Yes, also glad you had the safety bar up on the dump box! All it takes is a hydraylic line to rupture.
We had a hydraulic line fail, box was in the air, blew during lunch break. The safety bar was crushed, no one was hurt, a definite wake up call for everyone!
It really helps out having your own mechanic and he's understanding
He’s great
Those are parker push lock fittings on the hoses for your dogs. Just cut the hose off the fitting, trim the bad spot off and push it back on the fitting
Her husband would know if there was enough length to get away with that. Also likely the hose is splitting due to age and will just split again very soon. Not worth the risk of being stopped at a light on a busy intersection and plugging an air leak with horns blaring and drivers cursing!
@@wssides what are you talking about traffic? It was the gate dog cylinder! You da man though!
@@smengine That is a part of a truck air system that I've never worked on or looked at. If it was the cylinder side, why did her husband empty the air tank? Plus she couldn't lower the box to clean out the corners. They thought it was the supply side and as he is a heavy duty mechanic I expect he knew what he was doing. He repaired it and scraped out the corners after his afternoon shift plus she said it was being changed so she wouldn't be stuck on the road during a job.
When i have to cable tie air lines I try use a old garden hose to protect them from cutting into the air line
We do the same on the little truck I drive. Extra security for sure.
My dump truck sucks even worse every time I see your videos
Haha but yours came with a bonus Tacoma….mine didn’t. I’m jealous of that!
I never realized how involved owning a truck can be. You two are great together.
👍 Your a great example for young women that you can do what want to do to make a living. My daughter has had strong women in her life and it rocks. She is in Med school right now. When she went to GS camp when she was young they gave the award for Always letting her opinion be known.
I'm glad 2 C U had the safety bar up when U R tinkering under the box. Years ago I remember a local "Dump Trucker" was killed when his box suddenly lowered.
Yeah it seems dumb not to have it up
Your husband is one lucky guy to have a pretty, hard working woman like you keep up the good content 👌
Make a cloth type of sack that will fit over your headrest so it won't sqeak. Then you can remove it to wash. I had one for my Peterbilt.
Hi, this is Bill from Pulltarps. I've talked with our customer service manager about your tarp getting stuck on the corner of the housing, he let me know that the reason you're having trouble is that the tarp should roll out from the bottom of the roller tube and not the top. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I like that, "A tricky 40 degrees". A great NW thing...
For sure!
Good to hear from you!
I would weld two aluminum covers in those corners and your issues there will be solved and won't interfere with weight or yardage. Weld just below first front box support . Material likes to collect in those corners this will stop it . 22 1/2 or 45 angle
Thanks for the update and stay safe out there keep the wheels turning
Thanks!
Put a silk pillow case over the seat or a pice or sheep skin from hobby lobby they work grate
Great video Dauminique
Can you try dry lube like Teflon or silicon spray for now for your seat! Keep on trucking!
4:51 So move the seat forward one notch away from the wall.
Mink oil, leather conditioner, talcum powder or baby powder should quite down the squeaking. I just don't know how long either will last before it comes back.
When the seat is squeeking mamas freaking lol
Put an old sweat shirt over the seat back, pin bottom sides of shirt to make it tight.
Love the Cleetus Shirt. Looks good on ya.
Hell yeah Brother!
Hello Daum, oh yes the joys Sunday dump trk maintenance. U R a very busy Lady to balance all the things. It will get better when the bugs R worked out. We R all pulling 4 Ur success & hope U have a good week!
Well at least you had some nice weather to work on your nice looking truck. Good grief the fuel prices are nuts. Keep your chin up and soldier on. Thanks for another great video !!!
I operated heavy equipment for about 40 years. I never like dump trucks or any trucks require a lot of attention. I admire you for your work ethic you probably take care of the home and you are out trucking in the day.
"Assume he was asleep" !
Try Armorall or spay silicone on the vinyl behind your drivers seat. Should stop your seat noise. Or at least lessen it.
My son's crib was on wheels, and when he woke in the a.m., he would hold on the top rail an start jumping to wake us up. Crib would move over slab floor 4 or 5 ft. EVERY MORNING!!
