As a new trucker I must say this video helped me a lot to understand about the service brakes, thanks for posting this, very helpful

[@miketython5824]

This was the best one I watched all day. Thank you very much for your effort

[@lawrenceneely7859]

I love the video I'm on a mission to get my CDL license I'm studying for the permit test and I'm on my way to a new career thanks for the video

[@christosvolikakis1523]

Make sure as a driver you always have some basic tools with you and befriend as many Mobile diesel mechanic’s as you can. The more you know about how the truck you are operating functions, the better driver you’ll be directly securing your future. Being able to adjust your own brakes in doing a walk around that shouldn’t take more than 5 to 10 minutes before and after your shift is some thing I was taught to do at a young age and can gladly say that I retired from the industry putting in almost 40 years.

[@HighLeeIntuitive1968]

Very helpful. I am testing for my air brake endorsements to be added to my Texas Class B, CDL. Visual illustrations, with verbal explanation by Greg were very helpful. I have a working understanding of Service Brakes v. Spring Brakes. Both component names and component function were effectively explained. Time to study... Thank you.

[@allyoopdan991]

What? No such word exists in the English language

[@truckcaretv8649]

Good wark

[@davidblaske6911]

So if im hearing correctly, when the air brake alarm buzzer goes off around 60 psi, the pressure in a standard size 30 chamber drops to around 1800 which causes an automatic release of the power spring in the rear diaphram because it pops your red and yellow buttons.

[@hedayatreyhani]

Thx

[@stevenmoodley814]

Amazing video bro.
So i do alot of tri axle trailer brakes. But the drum and shoe parts and i want to be able to help my clients when it comes to air brakes. Is there some sort of crash course i can do?

My grandpa invented the spring brake!

[@Rajeshkumar-xx9ly]

I make this part(spring brake servgice brake) of brake in motherson company for VABCO

[@xiamalcami1878]

Why some airbrakes trucks failed to stop...and they say that they lose air? It means they don't use airbrake that stop when losing air pressure? Or they just only use service brake only without emergency brake?

[@felipeocampo3885]

Buen día , me ayudan con los videos en español y donde puedo descargar manuales en español, gracias

[@akpommartins2321]

[@sari-saringvideos6171]

Sir, is it necessary to replace brake air chamber every 3 years?

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

No, it is not. However, this question is somewhat dependent on the specific brake pots that you have in service. For example, the Haldex Life Seal product is a sealed unit with no plug so the likelihood of contaminants corroding the spring or the spring cage are incredibly low. This is why the product has a 8 year service life warranty. You may get even more years out of the product but Haldex provides this guarantee based on the quality design of the product. The Gold Seal product by Haldex has a 4 year service life warranty. So, unless you experiencing issues with the brake system, you do not need to replace every 3 years. If you are in the market for new brake pots, be sure to check them out here:

[@jessecampbell4580]

When measuring the diameter of the clamp to determine brake chamber size, do you measure the inside or outside diameter?

[@tottohead]

I am not get no brakes in the back it is a service brakes system

[@troll-fx2zc]

[@MrCxiong116]

These brake systems are much simpler than hydraulics in a car just that they are much larger components.
