Tank you for the video.
Very well explained and quick easy. God bless you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the video. Very well explained and quick and easy. I'm just starting driving and your video helped out alot. Thank very much
I hope you like it.
I was just stuck on the side of the road cause my brand new trailer the brakes somehow got out of adjustment and smoked up pretty back but the first part of this video helped me out so thank you🙏🏼💯
You have to check if they even grease the sluck adjusters? Maybe forgot and S-cam got stuck!!! It happen to me on a bobtail after new brakes was installed with new Spider, S-cam and etc. But I’m happy that this video helps to so many people.
I have always back them off half turn,,,,quarter turn can,,,sometimes ,,,not always cause brakes to drag to much and get hot,,,I stick with half turn off of bottom
It works too… need at list a 1/4turn.
It is important to release the brakes before adjusting and you showed just that. This means the air must be at full pressure and the parking brake in the cab released. Now brakes can be adjusted.
If you do not release the brakes with the air system, the parking brakes will be under spring tension and there is now way to accurately adjust them.
GOOD JOB!
Thx. Trying to help every one, rather then spend long waiting time and thousands at the TA/Petro or a similar places.
Tractor brake must be set. And trailer brake released
Thanks ! I really appreciate your video.. I had no clue on how to do this .. ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Perfect camera position and good explanation love it Good job 👍
Awesome video fellow trucker, thank you!! 👍
Thanks 👍
thank you very much for sharing I really need it to know how to do this. God bless you
Glad it was helpful!
It's just a 1/2 a turn back off when adjusting brakes
Every one have their opinion. If works for you, good.
Thank you for taking the time to do this, and videotaping it.
Any time!
11;45 this keeps your front brake applying after the rear brake apply that is correct good job
Thx
Bloody awesome mate, looked at the trailer today and had zero idea so searched utube and your vid is first up, cheers :)
I’m so happy that my video first. I hope it help you with brakes.
Love to see your video
Explained in a very easy way
Thank you
Hey buddy,,thanks a lot , very helpful for me too , god bless you
Thanks for sharing this, sir!
My pleasure!
Thanks bro you’r video helped me a lot 💪💪
Nice video,easy to learn.
Glad you think so!
Nice shit man ,, you explain everything very well and you have a nice setup 👊🏻👊🏻
Thx
Thanks for this video
Brother, thank you very much.
Discussion: While I understand that certain circumstances call for an additional quarter turn because of brake drag, my general rule for adjustments is, starting at the rear axle on the trailer: quarter turn on trailer, quarter turn on drives, and half turn on steers. The argument being that in an emergency stop, you want to guarantee that your trailer brakes are applying before your steers to avoid fishtailing. Is this an outdated idea?
I would do trailer 1/2, drives 1/2 if your truck but not your trailer lol other wise 1/4 and steer 1/2. Trailer always brakes first by half a second and then truck. It made like that.
Thank you my friend
Thank you.
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you
The Steering box have a leak brother, just for that the DOT can put you out off service
It’s not that bad to put out of service.
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE any leak is out of service.
Only if drips on the ground
7 drips per min put you out of service
Thanks for the educational info
Thx
Commenting on the video for the algorithm
Thank you. I hope it helped you.
Thanks lots . It's really simple 👍🏼
For sure. Just don’t mess up , adjust the tires when they are not set!!! My brother in law just mess up and adjusted brakes when they was set. Lol
That's a good explanation. Thanks
Great video 👍
Thx
Good job bro
Thx
Helpful
Good job buddy respect ✊
Thank you so much buddy
You’re welcome.
Tnaks for the video...very heplful👍
Thx for a comment, I hope you find my video easy to use!! With every comment/like my videos going in the top search list ;) hx
Good video thank you
Thank you
on drive axels what do you mean by a quarter ? 15 min on 60 min clock ?
Exactly those measures that you use are not clear.
Quarter is 1/4 turn or 15min turn. 60min is 360’ turn
Love the information
Trying the best
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE .
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video!!!
I hate that style slack adjuster on that trailer , thx for the video 👍🅿️🆙💯
You don’t like self adjusting ones.
