Thanks Larry. This and the last video with the bearings were very interesting. Always been a tool guy. Worked on lots of big machinery, however not trucks or trailers. Really like these kinds of videos. What I don't understand is why people will "dislike" this kind of stuff.

[@LongHaulLarry]

Thanks, yeah I’m not really sure about the thumb downer people. I just think it’s all my ex-wife😁

[@shoey64]

Hey Larry, u r Actually a very good teacher. U remind me of my late grandfather who new just about everything. He was the best God rest his soul. Your friend 👟 Shoey 👟

[@LongHaulLarry]

Mr Larry you are the man the only thing missing is Mr John the pole dancer helping you out 😆😆😆 enjoyed the video be safe and God bless you and say hello to your dad go your dad for me

[@kirktitgen6395]

Actually, the pole dancer will be a nuisance in this case. He will be bothering Larry with requests for drilling holes in plywood :)

[@LongHaulLarry]

Waylon as much as you try getting John out there to help me is just not gonna happen LOL

Hey Larry as a truck mechanic apprentice I like the part about the bracket I've seen the installed wrong before and I've been questioned about it and I've always explained it like you have

Pretty slick Larry. I have fought many before. Boss man did you right with those kits. 🙂👍

Nice job as usual, Larry!! I hope your finger feels better. Thanks for sharing.

If you happen to get in a certain someones Volvo, You may want to leave a souvenir (Johnny JR) under the covers in the bunk... I can almost hear him saying... "Holy Smokies, What is this??"

[@leterfly]

Nice job Larry again👍👍👍you work like me but I lay on cardboard 😄

[@LongHaulLarry]

But then the cardboard gets wet😁

[@doctorxrayzulu]

You should get some sponsorship from the manufacturer of that kit; that is a better job of marketing the product than anyone could create. At least you should put out word that you are willing to try out and review truck and trailer related products. As always I enjoy someone else working and explaining what they are doing. I've never worked on something that large, but appreciate the skill and knowledge. I would bet truck/trailer mechanics watch your channel. So many people on You Tube don't know what they are talking about. You have knowledge based on practical working knowledge. Been having some real wide swings in temperature and weather down here in Central Texas. Tell more stories! I saw the orange cat in your videos. You might think about getting some of these big rubber stall pads used with some livestock to lay down when you are working; they interlock and would help insulate you from the cold and the dirt. They are made from recycled tires and are available at most ranch supply stores.✔👍

[@LongHaulLarry]

I get contacted by companies all the time but I don’t really like that idea because they want you to sign contracts on what you’re going to say and such. I like to be able to speak my mind. I’m thinking about working with a company when I overhaul my own truck though, it’s a company I have dealt with in the past and they are very good at what they do

[@artj7676]

Another great video Larry! Teaching a lot of people a lot of new tricks. Enjoy watching you fix stuff!

[@LongHaulLarry]

[@LongHaulLarry]

He really doesn’t work on stuff, he is not really that mechanically inclined I guess I would say

[@kens.3729]

The Mechanic’s Job is Never Done! Too Bad whoever did the recent Brake job did it halfway. How Dangerous! :-(

[@LongHaulLarry]

It was a sad break job, I told the boss never take anything back there again

[@SteveCLynch]

I wish the s-cam tubes on my fleet came out that easy...

[@PtakJack]

Any tips on getting the s cam tube removed when it is frozen in the spider? I ended up taking off the wheels to get it removed.

[@dalejensen5828]

A real talent. With your own tools, rudimentary facility, you are much more valuable to ADL as a mechanic vs. driving. What do you like better, or I bet its nice to have a change op pace in your work.

[@LongHaulLarry]

I like both but I can make more money driving

[@johnnyfair]

I remember pounding those nylon bushings in back in the 90s. I wonder how many miles that trailer has on those s cams??

[@LongHaulLarry]

Not sure I’m thinking quite a bit it needed it

Hey Larry, I'm really enjoying your channel, I found you through Johns channel and I kinda lost interest in his channel cos there's only so many windows you can see washed and I don't do the god thing but I wish him well, I'm lovin the wrenching vids, take care man.

