      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!

      @@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.

    It's your panel squeaking not the seat, put the felt on the panel. One thing I always keep in a toolbox on the truck is air line of every size (plastic and rubber) fittings are generally reusable so I also have extra ferals. Also a good electrical kit and wire. I don't know how many times it's saved my bacon and other driver's as well. I also have a decent assortment of tools (sockets, wrenches up to 1 1/4" , 2 pipe wrenches, a set of Cresent wrenches, screw drivers, ect...)

    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.

    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 !!!

When you get home Sunday afternoon you're to tired to do anything except eat, shower and watch half the game. You speak to your girl and she turns and spits in your face. That's trucking, what a wonderful life.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @Plowguitarist
    @Plowguitarist 2 года назад

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Every time I see your trailer I am fascinated. Like I have wrote we don't have that in the Northeast. It sounds really cool and if the motor on the truck can handle the weight and not wear quicker then it sounds like you can make double the money. I would think putting all that weight would lower your fuel economy and reduce the lifetime on the trucks motor. Looks cool either way and thanks for sharing.
