Am liking your plumbing, making things easy to shut off, is a brilliant time saver. It will save money if your on a job if you need to carry out urgent maintenance or change something over in the field.

[@chrishelms1967]

I love a rainy day in Derby..... that means shop videos

[@agdesignfabrication1009]

Use to plumb trucks for a custom service/ lube truck company and had a engineer explaining the importance of several areas. Always use black pipe/ steel fittings on hydraulic/ oil systems because galvanized pipe fittings the coatings will flake off and ruin pumps and other systems. Your return filter needs to be installed in the vertical position to maximize it's effectiveness. And finally that shut-off valve handle either needs to be flipped around so open the handle is facing down or zipped tied in the open position. Vibration will cause the handle to shut closing off return flow if you don't. Just some helpful tips to prevent disasters in the future. I have alot of pictures from that period that I used to help train new employees showing exactly how we plumbed the chassis and tanks. Pictures have been known to better explain then one can explain ten different ways! @Dirt Perfect just trying to save you some headaches and $$$ in the future.

[@jimtaylor6979]

smaller tank return hose creates back pressure it should be the same size as pressure side or one size bigger is rule of thumb as well

[@j.b.caldwell7420]

Shouldn't the filter need to be on the suction side between tank and pump and the quarter turn ball valve between the dump valve and the tank needs rated to full system pressure ? As plumbed the filter could see full system pressure

[@bluegrallis]

@@j.b.caldwell7420 There is no pressure on the return side, UNLESS, you start the pump up with the valve closed. NEVER put a filter on the suction side. If it plugs up, you lose your pump. If it plugs up on the return side, it just bypasses the filter as it is a "bypass" filter housing.

[@j.b.caldwell7420]

@@bluegrallis So with the bed up and both ball valves closed and the dump valved tripped open - the filter body wouldn't see the cylinder pressure ? Maybe valves pn both sides of filter ?

[@bluegrallis]

@@j.b.caldwell7420 ANYTIME the return line valve is closed, you can easily blow the filter off the housing. That's why there shouldn't be a ball valve on the return, when you can put a check valve between the tank and the filter. If the suction side is closed, you can't raise the bed. You can shell out the pump though. If you raise the bed, get out of the truck and close both valves, you WILL have a failure by attempting to lower the bed.

Awesome DP you and Mr Millennial working on Lt Dan it’s coming together

[@jasonthompson6255]

Those magnetic drills are the ducks nuts...best invention ever

[@ronaldheit196]

Just a bit of advice from past experience. Replace that tie wrap holding the J block to the cylinder with a metal one with rubber between the J block and the cylinder. Plastic tie wraps tend to streach over time from heat and stress and you'll loose that rubber spacer possibly getting "hose knocking".

[@marktalbert2939]

It will be a nice addition to fleet. Have a great day

[@davepiatt3804]

Great job on location of filter, mounting it horizontal will create less of a mess when changing. Mounting it like that will require more often changes because all sediment will sink to bottom half of filter. I installed many wet lines on trucks over the years. Also galvanized pipe is a no no. And don't use Teflon tape on joints, use a aneorobic pipe sealant instead. In the instructions with your HYD system it should explain that use of tape voids warranty. The tape is just that, if any strands get in the system it wraps around pump gears, spool valves, check valves, etc. Your return hose should be same size if not bigger than your pressure hose, preferably bigger.

[@buttheadsmith7012]

Exactly Dave, And a band clamp with rubber isolator not a zip tie. But we digress ... still love the videos. Hope the circuit works

[@casycasy5199]

great explanation of system thanks

[@davepiatt3804]

@@casycasy5199 thanks. HYD systems are tricky, most will work just fine, but it's always best to have a efficient system. Systems that I installed were run 3-4 hrs each day and some 7 days a week. You learn from your mistakes in a hurry

Your filter should go between the tank and the INPUT to the pump to keep contaminates out of the pump.

[@vaughnhill3437]

Good job you two.

[@rypkepaulusma]

You're assuming right: the P stands for pump (high-pressure input) and the T stands for tank (low-pressure return to reservoir). Every time the cylinder is activated, a lot of pressure and vibration will be put on the high-pressure hoses. Therefore I would make a mount for the filter assembly, thus preventing all sorts of problems. Also make sure the hoses are not rubbing agains metal or against each other, and don't start flapping around. I love the way you attack all the issues you encounter, and trying to solve them together. Love your vid's.

Regular Heater hose, fuel hose etc works great for wrapping around stuff for abrasion resistance for wiring or hoses etc. Cut a 3" section or whatever and slit, wrap around and zip tie in place. Obviously wire split loom works for some, but it wil still rub through

Mike , in a former life I worked in a shop that made hydraulic hoses and you are right . The smell from cutting the hose is one you will never forget .

[@nathanscott7910]

Yeah I've cut them myself when I worked at a John Deere dealership.

[@Crewsy]

I guess in most shops that make hoses they use a saw blade with teeth and not an abrasive disk to cut hoses because of the burnt rubber. As bad as it is it’s still better than the smell of old gear oil though. 🤢 Probably the worst smell a mechanic deals with other than the coworker after a night of beer and wings. 😜
