As a diesel mechanic of 13 years i can definitely say its impossible to fix a semi without classic rock playing in the shop. Love your content brother keep it up!
Hey man, do you know where this guy is located in Houston? I can’t seem to find any contact information for the shop? I want this guy to work on my truck. he has been around and he knows what he’s doing
My grandfather ran a frame machine back in the 60s, it was apparently an old model that no one could figure out after he retired. I bet Devin would figure it out. Love these long videos and seeing these trucks put back straight.
Dude, I know nothing about what you do, but I love watching your videos, love your humour and presentation. Thanks for the great content! All the best for 2024, from the UK
You are brillant, funny and hard woking... you really know your craft. My take from being an old school owner operator from the early 80's, back when trucking was real.
Loving these longer videos. Really helps in understanding how your hooking up those chains and why your pulling them like you do. Keep up the great work.
Don't change a thing Brother. As a past automotive business owner. I would support you 💯. You're great at your job and you can tell you make the best of it. Keep the content coming.
Always good to see Bob the master frame tech with his assistant ...... 😉😉😉😉😁😁😁 You still can slide yourself on the ramp where I will only wedge myself 🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Thank you to continue to show your very valuable knowledge 👌👌👌👌👌
Trying to switch careers... Sick of dealing with homeowners and contrators who pay min wage cause i need to fix license. went to a trade school to learn tractor trailer preventative maintenance. Hard to get any work without license still for a tech. Anyway watch you to learn more so the more you show me the better. PLEASE ACCEPT ME AS YOUR STUDENT, MASTER.
I been around trucking my whole life and didn’t even know any of this was possible. You have an incredible job man, god bless you guys keeping us on the road. I just hit a cow this morning, I’m hoping I didn’t damage the frame. Pretty damn solid hit. Just dropped it off at the shop, we’ll see what they say. Front end is fuuuuuuucked.
I’m no mechanic or truck guy, in fact I don’t know much more than the basic oil change and tune up, but I really enjoy your content! Also great video editing!
Good music, KLOL gone not forgotten. U are a hoot to watch, u handle frustration well, I wore my body out/retired. Party on Bendon!! Gonna buy merch soon.
Love it that was a good video that was a good little glimpse into your life it was fun I'd be willing to watch more of that even if others and you would think that it's boring it's a fun watch
Dude super entertaining, very interesting job straitening frames never mind heavy duty frames. A lot of experience and entertaining to watch. Keep it up, love the videos!
Love watching your content, being a retired automotive frame/ combination technician. Squeezing between the machine and the vehicle was always a fun time. Keeps you fit. Take care of yourself. Don't beat yourself up. You'll regret it. I do.
Impressive as Hell, man. Enjoy watching the Dr. of Frameology. Thanks for sharin' goin' about your day. And milk or ice cream helps offset the hot stuff, funner to eat than Immodium. ☺
“Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes your the bug”. I just heard “The Bug” by Mary Chapin Carpenter on the radio today, it had been years. Cool coincidence! This video and that song are both bangers.
Love watching these. I’ve been a frame tech for a long time on everything under a 1 ton trucks. Working on the big stuff cool But I stick to smaller cars and trucks
When I was a young dumb teenger @ 14 I ran my car in a ditch, and it bent the frame. The hood wouldn't close, and my father took a chain hooked it to one side of the frame, and other end of the chain to a Ford 9N tractor. Then hooked a chain to the other frame side, and then around the base of a electric pole in the yard then took all the slack out of the chain, and once he did he then pulled hard on it several times, and straighten the frame that was in 1984 he died several years later he would have been a 107 years old today if alive he worked at Goodyear makin tires for 40 years damn he was so smart at doing anything he did lookin back.
As a person who is not a mechanic of any sort, I am fascinated by these videos. Also, it cracks me up that, as far as I can tell, the smallest chains that you use are as big as the biggest and pretty much only, chain that I use on the 10 acre property that I live on.
