- Today, we are doing a day in the life as a mobile diesel mechanic. We had a big payday. Billing 2600$ in labor and markups. In the video, we are doing a brake chamber, clutch adjustment, and a DOT federal annual inspection. This video is for entertainment purposes only! Enjoy 😉.
Anyone who works on heavy vehicles earns every penny they get, well done buddy.
@oldbloke100 I agree. And thank you very much 😉
As a 64 year old bricklayer. I know what it's like to be dirty every day. Somehow I get filthy on my days off? Best wishes from the Eastern Shore!
@JohnCarter-qv1ie Hahaha, you know exactly what I'm talking about! Thanks bud!
This is exceptional content! You make it look easy, thanks for video👌
@brandonscarfe8803 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😉
You make me want to leave my job and go mobile on my own haha
That tool ya got for holding down the clutch is smart! I’ve tried fighting a brake depressor in but I’ve had bad luck with that, I usually toss the new guy in and tell him to hold the pedal lol
@@thejunkyarddrifter When I get a helper, that tool will retire.
Love the videos brother! Keep them coming!
@guccitrail08 Thanks Gucci 😉
Oof when you brought up going home clean, i didnt even think about that when it comes to doing mobile work. I get 6 cean uniforms changed out a week, and scrub down my hands, arms, face and neck before changing into my street clothes and getting in my car and heading home everyday. Not having that luxury would be rough.
Hey man, awesome video- would you do a video on how one could get started doing their own Mobile HDM truck/buisness? Im 3rd year and having my own truck and doing work on HE is what my 5 year goal looks like currently. Thanks alot!
for future reference, ive never had one of those chambers not slightly leak and turn into a big leak at the clamp. the diaphragms are usually the cheapest and thinnest you could use, i tried like mad to re set one that i knew i had recently put on and the only way to stop the leak was a quality diaphragm.
@frankenstrat25 I will have a video one of these days on how to replace the diaphragm
@@RCGdiesel been there done that. I'll be waiting for everybody in the comments that you did a piggy back or diaphragm change and not the whole chamber
Gosh, that is a super big brake cylinder!
@@sdjnwhyNZ That is how it is done on the heavy truck side
@@RCGdiesel I own a 2-ton light commercial truck. Everything is so micro compared to those of the giants you are servicing. But the layout of components are very similar. That's why your channel is still inpring to me.
hey boss love the videos im sure you clean up at the house ! but you should get some tubo towels they are the best to clean up hands tools etc
@@Jose-ge8rh Great idea!
bro just watching you start getting dirty and begin working made me happy as fuck !
@@userxRQx93x 😂 glad you are enjoying the videos! You crack me up!
Hard work 💪 bro is a bread earner
Subsribed! Love your wwork-started watching ur vidos a short while ago. My Son has teh same type business here in Va. Has a small shop and three service trucks. Stays very busy../
@glennjukes5581 Thank you for subscribing! That is awesome! Good for your son. My goal is to have a small shop one day. Thank you for the comment 😁
Good Stuff!
@@dannymacpherson7155 Thanks man
I change the slack adjusters to the new version
@@chubbytx1042 That is a good idea
Looks like there's some dirt in there. Is the tensioner release stuck open? That might be what cause it not to click.
@sasquatch5577 no, it just bad. It didn't have a parking pawl.
I don't see it. but I do hear it lol
@@beckyb943 I heard that!
I hate 2 piece brakes but I'm this case it's acceptable lol
@charles1990s Yes sir
I’m still looking for the sound
@@Mostlyanxious 🤣
What do you usually cut your 30/30 long and short stoke rods to, an old timer taught me to always cut 4” top of the nut
@tootoofan55 Yeah, most of them are 4". Some trailers are different
@@RCGdiesel sweet man thank you good to know! I’m a lone mechanic for a fleet so do everything from tractors to float trailer to end dumps and all heavy equipment loving the videos man keep em coming!
My biggest struggle lately is electrical problems so trying to improve the skills with a multi meter 😂
Was that 2600 for parts and labor or just labor?
That was profit for the day.
👏✌
@@vitorhenrique710 😁
Why would you want 2 inches of clutch play in the pedal?
@6Diego1Diego9 That is the spec. As long as the linkage has not been messed with, it should give you a 1/2 between clutch brake and throwout bearing. I couldn't show the other measurements because the clutch brake was missing.
With no free play. The clutch could potentially not be engaging completely . And maybe slipping .
Hi
Do you hire?
