How much did this cost ?

All the money... :D

Good job. Glad you added the splice.

[@paulkushnir2224]

Straight cuts are ok if welded with the proper procedures and a frame section over or inside as long as possible to stiffen that frame that job would not pass in most places welding has to have full penetration and peened and I would have never used wire feed unless it's a flux core wire that has been tested on this type of frame material. Stick welding is a proven method must be back gouged usually I weld the inside first so I can grind out any slag and crap lot easier to work on the outside of the frame then fill and cap it just like I would do a pipe weld except I would air peen the welds to stress relieve it.

[@dustinmeier9753]

Bridges are joined at straight cuts. They used an industry standard procedure. It’ll be fine.

[@r2db]

@@dustinmeier9753 Frames are heat-treated, high-strength steel, and most frame repair procedures (all that I have seen) specifically require 110ksi low-hydrogen rod. One could potentially convince an engineer to approve E111T1 dual shield. Welding inherently screws up the heat treatment of the frame. Peening the weld between passes, as stated above, stress relieves the steel and makes it less likely to crack, which is a big issue with welded frames. Using a lower tensile strength welding alloy would likely be considered an unacceptable practice in many areas. The normal welding alloys we use have 40% less strength than what is called for in this case. All it would take is one DOT officer having a bad day and this truck would be towed and permanently OOS until engineering drawings and x-ray inspection of the weld would be provided to prove that it was done safely, or it is cut again, properly re-welded, and inspected. @paulkushnir2224 clearly knows what he is talking about and is describing the right way, as per manufacturer procedures, to do this. And that is what is important to the DOT.

[@Brian-os9qj]

Nicely done, hard work paying off

[@bignick9578]

Good job bro it was cool watching how that whole process went 👍🏽

[@lungelinecowboy]

Beautiful job man. Wheelbase looks proper. Not too long and not too short. That frame was in great shape for a donor.

[@larryfrasier6374]

Looking good. Nice job

[@jth1699]

For lifting the sleeper you could just use a spreader bar - then you just pick straight up from the bottom of the sleeper and the spreader bar takes the crush at the top... and you can use the spreader bar for picking anything else that is about as wide as your truck

[@nickd.4512]

Hey, looks good. The only thing id have done different would have been to use c channel for the insert. But, ya kinda cant with different frame heights. Anyway it works and thats all that matters. Good luck with the kenneynational interworth. 😁

what you said would be the only suggestion i could have made but still a great build

Thanks for the video! Philippians 2...one of the greatest passages in the New Testament. I liked the video, too. The splices on that original frame looked like the work of Pakistani Truck on YT...

[@skeeterbuildsit6016]

Glad you showed it before the deck plate is on so we can actually see what was done

[@travisedwards732]

Personally I'd do a straight cut with a Sawzall.. slap some jb weld on the straight cut joined ends and call it a day.

[@joecorrie1]

Good job for a crew of younger guys, but don’t ever shy away from constructive criticism from the right people, not that you tube is the place for it, so I won’t go there? But as a semi retired welder fabricator I can say I’ve learned a lot, some from engineers but mostly from old welders with gray hair, when I was young I use to joke about it, if you didn’t have gray hair I wouldn’t listen to you Lol but all joking a side not all old guys know it all but if you know how to pick and choose what you hear you will be ahead of the game, there’s nothing like experience.

[@oilhauler76]

Beautiful job my man.......

[@peteschiavoni]

I’ve seen both ways done on stretches. Both worked. Truck looks much better

[@paulgriffiths8359]

Well for what its worth and thats not much, theres a fella in Australia I know that does chassis stretches every day of the week and plenty of weekend warriors have plenty of opinions They way the do every single one of theirs is a straight cut like yours, this is done because it gives least amount of heat in the rails when welding back up, this means less chance of weakening Every stretch is engineered and fully approved The only thing that would be frowned upon and it is very very minor is in Australia we need to cut blocks of wood that fit snuggly in between the flanges of the rails at the U bolts so flanges cant be squashed when doing up the U bolts Great video channel, love your stuff

[@Edaloy27]

I agree with the scarf cut approach, that’s how I do it, and I also stagger the splice when I can, and the scarf doesn’t necessarily have to be 45°, 30° is plenty, Bolting the fish plate is a good idea if you plan on messing with the frame again , my 2 cents

[@jasonphillips3146]

Truck looks cool. I Love it.

[@lifeintrucking.eduardomorales]

Looks nice. The cut was done the same way I've done mine. Running over the road with no issues at all. Thought the frame and suspension was Freightliner. Looks like an Airliner to me. But i might be wrong. Great video!

[@cordellmartin9329]

International used hendrickson suspension on that style. But it does look almost identical to airliner except airliner Frame mount brackets are solid and made of cast aluminum

[@charleygrossnicklaus4278]

appreciate it looks awesome fixing to do a cabover this year helped with the planning for it

[@rmbuser]

Looks Great and thanks for sharing!!! God Bless!!! I love the Peace and Grease!!! Blessings and be safe!!!

[@vicpetrishak7705]

Welders do not make ( Z ) cuts or 45 degree cuts in structural steel buildings . If welding an inside liner plate to the channel of the frame rail , only horizontal welds . Use flange bolts and flange nuts . Good Job !

[@brentwortham]

I have done it just the way you have.

[@edwardcarberry1095]

As you have finished all of this . Perhaps why didn't you do to lift the sleeper up with say a 4"x4" just straight up and hold it with rope then lift the other side?? Or use two ?? 500 lb ratchets??? As I understand one should lengthen frames with splicing 45* cuts?? thanks

[@terryperrott9913]

I'm a company driver of a local construction outfit, I drive end dump & lowboy. The end dump tractor was on its last leg so they got rid of it & got a newer tractor with a strong 2& half foot more wheelbase , that made a difference in the ride .

@@megastarx11, not necessarily. L cuts are way stronger, if you don't know what L cuts are, you have never stretched a semi frame

[@muthatrucka76]

People talk about if the weld isn't worth a shit...would any way of doing not be shitty if the welds were shit? If a welder has to prove their weld is stronger than the surrounding metal and isn't the weak point to be certified...Why would it matter about the angle and such? If it's reinforced and works..it works..Show me the physics and I'll agree after press testing the theory..because that's what it is until proven or disproven..

[@robertlewis698]

Good job bud very nice

[@Hypheh]

Europe calling here.. first notice, 4 bags per axle is considered better any day here. But what surprises me most is blocking fifth wheel swing. What? Why? Where this crazy amount of tension going when crossing awkward terrain?

[@GordonTurnerr]

I agree, maybe it has something to do with the specific trailer type they pull?

[@Hypheh]

@@GordonTurnerr As he says in the video its because of tipping but.. sure, it's better if you have stable saddle while tipping under angle but if there is also some driving included in the job then i lost it there. Pretty sure it will cause premature wear on kingpin and locking mechanism. And in some slippery cases lack of steering and/or loss of traction.

[@GordonTurnerr]

@@Hypheh maybe inclines don't exist where they live lol. Yeah that would stress the shit outta pin for sure!

[@Hypheh]

@@GordonTurnerr i'm so confused about this that i'd like to have a comment from somebody whos driven one and from some engineer, preferably from company witch makes side-swinging fifth wheels for heavy duty use for us.😀 Edit: Jost even makes No-Tilt fifth wheel, so if he really have correct trailer then yes, joke is all on me.