Haha that’s hilarious
Hello Dauminique, I just do this to keep my seats clean but this might help you with your noisey seat problem, I just buy pillow cases and pull down over the top of the seat back and they can be cut up the sides and altered and sewed on each side of the split for your arm rests . And they come in all different colors so, you can find you a color that matches with your interior color . And yes it is a lot different when you own your truck now, instead of driving a truck for a company or for just an individual person . When you are a truck owner is sort of like me myself living here on the farm, there is always some kind of maintenance work to do, even if it's just little things . But that is just part of everyday life, with lots of things . I will see you later so be careful and stay safe out there on the road and keep on trucking.
As always, Jeffrey !!!
What an amazing team you an your husband are, May the lord continue to bless you all in all aspects of your life, an thank you for sharing your videos with us
🙏👍👌😀 💙💚💙.
Ad Revenue for you and your Family. Thank You 🇺🇸
Here's an *ATTA GIRL* for you! 😁
Keep on keeping on!
Feel free to use it when you need it the most!
I remember my brother was owner/operator of semi tractor and flatbed trailer, when he wasn't driving he was doing maintenance or sleeping. He drove long haul, him and his wife pretty much had separate lives. He did this for years until it got to expensive to be a owner/ operator, couldn't compete with the big companies. He loved every minute of being a trucker and still misses it, told me once that it became addicting to him.
👍 FROM CADILLAC MICHIGAN
Pliiow case! all cotton.
Love watching yall work together, keep the hummer down,👍
You're awesome Dauminque keep it up
Thanks Randy!
Been waiting for the new video! Be safe…
Sprinkle some baby powder on the back of your seat and cab that is what cowboy do to a new saddle when riding a new saddle and they do Squeak like that
Much love from central Massachusetts!! Yessss!, she’s a Red Sox fan too?!? Coolest RUclipsr ever right here lady’s and gents!!!
I noticed your truck has the same suspension as mine. Didn't know if you knew but if you keep an eye on your lower torque rod bushings and change them when they start getting play with the 2 piece neoprene you'll never have to change uppers. BTW the uppers really suck to change.
OH! I'll be yer Huckleberry.
A freind of mine who hauls gravel and sand in AB sprays the corner of his box with diesel to eliminate product sticking.
“Friend”
Stop telling people we do that, even though we all do that........
Have a safe week Ahead
The air line is a Push Lock style , cut bad section off and push line back on .
A tshirt or pillow case will work as well
Like the shirt
I do not know about you guys but I am having a hell of a time finding OEM parts for my older Truck. There always back ordered I never seen such dysfunction in our supply chain
it is the back of the arm rest rubbing
Thanks!!!! for the video I have said it before and I will say it again very nice truck you have ans and you seem super cool 😎
MY FAVORITE SAYING IS ;;;; (CHIC'S RULE) BUT SEAM'S YOU HAVE A RARE HUSBAND (NICE).
Fantastic work on Maintenance and repair your truck dauminique
hey, truck lookin' good lady! that's one thing I don't miss is "maintrnance Sudays" lol
does the meetings they're having out there have any effect on you as an owner/op?
Apply leather seat conditioner to the headliner to stop the friction between back of seat and pleated liner to stop squeak
nice to see u representing the new england states with ur red sox shirt
Lol I’m not trying to
For the seat rubbing, you could just remove the padding from behind it.
Try a sheep cover for your seat
That would get super gross from all the dust
I walked into the boys' room yesterday to find Mr Almost 2, who was supposed to be having a sleep, happily sitting on his 11 yr old brother's top bunk! The bar on the cot was still up!
Boys will be boys!
Haha yes! 4 kids and this is the first one we've had who's a climber!
No days off for you! If you wanna be an owner, you gotta be an operator...Love the content, good luck with fuel prices...
O/o life no days off
Maybe dry silicon spray for your seat noise ?
Great video as always. Diesel over here (UK) now averaging about £1-50 a litre. At todays exchange rate that works out at $ 8-99 a gallon !!!!! Worlds gone crazy.
loving the cleetus shirt!
Pete makes a white Teflon plate that screws into wall that stops that
Love the cleeter shirt.
Kent Industries has a product you can spray on interior plastic parts..
I used it years ago on the sidedoor interior trim touching the trim @ the headliner, it works great..
So spray it on the seatback and cab.
