เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2014
Just a guy that loves his family and working on trucks. I'll be sharing everything from working on trucks to taking looks at tools that I get. Subscribe if you want to see what life is like when you get to work on "working show trucks" the company I work for only runs 379 Peterbilts with C 15 Cats so don't expect to see emission related content. I'm also on Instagram at repairs_for_oats if you want a better idea of what I work on.

Changing a Drag Link on a Peterbilt 379
มุมมอง 4.9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Today I'll run you through a step by step procedure to changing a drag link on a 379. As far as I know all 379's have the same drag link as long as the truck has a Spicer axle.

Clutch Return Spring 379 Peterbilt
มุมมอง 10K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Changing a clutch return spring on this truck. I don't know why I never thought about the fact that the spring this truck had was different from all our other trucks. Either way it's been updated to the correct spring and fixed.
C15 broken rocker assembly

Just a short little clip of me discovering that my problem of a weak jake brake wasn't with the wiring harness but with the rocker assembly. #cat #peterbilt
Nice job bud I like the way you don't talk for 10 minutes before you even do anything
Excelente
Bought a complete set with the same ratchet and a 1/2 drive impact gun, sockets and short extension and air quick connectors today and can't wait to use them. Glad you liked them and made this video.
Mine just broke lol. It's a 1995 Pete 377 I think it's pretty similar.
Should be almost identical
Take a little piece of firm clear plastic from a blister package, punch a small hole in it, and use it as a shoehorn to keep the ball in place while you shove the pawl in.
That's an awesome idea 💡
Thank you man. Appreciate your help.
Glad it helped you out
Which state do you work in for Hunter truck
I work for an independent fleet that runs all peterbilts.
I have good luck using o ring pick for the bearing the struggle is real
Capri for the win! Thanks for sharing..
Absolutely. Thanks for commenting
Great job...good looking ratchet..a little patience goes a long ways..👍
Thank you! And you're right patience does go a long way.
Geez man I hope this your own truck and not customers no offense. You never never never throw any heat at any steering component. You ruined the strength of the steal. If would have wrapped the sides of the pitman arm a few times and then the bolt, it will eventually pop out. Takes time. Secondly you way over torqued the castle nuts and now there’s another dangerous situation you don’t want with 80k behind you. Yes it’s true a 7/8 but takes 300 foot pounds but those castle nuts are to be torqued to a max of 160 foot pounds. It is clear as day in the spicer and meritor manuals. You just sat there with a impact and rapped and rapped and rapped away. I’ll bet they are 3 times over torqued. Hope you take this as constructive criticism
@shortthrow50 So I'll take it as constructive criticism. I'm curious as to what part of the country you're in because I'm in the northeast where everything is seized from salt and rust. I've always been told to heat those arms if they won't come loose after a couple minutes of sledge hammer work. Matter a fact I've seen a guy bend the arm where the pitman arm hooks into because he didn't use heat. As far as over torquing the castle nut goes I didn't know the torque spec so I'll say thank you for letting me know.
And no safety glasses.
Hey bro the easiest way ive done those springs is with a brake spring tool #LT895 by lock technologies the ones i have are pretty much similar to those literally takes like seconds for both springs theres different sizes for different springs
Lisle tool Co makes good tool to put ON and OFF the rear anchor pin springs the tool part #40030 good vid and love the over head crane
Good video. For the small springs, I use a flat head screwdriver about 1/4-1/2 the diameter of the hole the springs go in to. Catch the bottom hook of the spring with the screwdriver and put the screwdriver in the hole. Slowly guide the spring into the hole using the screwdrivers leverage to stretch the spring. When it gets into the hole, tap it gently with a hammer to seat the spring.. Some may say it's dangerous because occasionally a spring will go flying but it's the same risk with the vice grips.
Finally made it to check it out 👍..good job ..taking the time to locate the fittings for the best access , that's the kind of things I have always tried to do..some guys just slap it together and then you can't grease things..Thanks for the video Buddy..
Thanks for watching!
Repairs for Oats.. Cool video bro. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for watching!
Good looking set ..can't beat the price..hopefully they will last you , low torque use..I suppose the open wouldn't be to tight being it's ratcheting design..I don't have any but surely wouldn't mind having them on hand..Great job 👍 sounds like you already have places in mind for use..
Air lines were definitely my first thought when I saw them.
liked the video but your watching backwards
Thanks for the video helped alot
Glad it helped
I work on a fleet of logtrucks and these people that say snapon isn't worth the money have no idea of the rust and dirt factor and jobs like this will eat cheap tools I've broken matco rachets but the snapon rachet was just wore out when it broke now I work on cars to and you can get by with cheap tools but I'm sure in the rust belt cheap tools won't last
I bought a set of icon torx sockets a few months ago and today I needed the t55 for some caliper bolts and the fitment was so loose I wouldn't try it but my old blue point fit like it should I don't like icon it's just over priced Pittsburgh tools
🇮🇪👍👍💕🥰
