I’ve been into trucks and most things with an engine since I was a kid, and this is my means to document and share what I’m working on with a wider audience. I do almost all the work myself out of my barn and driveway at home and out of my own pocket. I'm a little meticulous and a big realist, so my projects reflect that combination and end up being something the average person could afford. I don't know everything but love figuring it out and learning along the way.

Rob’s Rides over the years (SOME of them!)
I am looking for a Jake for a L10 for a 1989 Aerostar, PT pump. If you have a lead on one I am a buyer, I beleive they are 404BG correct?
Yes, that should be a 404BG. You can find the Jacobs parts manual for the L10 series online and verify that based on your ESN. I don’t have a line on any, they are pretty hard to come by.
@@robstruckshop80 Thank you, I figured. Thank you anyways!
Been using my l10 to drag the monster truck around inside a 48x102 dry box. With a few pump mods It has no issues all over the pnw. I'm thinking Jake's are next on the list.
I’m right there with you, pump modifications and injectors woke mine right up.
Glad you got it done Rob! I just spent 5 days in mine with several loads, came down the hills out of Lead/Deadwood loaded with very little trailer brakes. 9pm at night, 25mph and let it bark the whole way!! People can be pissed all they want, I love the Jake's on my L-10! ~Rob~
That’s the sound of good old-fashioned commerce! I love your truck
Amazing Rob! They sound awesome! Great work! That grin at the end of the video says it all!
I couldn’t help myself, I’ve been waiting 44 years to own that sound!!
Now this is the video i was waiting for there rob..... way back when u got those jakes..... thank you. i love ya man !!!!!!
Haha thanks, I’m just as pumped!
Hi Rob, good to see you back, I hope you enjoyed your break from filming, I mean let's be honest, you didn't take a break from the work, your not wired that way, really enjoyed watching the process, keep up the good work my friend. 🇬🇧
You know it, I definitely didn’t take a break from work! I have a problem with sitting still I think…. Thanks brother!
How do I set up the work clemp

The work clamp?
Thanks for sharing
Going to be a process
Rob, those jakes sound absolutely incredible!!! Please, please do a super long unedited ASMR with a full load now that the jakes are installed, I want as much raw action as possible!!! Please let me know ASAP.
Very nice!
Thanks, Rob!
Love your videos Rob 😁😁
Thank you brother!!!
Looks really great! The inside looks way more spacious than I would have originally thought. It was a completely rotted camper before and now has been converted to a mobile 5 star hotel room! Well done sir!
Thanks, Nick! I’ll have to do one more video on it, it’s now been final painted, trimmed out, plus fixtures and textiles added. It looks 10x better now! Thanks so much for watching
It was nice to meet you. Thanks for the shout out.
You ever check your real world mileage??
I have not, I only run the truck once or twice a year
You tube thought I needed to see this today.
That poor old girl, I miss her!
Did you have to isolate one side from the other via a check valve or dual outlet ports on the solenoids? Always wondered if sway control was needed in cornering without something keeping each bag isolated from the other.
I’ve heard that from a lot of people as well. Most suggest check valves or just going to a dual leveling valve setup and ditching the solenoid. I’ve had zero issues and don’t have any lean in corners. Virtually every rear axle air ride setup is built that way too, so it stands to reason that it wouldn’t be a problem. I may change to a leveling valve set up at some point so I’m not relying on a solenoid, but I won’t waste the money on 2.
@@robstruckshop80 Thanks for the reply
How does it haul compared to your F450 in the ball park 20k on deck of trailer. Does it have plenty of power. How well does it pull hills with that much weight? Rough fuel mileage?
Honestly it’s comparing apples and oranges. With that weight load, the 450 pulls harder, accelerates faster, gets slightly better mileage and stops just as good. The 450 can gross 40k up an average grade at 70 mph, whereas the Ford will have to drop a gear and be at 50-55. That’s the difference of a 475 horse automatic vs a 325 horse manual. The L10 roughly gets me 6-6.5 grossing 40k whereas the powerstroke will get 9. The L10 has plenty of power for its weight and what I’m pulling, with my new trailer I’m grossing 50-55k depending what’s on the deck. If I was pulling 70 or 80 I’d want a tandem with 450+ horse. I hear a lot of talk about folks switching to a medium or heavy truck to pull rv’s and trailers in the 10-26k range, and I think they’ll all be disappointed. At those weights you don’t need it and they’ll be slow and harder to maneuver. If you’re comparing that to a 30 year old 1 ton then sure, it’s a win, but modern diesel pickups will dominate every category at those kinds of weights, it’s just a numbers game.
You really did a nice job on the video! Your trucks look mint!
Thanks Jason!
Looks like s good show, I recognize some of those trucks. Been following Miss Flatbed Red for quite a while, and she's been at a few shows I was at, but I've yet to meet her. I'll definitely keep an eye out for your tour on her channel!
Sick cab overs
I will be watching for it . I've been following her for years
Flatbed reds truck
Nice rigs
What happening to the blue truck Rob more videos please
Honestly, I doubt I’ll have time to get back to that truck until some time in October- She’s tucked away safely in the barn. Keep an eye out this fall for more progress though!
Good job Rob!
Thank you!
I don't blame you. I've often wondered how folks find the time to make these videos. Filming is one thing, but there's also tons of editing, etc to get it ready to put out there. I've toyed with the idea of my own channel, but not only do I not have the time, I also have very little patience with everyone's opinions and telling me what I'm doing wrong, etc. Nope, not gonna go there 😅. I do appreciate the content you and others put out, and I completely understand and agree with your decision. That's the way it should be!
