Devin, it would be cool to see a sit-down video from you explaining a bit more of your own back story. You're very knowledgeable. A lot of people would be interested in how you came to be where you are today.

Bob really does excellent work!!!

I'm just here for the music. 😂 Keep on Rockin brother!

Very nice. I never had one come apart that easy! I worked on big trucks between 1970 and 2007. Vintage equipment🤣😎

Another cool video! Love the radio station too.

Man you're a pro with the radio Sammy Hager and the rest of the classic rock keep jamming

I can’t even get my guys to clean off the finger prints on the trucks let alone grease stuff they didn’t work with

Damn wish this professional was my local mechanic. Definitely hands down best mechanic on the tubes!!

Nice education video, thank you for all the work you put into doing them and the voice overs. Just FYI no previous video popped up on the screen. Stay safe and healthy Sir.

thanks you I really appreciate being able to watch you work, you are a professional sir and I thank you

had to come find you on youtube from tik tok. I will probably never work on a big trucks but I’ll tell you what it is so interesting to watch.

Excellent! Now I know how to perform this repair on my John Deere mower

I made a special adapter for my floor jack so I can lift the assembly and take the pin past to install shims. Saves so much time on install.

Your classic rock station's playlist is better than mine.

Like the long format vid, always enjoy ur stuff

Love the videos! Thanks for making them. I’m a Pilot car driver and steer the trailers for the trucks pulling wind turbine blades. Our trailers tear up tires and I know you could fix them up. There is so much slop in the linkages and they don’t align them either. Had a driver blowing out air bags all the time and have seen you fix that issue. I’ll send him your info

Love the longer videos, ATB from England

Lining up the lock pin flats can be a royal pain.... you made this job look easy!

Great videos, you're obviously great at what you do and have been around the block a couple times. I work with heavy equipment regularly but pretty much never touch semi rigs, interesting to see how easy these kingpins come out vs some of the crap I've had to rig up over the years. We got desperate at one point and had to grab a 30 ton harbor freight bottle jack because our 20 ton in the service truck wouldn't push out a kingpin, when that sucker finally let loose I needed to change my pants.

Same here with how easy it came apart. When I worked in England straight out of my apprenticeship, we had a run of Bedford steering work. Pretty light trucks really but running on icy, salty roads pretty much siezed every bolt, nut and pin on them.

That was very good. I have done that on medium duty trucks but I have never done my semi as of yet. You forgot to show us how much slack was in the old pin. It must have been pretty loose as easy as the pin slid out. I have an actual puller that I use . I'm not a fan for doing a lot of heavy hammering on components. Light tapping yes.

If you put a jack underneath the spindle after you remove the king pin you can slide out the top shims so the spindle can slide off easier. Aslo do you check the eyes for out of roundness if they are not snug then it would need to be bored and sleeved

How bout a video on Peterbilt rear spring broken center bolt replacement, I have to do mine and can’t afford to pay a shop

neighbor mentioned to try Barrier cream for your hands if not wearing gloves. and get some Urea based hand cream for after washing up, stops cracked fingers the best. and anyone with cracked fingers, start taking hemp seed oil. Cured his hands the best of anything the dermatologist tried

Kp cap u can usually blow air through the grease fitting and it will pop it out

2:12 “just come right on out didn’t it”. That bolt seen all your purse swings and didn’t want any parts of that.

I would love to follow you around for a couple months to just learn. You ever want someone to video you for free I am your man. This could be huge man no one has what you have man.

Have you ever tried Tiger Tools for kingpin removal? They also other tools for other parts of the suspension? I'm still wondering where your shop is so I can schedule an appointment.

"Most of the time they'll just pop out." Yeah, IF its a brand new truck like that one, or IF the last mechanic used antisieze. OTHERWISE, you're lookin at some serious aggravation, the probable use of a torch with a heating tip, and possibly several hours of hard labor. I once spent a day and a half of "heatin' & beatin' " on an old Volvo trying to extract a kingpin that had been protruding 3/4" out the bottom of the spindle, due to lack of grease. Edit: Also, you really should remove the hub and brake assemblies. Yes its a bit mor work, but it also makes handling the removal and installation of the spindle safer and easier without all that extra weight on it. And, antisieze is GOD.

Curious what kind of paint you're using?

Why would you ever want air on your steer axle? That's a dangerous failure point.

Actually with an internal bump stop they would drop down to the stop and that's that, if the bag were to blow. If the air bag is properly sized the bag gives a much smoother ride than steel spring. Also it responds to the deviation in the road much faster. That's why you see factory now bagging all the higher end trucks.

There's a channel called Curious Droid that does space and space tech and a few years ago he held sort of a vote on the single most important invention of the 20th century and a whole messload of people were all up on the CMOS transistor circuit... which is technically just a solid state copy of a prior valve tube but doesn't need all the accoutraments. Yes, the CMOS is amazing... but apparently everybody forgot about an immigrant engineer named Zerk who invented a greaser port. One thread, one hole, one ball, one spring... almost a 92% reduction in wear on equipment from failures of threaded cups, automatic greaser systems and debris entering those systems by sloppy dirty handling. Nobody steals the grease out of your zerks like they would with cups. Nobody breaks long brass lines off and sprays all the grease down the side of the boiler. Everybody knows to give the gun a little squeeze and wipe the dirty ball off the end. Greatest invention since the steam engine and vaccination. Strangely nobody really voted for antibiotics and I would happily use a spatula to keep my babbits wet if I had to choose between them and a Zerk. CMOS my arse.

That air bag setup looks like a poorly designed problem
