Scott, Great job helping these people out. If the motor home people find out about you, you will be flooded with work. I agree with several other commenters the the owners of these large motor homes should go thru some sort of training before hitting the road so they don’t smoke the brakes when going down mountains. Slowing down and using a lower gear to allow the engine help with braking is a concept many folks don’t understand. I love your content and the honest way you conduct your business.
I always recommend a "float test" if you're unsure whether a brake component is good or not. A "float test" involves tossing the component into the nearest body of water. If it floats, it's a good part. If it doesn't...
You say this but when have you ever seen a rotor that visually looks this way come apart or cause an accident. I’ve only seen the rotor face separate from the hat which that could definitely cause an accident. Those rotors were damaged because one or more drivers where abusing the brakes or just don’t know how to handle a rig that size. I’m gonna say that mountain probably taught the owner a valuable lesson. So the driver was a accident waiting to happen not the rotors.
I’ve actually almost been in an accident driving a roll back with 2 cars on it and brake rotor broke off the hub part was coming off the expressway to a red light thankfully not going to fast😢
@@joec9680 The rig is going back to the same driver, after all, one more trip down a mountain like he did it before and this thing would have let go completely, surely. It’s a chicken-egg thing, y’know 😂
They got super crazy lucky one of those rotors didn't come apart with those huge cracks. As for older rigs...parts sourcing can be a royal pain regardless of what you are working on. But it's a super feeling when you get the rig back together and the test drive goes without a hitch. Great job as always Scott and Co. 🙂
Spartan may have had an issue but remember they are altogether the Cadillac of chassis manufacturers in the industry outclassing Freightliner because they listen to the customers and you do well to remember this particular unit is of the 90 vintage so that is over 20 years old!
Those 16” wheels look scary small on an RV that size, I think I’d be going to 19.5” Alcoas as soon as possible….the money you’d save in tire life would pay for it in 100k miles
Nice work Scott! I wish you could send some rain up to northern Illinois! We have been in drought condition now almost two months! Grass is dying and the farmers crops are not doing well. Take care!
The ones on the fire chassis are (rightfully) formidable, but add to that the exhaust braking on there is fairly effective. Still have to mind your speed, but the exhaust brake really holds you back at a good bit over reasonable speeds. Also mind you that RV’s are fairly light given their size. As well, the tiny wheels and tiny tires don’t really allow rotors of any considerable size. Seems the body manufacturer (Winnebago was it?) is kinda liable for requiring undersized wheels, ergo brakes.
@@jaysmith1408 Winnebago is really bad for that, or was back in this era. Was a guy in my auto class back in high school who's family was apparently lucky if they only had one blowout a trip because of the undersized wheels and tires on theirs. He was the second youngest so around the time he went to college they just sold the damn thing. And yeah, that's blowouts, plural in the radial era.
@@Cemi_Mhikku there was a period where a lot of motorhomes were being sold with Goodyear tires that were designs for intercity truck use. On the highway they would overheat and blow. So it may not have been undersized it could have been the tire being used.
They sure do look small. I was thinking that either the rear brakes are not adjusted correctly and didn't help with stopping. They had to much weight. Like towing a car or adding items to the interior.
@@Cemi_Mhikku Winnebago did all there brake requirement calculations for flat level ground as well as spec’ing part by cost and not by need. Lastly Winniebago designed all their vehicles to be able to be driven with a passenger car drivers license so sepc’ing parts to meet à specific GVW was a high build priority
I had my fun with vintage cars and gave it up a few years ago. I always preferred the non-collector cars as they actually stood out! My last vintage car was a '78 Buick Electra 225. That was a great car and wonderful to drive. But, getting parts was very difficult. I needed a radiator and NAPA had only ONE in its entire inventory! Body parts and interior stuff is just about impossible to get. The Buick 350 has its own parts supply problems as well. One of the lifters was collapsed and it also needed a new camshaft. After discovering that aftermarket camshafts actually degraded the performance, getting a real OEM camshaft took a month and a local vintage car mechanic helped me find the only ONE in existence. Oddly enough, the smog camshaft for those engines was far superior to the performance grinds I thought would be better. Some of those cars came with an Olds 403 and that engine is still easy to get parts for.
@@eaglewi The Buick 350 doesn't have the variety of stuff that most other engines have. I did have a semi-performance grind put on that engine when the original cam and lifters were being replaced. It was made by a shop that sells Buick specific performance parts and that cam was a DOG in my engine. Even with an adjustable cam sprocket that let the mechanic fine tune it. The OEM **smog** cam generated very high vacuum and that late 70's Malaise engine perked right up with it. Go figure! BTW, I flat-out gave the performance cam to the mechanic and told him to give it to a friend of his who has Buick muscle cars and see if he can do something with it. I was just glad to get the Malaise engine running strong again.
Wow. Maybe the rotor crack acts like a heat channel or slot. You know,...like the ones on racing disks, lol. More likely,...someone has an angel working overtime. Whew. You'd probably be in big trouble out west on some of the big mountain passes. Time for a brake job alright.
An actual manual transmission, not an "automated manual" or automatic, is getting more and more rare in the US even in the tractor trailers. Lots of owner-operators still want manual transmissions, but we have gotten killed between low freight rates and high fuel prices over the last year. The huge companies are all buying automatics and hiring drivers who are restricted to automatic only. In terms of passenger vehicles, unless you are buying an expensive sportscar you can't buy a new manual transmission vehicle.
