2007 Kenworth t600

[@kepamurray1845]

My father had a truck frame straightened about 45 years ago. I know that old R-series MACK is still hauling logs out of some pretty rough country. So there is some more proof it is safe in the long term.

[@Ezrider359]

nice work. not a lot of people still doing this kind of work. new trucks are junk anyway always worth saving a older truck when possible imo.

[@mobilegameclips5628]

The irony being in 2007 this was a “piece of junk new truck” not like they used to make ‘em in the 80s!

[@billyomdahl7870]

😂😂😂😂

[@sulphurPete]

Everyone is commenting.."Extremely satisfying to watch Brendon at work:. No other You tube channel is this interesting..lol.. Thank you Brendon! You rock!

[@NickLandsberg780]

Your personality and knowledge are unmatched. Keep up the good work and love the pointer.

[@rbc5878]

You’re on your way to a million!

[@raccoonjesus1305]

Hell yeah i can watch this all day. It’s like being at work but without broken things and customers calling every 15 minutes.

[@Charlie-op4vl]

Yes worth it

[@nerfmadeeasy]

Your explanation regarding relieving stress & fiber realignment was remarkably clear. Great, consise explanation of what you're doing when straightening frames.

[@domthomas1002]

First of all, I am not a master of re-bending like you. But, I know this. Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something else. Keep'em comin.

[@4886-Electrical-Lead]

You are one of the rare channels, one of the rare ones who are sooo underrated, I genuinely expected to see 100-500K subs and saw 7K, I was surprised. Keep on goin’ and you’ll see the light of stardom.

[@1nm1]

You were right, he now is up to 140k subscribers!!! 🙂

[@louissmith7717]

This guy is truly gifted and blessed with exceptional talent and skill.

[@beekeeper8474]

My old man would have loved this channel.

[@lance_WatchThis1]

Love this guy, wish i could have the pleasure of working alongside someone like this man.

[@MixedGoku]

I think you did an absolutely fantastic job and I wouldn't throw it away

[@romandybala]

Great videos. You have the style to have a TV show. I know not a lot of people are interested in seeing how the real world works. I would enjoy being in your shop to watch you work but I know my many questions would hold up your work. My dad used to do this at home on a much smaller scale. Car wheels, bumpers, bicycle frames , bent hinges. I learned a lot from watching and apply it in my work at home. Thanks heaps. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.

[@tcurlyleethompson1424]

It was worth the repair. I drove & repaired trucks for 36 yrs. drove many trucks that had frames straighted & never had any problems& had been inspected many times & always passed.

[@donniebagwell9536]

Hat's off to you, you are definitely a master of your craft,,,hardly anyone can even do this anymore

[@chrismatheson1658]

Nice work. You’re doing a great job on the channel too! Keeping it clean so my son can watch with me!

[@whathappened2230]

Another job well done! Thanks for showing us!

[@Airisweetheart]

Just wanted to leave a comment to help your visibility. Very entertaining and I love your work. Hope you get paid well I'm sure learning all that didn't come easy, or quick.

[@billyost1479]

Worth the fix, when tractors today are almost as much as a home.

[@richardmondor1360]

Looks like you've done that a few times before.....lol. Nice work Sir!!

[@bendinwithbendon]

A few lol 😂

[@Flyinghook]

Like you said, there are standards and tolerances. As long as it's straight and not compromised, I'd run it. People are too quick to throw things away these days. When I'm done with something ib try to find someone who can use it instead of just chucking it in the bin

[@kevinrudisill6129]

This man knows his stuff

[@UOIGET]

Hard work that very few do now a days, your work is very clean good job sir…

[@davechalmers6309]

I worked in the Oil and Gas industry and the truck I drove (late 90s Western Star) was pulling such a heavy load (fixed load) that every 12 to 18 months we had to have the frame straightened as it would develop a slight twist from normal operation. I could tell it was getting close because the bumper would almost be touching to hood on one side.

[@Poorexampeofhuman]

I've had frame rails straightened before, only once did I feel that it wasn't going to be as strong as it originally was, so I just added a little bit of strengthening to it. Chasing I welded up some gusseting and it's an extra plate and well ended up better than it was before I bought it.

[@isaiahkane9282]

Subbed forever. This channel is gunna be great. Keep up the GREAT content ‼️

[@badgerpa9]

Nice job straitening that. Glad you are on youtube I do not do tik tok sounds like it will explode my phone. Be safe Sir.

[@catfish7774]

I enjoy watching your videos thanks for the videos they're awesome to watch thanks again brother bendin and bendon God bless

[@stevet8055]

Genuine skill and knowledge of materials amazing work

[@petemclean1352]

I came to the channel because of the shorts. And I'm glad to see you do longer video's as well. Subscribed ! Entertaining, and very informative. You sir, are a master of your trade.

[@eVamlite]

Thanks for letting folks know. Majority of bent frames are fixable.

[@northmanlogging2769]

2 years ago I broke the frame on one of my trucks, nothing bent just stress cracks (its a self loader so lots of focused stress on one area) anyway after a bit of panicking, talked to a buddy, turns out every one of his trucks has been shortened or extended in one way or another, finding a truck on the used market that hasn't had some form of serious frame repair is near impossible... anyhow bout 60 hours of labor later, frame sectioned, welded and sleaved, with a lot better cross members and bolt pattern then previously... better then ever.