Once again another great video. I love your work ethics. Would a high pressure water hose help you keep the bed of your truck and trailer clean ? Be safe and stay healthy out there. 🙏👍🏻💕🇱🇷
Seat squeak. Silicone spray lube. Apply it to the cab and the seat. While it may not be a long term solution I bet it lasts longer than you expect. Keep the can in the truck with a micro fiber towel and re-apply while you are getting loaded or waiting on scales etc. Felt probably has to come off.
I love to shovel out sand and old debree from the back of my dad's truck
Find an old soft blanket an tie to the back of seat.
It’s a lot of work owning your own truck, hope it goes well for you.
Hehh a 255 retread blowout, i had to deal with that one, and i said as i was passing by him the first time i dealt with that. I said you dont see converse hightops doing that shit!!!!....
I always kept an extra glad hand,nipple and easy out,incase one gets sheared off when dumping or paving.
Maybe you could think about installing some ball valves in the lines that operate the dogs. A ruptured hose would be a bad situation to leave you on the side of the road. If one did rupture, just close a couple of valves. They could be installed more forward toward the cab or even in the cab, check, they may already be up there.
Try putting a sweatshirt over the back of the seat. Ihad to do that with an old plow truck I drove. The headrest kept hitting the wall.
As for the seat, the thick diamond tuck (which is why KW has way more class than all the rest) is not ever gonna stop squeaking if run air on the seat and the seat all the way back. I’ve drove many W900’s (same cab) and never ran air on the seat. That was one reason, the other is I’m 6’1” and had to room otherwise. Also, if you lived in Va you’d be very concerned about the tarp. Va will write you a ticket in a flat second for not tarping everything. No matter what the commodity.
I love your shirt.🤣🤣🤣
I need to get one for my wife AND her daughter. They both have dangerously heavy right feet.
When in doubt, flat out.
Your a hard worker ! All the best fr East Coast Can.
Nice laundry set...
Awesome Red Sox sweat shirt
I didn't notice your seat making the noise until you pointed out.
Easy solution for the seat, dont have it leaned so far back to rub on the cab wall!
Haha I’m guessing you’ve never been in a day cab t800
Build up in the box, I know it is 1 more thing to deal with but when I ran dump truck I installed small pneumatic vibrators to the box ( you choose the location depending where you have the most build up of material) and ran airlines both metal and rubber flexible to them with a switch control in the cab. Did not always require the vibratory but it was effective at the end of the dump cycle when necessary. If you really don't mind climbing in and out of the box to shove then problem solved! And unless you create a little distance between the seat and the wall nothing will prevent the squeaking after a period of time and wear.
Doesn’t work for aluminum box with steel floor.
@@DauminiqueTheDumpTruckDriver OK... not sure I understand what you are telling me? Steel floor with a bracket welded to floor and a vibrator mounted to the bracket. But hay whatever works for you!
@@harvey604journeyman8 it would rip apart the aluminum
And the dump truck is the least needy lol
very respectfully you could tip your seat ahead one or two clicks on the back with your dial on side so the top of the seat is not so tight
If you run any Milwaukee M18 battery tools they make an awesome wet/dry vacuum that is the size of a small hand tool box. The battery last a long time.
Silicone spray on the back of the cab/seat.
Like Red Sox
Armorall for back of seat
Dam u should sell authentic beyond dirt duet that's stuck in ur bed!
Put the felt on the back of the cab. That way you will have cloth rubbing on cloth not cloth rubbing on vinyl.
Check the resistance of the tarp motor that isn't working and the one that is with an ohmmeter and compare the readings. If they are really different then it probably is bad. Like if the good motor has something like 35 ohms and the bad one has 17 ohms it's most likely bad.
Hang a shirt on back of your seat should fix the squeaking if it is still doing it
Thank you for the video , That's great your Husband helps you with your Truck and trailer , My Ex wouldn't never help me on my Truck maybe that's why she's my Ex Lol , please stay safe .
If the cylinder fails the support is only on one side causing the box to tip to one side then bad things can happen not trying to be a downer I have lost a friend be safe good luck with your business
Should have couple plates welded at an angle in front of body so don’t get the build up like you had to clear out with shovel
That would just change the angle of the floor, it wouldn’t stop dirt from sticking. It would just be harder to shovel out.
Nice dump truck, lady.😂
Get two air lines. Nothing ever goes bad
if you have a spare. Belts, tensioners...
