dude this is my favorite youtube channel helped me so much fix my truck as well as learn stuff that i will probably need in future as i have same truck
I really appreciate your videos and I love the way you explain things I just hope you could continue sharing your knowledge with us it really helps us out. Count Me In to contribute to your Channel
Gordon's Work is BETTER than most truckstop shops.....he used to be an auto mechanic. I started doing my own work too because of the Subpar mechanics that don't seem to care.
This has the same set up as most uptodate Scania P-series tippers and some R-series units. The onyone i have come across that is diffrent is a Mercedes actros. Amazing video though and brilliant knowledge and tips. 🖒🛠 Scottish heavy goods tech. #LoveTheLorry
Torque spec depends on spindle nut setup. Not torquing to correct spec could lead to premature wheel seal failure and possible bearing and spindle damage.
After watching this I finally understand the S cams and slack adjusters in my bus. Now I'm wondering if the red gear lube in the differential is what should be in there. Rockwell differential.
I'm not the one to ask about that. When I have doubts about what kind of oil I call the dealer. If it doesn't have any fiber rings or clutches, I would guess it's ok to use regular gear lube.
Does anyone know to change the s cam on Volvo 05 tractor rear drive axle do I need to remove the hub? Or I am be able to remove the s cam with the hub in place? Thanks
I always enjoy these videos about HD trucks because the sum of my knowledge is from watching these. Is the liquid actually oil or is it liquefied grease?
See the center of that cap that Gordon's removing @ 6:36 ? That's a rubber plug that just pops out and you pour or pump some oil in. The area surrounding the plug is a clear plastic that (when new) allows you to visually check the oil level, but they fog up over time and then it becomes easier to pull the plug to check the level.
Only local, no highway logs, just a daily local sheet, no scales except once a year they set up portables. I can go OTR if there's not enough local and I will need to do regular logs.
What size socket did you use to get the hub assembly off? I don't believe you brought that up. My hub seal is leaking on the front passenger. Oil all over the brakes you know the deal. Gotta get around to fixing that. Thanks.
I don't know, I have several axle nut sockets. You just need to measure the nut and buy a socket from the dealer or Truck Pro or maybe the dealer can tell you what sizes they are on your truck. There are 2 different size nuts in there so you need 2 sockets. I did a new job like that recently but don't have the videos up yet, watch for them soon, maybe this weekend.
@@57bagre Figured I was going to have to do that. Anyways hopefully one of those places has the sockets in stock. I'm not particular to ordering stuff. Thanks for the info. I think I put too much oil in the hub this time. Heard when they get hot the oil has to come out somewhere. Maybe the bearings are going bad, will see.
Enjoy all your videos Mr. Robertson. Even if you don't do it the way it says in the book it still gets done. Had a question: When you loosened the slack adjuster it made that creaking noise. I have and issue where one makes that noise and the other doesn't. Is the one that doesn't bad?
That adjuster that made the noise was a different style, it has a tight reverse ratcheting without lifting a locking pawl like on the more common slacks. It reminds me of the star wheel on auto adjust drum brakes on the older cars and light trucks with hydraulic drum brakes. I have several videos on adjusting brakes on big trucks in my playlist of truck repair, go to my home page and then playlists to find it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
On larger fasteners the "specs" are usually not that critical, now on head bolts or a part with a gasket that has a "crush" factor, or just several fasteners on that part it is important that the torque be pretty close to the same on all of those fasteners on that part, more so than the exact foot pounds. As for how I estimate, I handle a lot of "known measured weights" and can safely guess what something weighs in my hands, so to guess how much pressure I am applying is easy for me, I'm sure I guessed within 10% - 15% which is fine for this job. Good subject for a video some day.
The vast majority of drivers don't do their own repairs, So they take it too a shop and pay too have the work done. You will never learn anything if somebody else does the work for you.

Thank you.
keep the good stuff coming Mr. Gordon
Thanks for watching.
Hey Gordon, You should really check out the Extreme Cam kits - these are awesome for replacing the S-cam and Bushing for trailers.
Is this Johnny Cash? Sounds like Cash 🤠 🍻
You may be a driver but you know a heck of a lot more than most. Not sure I'll ever do it but fun to watch.

This trucker is amazing
Thanks for the helpful video as I am studying for my CDL test, trying to understand how s cam brakes work.
Good luck in your career and be safe out there. Thanks for watching.
How do u know when u need to replace the s cam ?
That torque check is pretty clever.
Torque spec depends on spindle nut setup. Not torquing to correct spec could lead to premature wheel seal failure and possible bearing and spindle damage.
Its great you captured you work in video. It helps alot of people who’s wants to learn including me . Thanks
Great video.
Thanks.

I think you do fine work
Thanks Walt.
Learn as you go its how I find things go, I'm not a licensed mechanic but I've done enough wrench pulling.
Thanks for watching.
good work
Thanks for watching.

Gear oil.
Thanks how do you get in in?

Hey Gordon, Do you just run short haul Inner state ? If so do you have to keep a log book ? Do you have a scale you drive by ?
Only local, no highway logs, just a daily local sheet, no scales except once a year they set up portables. I can go OTR if there's not enough local and I will need to do regular logs.
Which impact gun is that
That a Boy Gordon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

make sure you torque correct and use jackstands
No one knows everything & anyone that claims to is just a liar:)
A lot of truck drivers do, just ask them.
Democrats certainly do.

I’m always surprised when I see oil come out. Everything I’ve ever touched has grease.
How did you know when s cam shaft goes bad
When it has obvious side play when you are changing the brakes and when grease is getting in the brakes.
Good night
How do you estimate torque specs lol

Sound bought write 40 to 50 ft lbs torke
thanks.
FIRST 😎😎😎😎😎
U should use a dolly so it easier ill load a video next time i do a brake job i was thought work smater not harder
For what? the drum? that would take too long and too awkward to set up, the drum's not that heavy.
gabino tinajero always work smater
