Dido times two

[@SmittysSpareTimeProjects]

I had the service side blow out on me once. I took the service glad hand off, stuck a quarter between the glad hands, and put it back on the trailer. Used the Jake to stop the truck and downshifted all the way to 2 nd gear. Got her home safely. Lol

[@KoonTrucking]

Brandon Smith you are one of the few drivers that has enough sense to do it ! Haha most of my guys would scream send me a tow truck, a rental car, a motel room and some eating money !

[@codysimonson6260]

That's a pretty damn good idea actually with the quarter.

[@candygyrrl2002]

You saved me

[@massivedee1168]

I know this is an old post....but would like to thank you for this video as it helped me get the truck off the TPKE and back to the yard great 👏

[@stuabbott1]

I got trapped behind a truck for 2 hours today blocking the exit of an industrial estate. The air supply had snapped at the joint into the cylinder. .I couldn’t find how to do this at the time. I just found you helpful video thanks. I hope I never need to do it but good to know how it’s done.

[@-rattler]

You guys just saved me about 3hours tonight. Thanks!

[@Vater1]

This just saved my tale and wallet thanks so much!! I couldn’t get the original off of the bolt off the problematic chamber but thank God the trailer had 1 of 4 on it. If it wasn’t for that I’d still be stuck. 😅😅😅

[@KoonTrucking]

That’s awesome ! Glad you were able to get it handled and save a little

[@user-fg5pd7gq7e]

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Great video thanks brother. The socket and wratchet saves the hand to. Padded gloves are good with the wrench help save the hands. Sometimes it feels like it takes forever to get it caged. Thanks again keep up the great work see you in the next video

[@KoonTrucking]

Scott Pearson yeah I just bought a set of those mechanics gloves with the padding on the back. They seemed pretty sweet. I can see how they will save your hands.

[@malkitsandhu6968]

Tried caging the booster, but I couldn’t put it in the hole coz the spring inside was broken, and was in the way. In that case what shall I do to cage this thing. Thanks

[@mike-rn2ue]

Perfect

[@truckinnuttz7038]

How about chambers that do not have cage bolt but has the bolted type chambers? Thanks for the video

[@mattberg6785]

Take the cage bolts off the chambers and put them with your tools. When you need them they are clean and ready. Things don't always break on dry sunny days. Oh, when the rod breaks inside the can that's pretty cool .

[@tamilfire3372]

U helped me

[@nyxline]

Good video

[@mattmcmillan8920]

I like that, I picked this socket up off a tool truck just for this, must have been an M truck.

[@KoonTrucking]

matt mcmillan yes Bill has an M Word cage off socket. I have a Snap On one !

[@richardogarcia34]

Thank u

[@memopat1]

Great video , i have seen guys remove lines fold them and hold them in position with zip ties when there are no vice grips on hand

[@KoonTrucking]

memopat1 we have had to do that in a pinch also when a driver wasn’t prepared and had no tools with him. That’s another thing that I don’t understand. Why not have tools with you ?

[@memopat1]

Koon Trucking My top must have tools ,flashlifght ,hammer,cresent wrench,zip ties,duck tape,flat tip screw driver bare bones must haves. Hey how about video on that ??

[@exportconnections1550]

How do you check to see which one is the actual bad one if there's no air leak? Im getting return air when i apply the brakes or set the brake.

[@Danogil]

I had to change out the biscuits out myself so I always carried a couple with me.

[@jasondelvecchio8720]

Long stroke with square bungs were the air lines go into chamber look like a 36-30 chamber

[@martymc92]

I had the emergency line broke in one left from chamber , the t bolts were so rusted that I was not able to removed them. I used a lot of zip ties to clamp the emergency line so it would not leak. I took the emergency line out of the right chamber connected to the left chamber and unadjusted the brakes all the way up. Then I reconnected the right chamber and I was able to get out of the road. I just drove to the next truck stop and bought a new brake hose , replace it , adjust the brakes and hit the road again.

[@jenseninterceptors]

If you cant cage the pot because the plug has come off and a caging bolt wont engage because of dirt inside there will removing the whole pot work as well?

[@johnclintonmusicandmore]

nice

[@j.c.smithprojects]

my luck is that it fails because of rust. when i try to cage the spring brake the can crushes in on itself....oh the fun of trucks that run in the beautiful ohio road salt!

[@KoonTrucking]

J.C. SMITH PROJECTS thankfully most of our trucks and trailers stay In the south ! Haha

[@blee0518]

How long can someone ride on a patch like this? about how many miles is safe?

[@cgosier36]

How far can I drive like this?

[@Courtbeasy]

What if the brake can came off the brake chamber what do you do

[@icemonk12]

That was a great video👍

[@KoonTrucking]

Lone Star Auto thank you ! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment

[@freebir73]

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. 👍👍👍👍

[@mattberg6785]

Always carry some tie wire too. Way more durable than zippies

[@brianbell6158]

Must be very nice weather were you are cause up here in Canada you would never get the cage bolt out with the salt, snow, mud and ice it locks the bolt in the pot tighter then a nuns corset you would bust the pot before you would ever get the bolt out with a hammer it's funny what steel and aluminum does together

[@KoonTrucking]

brian bell yes we don’t have ice and salt thankfully !!

[@fivestar000]

The cap on the break chamber should it alway be kept plugged in? Or it can just hang lose ?

[@KoonTrucking]

Pretty sure i just answered your question on another comment you left

[@anicetotrujillo6721]

Question do you have to do both chambers ? Are just one to move the trailer

[@Texasmarshall24]

Just the one that's locked up

[@trubz360]

So once I cage the brake chamber do I need to unadjusted the slack adjuster to get the brake pads off the drum

[@KoonTrucking]

Back your brakes off first

[@trubz360]

Take a look through my playlists and check out all the truck fixing videos we have. It can save you a ton of money. There’s many more on the way, just got to find the time to put them together and get them uploaded

[@zephyteh2628]

What if the caging bolt doesn't.turn .. after you put it in?

[@KoonTrucking]

Thank you Allah I haven’t ever seen that ? If you line the T portion of the caging bolt up and give it a quarter turn it should pull the spring back inside it ? I’ve never had one that was froze up ? I guess it’s possible the spring could be bad or broken if so you would need to change the entire chamber out with a new one.

[@zephyteh2628]

Koon Trucking without caging it?

[@forkliftmatt6683]

Just deadjust breaks more fun that way hahahahah

[@KoonTrucking]

Hopefully this can save someone a tow bill or a service call and they can get it to a shop and save some money !

[@madamlastrange5605]

What causes the brake chambers to blow out ?

[@KoonTrucking]

Usually diaphragm fails or spring failure

[@chrischiampo8106]

😎😀👍🏼

[@gregorabaileyein4685]

Like what driver going to have that screw

[@KoonTrucking]

They are in the side of the brake chamber unless someone takes them out

[@mothernature6241]

How far can I go using this technique?

[@KoonTrucking]

Honestly until the DOT catches you and shuts you down.

[@mothernature6241]

Ok

[@artemwashere6103]

I couldn’t do it, there is an angle and I can’t push it in all the way.... sad....

Same thing is happening to me right now because breaks are locked i guess i dont know what to do in this case

Emergency repairs should not be shown on a bench because we don't have emergency repairs that we do on a bench

[@KoonTrucking]

You realize we have to film to show how it’s done right? You realize how hard it is to get the camera and lighting needed to film right? So sorry this disappointed you for the “realistic effect” but we are teaching the proper and safe way to do the repair. Just film yourself doing one on the side of the road the next time it happens but make sure it’s clear so people don’t complain about it and send me the link and I can take this one down 🙄