For the future if you get a rollerskate like this, insist that they have the vgt engine brake turned on in the ECU. i get memories of Miami Dade and their Blue Birds. Half way through the intersection before they'd finally come to a stop.
Pads were replaced with what , did u have a choice of compounds ?? Were the calipers at least stripped down and inspected for any seizure /excessive drag ??
Scott, what is your assessment of the cause for what happened? Were the fronts doing all the work because the rears weren’t contributing? Was the driver not using engine braking? Or just driving too fast for the conditions? Do you foresee this recurring in the future?
5:52 Those LED headlights (floodlights) are the worst. They say "DOT" on them but I'm pretty sure you can put "DOT" on anything you want in a Chinese factory. They have two brightnesses but absolutely no cut-off for an asymmetric "low-beam"; they are just a flood light and can't possibly be legal. You can get glass housings that take H4 bulbs (either led or halogen), look original, and will actually give you a legal low-beam. They aren't quiet as cheap ($22-$27 plus bulbs) as these stupid things but at least you won't be blinding everyone else on the road.
Rotors look way too small for that rig. Used to drive a big class C motor home for a company that was built with Olds Toronodo power. I assume the rotors were same as the car. Brakes were so inadequate I could come up to a stop and mash the pedal and get only a normal stop. Always worried what would happen if something stopped in front of me. Driving in the mountains, no way with that thing.
Unfortunately the cracks in brake discs/rotors is a fairly common problem. They are most often a result of either driver error resulting in the brakes to overheating. A vehicle that is overweight for its brakes, this can be due to poor design by the manufacturer or the operator of the vehicle stuffing 10 pounds in a 5 pound sack. Sadly the manufacturer is often to blame because they either underestimated a realistic load for a vehicle such as this or they chose the parts not based on the realistic need of the vehicle but rather on the cost the parts or weight of the parts so that they can make a certain GVW for the vehicle. Additionally the manufacturers of most vehicles also fail to include properly designed cooling ducts for disc brakes. Lastly the aftermarket accessories market can also be to blame by making simulators with vent holes that smaller than the oem steel wheels as well as improperly designed disc brakes dust shields (personally I think all disc brake shield are poorly designed.
The capacity of the braking system is one of the KEY determinations for the GVW (and whether or not U-Haul will rent you a car dolly). The problem isn't the braking system. Most people have NO idea how to drive. Be it a car, or a motorhome, or a semi... just laying your foot on the brake pedal and riding it all the way down a hill will overheat the brakes REGARDLESS of how "good" or "big" or "well designed" they are. I was taught "stab" braking, when I first learned how to drive semis (sadly, most don't teach it anymore, which is why overheated brakes is an issue now). You downshift (most cars and motorhomes freewheel in overdrive), and decide on a speed. When it gets 5 MPH over the desired speed, stab the brake pedal HARD. I mean both feet on the pedal HARD. Then, get OFF the brakes, and let them open up so they can cool. I have NEVER overheated the brakes on anything EVER. It's just common sense... which is no longer common.
The guy that killed all those people in Colorado with his run away semi.... He was convicted and received a healthy sentence. That is supposed to be the warning to other operators if you don't know your equipment and its limits then please do not operate it. Glowing rotors... that's 1300f territory.
Very lucky the rotors never shattered just going on looks alone bro, can these auto trans motor homes use a lower gear when descending hills or is there engine retarders for that purpose. Safe travels.
They sure can. Problem is, most people don't know to do it. The overdrive on most of them FREEWHEEL. They need to put it in 3rd, or even 2nd. Then use stab braking. Downshift and decide a speed. When it gets 5 MPH over that speed, stab the brake pedal HARD. I mean two feet on the pedal HARD. Then... get OFF the brakes and let them cool. I drove semis and motorhomes down some pretty hairy hills. I NEVER overheated the brakes EVER. This guy just got his foot on the brake pedal at the top of the hill, and was on the brakes the whole way down. "I'm retired now, so I'm gonna buy a big motorhome and see the country". No idea HOW to drive it.
Takes about 300 miles to wear in new pads and rotors to achieve proper braking. Hopefully He babies them for the first 300 miles or so or he’ll be back claiming warranty for warped rotors or squealing pads.
@@BusGreaseMonkey I normally drive a gasoline engine camper, and when I went on vacation I rented one that happened to have a diesel. I was shocked by how little engine braking the diesel provided. The lack of a throttle plate makes for a lot less resistance.
I hate to be harsh, but having grown up driving heavy stuff with minimal brakes, I quickly learned that those who smoke brakes are driving way over their heads.
The story really reinforces to me that people driving these large vehicles need to be trained and require licences to drive them. No way should the brakes be overheating, even down a mountain. Probably was dragging them the whole way.
Ansolutely true! You need engine braking for steep descents so if it is an autobox with no engine braking you need a massively uprated braking system! Once had trouble going over the Swiss alps in a bus! Scary stuff on elevated hairpins! Those brakes were an accident waiting to happen! Phil
@@lrdisco2005 People die every day in accidents that don’t involve buses. It doesn’t take a bus to kill everyone in a car. A scooter once caused a 19 car pileup with 23 fatalities. If you really think that only big vehicles are dangerous, then your parents must be brother and sister. You really are just showing how stupid you are.
If you "ride" disc brake rotors down hills.......they will overheat and warp and then eventually crack. Might be time to fit an exhaust or engine brake. Heavy vehicles are not cars........they cant be thrown off hills without problems.
