GMC W4500 ISUZU NPR GETTING IT READY TO ROLL AND STOP!

[@WatchWesWork]

Tires still scare me. I was at my local tire shop recently and they pointed out a big round hole in the metal roof. Apparently a wheelbarrow tire blew up and decided to exit the building! That front axle is looking good!

[@faisalchaudhary8760]

You've done a brilliant job sir without cutting corners, thank you for the video to remind us all how to do it properly.

[@greglysne3260]

I like that your wife is always out filming and helping. My wife only helps me fail at my business.

[@YardpigTSI]

If it's not working then stop doing it. That's always been my moto. Sit down with your wife and focus on your job, she can help you, but your refusing to allow her to.

[@anthonymoravec3599]

awesome job, thanks for sharing how you work on these trucks. So much help! and its awesome you work with your wife! Cheers!

I love watching someone that has pride passion and care for there work and you can see that in the way you work, I’m no mechanic but I do my own work and like yourself I like things done right, it bugs me to watch someone doing things wrong so I take my hat off to you sir and I enjoy watching you work, thank you, markUK

[@kwshilts]

The tire listened when the big dog talks. Good advice for all of us.

[@MiamiZombie2012]

Just did this job on my pickup. I found it fun packing the bearings by hands while I smoked a cigar and drank a cold one.

[@dangates2266]

I wasn't aware that you could use the German Torque Spec on an Isuzu! Gootenteight!

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Great video J.C 🙂👍 Those gas shocks are always fun to compress. Lol. Its getting closer!

[@mikeycunningham2307]

That's the way I was taught to pack wheel bearings and it always did fine by me

[@mraycgz]

Yup.

[@tractorboy31]

I just did my front shocks on my 97 f350 recently. I had jackstands on my frame and the jack under the axle so move the axle to get bolts through while shock still banded. My one mounting bolt looked like crap. It looked like either center was ground down a little or rusted down so i got a new bolt for that location. Fun trying to get a hardened metric bolt in the evening while covid going on. Lol. Everyone closing early

[@burningdinosaurs]

Has the foresight of keeping the little plastic thingy on to keep the shock compressed until mounting the lower... backfires when it's on backward, has to compress it by hand anyway lol! Yeah, I know that feeling all too well! I'm also not much of a fan of the bearing packer tools, just don't trust them from what I've seen and still end up messy. Tube of grease never lasts as long as you expect lol! Thanks for the video!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

yep...and to add insult to injury, i put the other shock on the driver side and the bracket for the abs wire was crushed. the bolt punctured the shock. oil went everywhere....i was editing the video and noticed i put the wrong hub on the wrong side (left hand and right hand threads) and had to swap them side to side....it was one of those days for sure!

[@Ezrider359]

great work as always, those rotors almost looked aluminum on camera...lol putting the shock on backwards is defiantly something i would do, we all have those days.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i make plenty of mistakes....it should have been a very cut and dry job but it wasnt. i put the hubs on the wrong sides as well.....to top it all off, i put the abs wire bracket on the driver side. didnt notice the bracket on the shock was crushed....the bolt went right into the shock. oil sprayed everywhere!

[@gregdiaz5788]

nice job jc keep up these Go videos coming

[@MrTruckerf]

I have been fixing and inflating tires for many years. I knew it was dangerous but never had any scary incidents. Then youtube came along and I have seen so many tire explosions that I am honestly afraid to work on them anymore. But I still do, because the last semi flat I had fixed cost $42. I can fix it for a dollar or two plus labor.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i have seen some youtube videos of tire mishaps....you have to wonder if some of it was operator error?

[@GaianUNSTV]

I just bought a similar truck with a dump box! Anything else you have to do on it, videos much appreciated! THX

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i sold that truck shortly after i finished it...sorry!

[@patreynolds7717]

Jc Smith you do good work.

[@chrissterling3225]

I've never seen bearings packed like that..not saying its wrong..just never seen it..i usually hold the bearing flat..large end facing my palm with grease..and press the cage against the grease until it comes out on top..everyone has their own methods. I'm like you..never think to buy a brg packer..those jobs are few and far between..most jobs are oil bath hubs..tho i just did an international front axle with grease 2 days ago and a 14k dump trailer yesterday packing brgs and brake job all the way around on both

[@j.c.smithprojects]

as long as it gets fills with grease, the method doesnt matter to me. it is rare that i pack wheel bearings as well...not that common.

[@luispedro62]

just a note, you put the left hub in the right side.. great video..

[@j.c.smithprojects]

yep. left hand thread on the wrong side.

I always like my wheels secured to my manual tyre machine or the vehicle when I pop the beads on cos I had a side wall blow open like a letter box as the tyre was rotten it turned out to be a snide remold and the steel core was rotten so the 7.50 R16 land rover wheel decided to go into orbit hit me arm on the way up and blew out my right ear drum.

[@markbremmer8642]

That's why there are safety cages to use. So that we don't loose a life or limb when inflating tires.

7 commercials. I love your videos but they get hard to watch when they’re broken up so many commercials. However I suppose you have to make it worth your while. Thanks for your effort!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i dont add any extra commercial ads to the video. that is all done by you tube. i know it gets irritating but just know that the ad revenue that we get from youtube is used to help people that are struggling. over the years it has done a lot of good. that money has filled a lady's propane tank several times, got her firewood over and over, filled a heat oil tank for another, fixed a young lady's car several times and repaired a roof for an elderly couple, paid mortgage payments, paid for prescriptions, paid utility bills and bought food. i know it gets frustrating but look at what it does. by letting the ads run through, you are helping us to help those who cant.

[@makippert]

J.C. SMITH PROJECTS, thanks for taking the time to reply, I kind of figured. Other channels like Watch Wes Work, etc. have the same issue. I wish they would lighten up a little but, it is worth suffering a little for good content, and in your case a worthy cause. Thanks again!
