Custom Exhaust Stack Build - Back to Stock

Here we had to cut off the rotten elbow and weld on all new steel for this exhaust stack. I re-situated the upper portion back on top so everything fits just as it did stock. A couple tweeks to the bent heat shield and it's all good as new. Another happy customer at Elite Truck Repairs! Elitetruckrepairs.com #bethesolution

Welding a Leaking Tank
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.3 года назад
This repair was done for a snow plow and salt truck. Needless to say everything on this truck is prematurely rusted to a considerable degree. We could have spent a few more hours and made a new tank fit, but my customer already had a big bill with the rest of the repairs on this truck to pass vehicle inspection, so we did the minimum possible to get him safely through until the next inspection....

    If you have a tank that has some small cracks and holes in it you don't think that you can just patch the hole with some Weld.? I have a little crack in a tank and the tank is not really rusty I'm hoping I can just Weld the little crack in the little hole not just put a hole piece of steel over it. What do you think?

    • @EliteTruckRepairs
      @EliteTruckRepairs 8 месяцев назад

      It depends on if the crack is result of corrosion or stress. If it's rotted around the crack you may be able to fill it with weld, but it won't last very long because it will just continue to rust around the weld and leak again, which is why a patch across the entire corroded area and best for longevity. If it is a stress crack, then a weld may shore up the leak, but you will want to address the reason for the stress as well, which may or may not be part of the repair itself.

  • @Unduplicatable
    @Unduplicatable 9 месяцев назад

    Seriously nice job. Wouldn't it still be cheaper to just cut the gate or whatever is on the back, cut the frame, and give it new welds? I mean, your welds are gorgeous, so I'm sure whatever you're avoiding to weld again could use for your fresh welds. Plus, cutting the back gives the opportunity to clean up the frame and further rust-proof it.

  • @Unduplicatable
    @Unduplicatable 9 месяцев назад

    I don't understand why you would shorten a frame unless it's because it's extremely rusted and needs to be redone at the same time as you are hiring a sub40 hour driver.

    Paccar body builder book shows using straight cut with torch and minimum of 24 inches of double frame inside of frame on either side of cut/weld. So 4 foot piece of double frame and redrill any holes it covers up. No holes within 2 inches of other holes or top or bottom flange. So this guy is pretty spot on using the slanted cut with a little more weld I think.

    • @jamesford7182
      @jamesford7182 Год назад

      Actually, most manufacturers publish their recommendations for frame alterations in the body builder guides. These guides are used by professionals to make alterations that they can back up in the courts in the sad event of a catastrophic failure that results in death or major injury. In such an event, the manufacturer can be your ally in court or they can provide expert testimony against you. If you have chosen not to follow their recommendations there tons of retired automotive engineers who make a good living as expert witnesses.

    • @EliteTruckRepairs
      @EliteTruckRepairs Год назад

      Yeah, the real guidelines are: Don't weld to the webbing and don't drill within 3/4 of an inch from the corners. Any body installer should know that. The way I have sectioned this frame is not only safe but legally the only way that is accepted in BC Canada. As a licensed government safety inspector for commercial trucks I can be held liable for doing anything on this truck, not just a frame job. That's fine because my work does not fail. @@jamesford7182

    • @jamesford7182
      @jamesford7182 Год назад

      Those are just a few of the general "rule of thumb" guidelines. Had you ever read the frame alteration section of a body builders guide you would know they contain a lot more when they are multiple pages with a lot of figures and drawings. You may be licensed to inspect trucks but you are in no way considered a truck frame expert. As background, I have worked for three different custom truck chassis builders and have been around a few truck frames and engineers. Any company of respectable size can expect to be in the middle of more that one lawsuit at a time and truck chassis are no different. The more you pump out the more exposed you become. Fortunately, truck builders have learned how to protect themselves by publishing these standards and will generally win in court because people like you never bother with the details because you just "know it will work." "Legally acceptable in BC Canada" Call your lawyer and ask what kind of liability you face for repairing something when you didn't follow the manufacturers published procedures. If he says none, then he is as bad a lawyer are you are at being a mechanical engineer.
