he must be driving one with a digital dash panel 😂🤷🏻♂️
👍👍🙏🏾🙏🏾👍👍
What size is that steering wheel ?
14” she’s small lol
Why didn’t you just take the pins out at the Top ??? And just pull the spring back ???
I think it’s pressed in.. I remember looking for an easier way. I was unsure.

How do you see where you’re going?
Trust me, you can actually see in front of the hood
How short is too short to drive this model?
I wish there was a easier way...
👋👋👋👍👍👍👋👋👋
I remember seeing eiver2 doing this on his peterbilt too
Yup but in Spanish
@@trucking4racecars do you follow eiver as well.. I wish he would speak english
Is this safe?
100%
so u did exactly what u said u werent going to do lol
Well some people are leery about going to the next level
Lmao right

Now,You Look Like One Of The Homey’s Trying To See Over The Dash Board ????👨🏿🌾 All you need now is a blun 🚬
PLEASE, DO NOT DO THIS.