I enjoy your videos and will happily take the video length you can get done. I understand youtube is not your job, but you are very educational and funny. I spent a year working in a body shop 40 years ago and saw how it aged the men early so got out of it. Hope you and Bob stay safe and healthy. Eat some good ice cream after that spicy Mexican it will help to cool things off coming out. That is a nice looking Volvo.
I thought UA-cam didn’t like tubers to play music in their videos? I enjoy all your videos. In a perfect world they would all be about 15 minutes long. Love trucks and love anything mechanical.
Sudden loud snapping or cracking noise when working with tons of hydraulic pressure ruins my undies. Props to you for working everyday with that stuff.
Did you ever notice that the sooner after the accident you start straightening the easier it is to get straight? Most of my experience has been rolled over dump trucks and dump trailers and I always thought they were straightening easier because of my adreniline, But like 30 years ago an old timer told me it was because the internal stresses caused by the rollover hadn't relaxed yet. Basically the stresses in the steel were helping return it to it's original shape. Curious, do you ever recamber trailer beams with a rosebud to shrink the lower flange?
I grew up in a used car dealership and saw the body shop guys do just a little of this, on a smaller scale obviously. This is a F’ing art form, wow, good on ya!
You always get hater’s no matter what you do I love your content and your attitude it shows that you really love what you do! I would encourage everyone to make videos at work if they worked for me.
Darn son, you make this old man's back hurt even more than usual 😪 I enjoy the videos and your job/work, great job and piss on the haters!. Very interesting stuff for guys
As a driver and a shade tree mechanic i enjoy watching your work, funny too! Your a good man charlie brown😅 hey, i bought a hat! Waddya want from me!! Keep on bendin brother!
I'll watch whatever you record, it's all interesting and you are a natural behind the camera. Some folks on here got it and some don't, you do. If anyone ever needs a hover board/creeper thingy it would be you sir.
They broke the mold after they made this guy! He is the absolute best at what he does and is Hilarious! ( It’s ok to talk to yourself, you can talk to yourself and there’s nothing wrong with that. But if you say ‘Huh?’ Then you’re in BIG trouble!)
What a nice rack. The one we had had a short pit down the middle. Too short to stand and too shallow to creeper down. Your towers are fantastic. Ours had hydraulic cylinders that pulled. Everything used was heavy.
Been following your videos for a while you must work for a cool company. That’ll let you do the videos for UA-cam. That’s awesome. Have a blessed holidays.😊
This guy works for one of the most reputable frame shops in the country been around a long time I won't say who it is out of respect to dev but if you dig you can find it
REO Speedwagon seems like another workshop essential. They’re on too many of your videos in a statistically improbable manner to be random. Nice trucking reference. If that’s radio, then it’s an awesome station. Subscribed 👍🏻😁
I'm definitely not a mechanic, but I've been around heavy trucks and equipment most of my life and have a considerable respect for the men and women that keep them moving.
Love the videos my friend keep a good mix short and long. Definitely learned a few things from you. Out of curiosity what happens if you can't just get a frame to twist or pull the way you want so you just replace or change how you're doing it?
Who cares how he does it or films while working as long as it’s educational and the job gets done correctly as he is a master tech unlike most the clowns commenting! Keep doing you brotha and yes that truck is a whole lotta red 😂

Totally agree!
You're right. Gotta have good tunes to get the job done 👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯
Bro. I've done a lot of frame / body shop work. Dude, I thought I was the best, but I'm taking my hat off to you, SIR .👍👍👍👍👍💯💯😎
Well, at least you have Bob and the camera to talk to. I only have my tools and I usually just end up yelling at them so we're not really close.
😂
I know nothing about how this works, but you make entertaining as hell to watch. Thanks for all the good work keeping this Rigs Rolling.
My grandfather ran a frame machine back in the 60s, it was apparently an old model that no one could figure out after he retired. I bet Devin would figure it out.
Love these long videos and seeing these trucks put back straight.
Pawpaw drove trucks for 55 yrs. He had a favorite guy for his 5th wheel, one for his cummins, and one for his alignment.
Dude, you are hilarious. I never thought Frame straightening could be so interesting, but the way you talk about it, it makes it intriguing.
