You have put a lot of money into that truck! Everything you’ve done yourself has saved thousands of dollars!!! Great Job you’re a true owner operator!!
Got my commercial class 1 license in 1975 took many years to get to drive nice trucks hung it up in 2010 I miss it a lot usually ,a lot of good days some not so good I enjoy your channel stay safe out there dude 👍
Hello Bandit, there is a tool that replaces the nut on the tie rod end so you can strike it, a little bit of pressure up under the steering arm also helps. If no tool then strike the end of the steering arm. But you got it done, so good job.
Whenever you're doing ball joints hit the part that it goes through hard on the side and they'll usually fall through💯💪 Hazel Prickchard doing? give him hell bandit!!! LmmfaO!!!😂
In our shop that pickle fork would have been use for on the campfire. A way bigger hammer and pickle fork would have helped. I was proud of you though no swear words when you hit yourself. Ive done it before and even ended up with a broken thumb. Mechanics is not easy on a persons body at all. Congrats on another Bandit did it video.
Oh for sure but I think it also doesn't help that the truck is sitting on its wheels which I'm sure it's putting some pressure to it also compared to it being jacked up and some pressure is relieved from the suspension
@@OTRBandit hell yeah especially if someone's gonna be bullying u I hate bullies I've been bullied in school because of me being slower learners than others have a good day my friend
You need to add a tool to your kit, a truck-duty torque wrench, so you can tighten critical fasteners to the proper torque. The good old days of 'good-and-tight' are gone. A lot of fasteners are now 'torque-to-yield' specification. I would highly recommend that you have the shop properly torque those drag link ball stud castle nuts, as I'm pretty certain they aren't even close to properly torqued. When torquing castle nights, never back them off to line up with the cotter pin hole. Tighten them to the next opening only. Enjoy the beach!
Good job, tackling this with limited tools💪 But watch out with heating those ball joints. They can explode on you as there is an enclosed air pocket below the ball that can build pressure.
Another awesome video Buddy, learning tricks of the trade watching you repair Big Blue. For whatever reason I’m just glued to ur vids with all the travel and country side you show. Another awesome job. I know ur Vacation is already over but hope you enjoyed it. Still hotter than hell down here. Thank god for A/C’s. Peace ✌️ Buddy………. Prrrrrtttt………..👍🏻
You are real getting good at fixing big blue. Another great video and you were real on a roll talking about Richard mom like that make me laugh till I cried good job! Like to talk about my ex like that can real be a jerk! Well hope your Vacation was a good one never are they long enough. Well be safe till the next one.
Thank you my friend for another of Bandit's Truck Repair, brought to us by Da man himself, Big Blue, Ms Jenny & sponsored by Modelo, Da beer of the hard working driver !! Get R done Buddy. Great video, thanks for showing this and really hope the problem finally gets fixed.. After this I reckon you will have a big ol juicy steak, cauliflower, and of course the sponsor of this video, to wash it all down. Bprrrrttttt..
Hey Bandit nice job on replacing the center link. Yeah need to get a longer hammer handle on the mini sludge hammer. Helps alot with delivering more powerful blows and keeps the hand away from smacking knuckles on truck parts. Take care relaxing and having a nice drink my friend.
@OTRBandit my father watched me smack my knuckles with short handle mini slug hammer and quickly snag that hammer and put in vise knocked out the old short handle and stuck a good 2 foot oak handle in my hammer. Now you can wack something without banging up your knuckles. Nothing hurts worse for days and weeks bleeding knuckles from metal. Takes forever to heal up good. You can buy them from like TSC Tractor Supply company or farm store. Some good hardware stores will have good long handles and swedges. Take care my friend.
Gday Bandit Good job Mate, not easy to do on the street with limited tools but you got it done ! Hope the holiday was good and well deserved Take Care Mate
Thank you very much, buddy. Vacation was very good and much much needed. I met a big group of guys and ladies from Australia and New Zealand, when I was in Panama City Beach.. they are touring the United States in Mustangs
Make sure they are the same length and your steering wheel is straight you could put a piece of rope around the steering wheel and brake paddle and make sure it’s straight then shut the truck off and take it apart. Good luck, buddy.
@@OTRBandit you're very welcome my hell yeah u definitely gotta know what your truck is doing so u can fix it on the side of the hwy if u need 2 have a good day my friend
@@OTRBandit good morning bandit my friend how's it going I'm doing pretty good my wife goes in every early tomorrow morning for a colonoscopy procedure and don't ever let me be a truck driver in real life because I keep wrecking I'm driving a titan 379 but I'm I'm based out of Washington State I can't even make it 2 Oregon or Idaho I can't unlock yet but I wanted 2 c how u are doing I have a good day my friend and we finally got some rain late this morning but we'll take whatever amounts we can the day time temps dropped off like 30-40 degrees in a 24hr time frame please drive safely my friend and a state trooper went flying bye around like 11ish pm PDT my time lol
The right way to do any job is the way that you want to do it and it comes out right. Every time something goes wrong or you get mad you should call it a dirty Richard
I don't believe it happened in this video but it has happened in previous videos. I'm talking about using playback that is 2 times as fast as normal speed. Whether it is scenery or repairing the truck, I like to watch and listen in real time. The rest of the videos are great.
that's actually the preferred method for amplifying torque on the adjustable wrench.. hit the arm the ball joint (tie rod) goes into.. it will jar loose. The pickle fork works but I hate using them... especially if I have to reuse the part.. thet tear up the grease boot.
the difference of 1 side tie rod & the other is 1 is left hand thread, the other is right hand thread. It's OK if you put it on backwards if the joints are straight.. the only problem will be if you have one go bad, and it's backwards, the part you get will need to be the opposite part # or it won't thread in, like Richard's mom
That was fucking awesome saying say hi 2 Richards Mom u said hi lol have a good night my friend bandit other fools outta stop talking there shit about u I got your back buddy
@@OTRBandit good morning bandit and my Monday 2 u as well how r u doing today I'm doing pretty good just at my routine regular doc appt right now u have a good day my friend and please drive safe
You keep putting the purse down but never show the purse. Lol. Sad to tell ya your hammer is not big enough and not enough swing….. lmao glad you didn’t give up.
Yo otr bandit my birthday is on the 17th and Im currently binge watching your videos, I'm obsessed with semis lol and I've learned so much about everything watching your videos and it would be absolutely insane if I could get a shout out my names Marshall by the way my man. Stay safe buddy 🙏
Happy upcoming birthday to you, buddy. And I just gave you a shout out in my video, but it will not be released for probably another two weeks because my videos are usually two weeks behind.
@@OTRBandit you're so very welcome my friend have a good day and please drive safely it's supposed 2 start raining in my area starting tomorrow night into through Thursday afternoon about half an inch of rain and possibly high winds

