2015 silverado sunroof leak fix
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 4 lety
After being drenched with rain a few times. I took the headliner down and made the corrections to GM's bullshirt design to be safe from rain water getting into my truck from the sunroof.. I will edit later and add links to removing the headliner, installing the catch cups (wich I 3d printed)on the front side, and how to modify the rear side gutter ends so that it never can leak in the truck no ...
Asplundh whisper chipper blades to cutter bar gap

New drum bearings, new blades, flipped cutter bar to fresh edge
Do you have dimensions of the catch can?
I don't but the measurement wasn't super critical. Just gotta cover that little area with the moving partsthat the water ends up dripping down out of
Cup area measured in mm is 8.2 deep x 64 long on one side and 67 on other side x 15mm wide. Then it has a thin flanged surface its attached to for gluing it on the truck so you got nice surface to glue to. That dimension was 85mm long on one side and 78 on the other x 34 wide
@@briansnik1848thank you so much for the help!
@@TheCampbell45no prob man. This fixed my truck for good👍 . Use someone who knows what they're doing on a good 3d printer to make these. Tell them it's gotta hold water!!. Mine leaked in between layers so i had to seal them with caulk outside my catch cups. Important!! Report back if it works out! Watch my other videos for the other mods for waterproofing the gutter troughs. I think i put all the links in this videos description 👍
Id love a set of 3d print catch cups. I am dealing with this now. Fun fun
I actually have found that 3d printing things isn't the best method for holding water. Because it can leak thru tiny imperfections in the printed layers.. so what i did was completely seal the outside of my already installed catch cups with a high grade rtv sealant. So really now my catch cups are really doing nothing but holding the shape while i smear the goop over em and problem solved. Pain in the ass. But man mine has been great since. I did those other mods to the gutter trough ends on my other video and man problem free since. Whoever designed this was close to having it set up awesome, but close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades!! This was destined to fail bro. Water gets in!!! Duh!!
How high do you set the anvil? I just installed a new anvil and new knives. Was cutting and feeding great for about a week, now it won't feed.
If it won't feed then the anvil is set too high. Lowering the anvil and blades adjusted out more will feed better. I don't really understand why it would have fed nicely for a week?.. did the anvil possibly move(down) and out of spec?
It could have had something to do with the type of brush you were chipping also for that week.. i set my anvil too high once and it would eat the whole piece of brush but not the little tiny sticks. They were butted up against the front of the anvil and would absolutely not chip.. lowered the anvil and brought the blades out more and fixed the problem..
Where can I get the file for the 3d printed cups. Or do you sell them? Awesome information!
My cuzzy made mine. Anyone who 3d prints stuff can design and make them pretty easy. I will say this tho. 3d printing isn't the best for water proof stuff. So if you go that route, make sure to seal them nicely with caulk or something. One of mine (3d printed catch cup) needed to be waterproofed better because it leaked. Looong after i made the video.. i did some good sealing with some high quality caulk and it's been perfect ever since. And been thru MAJOR rain
Thank you sir. Fixed my problem. Really sucks these 50k+ trucks have these problems
Ernesto. Glad to help. Fixed mine too.
Hey Brian any way to contact you else where? Troy Bennett fb.
How do you grease it
If your talking about the drum you don't grease it.
@@suemiddleton3903 thanks for your reply
Looks nice Brian, any chance you can post a vid explaining what you did, what you used? Thanks bro!
czcams.com/video/autJC7xpwoI/video.html
Hope this helps brother.... it fixed me up for good! If you 3d print catch cups seal them up on the outside with rtv! (3d printed stuff can leak between the layers of print so seal it up good! *ask me how i know??)........ watch all the videos i linked in the description of the link i just i just sent u....
@@briansnik1848 I don't have a 3D printer, what epoxy did you use? Now that I have mine apart it is easy to see where you applied it... Thanks!
It was like a 5 minute cure time epoxy. Part a and b and wammo ,it's hardened quick! Any epoxy should work tho
How did you get that part off at the back of the tracks that you said you modified?
Man i just watched the whole video and i can't remember how it comes off. It wasn't hard to get but i think it was glued possibly? I think i just carefully pryed it off and i think i remember there is a release spot that helps you get it unmated. ..watch the other vids for clues!
Yep i just checked other vid, there are 2 mating male tips that go into the aluminum track, so you pry downward to get it off. Hope this helps. This is a bad ass mod!... stupid rain leak got its ass kicked
Are you the ufc fighter?
Lol, nice man.
Tell andy thanks for printing my parts!! Happy new year fellas. Here's to a leak free year?!
great info! any idea where to get parts for these old rigs?
They're out there. Depends what you need. And what year and type. Mine is J.E.Y. model I think. 12 inch drum model
How much does the drum in this machine weigh?
The fly wheel alone was I think 440lbs. The drum I'm not sure. But the combined weight of flywheel and drum at 1900rpms equals over 200,000 ft lbs of stored energy,, just waiting for something to touch that first razor sharp blade and suck it thru. Yikes
worked for Asplundh for many years never removed and replaced blades...just bought a old Whisper Chipper. There are directions on how to on the belt housing of the Chipper I am going to give it a whirl,looks simple the blades are really bad. chips the size of dimes on all three blades should I buy new ones?
The old blades in mine had hairline cracks in them.so I bought new. I heard that some people throw them down hard on the concrete to see if they crack in half, if they don't they send them out for sharpening... bandit sells them cheap... safety is a major concern here!
Also, if your blades are terrible, the cutter bar is probably in need of service also. It can be rotated 3 times before it's junk...it's like scissors, the blades are one side of the scissor and the cutter bar is the other, good luck
peter montalbano what’s the proper name for those bolts
what’s the proper name for those bolts
@@Rika1ification we went to napa, brought in the old ones. got grade 8. Held up so far. Altec bought asphlund. you can get parts from them. The last person didnt know how to set up the blades and block. I have a spare new set as we send the old ones out to get sharpened at a local wood mill. I also just put a pertronix ignition system on it today because I dont know much about points so this was just easier and it runs much smoother.
how hard are they to change and set thanks
Sorry, didn't see your comment till today. Not that hard to do. Just have to make sure the mating surfaces are pristine(clean as a whistle) and that the torque sequence is done right. Read all about it first because any failure here could result in death.
Where can you find the torque info?
@@timothycarey4629 I found good info on arborist site.com. the manual is posted on that site somewhere..
Gap is actually .015 - .020. After torquing everything it moved a little. And I was good with that
