Dump Truck Maintenance With a Glittery Surprise!

A Little maintenance on the L8000... found a major issue with the trany! #dumptruck

[@snubbelbuff1471]

@22:20 'Seems to shift a little bit easier' ...So it's basically a weight optimization then!

[@BeltechLLC]

probably! lighter weight oil and synthetic lube properties...minus the metal glitter! lol

If there is bearing material in the transmission, changing oil is not going to do much good.

[@BeltechLLC]

@carolinafour8179 didn't know there was chunks until I changed it. It just verified that I need to find a new transmission.

[@rickcole2176]

Looks like synco pins

[@BeltechLLC]

@rickcole2176 that makes sense, if I miss the shift even by a little bit, she won't go, I then have to use the clutch and take a higher gear...

[@aaronabney8924]

At that point pull your pto cover and clean it out

[@BeltechLLC]

@aaronabney8924 I fished around with the magnet quite a bit until I didn't get/ feel any more...

[@richb1128]

And that folks is why we don’t change trans oil. We don’t want to know what’s behind door #1! At least it wasn’t packed with saw dust and oil.

[@BeltechLLC]

@richb1128 lol... that old trick! I'm glad it wasn't saw dust, but not happy it's needed components.

[@carolinafour8179]

Sorry about it.

You need a Milwaukee pump

[@BeltechLLC]

The red might clash with all the yellow! lol I see dewalt has a stick pump... I"ll have to get one!
