Hey man, I’m in a trade school learning to become a diesel tech. I’m 17 and I passed my entry level ASE for T5 steering and suspension. I took my professional ASE test on 12/13 and missed passing by 2 points( Needed a 34/50 and I had a 32/50) this has helped me understand rear axel and frame diagnosis and repair as I struggled with that on my professional T5. I’ll be taking the professional again in January, wish me luck, and again thank you for helping me understand. Respect from central Florida.
@@budatkins5917 Sir, What I'm asking is the call letters of the Station he's listening to 🤣🤣🤣🇺🇲✝️ #LedZeppelin #DefLeppard #TedNugent #Aerosmith #Journey
I appreciate your skill. I installed dump bodies for years and most good mechanics don't have the skills to do what you do. Taking pride in not getting people on the hwy hurt is something most miss. You have my little approval for what it's worth.
I love all the history/background to all these things, Devon. More of this please. Don't change things too much. You are great as is. Fascinating and amusing and entertaining!
Love what you are doing .Great to see how things are done on trucks .I used to do car collision work so is interesting how big equipment is done. Keep on bendin, Cheers from Australia.
I used to work at what is now the only truck spring and suspension repair shop in the Winston Salem NC area back in the 80s. They had a couple Bee Line frame machines made in the 50s and 60s but no one that knew how to use them other than to do front end alignments. Its cool to see how it works
Frenchmen named Perrot designed first air operated brakes, originally designed for trains. Westinghouse saw that brakes at Paris word fair and purchased patent rights, that is now WABCO. French also defined hydraulic (Pascal), and have builded many first hydraulic systems, like hydraulic recuperator, hydraulic elevator....
one thing i have said my whole life as a mechanic. you know what you tell a mechanic dancing and singing in the shop? not a damn thing. he loves what he does!!!!
I kinda wish you could help me figure out my pick up. I'm told I have a bent frame .. I'm so sure the person before me got the tie rod end spin count backwards .. leaving me with cockeyes steering wheel(because as far as I can remember that's all keyed. While back , I saw why I was getting a shake at 65 i'm on the inside of my tire.. so i'll likely be wrenching on it this weekend :/
If you ever have one of these that come apart real nice because the last guy cleaned all the threads and used anti-seize... you're welcome. LOL! I wanted to know what you are using to spread the axle? Just an air jack?
@@johnmickelson824 perhaps, truck needs to go to the shop to get diagnosed. Shitty thing is it does not do this unless you load the front end. Today I figured out that if I backed under a trailer and put some pressure on the 5th wheel and then dry steered back and forth I could make the popping noise without moving the truck. Noise is coming from under the steering box at the front of the leaf spring.
How come I've taken my company truck to 3 different shops and they all say the alignment is fine when it shimmies all over the lane and pulls hard right? They hook it up to a computer and press a button. No old school tools are used. But I can see the tram is 3/16s off _with a damn tape measure._ About to buy all the tools and do it myself, this is ridiculous.
What causes shimmy or a off/on bounce? It seems to change with road surface from concrete to asphalt. Drive tire wear is excellent and it’s felt mainly in the seat. Don’t seem to come up through the steering column. Truck has a junk Holland fifth wheel with rubber bushings that have a ton of slop even when new. Steer tire wear is really good and all the shocks are just over 2years old. Can’t see any obvious wear on torque rod bushings or spring bushings. No slop on the steering wheel axle ends. Western Star 5700XE Airliner suspension.
The issue is that most trucks do not have an adjustable drag link. This prevents accurate wheel centering. The solution is to reposition the steering wheel. Either at the wheel or the gearbox. This is usually not a perfect adjustment, and may require re-setting the steering angle sensor on newer trucks.
You’ll do a hell of a lot more damage lugging & pinging it at low rpm than you’ll ever do from spinning it to 2200. Pumps, compressors, earthmoving equipment, tractors, ships, and tons of other industries use the same engines that commercial trucks use and spin them at governed speed for hours, days, or weeks on end without issue.
Did you square the first drive axle to the frame? Make sure distance from wheel to frame is the same on both side. Make sure rear drive axle is the same rim to frame then align rear drive axle to first drive axle. This is the way we doit at Ryder. Maybe it’s a step I didn’t see you do. Still like your videos
@@Failure_Is_An_Option you’re attempting to establish centerline of rear axle. Outer circumference of bent wheel or out of round tire is not on that centerline
I just had 2 new front tires and alignment done because of chopped tires. Now the dam steering wheel shakes and it pulls to the right so bad im leaning left on the steering wheel the whole dam time. Did they not test drive the dam thing? Now i gotta take it back and lose another day of work. Pay attention mechanics. Test drive the dam thing.
Pulls to the right ?? Single axle? Passenger side drive axle is too far forward. Dual axle?? 1. Both drive axles the right sides are too far forward. OR 2. The passenger side axles are closer together on that side and the driver side are farther apart If one steer is clearly more beat up more than the other you have one of the 3 issues listed above AND AND AND a toe in/out problem … all depends on way steer tire is more beat up Right hand pull and the passenger side steer is way more beat up than the driver side ?? Too much toe in and right Side drive axles issues m/right side pull Driver side steer tire more beat up than the passenger?? Well still a right side drive axle issue but now it’s combined with a tow out issue.