That thing is gonna last you a long time, looks a lot like the blue point one just better because yours has the rubber over mold.
Nice job 👍..I have seen air tools at Napa that look very suspicious like some Matco ones I purchased..can say I am guilty of no oil & no grease for years & still going strong air ratchets.
Very nice review 😁👍
Thank you! 😊
Nice set up! Are you able to roll your big box around like a cart too?
Yes I am, it works quite nicely
I just use a thin screwdriver that can bend a little bit. I place the screwdriver through the hook of the spring and the tip of the screwdriver in the hole where the spring goes then push down and the spring will go into the hole take the screwdriver out and then use vice grips or some pliers to put the spring all the way in it will usually be sticking out a little bit
If your repairs are as filthy as your tools, I would not trust them.
I hope you're joking :)
I put my attention more into repairs then I do my tools lol. Thanks for the comment.
^^^anal picky Ronald Johnson. Hes one of "those" people you can never make happy. We dont need people like him or customers like him. Your box and tool cleanliness is great! It's very obvious he doesn't work in our field.
There is an actual prybar with a curve and a tab for putting this type of spring on. When you are putting those 2 springs on, always pull out away from brake slightly to get that spring around the pivot point, then push in. Makes it much easier. Great job otherwise!
I'll definitely look into getting one. Do you know what it's official name is?
Problem with capri right now is that they are out of stock on a lot of things.
If you are the one getting it done, you are doing it right. Keep the good attitude. This profession can wear you down.
Cant i just change it from the inside like under the truck instead of taking air tank off?
@@j8starr Remove the tank is the way to go. Maybe possible another way, but that's what I suggest. Spring is tucked up under the cab above the outside of the frame rail, right behind that tank.
You must be a mechanic your tools looks like they have been used a technician tools is all shiny no fingerprints at all
Lol, they are well used.
I like these boxes I am torn between the 44 or the new 6 drawer box I just work in my garage and have just about everything I will need other than specialty tools and don't need much more room than my 5 drawer cart
I personally prefer the 44 just because of lay out
They seem like solid boxes for the price and yeah I like the layout as well be cool to have two full length drawers but for what I do it's not a deal killer at all and the money I save I can put into good tools funny to see fancy boxes filled with cheap tools
@@fishingmontana1564 for real lol. I've had mine over 2 years now and not one problem
Repairs for Oats.. Nice job. Looks like it could be a pain but didn't look that bad. Just search TH-cam, I'm sure there are a lot videos of different ways of doing it.. Thanks for sharing.
Repairs for Oats.. Nice set up. Thanks for sharing it..
Thanks man!
I'd like to make a suggestion. Get you a cheap harbor freight long pry bar and cut a decent notch in the middle of the tip. Similar to a claw. When you did this style of brakes, it's easier to put the small springs on first, then use that prybar underneath the s cam to hook and pull in the big return spring to its home, then pry up on the shoes and insert the rollers.. it requires a little practice but it's my preferred method for the Eaton style brakes. Regular Bendix brakes, those springs aren't bad and vice grips can be used. Also.... please use jack stands, I wouldn't trust that chain with my life.
I did have Jack stands under the frame further up
Great suggestion I'll definitely do that
At 13:19 you can see the one Jackstand
I do it the way you are talking about amd it does sound odd at the description but it makes more sense once you see some one do it
@@RepairsforOats its obvious he did not watch the entire vdeo lol
Nice set up..looks like your pretty covered on your needs & selection..it's forever growing..👍
Yep it never ends lol
Very nice! Thanks for sharing, awesome setup you have there.
Thanks!
Nice setup thanks for sharing.
Great job 👍..interesting some parts not bad & some a little more challenging..I have seen some of this set up, but got a better understanding now..I am automotive mainly..Thanks..
Good video bro...
Thank you!
Love the video man 🙌🏼
Thanks!
Good stuff, I just subscribed. Keep the videos coming 👍
Thanks! Will do
I didn't see any battery testing, checking s-cams for wear or checking brake throws, clevis pin movement, draining air tanks and for stroke alert etc.. Missed that. And thought that safety checks was part of a routine PM.
The batteries are brand new and I did a lot of off camera work. As far as air tanks go the air dryer keeps them nice and dry. S-cams are generally only checked when changing brakes and I've only ever found 2 s-cams on our trucks that were bad.
Thanks for your concern. And yes safety checks are definitely routine PM. This video was just there for the service part of maintenance.
@@RepairsforOats Maybe because the trucks don't do too much Urban driving and not such heavy work. But we check those items on a PM regardless. And measure brake pad thickness if equipped.
Great video man keep it up.
Will do. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Happy to see someone else who wipes the zerts off whe greasing. Nothing wrong with your pliers. If they work they work. As for your phone holder. Could be worse. For years i used a coffee cup and two 7/8" bolt and a O-ring. Keep them coming.
Nothing worse then having grease all over the place.
Great job! Great video! Checking over your work for leaks ..Thumbs up!
Always gotta check for leaks👍🔥
Loved the video 😃👍
Thank you!
Nice real reaction love it lol.
I wasn't expecting it, that's for sure
👍