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE i know i don't. i can trust myself to adjust as i should, i can't trust them
For sure.
Appreciate the video. Thank you
Good job buddy thanks
I hope my video helped you!!!!
Good job!
Thx
I can't climb under the trailer like that, do I need to quit driving
Pay extra at Loves for brake adjust
Is this a good general adjustment for every truck? I got a 2011 Mack pinnacle cxu612 with double bottom dumps
Should be yes....
D- KUSTOMS GARAGE thank u
So what if you've adjusted them and then you set your trailer brakes and it still moves what's going onadjusted many breaks on mini trailers but I don't know what's wrong
All of your brakes does move or just one after adjusting?
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE all the tires are still rolling
Wow. This is not good. I think you doing something not right.... unless your brakes are cooked. That happens from overheating. Brakes are glazed and don’t work anymore for a stopping, they just sliding. Stop by local place who work with Semi Trucks. They can tell you for sure what’s going on.
thanks very helpful
👍
After seeing that kid get life I need to learn these
Cheaper to do your self.
Thank you. Needed this
What if they locked up mine just did that and smoking the drives
Same thing you used to tighten them back then off a little
Correct.
Untie it back
What is the std gap between the drum and the brake shoes?
I don’t measure that gap, never had issues.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT 30 MINS IDEA?
CAN YOU COME UP WITH BETTER MEASUREMENT NUMBERS?
Army… time clock or angles. Use 1hr idea or 360’
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE What I meant was is it how fmcsa or scale house @$$holes measure?
They measure how the rod on a brake chamber comes out(2”), gap between brake shoes and drums and if drum/brakes shoes have a right thickness or no cracks.
When brakes make contact with drum STOP,the slack adjuster is not to be tighten with all hell!!!
Should be with all hell and then relised to heavenly perfect specs ;)
those are autoslack adjusters should not need adjustments or there failing but do need serviced
Even tho they are self adjusting, I still want to make sure that they work properly.
Why the trailer is half turn and tractor only a quarter?
Trailer brakes a little faster then truck. So when you adjust like me, it will brake evenly.
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE That makes perfect sense, thanks a lot.
You’re welcome!!! Have a good one.
What do you mean by 30? I thought you meant degrees but then saw you turning them 90 degrees in each 15.
Trailer 60-90, drives 60-15 , steers 60-15
he means like if you imagine the wrench pattern is a clock, you would just turn the wrench "30 minutes" or half a turn i guess
You’re right.
He actually meant 180 degrees
Correct, 180’ is 30min, Or each 15min is 90’
Why release it back again after tightening it, sorry if it sounds stupidity ,new in trucking business ?
Because when you’re doing the adjustment your breaks are released so when you tighten them all the way down if you just left it you wouldn’t be able to move you back it off so you can drive then when you set your breaks after the adjustment they will properly set if that makes sense
@afruge4535 this is not true…
what do you mean by 30?
180’
👍👍👍👍
How to fix Trl break most time my break not released it’s 2019 TRL HOW TO GREES
Thanks brother
dude those brake shoes will get you ouf of service.
They are good.
I got lost at the part about adjusting for 30 minutes
30 min is 180’
That was only a 1/4 turn.
Air tanks must be full or empty before starting the process?
Should be full
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE agreed
14 mm socket
Yep yep
I pull the nipple out, but it still doesn’t let me turn it
Maybe slackadjuster is frozen
30 what? And how are you measuring 30?
30min mean 180’ clock wise 0-30min.
Ohh nice thnks man
I don't even know what's going on in the video tbh
Really, every one loved the video.
Real truckers don't wear flip flops. (Bonehead Truckers.)😁
I’m the new generation!!!! Lol
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE Do you drive for Swifty Swift? (Swing wide it's a frickin trailer.) ( Bone head truckers.)🤣
Давай уже по Русски а?!
V kakom meste nebilo ponyatno. ?
@@DKUSTOMSGARAGE Все понятно. Спасибо большое! Видно что Русский акцент. Просто шучу:)
Da, ya chot nehochu ot akcenta izbavlatsya daje. Pust znayut Russkih avto-gubiteley!!!!