I miss that radio station. For years I was there for 3 days a week. Retired now. Keep up doing the good work brother!!
What's the call letters to the Radio Station
Jackson Mississippi had WZZQ 102.9 (now it's called WMSI MISS 103)
Not sure about Jackson@@RichardMLowe

You make me want to twist a frame just so I can come to your shop. Great content. The history lesson was cool too. 👍
I want to see a video on how to do front end alignment on a Peterbilt…! Thanks keep up the good work!
Great explanation of the suspension system and how to check and adjust. Live that radio station, music I grew up with, I’m 62.
Appreciate the opportunity to learn good buddy! Definitely digging the new format 👌 👍 You be jammin mane! Chirping gears and pulling broadies!

Great tunes in that shop
I will contact the Stone Coyotes and see if they will give him rights to play their music. They Rock.
Liked the history lesson. Good additiion
Thank you so much for covering a little bit of the history of air suspension. I'm glad I learned a little more about it.

This one of the best tutorials uve done that has helped me understand what no mechanic could tell me what's happening with my tires
Those Westlake Chinese rags are going to cup out no matter what 😂
@@mattmead2623 true
I've used a BeeLine tandem aligner more times than I care to remember, nice job on the tutorial....
I enjoy your videos and learn something every time, so anything you get time to video is fine with me, sorry no special ideas.

i just love watching true craftsmen and your skill leverl is awesome and the music you play in the shop is what i grew up on

Ben, U r the great one of truck frames. Enjoy your videos very much brother.
I just shipped a new press last week. Awesome equipment!😅
what radio station is that? are they on I heart radio? great vids, keep em comming
Good stuff real skill video anything you work on your classic
Put all your videos together just like this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ layout and flow!!!
Great music...
What bands were playing on the box....I couldn't hear it because of your air leak! :)
You and Zipties would get along great.
Great channel bro!!!
Really enjoy watching you do your craft.
Thanks buddy...

Great work!
You know anybody out in Cali that does this kind of work?
I always called the tram. The scrub angle
good one
Great job, accuracy #1 in alignment work😊
I'm curious as to your method of removing and replacing walking beams.
I was always turning up the volume too!
Every time I hear def leppard I think of 1 question. What has 9 arms and sucks?
Bend’em to the right, twist’em to the left, torque’em to town and back and send’em down the road true. Don’t matter the weight limit. You be you.
Great job and video thanks
Awesome BBC video
the mullet just seals it in. you aint never gonna have somebody as cool touch your truck!

I’d like to see neway done if you run across a truck that has it
What's the name of his shop, and where are they located?
Idea on video. Threaded leaf and hanger pins/bushings (Paccar, Volvo), what is acceptable amount of play. Brand new they have movement. Thanks.
Do a video showing how to diagnose front spring hanger issues. I am currently having a popping noise coming from my steer axle in turns.
Probably your shackle pin bushings

Pin bushings. Does it do it in rainy weather? Pins have grease fittings?
Hell yea. Short and sweet

Do everything twice got it.
Things I like i try twice...ya got that right 👍
Need an alignment
Location pls
Keep on Keeping on
Did you grab your bracket? When you took shims out did that move both wheels on the drivers side?
Id love to know why following an alighment the steering wheel might be crooked. Have driven a number of trucks with this done.
Because after performing a wheel alignment, the tech is supposed to center the steering wheel
The issue is that most trucks do not have an adjustable drag link. This prevents accurate wheel centering. The solution is to reposition the steering wheel. Either at the wheel or the gearbox. This is usually not a perfect adjustment, and may require re-setting the steering angle sensor on newer trucks.
So what do you do if you keep shiming. and it never lines up.
Chances are you have a bent rear end housing
Holy RPM....
You’ll do a hell of a lot more damage lugging & pinging it at low rpm than you’ll ever do from spinning it to 2200.
Pumps, compressors, earthmoving equipment, tractors, ships, and tons of other industries use the same engines that commercial trucks use and spin them at governed speed for hours, days, or weeks on end without issue.

Axle offset is important but will not cause driveability issues or excessive tire wear.
I believe that is air leaf. Curious. Does that method compensate for an out of round tire or bent wheel on rear driver.
Think it out... Were is he measuring? Where is your hypothetical damage at?
@@Failure_Is_An_Option you’re attempting to establish centerline of rear axle. Outer circumference of bent wheel or out of round tire is not on that centerline

Too much toe in and right
Side drive axles issues m/right side pull
Driver side steer tire more beat up than the passenger??
Well still a right side drive axle issue but now it’s combined with a tow out issue.
Where exactly in Houston is your shop located? I live In Htown
It makes me wonder how they could never get the alignment right on my tri-axle I used to drive🤔
You should put a link in your description to your Etsy store ….