Definitely a lot of good days and some bad ones unfortunately. But it is what it is, buddy. This is what we chose to do.
"Welcome to my shop, public street"😂 You are a real one, my friend
Best shop there is my friend. Rent free lol

This pickle fork was definitely not made for what I was trying to use it for. Definitely way too small for that.
Oh for sure but I think it also doesn't help that the truck is sitting on its wheels which I'm sure it's putting some pressure to it also compared to it being jacked up and some pressure is relieved from the suspension
Lesson we all learned today.... Don't be a Richard. Great video.
That’s a very good lesson to learn my friend 👍🏻

I’ve been looking at buying one on Amazon last night. I need to buy me one of them real heavy duty ones.
You are like Wilson on the TV show Tool Time. I hear you talking, but I don't think I've ever seen ur face. Keep up the good work Buddy.
Thank you very much buddy 🙏🏼
Good job, tackling this with limited tools💪
But watch out with heating those ball joints. They can explode on you as there is an enclosed air pocket below the ball that can build pressure.
Thank you very much, buddy . Definitely glad that didn’t happen.
Good Luck Driver Anythime u can do ur own Repairs and save money what it takes keep the wheels rolling watching from ky
Thank you so much, buddy. Definitely like working on my truck and saving money at the same time.

Great job Bandit! I’m glad you got it done and I’m glad you keep giving Richard hell. Lol He asked for it 😂 stay safe. Nice F-150!
He's STUPID, he can't help himself.
Thank you very much, Shannon. Richard definitely deserves it.
Hey Bandit nice job on replacing the center link. Yeah need to get a longer hammer handle on the mini sludge hammer. Helps alot with delivering more powerful blows and keeps the hand away from smacking knuckles on truck parts. Take care relaxing and having a nice drink my friend.
the way hes waving that little hammer around i assume hes hands are just a little bit weak cuz i use bigger hammers
I heard Richard’s mom was pretty good at giving powerful blows too!!!!
Thank you very much, buddy. I definitely needed a bigger hammer for this job. I had one home, but I was too lazy to go get it.
I’m a weak little baby.
What can I do, buddy. I’m sorry I’m not as strong as you are.
@OTRBandit my father watched me smack my knuckles with short handle mini slug hammer and quickly snag that hammer and put in vise knocked out the old short handle and stuck a good 2 foot oak handle in my hammer.