Bob, thank you for that. It’s time consuming to say the least, and I don’t want to just put out junk content. I’d rather have less of it that’s as interesting as I can make it.
I completely understand! I have been swamped beyond belief myself and it can be really hard to dedicate the time to youtube. It doesnt help you put your heart and soul into a video and it flops. Your community appreciates but youtube itself doesnt. Dont forget to enjoy the process of making videos! I often wonder how so many big channels can put a video out a day and I often forget they are generally not doing work like yours and my channel are doing. Anything trades related on video is infinitely harder to film and takes more time and money to actually complete the project not mention roadblocks from not having a certain skill, tool, or even parts on backorder. You keep doing you, I will still be watching!
Thank you Nick! I agree, I do t know how some folks do it, but I know I can’t keep up that kind of pace. I’d rather do it as time and budget allows and have the most interesting content I’m capable of creating. I love what you do too- there’s not that many channels out there that show the real work being done by the owner like you do. Thanks again
@@robstruckshop80 thanks! I agree as well! I would rather put out much better content once a month rather than meet a deadline. I feel that it almost can shut down creativity. I didnt really understand that until I started making youtube videos.
Youre an idiot for calling a big cam junk.
I didn’t. Go troll somewhere else
Awesome video
Glad your back 😊😊
Thank you!!!
i missed ya rob. hope things get better for ya plus im still coping with my depression...hope to keep in touch with ya... love ya bro
No worries- everything is all good, just have keep the right perspective! Take care, brother
I found you thru your 3500HD stuff since that's the to work truck I own . But I love the other stuff you have as well . Wish you and your family well . And I' ll watch what you put out when you put it out .
Thank you so much. The old HD is tucked away in the barn waiting for her turn- I’ll be back at it over the next few weeks
youtube can be a struggle for sure. i have considered quitting many times. i am grateful for any video you put out. hard part for me is, when i take a break i realize just how much time youtube really takes out of my life. i get so much more done when i am not doing videos.
Thanks, JC. It’s amazing how much time it really takes. I’d love to push it to the next level but between family and a business to run, that just isn’t feasible, so I decided to stick with keeping CZcams as a hobby and a way to share my projects. I’ll be watching the cargostar series closely, that’s right up my alley. If I weren’t up to my neck in obligations, I’d be there to lend a hand!
Rob, you've busted your arse over the last year, if anyone has a problem with you taking a break, sod them, you do what's right for you and your family, the regulars amongst us will always be there to watch when you do post video's. I look forward to seeing what you have planned, take care of yourself Brother. 🇬🇧
That means a lot, I appreciate your loyalty and always the kind words. I’m not going anywhere, just will be a bit more spaced out
No worries Rob, I'll still be with you every step of the way! Family always comes first! Just remember once you put those jakes on Lynn the LN9000, do a super long unedited ASMR in-cab video of her fully loaded with jakes on! Don't forget to include engine start up at the beginning and engine shutdown at the end, and to make it as long as possible - for me, the longer the ASMR, the better! Please let me know ASAP, and looking forward to the next one!
I appreciate that- the jakes video should be in the next few weeks!
Do what you gotta do
Family always first
Very true, thank you
Cool 😎 Family comes first in my book !!! You have some awesome rigs !!! Thanks for sharing the videos !!! Hope YOU and THE FAMILY enjoyed the vacation !!! Can't wait to see the next video !!!
We had an incredible vacation- thank you for the kind words!
It's a job to make videos. I've been trying to download one all day. I like your projects, can't wait to see the chevy done.
Thank You. I appreciate you watching them and definitely stay tuned for the Chevy, it’ll be back this fall
Damn that was a good cold start but I know that starter was cherry red lol
Does you L10 have jakes?
It will in about 3 more weeks when I put them on!
@@robstruckshop80 I have an L10 I’m putting jakes on too. I have the actual jakes but i need every thing else do you have any part numbers
I had to buy most of that stuff for mine too. Get ready to open your wallet at Cummins, they sell all the Jacobs parts but in the really expensive boxes with C’s on them 😂. Here’s the parts manual: www.cummins.com/sites/default/files/jvs/service_literature/00-015746-Rev-E.pdf
@@robstruckshop80 thanks I appreciate that. How much would you say you spent?
@One_luv_logistics I had $800 into it. I had the jakes and spacer, the pump/throttle switch, some hardware and some fittings. I bought the rest of the Hardware, gaskets, dash switch and clutch switch.
Hey buddy, how you doing? I’ve got a 86 Ford LTL 9000. It’s got a perfect running big cam in it with a 13 speed. I’m trying to get rid of it. The truck needs some work but a fire right up and runs perfect and it don’t smoke like most come when you first started no blow by solid as a rock the truck could be put back on the road with a set of tires and bushings. Do you know where I can sell it sell it?
I don’t- I’m not in the market and I can’t think of anyone who is off hand
❤ Excuse me, I have a product. I think we can cooperate.❤
3:30 why does it kinda sound like a countach😂
It’s that 2 stroke scream I guess
What mpg’s you get with that L10?
I’ve never actually calculated it but it’s in the neighborhood of 7 grossing around 40k
Here for all the idiots saying it will need a starter because they have no idea how the start is designed different on trucks. They are made for long cranks thats how you get the cyl temp up
Hey I’d love to talk to you more about how you have been getting rid of your vibration issues cause I just picked up a 2022 F450 platinum and I’ve been to about 10 different shops to try and get a balanced and the vibration is driving me crazy
Centramatics make a big difference along with quality tires, but I also keep in mind that it’s a commercial truck de-rated to 14k GVWR and it’s on Lo-pro commercial tires, so some minor vibration and a generally poor ride when empty is part of the 450 pickup game