Dude, I know nothing about what you do, but I love watching your videos, love your humour and presentation. Thanks for the great content! All the best for 2024, from the UK
arm chair professionals are everywhere bud keep up the good work your funny as hell
You are brillant, funny and hard woking... you really know your craft. My take from being an old school owner operator from the early 80's, back when trucking was real.
Mahalo and Aloha from an old hack in Hawaii, we love your work!
Great video, keep them coming, please.
Loving these longer videos. Really helps in understanding how your hooking up those chains and why your pulling them like you do. Keep up the great work.
Love your longer videos!!!
If it's weird, It's the kind of weird we need more of. You and Bob are quite the team.
Love seeing how you get them back up and going. Bend it and send it !
Don't change a thing Brother. As a past automotive business owner. I would support you 💯. You're great at your job and you can tell you make the best of it.
Keep the content coming.
You’re a master at your business. Dig watching your videos.
I'm not going to lie....that funny little red hand is what made me stop on his short.....and now here I am
Always good to see Bob the master frame tech with his assistant ...... 😉😉😉😉😁😁😁 You still can slide yourself on the ramp where I will only wedge myself 🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Thank you to continue to show your very valuable knowledge 👌👌👌👌👌

Impressive as Hell, man. Enjoy watching the Dr. of Frameology. Thanks for sharin' goin' about your day. And milk or ice cream helps offset the hot stuff, funner to eat than Immodium. ☺
I have never seen this done before. Learned something new already. Hooking by a cross member so as not to roll the frame. Very good tip.
“Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes your the bug”. I just heard “The Bug” by Mary Chapin Carpenter on the radio today, it had been years. Cool coincidence! This video and that song are both bangers.
Great video don't get to see too many people that can do what you do. Keep up the great work.
I’m enjoying learning how trucks are repaired. Thanks for being entertaining and informative.
Awesome video keep them up. You are a good frame man. We don’t have them like you. Frame rails get replaced
Thanks for your time. I enjoyed watching as always.
This was a good one, like this format, you are doing impressive work with efficiency!
Love watching these. I’ve been a frame tech for a long time on everything under a 1 ton trucks. Working on the big stuff cool

Very impressive. I am thinking you have excellent knowledge of good old physics. Great job.

Loved the video and the music was great to. it makes me laugh to when you tell people off a lot of people need to hear it. stay safe man god bless
Like the shorts, but really enjoy the longer videos with more detail.
I thought UA-cam didn’t like tubers to play music in their videos?
I enjoy all your videos. In a perfect world they would all be about 15 minutes long. Love trucks and love anything mechanical.
The hey don’t but it’s in the background and the music is broke up so it’s not continuous music. And it’s kind of distorted most of the time.
i like the long form content , your very entertaining, thank you
I don't think I will ever have to do this but if I do I can say that I've been trained a great teacher
Dude just found your channel, as a mechanic, I think It’d probably be a riot working with you.
Fantastic work man, and I don't just mean the straightening and aligning. Love the long format too
Sorry much easier set up than the old school bee line frame machine. Did you have to loosen the motor/trans mounts?
You should have your own shop. I would totally work with you.. Lots of fun, doing what you are good at. 👍
Like the longer video! Perfect display of you skills. Not sure why but love seeing them trucks tweaked back straight 😮....
I like the videos in the 8-12 minute range - I didn't realize this one's almost 13, it still def worked
New sub here. Long time truck driver. You're a hard workin dude right here!! Love the videos.
Very educational and informative
Has there ever been a time it's been so bad.. that u replaced frame rails.. keep up the awesome videos and work..👍👍💯
In a truck fleet shop of 85 mechanics it is easy to pickup and learn from other mechanics , sometimes good repair procedures some not so good !
Always informative and I get a laugh! Thanks!
Love these videos when you explain as you go. Thank you.
That's amazing. Thanks for sharing, never really thought about this kind of repair being possible. It's fun to see.
Dude you're killing me!! Hilarious...you have really got a knack for recording your videos!! May be your 2nd calling!! Thanks!!!