[@imjamesiam]

Just found this channel. Entertaining and informative. Keep it up

[@bendinwithbendon]

Thank you. Glad your here

[@ghostbuilder3187]

This dude about to blowup “We’re bending”

Sir William Bender, great clip😎😎😎😎😎💪💪💪💪💪

[@joelbrown3479]

Love the job-specific tools, make what you need to get the job done... PRICELESS, Sir William Bendalot😎😎😎

[@gertsky]

loving the videos. I just started driving larger trucks, im a fan of fixing it if its worth it. Good job sir keep doing what you do maybe my generation can learn something from you and realize things can be fixed instead of being thrown away. I see twisted trucks come thru work all the time, its quite funny what people will run with it being twisted to you know what. cheers Bendon keep bendin

[@nou8257]

The big c clamp is a beast

[@jakestabile7027]

You have all sorts of cool bending tools !

[@robbobcat7286]

Use to own a big Chief frame machine back in the 80s. Only worked on cars and pickups but stills lots of Bull work

[@scottdrenske830]

Love to be fly on this guys wall. All the things you could learn. So cool.

[@MsCatcatcat]

Damm that’s sick. I done 100+ air springs with bent ass angles keep it up fix them all

[@paultro8457]

Well worth the work in my opinion. 👍👍

[@TheFrancogt1]

Hey just found your Channel . Keep up the good work the explaining on the frame stuff is great . Cheers you got a fan here

[@JRo250]

Good work. Would it help if you welded a solid brace to the inner side of where the bend was? Not sure if it's necessary but if that point where it bent is weaker now, a brace might help. Assuming, of course, it doesn't interfere with operation.

[@janb.2025]

By welding something on a thick metal frame, you weaken the metal and also it will bend due to the heat of the welding. That's why they use screws.

[@holmes1956O]

The frame is no weaker than when it was made. Consider this the frame started out as a flat piece of steel. Then the company that made the frame bent that steel into the c channel shape of the frame. Did that weaken it. No it did not

[@mattmurdock4336]

Came for the bendin, stayed for the Benden

[@riverflyswatter]

Talented man and can make you laugh. Hollywood is way overpriced.

[@josephdunham9067]

A 2022 Kenworth W990 dump truck with the small engine and a drop axle is 272k rn for commenters reference just brought one back from Baltimore. (Half the coal trucks we have have had their frames straightened once or twice, they fall over alot 😂)

Awesome video can you do one on plating a frame

[@mikemurray7572]

Awesome content bro! Really enjoy the show.

Nice job. Keep up the great work.

[@winch1587]

I don't know much about frame work, but have a question. When do you use heat or why don't you use it?

[@alenribic3932]

You do amazing work.. where are you located because I have a w9 I would just like to bring for a alignment

Do you use a type of level or anythinf to see if you strait

[@terry4986]

Definitely worth a fix

[@12345678989814]

I can imagine that there are some people that say they can straighten frames and I imagine there's people that have drove those trucks that supposedly the frames have been straightened out so they've had ridiculous experiences but I'll tell you if this guy straightens a frame right here you can guarantee that it's straight and if they really know what they're doing like he does it's going to be just as good if not better than what it was before the there's a difference between somebody that says they're a frame straightener and somebody that can actually do the job the right way and put it back exactly how it's supposed to

[@josebecerra1681]

With this videos people. Appreciate more our work. Cause there is no instructions or guides of how to. Actually we use our brains to know where and how either pull or push. Point down or up. And yes we do design our own hooks for special purposes

[@bondobilly9369]

At what point is it cheaper just to slide in new frame rails?

[@Cragified]

First availability. Older the truck harder to get two matching rails (Even the same model of truck can have variance that's a few inches which means you'll have to stretch a rail. Second is man hours. It's a lot of man hours to unbolt everything from the frame and put it on a new one. Steel is very elastic and ductile. The main reason this isn't so common anymore, especially on passenger vehicles is first unibodies are way more complicated to straighten then a ladder frame. And second it takes someone that has spent a long time getting the wisdom of the science and art of pushing steel back into shape without going too far. Can't just read off a service manual how to do this stuff.

[@ReapThySorrow]

Worth it. 100%

[@flyrock45]

Any Pre Emission truck deserves a 2nd chance at service life IMO.

[@junicohen7918]

That stuff is becoming gold now

Looks better than alot I've seen

Great work , thanks for posting

[@PatrickBaptist]

Sir I wanna ask a personal question and I'm not trying to be rude or mean, but do you have that condition where you never lost your baby teeth? Just curious because they seem smaller than adult teeth, I work with someone that has that condition, can't remember what it's called though, but anyways just wonderin. Love watchin your videos, good stuff.

[@shaneatl]

Please please tell me when a new customer comes in you walk around their rig with that pointer pointin shit out

[@buddyroo67]

I'd like to find a good frame ma near me to work on a 1972 Ford f350 wrecker to straighten I'm in south Carolina any ideas.

[@aaronberger6399]

How hard is it to replace 1 frame rail?

[@samthesr20man]

Hard. Way more trouble than it's worth.

[@karlrobbers]

@@samthesr20manIt's not too bad on a bolted chassis, but the thought of doing a riveted or huck bolted chassis doesn't thrill me.

[@GKRTANKLINESLLC.]

Straighten and roll with it, especially a KW-T600

[@bigbossimmotal]

This is like watching Leonardo DaVinci paint the Mona Lisa. Makes me wanna go bend something so he can fix it.

[@garyradtke3252]

For those people that won't have a truck with a straightened frame. How do you think the frame got manufactured in the first place? Just like any other kind of repair, it depends on the shop and mechanics doing the work.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Torn "frame horns" is a common problem in the intermodal world. So I like the "Schneider Bob" That's where the frame rail ends square at the last cross member. Schneider does this on their container trucks.5thwheel height plays a roll in that We got some 2018 T880s that have 18" of frame behind the rear axle. Why KW why what purpose does that serve? 5th wheel can't slide forward of neutral(tandem centerline) so your frontend is light and I've seen the KWs have 43000 + in the box. And the frontend be 1000 lbs lighter loaded than empty. If I owned my own truck I'd Schneider Bob ever one.