[@LongHaulLarry]

Thanks

[@marcuschupp2187]

I am wondering what you think of the grease-less S-cam bushings that are advertised in some of the trucking magazines.

[@LongHaulLarry]

Never seen one I would think with all the grease it’s going to wear can’t stop it

[@retireddriver16]

Cool 😎 Mr Chicken Man lol 😂 Peace ✌️

[@LongHaulLarry]

[@redstickrowdy]

That is really neat Larry! I never knew how semi trailer brakes worked. I was behind a semi the other day and his trailer brakes kept locking up. Seemed like the lightest braking would cause his wheels to lock up. What do you think was causing that? It kind of freaked me out because I thought he was having to brake real hard because of traffic.

[@midnightrider1521]

You may have been behind an Owner/Operator that did not own the trailer and was applying the trailer brakes to save wear on the tractor brakes.

[@LongHaulLarry]

If he was empty and you apply the brakes they will lock up specially if he didn’t have ABS on the trailer

[@beamer8083]

👍👍

[@LongHaulLarry]

Thanks

[@heytasker]

I need to replace a tube, I'm guessing it's going to take me longer than 20min after brakes are off...lol

[@ronzo9377]

Even though that brake adjustment was easy for you if you took it to the dealer he probably still charge you five hours at a hundred and a quarter an hour

[@LongHaulLarry]

Probably

[@anthonygriffo5338]

My father never ever did a halfway brake job. Bossman cant rely on anyone I am sure he is getting g his money back for shoddy work none of my business though. Guess bossman getting you to fix up the fleet he can trust your work. Shame that JBG dont want to help you or Johnnie the chicken dont know how to fix trucks. Good learnings Ty

[@PtakJack]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get the s cam tube removed when it is completely frozen into the hub? I couldn't get it out for nothing ended up taking off the wheels so I could cut it off.

[@sciontc4u2nv]

What's the part number for the s cam?

[@LongHaulLarry]

S-cam left- s-24636-1L S-cam right- s-24636-1R Service kit cam tube 16.5- s-28890 Those are the numbers for our utility trailers

[@matthewrobinson3569]

Pretty soon all adl drivers will be laying out in the cold on frozen ground working on worn out tractors and trailers what kind of home time is that.......

[@keepupwithspeedy]

why don't pickup trucks and such have air breaks instead of hydraulic? I think i spelled that right

[@midnightrider1521]

It would be too costly and not necessary. Air BRAKES require an air compressor and air dryer also.

[@keepupwithspeedy]

i see. interesting thank you

[@keepupwithspeedy]

i wonder if it would be possible to convert a pickup to air breaks if one really wanted to. and if he did, would their be a significant difference? just curious. one day I would like to convert a pickup truck into a mini big rig. so no you see whrer I am going with that. keep it authentic.

[@midnightrider1521]

Anything is possible if you have deep pockets, ingenuity and engineering expertise. In addition to the compressor and dryer, you would need the individual wheel cylinders, S-cams to actuate the brake shoes, air lines, and brackets to mount those items. They would probably have to be custom made and have to be engineered for a vehicle that weighs much less than a tractor trailer. Good Luck!!

[@keepupwithspeedy]

hmmmm. maybe i'd just make it seem like air breaks. sounds much cheaper lol

[@johnysilver1853]

@@jakequisenberry973 I used huge pipe wrench to spin it. It wasn't easy though used jack to lean against trailer floor and push on wrench handle. Was able to remove it and replaced with new one.

[@jakequisenberry973]

@Johny Silver thanks man, we used an air hammer. I tried a pipe wrench but had no luck, used a slide hammer, still nothing. Finally used the air hammer and it got it. It was definitely a bastard and a half.

That is not a fix bud! Those tubes should not slide in or out. It needs to have extreme came tubes installed. Horrible video

[@LongHaulLarry]

In some older trailers and different brands yes the tubes stay in and you replace the bushings, in this model 4 bolts and you replace the whole tube. So don’t know how it’s a horrible video, done to own procedures
