      first thin i would check is every connection on the alternator, starter and batteries. you may have a loose or bad connection allowing the alternator to charge but break connection when a load is applied. you can do a voltage drop test with a multimeter at each connection but cleaning and re-tightening usually reveals bad connections faster.

    I have never worked on air brakes and most likely never will. But i really don't have a good understanding of how they work and i hear about park brake on air brake if you do some brake work in the future would you take the time to explain how the whole air brake works. i think i understand how caging the brakes work but thats about all i think i understand. and the park brake i don't understand. i do know that when you apply brakes it is done by lowering air pressure to them but don't really understand what applies the brake i assume it is something in the canister that you cage the brakes with thanks

    • @TheBrokenLife
      @TheBrokenLife Год назад

      Inside the canister that he's "caging" is a BIG spring (the act of caging is what releases that spring pressure). That big spring is what applies the brakes. The air works against the springs to release them. Air brakes work exactly like juice brakes, but backward. In juice brakes we apply fluid to apply the brakes and a spring returns everything so the brakes release. On air brakes, springs apply all of the force and air is what keeps them from working. That's when you hear a big truck set the parking brake, or just come to a stop, they're just dumping all of the air. So, they're locking the brakes up by way of not having any pressure fighting against the springs. It's like a juice car where there is a separate parking brake mechanism that works on springs and cables. Air brakes just apply the service brakes to "park".
      So... If there is no air, the brakes are on. It's the exact oppsite of juice/wet brakes you may be familiar with from automotive.

      @newjerseybill3521 Год назад

      @@DependableAutoTruck Well, he kind of has it right. He described the "Parking brake" circuit pretty well. They are fail safe apply, meaning you apply air pressure in the parking chamber against the spring to release the brakes, release the air pressure whether intentionally to park, or a system failure will apply them. The service (main) brakes are like hydraulic brakes. The more pressure on the chamber the more braking force. The brake pedal is basically a pressure regulator. the farther down you push the higher the pressure, release the pedal, the pressure drops..

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  Год назад

      there are 2 separate systems. "service brake" is what you use when you push on your brake pedal (also called foot valve). "spring brake" is what you use when parking the vehicle or if there is an loss of air supply in the air tanks. a very simplified explanation is this:
      spring brakes are in the rear section of the brake chamber. the large internal spring pulls on a rod that engages the brake shoes against the drum. the brakes are engaged until the spring is compressed by applying air pressure to a chamber with a flexible diaphragm. when the chamber reaches 60psi, the spring begins to compress and release the parking brakes. the brakes are no able to be used as service brakes.
      service brakes use the foot valve to apply air pressure to the front part of the brake chamber. this moves the same (but separated) rod that the spring break uses. spring brake pulled it back creating space between the shoes and the drum. the service brake moves the same rod forward to close the gap between shoes and drum. the foot valve increases pressure as you push harder on the pedal. you let off the pedal and it exhausts the pressure from the service brake chamber and releases the brakes.
      the spring brakes also have a fail safe built into the system. if the air pressure in the "primary" air tank (this is the tank that supplies air pressure to your rear brakes) falls to about 45 psi, the air pressure being applied to the spring brakes will be removed causing the spring brakes to apply. this is intended to slow the vehicle or bring it to a stop in the event of failure. keep in mind that spring brakes are only on drive axles not on steer axles. many times only one drive axle of a tandem will have 30/30 chambers. that means a 30 square inch air chamber for the service brakes and a 30 square in air chamber for the the spring brakes. others can have just service brakes which is a single 30 chamber. so you are now trying to stop something that had 6 brake chambers applying brakes with now only 2 or 4 chambers. so it isnt something to rely on. good drivers are always scanning gauges to know whats happening with their truck. we are not including any trailer to this just for simplicity.

    • @j.c.smithprojects

      the bearings are the sacrificial softer material between the rods to crank and block to crank. by design they are going to wear long before the crank does. not much metal in the pan or the oil. the metal has probably been drained out with oil changes over the years.

      Another thing to mention is that this is a mechanical engine. There will be always a bit more fuel dilution in the engine oil. Rolling new bearings in is part of the maintenance on those engines.
      If you do oil sampling on your engine oil you will see the lead go up and when the copper gets elevated you know it’s time to do bearings.