Hey richard tell your mom me and the whole team says hello
Have to work in them to keep them running, my friend. Just got doing some transmission work, so I am right there with you, lol.

Take Care Mate
Thank you very much, buddy. Vacation was very good and much much needed. I met a big group of guys and ladies from Australia and New Zealand, when I was in Panama City Beach.. they are touring the United States in Mustangs
It a adjustable wrench... Crescent made many types of hand tools!!!
Thanks for clarifying that for me, buddy 🙏🏼
Yes left an right of an any vehicle is distinguished from sitting in drivers seat!
I really had to Google that just to be sure lol
Make sure they are the same length and your steering wheel is straight you could put a piece of rope around the steering wheel and brake paddle and make sure it’s straight then shut the truck off and take it apart. Good luck, buddy.
Thank you very much, buddy. It was definitely straight while I was driving it to the shop to get that alignment done.
get it done bandit , cool video as always god bless stay safe
Thank you very much, buddy 🙏🏼
Try heating, works wonders good job brah.
Little heat definitely works wonders every time

Good job, my friend .gotter did .safe travels driver 🙏 🇺🇸.
Much appreciated, brother 🙏🏼
You strike it from the side an that will force taper out part of reason it is designed with the tape!
The right way to do any job is the way that you want to do it and it comes out right. Every time something goes wrong or you get mad you should call it a dirty Richard
Most definitely buddy
😮 I'm sorry to see that happen you broke a tool
I’ll definitely get another one that’s bigger than this.
Hate to break it to ya bro but thats a left hand adjustable wrench. Have fun in the sun!
It’s always fun when sun is shining my friend
❤😊
Nice job Buddy
Thank you very much, buddy 🙏🏼
😊 praise the Lord you got it
I don't believe it happened in this video but it has happened in previous videos. I'm talking about using playback that is 2 times as fast as normal speed. Whether it is scenery or repairing the truck, I like to watch and listen in real time. The rest of the videos are great.
The bar has a name it's called centerlink lay then side by side make them both the same light exactly an no money spent at alignment shop!!!
Definitely could’ve done it without alignment
You need a Texas hammer bro not that little kid hammer your going to injure yourself 😂😂😂never give up😊
lol I definitely needed a bigger hammer that’s for sure

🔥🔥🔥 Just do it😂 Good job Buddy!🇺🇸
Didn’t think I was gonna be able to do it, but I got it done at the end thank God.
Count the exposed threads on the ball joint! Easy peazy!
2:45 hit it with that Milwaukee drill😁
If Milwaukee is a lifesaver, my friend
You keep putting the purse down but never show the purse. Lol. Sad to tell ya your hammer is not big enough and not enough swing….. lmao glad you didn’t give up.
Definitely need a bigger hammer for this. But unfortunately, this is all I had in the truck.
Yah sorry ill call 1 of Chicago's finest mobile mexican diesel mechanics, F that lol. Good job.
Definitely not calling anybody unless I really have to. You know how much those guys are ready to rip us off every time.

🤣🤣
Will stay away from her buddy. You guys can have her.
@@OTRBandit We're testing some new penetrating oil🤣
They are hard to change because they are presented in !
I think it would’ve been a lot easier but a bigger hammer.
U could’ve unbolted both sides n knock the at the bar one time then turn the wheels straight n it would fall
That’s the easy way of doing it, buddy. I like to find the hardest way and do it like that 🤣🤣
@@OTRBandit lol nun wrong wit that brother. It was very entertaining
You said the old one was 69 1/4 and you set the new one at 69 3/4
I think I misspoke but I definitely got it right at the end. Because it was riding pretty straight going down the road.
Yu jus need a pickle fork buddy
The one I had was way too small for this job. Definitely need to get a bigger one
I hope no one talk shit. I know you sore from the fifth wheel install still
