Servicing the Off-Road Haul Truck. It Was a Rough Start

[@tristardiggin]

Very cool that the brakes was a minor issue! Still haven’t figured out what to do on my parking brake issue. Found some but will cost over $300 bucks.

[@smithworx1091]

@tristardiggin I might not be out of the woods lol. I need to go finish your video. I got interrupted about the time you got the bolt out of the caliper

[@garygreen1670]

I don't have anything that big, the only tip I can give e you is my Dad gave me his old strap wrench when he retired. Ihave a drawer full of short handed crap that that seem to fit when I need it. And when you started wearing them shorty shorts, if you would have sang YMCA. Man card police would have been called. And thanks for parking that Ram in front so all them Fords could have a good Laugh. Great Video. Great yo see Jerry, Liked his shirt 👍

[@smithworx1091]

@garygreen1670 🤣🤣🤣 appreciate it brother. I need a heavy duty strap wrench for this truck. I'll be sure to wear the shorty shorts more often lol

[@Letsfarm55]

Good to see you, Bubba.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks buddy

[@tonymiles3106]

Great video and content. Those big boy toys are expensive to maintain, but even more expensive if you don't. I am with you on the hydraulic oil, water will haunt you later if not removed entirely.

[@smithworx1091]

Appreciate it Tony. It'll probably lock smooth up soon as it gets to the job lol

[@jeffrussell2337]

Glad you and Jimmy are back together. Truck really looks good. Should get a lot of work out of it. Good luck on upcoming jobs and look forward to seeing more videos.

[@smithworx1091]

Appreciate it Jeff. It was good having Jimbo around. I hope the truck will hold up

Looks good Lindsey, came out lucky with the brakes by just getting away with bleeding them! That’s cool my friend, but it’s going to make you a really nice haul truck! Thanks for sharing and those are some good looking pups of yours! You know me, I’m a dog lover with three of my own! I used to have a male and female that same color as yours, beautiful pits! Thanks again for sharing your maintenance video with us! Kirk from Louisiana and I’m hoping everything here is going to be OK with the storm heading my way, last thing I need is another horrific storm here in Lake Charles! We’re praying for us and yall to stay safe for the duration of this hurricane, I actually told myself that one more hurricane hitting Lake Charles and I can’t handle Louisiana anymore! I’m just getting my yard back in shape after the 2020 hurricanes! Yall take care and we’re praying for yall! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯

Nice job brother. Lots of work to service that truck. Looking forward to seeing it on a job. Take care.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks Rick! Won't be long now

[@GaryWilkerson-o3b]

Some advice from totally unqualified me, surely you can get an owner's manual............. Good to see you back.

[@smithworx1091]

@user-ln4iv4dz5j I have one. And a parts break down. But for some reason it didn't show where the filters and simple things like that were located

[@jimmytew9468]

Nice to see you and Jimmy back at it. That's one thing I hated doing was changing filters and oils. Can't wait to see Jimmy running the haul truck. 😂 Good thing y'all got the breaks working. Be Safe Out There!

[@smithworx1091]

Hey Jim! I'm sure Jimmy will find plenty to run over 🤣

[@jimmytew9468]

​@@smithworx1091I can't wait he's gonna have a blast. It's might get wet this week. They're calling for 4 to 6 inches here.

Lot of work on the old truck. Going to be good to see it on a job.

Appreciate it bro

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Man, that was a job right there! One of the best things I bought for servicing my stuff is a strap type filter wrench. It's made by Lisle model 60200. You can use a 1/2" drive ratchet on it with an extension if you need it. Made my life a lot easier. Glad to see you back, stay safe.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks man. I'll look that up. I had a strap but couldn't find it of course

[@RichBenson-jx8pt]

Man Lindsey it's good to hear from you. The maintenance is a lot of work sometimes but it's worth it. You got feel better now that it's done. Hope it runs good for you. Can't wait to see it in action. Be safe and good luck.

[@smithworx1091]

@RichBenson-jx8pt appreciate it Rich. I feel a lot better about it for sure. I'm ready to put it to work finally

Good to see back and i enjoyed the vid thats one piece of equipment ive never been on

[@smithworx1091]

Appreciate it man. It's a lot of fun.

