When you going to do a LPX video? I’m eagerly awaiting for my LPX.
@@boatjoe232 Just recorded one a few days ago.. it’s coming 😁
@@diamondctrailers hopefully i will see my charcoal 207 24ft max ramp LPX in the video.
My vendor won’t upgrade my order. Almost a year waiting. Can you help?
@@serviceshoptoday there is a lock in date on your order. Once that date passes. They start production on ur trailer shortly after. Also it’s a Diamond C policy is what I have been told by my dealer, that is why u can’t alter ur order likely. They don’t want an order started and then changed halfway through. This can add a massive amount of extra work if someone were to decide they want longer frame or heavier axles etc. your dealer should be able to login to the diamond c portal and tell you what your lock-in date is. I’m no expert here, but I’m going through the build process and waiting for my trlr to arrive also but all the info I just gave came from my dealer direct. Hope this helps explain why your getting the answer you got.
People commonly call them "Oil filled Hubs" when the actual term is "Oil Bath Hubs". You only need enough for the bottom of the bearings to be covered in order to splash the oil. It's usually the same guy that overfilled them that complains that they leak.
Spot on! 👌
Facts
Nothing gives you a better peace of mind, like having top of the line equipment on your heavy duty trailer. Diamond C, top notch all around!!
(Say that in a deep Texan cowboy voice,almost sounds like a slick slogan)🤠🤔😁
Another video full of knowledge, keep'em coming!
Yessir! 🤠
My reason for running grease on my dump trailers is because when loading with a skid steer if I bump the older style plastic sight hub cover it would crack, sling oil all over, possibly leave you without good brakes and maybe lose a bearing. If I bump the metal cover on a greasable axle not much going to go wrong.
I'm curious how the new style caps would hold up to a bump from a skid steer.
I have 3 of your trailers now. I'm a fan of the product, company and the way you work at giving your customers good information through videos like this.
Great info, thank you!
A great tutorial
I really like my diamond c trailer
I would love to see the process of how you make your engineered beams
I personally only put on a few thousand kms or miles a year. Grease is my go to. Probably something to do with tire diameter and axle flex why grease does better on smaller axles.
Wish you would have explained on both axles how the rotor is attached. On the lightweight is is just sitting on the studs and can just pull off when the tire is off? On the heavy axles how much do you have to tear down to replace the rotor? How is the rotor attached to the moving part of the axle, and how is the caliper attached to the axle? Might need to make another video to show us how they are made and how maintenance is done.
My question is does your disc brakes have indicators on the brake pad so when the brake pads wear completely down they start making a squeak from the indicator telling you to inspect your brakes.
The thing I hear most about grease vs oil is on the single wheel axles the wheels flex a lot while turning and breaks the seal on them pretty often. I just ordered a trailer with 8k axles and I'm assuming oil hubs so I'll find out for myself
I prefer grease, it doesn’t leak so easy.
Really happy with my LPT. Any thoughts on a making a roll off dumpster gooseneck trailer in the future?
Thanks for the compliment! We’ve given it some thought - nothing definitive but it’s a possibility!
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing
Thank you Dr. Mark! Thanks for being with us since day one! 😎
@@diamondctrailers I hope one day I can "tour" the plant 🤗
You should make the tongue on your gooseneck trailers 8 foot so the hotshot people can buy your 40 ft trailer and not be over length for all the length laws of 65 ft overall. I will say that is what kept me from buying one and I really like your trailers. Just a suggestion.
Does this trailer came with the manual and maintenance guide like every how many miles do we have to change the oil on this hub etc?
It does 👍
Any idea when your engineered beam 2.0 rolls out? I’m asking because my FMAX 216 is supposed to be done by end of august per your employees words. Just curious if there is any prayer the new beams will be in the trailer?
I believe it was stated 2nd half of this year in one of your prior videos. And I watch all of em, lol love all the content.
Hi @@scottarvidson8585, 2.0 is expected to go live some time this fall. With all of the supply chain issues this year new product launches have been difficult to get into action so unfortunately we don’t have a pinpointed date yet, but I can confidently say it’s not going live in August.
We do want to say thank you so much for choosing DC and being a fan! Can’t wait to see you and your new DC getting it done!
About how much does a new rotor cost?
What type of hub oil do you recommend for the 12k axles?
Any premium 90 weight gear oil works great. Lucas Oil products makes Lucas Hub Oil as well.
@@diamondctrailers 75w-90 or 80w-90
Can I buy a trailer and have more lights added to it is that possible to have done
Yes u can. It’s part of there build your own trailer process. Just don’t be dumb and buy trailer and then add lights yourself. Diamond C comes with a 1 piece sealed harness. At least if you ever see salt on ur Roads I would keep that harness integrity intact.
What brand of disk brakes do you use on your heavy axles
Great question! We use Lippert axles with DeeMaxx disc brakes. Check out deemaxx.com
@@diamondctrailers do you sell the brakes. 12k lippert axles. Thanks for qick response.
@@nathanfrederick9097 you’re welcome! Yes, please email German at germana@diamondc.com and he can help you. 👍
The 10k axle option…it only has drum brakes as an option, just wanted to triple check and see if it’s possible to do disc brakes on the 10k axles
Never hurts to check. It’s not available on 10Ks because of the size of the hub and caliper it constricts bed width down to a largely unusable width.
@@diamondctrailers thank you very much!
The next step is air disc brakes and suspension