Your always goin to get BS off these clowns out here you keep up the good work I’ve been watch u for min u know what’s up I did it for 45 year
I like the long form because I’m truly trying to learn something from these videos
Sudden loud snapping or cracking noise when working with tons of hydraulic pressure ruins my undies.
Props to you for working everyday with that stuff.
Very interesting!!! And entertaining!!! There cannot be very many people that can do what you do. Amazing.
Did you ever notice that the sooner after the accident you start straightening the easier it is to get straight? Most of my experience has been rolled over dump trucks and dump trailers and I always thought they were straightening easier because of my adreniline, But like 30 years ago an old timer told me it was because the internal stresses caused by the rollover hadn't relaxed yet. Basically the stresses in the steel were helping return it to it's original shape.
Curious, do you ever recamber trailer beams with a rosebud to shrink the lower flange?
I grew up in a used car dealership and saw the body shop guys do just a little of this, on a smaller scale obviously. This is a F’ing art form, wow, good on ya!
Love the longggg format
You always get hater’s no matter what you do I love your content and your attitude it shows that you really love what you do! I would encourage everyone to make videos at work if they worked for me.
Love the long stuff. Thank you
Dude I found u on TikTok a yr ago. I dig the longer form.
Darn son, you make this old man's back hurt even more than usual 😪 I enjoy the videos and your job/work, great job and piss on the haters!. Very interesting stuff for guys
Always listening to the good music in that shop
The video I didn't know I needed. Pure entertainment. Must have more!
As a driver and a shade tree mechanic i enjoy watching your work, funny too! Your a good man charlie brown😅 hey, i bought a hat! Waddya want from me!! Keep on bendin brother!
I'll watch whatever you record, it's all interesting and you are a natural behind the camera. Some folks on here got it and some don't, you do. If anyone ever needs a hover board/creeper thingy it would be you sir.
Clarification of chain break and what happens would have been one of my questions, and athe answer is what I expected
They broke the mold after they made this guy!
He is the absolute best at what he does and is Hilarious!
( It’s ok to talk to yourself, you can talk to yourself and there’s nothing wrong with that.
But if you say ‘Huh?’ Then you’re in BIG trouble!)

Honestly I couldnt look away from the video it was too perfect
Loved it
You’re a legend and fantastic background music, keep it going old son. From Australia
It is amazing to watch those trucks get straight after a little persuasion from you.
Amazing job. Not really sure why I find frame straightening so interesting, I think the presenter might have something to do with it.
REO Speedwagon seems like another workshop essential. They’re on too many of your videos in a statistically improbable manner to be random. Nice trucking reference. If that’s radio, then it’s an awesome station. Subscribed 👍🏻😁
I'm definitely not a mechanic, but I've been around heavy trucks and equipment most of my life and have a considerable respect for the men and women that keep them moving.
Enjoy watching you straight a chassis
Keep up the good work
Next time I need an alignment, I’m going to take a load to Texas to see you and get it done right. Thanks for sharing!
I love these longer videos but i would love to see some 20+ minute videos the information is invaluable
Thanks for the show Devin 🍻 🇦🇺
Does the manufacturer place recommend alignment points on their frames to make the pull more accurate
I watch you all the time just wondering if that is your shop sweet setup
Stay the way you are. No matter what. You are just lovable and awesome. Greetings from Germany.
You’re awesome and do some incredible work,but let’s face it… I’m here for Bob lol 😂 😂😂
Love the videos my friend keep a good mix short and long. Definitely learned a few things from you. Out of curiosity what happens if you can't just get a frame to twist or pull the way you want so you just replace or change how you're doing it?
I watch you on tic tock you tube longer videos great for you and Bob
Who cares how he does it or films while working as long as it’s educational and the job gets done correctly as he is a master tech unlike most the clowns commenting! Keep doing you brotha and yes that truck is a whole lotta red 😂
Very interesting of what goes into this job of fixing trucks
Being very time short I’m not into long videos, this length is great
Get to the point fix it all good cheers Brendon 👍👍🇦🇺