[@derrickpettit86]

Hey bro how r ya, good work on the service, it seems on those trucks breaks are the most important to pay attention to thats cor sure, water could have leaked under that hydraulic tank lid an seal you had off of there if it wasnt sealed correctly most likely, good video, thanks for sharing,look forward to seeing this truck in service,put her to work, make her grunt💪🇺🇲🤙✊👍

[@smithworx1091]

Appreciate it bro! I hope I have a good seal on it now. That's gonna get expensive

[@PurpleNovember]

For the higher clearance vehicles like that I had a 55 drum cut in half and had a heavy duty dolly for it. Some of the bigger ones took 18 gallons of oil and I didn’t always have the service port fittings. Smack the plug nice and flat with a hammer next time

[@johngory9247]

That is nasty. Good luck. 🤞🙈

Jesus Murphy!!!! Put some warning before you show your Daisy Dukes!!!! I may never recover from this!!!

[@smithworx1091]

🤣🤣 man it's hot down here

[@johnstark3058]

The check valve on the oil pan may be for pulling oil samples for analysis...checking for coolant or fuel in the oil😁

[@smithworx1091]

That's what I'm thinking. I doubt I'll be doing that lol

[@PurpleNovember]

It’s about time Maybe keep an eye on hydraulic temperatures when you’re running that thing. I like using a temp gun, like checking bearings.

[@smithworx1091]

That's a great idea

[@bigtarheelfan]

Looking forward to seeing it move some Dirt.

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks buddy! Won't be long

[@supervanll]

I think the best dump truck out there, this seems a low hours truck ? Good luck with the oil of the dropbox, very thick oil.

[@smithworx1091]

It's showing 15k hours. But I'm not sure if the hour meter is working. It might have 25k hours lol. But seems like a good truck so far

[@jamiewindsor7874]

How has the machine fixing been going for you good to see you back I hope that it’s for a long time this time around

[@smithworx1091]

We were busy past couple weeks. It's slowed down now

[@timcope3115]

I would be cycling those dump cylinders and changing that hyd oil. Then put just enough in the tank to cycle them again and cycle them again and change to I got all that water out of the system . That water will come back to haunt you if you don't get it out especially if you get an abnormally cold snap and it freezes and busts fitting or pump housings.

[@smithworx1091]

I been working it through the system. Seems to be clearing up a little better than I expected. You're right. It could freeze and ruin everything. Thanks buddy

[@AnomadAlaska]

It appears you have had some time to focus on lifting heavy things on a regular basis. Good luck with the off road truck. Come build a pond in North Carolina for me - LOL!

[@smithworx1091]

@AnomadAlaska lol. I used to be a bodybuilder in a former life. I started back in the gym after a few years off. Man I'd love to build you a pond.

[@AnomadAlaska]

Can you imagine the haul bill?

[@smithworx1091]

@@AnomadAlaska it was 1700 from Glasgow Kentucky to Tupelo MS. Probably twice that to you lol

[@jamiewindsor7874]

How do you move your equipment around from job to job

[@smithworx1091]

I have a semi I move the 313 with. I use my 3500 to move the dozer. I'll have to pay someone to move the haul truck though

[@martydix4257]

Not being nosey,but brother I know the haul truck cost a small fortune to put hydronic oil in jeeze you fought tht sob

[@smithworx1091]

@martydix4257 yeah it was a little expensive. But I found these buckets for like 33 dollars each

[@chuckiowa]

what you need to catch oil is a rubber mate stock tank This what Iron King inc use go over n watch him he works on Big Cats and Dump Truck Scrapers

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks buddy. I will

[@redfish7644]

Give us something 😎😎😎

[@smithworx1091]

Haha. I finished filming for a video this morning. I'll have y'all a video soon buddy!

[@nightstorm9128]

Here's some advice,,get yourself some spuds bacon and cabbage,,And eat it,,You'll feel better,,,

[@smithworx1091]

Lol. Thanks buddy

[@nightstorm9128]

You should have brought it outside and power wash the underside of the engine,,You'll know exactly where the oil is coming from..

[@smithworx1091]

I wish I had a heated power wash. Those things are nice

[@kerrysullivan6294]

Y'all have plenty of buckets after the change

[@smithworx1091]

Haha. No doubt. I think I used 7 buckets of hydraulic oil
