    I had a 10 wheel dump truck in the late 90's - early 2000's that had 11R22.5 tires on it with the steel Budd wheels just like this truck you're working on. The difference being that I was regularly running it with 35 ton gross weight (which was allowed in NJ with special plates).......and it would do exactly this at least 3-4 times a year. I even switched all 8 rear wheels to the heavy duty steel Budd wheel.....and it would still do it on a regular basis. It just became a regular check that was part of the pre-trip and pretty much every time I was out of the truck before I got back in it.....kick all the inner tires to see if there was any anomalies. As soon as I heard the noise at the beginning of the video I knew exactly what was wrong!!! LOL

    • @calholli
      @calholli ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I think it just comes from going over a bad rail road track or a pot hole or man hole or even a rock, in your daily route; for that moment, you put all the weight on that one tire with a sudden jolt as you hit the bump; That's the only thing I can think of. Maybe it's the brakes coming on way too strong -- and that sudden STOP in the hub, while the wheel is still rolling with all that weight and traction; The wheel diameter is just too big and has too much leverage for that amount of weight. Just thinking out loud. It's kind of strange to see that it happens so often. Maybe it's just the metallurgy is too brittle or that it work hardens. It's interesting; I wish someone could explain the exact science of what is happening. I guess they should just build them thicker. lol

      I wonder if this is why a lot of heavy duty trucks used to have spoke, AKA "dayton" wheels instead of budd wheels. Though it seems that modern heavy duty trucks always come with budd wheels. Sometimes I see a more modern looking truck with spoke wheels, though that is pretty rare. In the past, even in places like Europe and the former soviet union, the heavy duty trucks frequently had spoke wheels.

    Have seen this on dumps, rollbacks, mail carriers and garbage trucks as well. Salt. Salt from the road goes to directly the drum/wheel mating surface, continues its amazing freeze and thaw cycle from how hot the drum gets from continuous daily operation. Rust jacking is amazing in the salt belts of this country. I would be willing to bet that the salt itself being spread does a far greater amount of economic damage than anything coming from the sky.

    • @petesmitt
      @petesmitt ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Here's some facts from the EPA;
      'Rock salt is very effective at melting snow and ice and is considered to be pretty cheap. But rock salt's low cost does not include the potential damage to property, infrastructure, or the environment. Though seemingly harmless to us, rock salt can have corrosive effects in large quantities that affects cars, trucks, bridges, and roads resulting in approximately $5 billion dollars in annual repairs in the U.S. alone. In addition, road salt can also infiltrate nearby surface and ground waters and can contaminate drinking water reservoirs and wells. High sodium levels in drinking water affect people with high blood pressure, and high chloride levels in surface waters are toxic to some fish, bugs, and amphibians. Furthermore, excess road salt accumulates on roadside areas killing roadside plants and harming wildlife that eat the salt crystals. Salty roads also attract animals like deer and moose (who love licking up the salt), increasing the probability of accidents and roadkill.'

      I hate the stuff and what it does to my cars, but a few years ago I got caught out in a major ice storm that the plows never got a chance to spread any salt, so every road was totally iced over. I had my Suburban in 4-Hi and never managed to get much above 25mph, people were either just stranded in the road or on the side of the road or in the ditch. At one point coming down a hill on a 4-lane highway, a guy in a minivan spun sideways and blocked both lanes. I tried to stop but just started sliding so I aimed for the grass median to go around him, then floored it to try to crawl back onto the highway. I still don't know how that thing pulled itself back onto the road, but I made it home. That 30 minute drive took almost 2 hours. Unfortunately, we need the salt.

    Wes, you probably will not have to change many truck sized wheel studs, but you can use "big Nasty" to easily drive the studs out if you use a piece of pipe (can even be just PVC) big enough inside diameter for the driver end to fit through and just long enough to account for the hammer stroke length. Slip the pipe over the wheel stud and hold it in place with a gloved hand and set the hammer end of Big Nasty on the end of the stud. The pipe is the guide to keep the hammer in place. This technique can be adapted to most sizes of wheel studs and hammers.

      Chru- Did it look like it got hot to you? Was wondering if the crack was caused by rapid extreme temperature change or solely caused by weight/ impact from the road. Cheers!

  • @Potoum
    @Potoum ปีที่แล้ว +4

    My guess on the broken rim is because garbage truck do a lot of start and go, and on steep incline(full weight).
    I might add that being on the passenger side, it could mean that truck goes a lot on the side of the road where it finish and meet the gravel.
    Brake heavily while one wheel is totally off the road 'free spinning' and only the broken one was actually experiencing all the work/force.

    Good job Wes my experience on inner wheel crack is overload. Once they crack they flex and you get what you have. I ran into this issue on refuse trucks like you had. Think as you said to much yardage for light truck.

  • @wssides
    @wssides ปีที่แล้ว +3

    An easier to store alternative to the seldom used wheel dolly is a sheet of safety glass- like the rear window from a truck. Doesn't matter if is cracked. Can even use it on the gravel parking lot on top a piece of plywood. Grease or oil makes it slippery so the wheel assembly slides reasonably well. I've made do with a greased garage floor. (I weighed 125 lb then)

    Definitely a interesting video Wes! Those new white rims sure are a contrast to the rest of the truck! Trash trucks have a very tough life with all the constant starting, stopping, and rough roads, any wonder they hold up as long as they do.

    • @lolatmyage
      @lolatmyage ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Curbs as well in the city, often some entrances into parking lots and yards are not designed to be easily used by trucks and the guys just want to get the work done and go home, so inevitably they jump a few curbs here and there

    • @scotcoon1186
      @scotcoon1186 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And overloading. That truck probably only has enough gvwr for a couple ton of trash.

    • @pauldiesel4582
      @pauldiesel4582 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@scotcoon1186 I agree! Probably a combination of overloading and bad roads fatigued the rim to failure.

  • @Farm_fab

    Wes, now you have wheels for a fire pit. That's certainly a strange one on the broken wheel. I had an old Scout that was in for inspection, and on the way home from work the following day, my wheel passed me on the highway. They claimed that the loose wheel wasn't their fault. I actually put it in 4 wheel drive to pull it off the road, and the next day got another drum at the junkyard, and put it back together again.i never had that problem before with drums, but I didn't go back to that inspection shop anymore. I just didn't trust them.

    • @robertheinkel6225
      @robertheinkel6225 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ever watch Letos Law. In MI, a customer had his tires rotated, and they didn’t tighten the lugs. Wheel fell off and major injuries occurred. Customer tried to sue. The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the fact they started the job, constitutes completion of the job. The customer received nothing from the courts, since the dealer was not found at fault.

    I’m kind of surprised you didn’t take off the wheels from the other side just to inspect them and make sure the same thing isn’t happening on the other side. I doubt it would be. But it would put my mind at rest to have a look.

      I find that ether (starting fluid) works the best and I don't think WD40 (is that what you meant?) has the volatility to work, at all. And who's to say what is right? The ether trick can really save your bacon if you're miles away from civilization or a workshop.
