    I hate mack trunion jobs. Ive done several in the past decade, im 35 now. With that being said i really enjoyed this video, probably bc im not the one doing the work. At my old shop i never had a forklift. I had the amazing napa jack. Trunions, differentials, and all sorts of other things never stood a chance against the amazing napa jack. I did alk kinds of sketchy things with that old floor jack. Thanks for the video.

    I tell you I love watching a person work that knows what they're doing not only what they're doing but the the little tricks and tips that make each particular job go that much smoother. It comes from years of Hands-On training and learning from good instructors. People in this line of work need to pay attention, those that are learning and those that have done it for a long time. You're never too old to learn a new trick.

The "Bob" hand is a catchy & funny gag too. I learned several points today about the function & design of Mack camelback tandem axle suspension. Thanks! I only worked on single axle school bus suspensions, brakes, engines, etc. Cheers! Paul from S. Central Tx.

    Love the channel. I’m a former auto mechanic who still loves and appreciates suspension and steering/ alignment work. Really is a dying art, especially frame/axle bending, glad to see you keep it alive 👍 I trained on auto and truck repair as well at UNOH 40 years ago. 4 years as Mr Goodwrench then got into industrial maintenance instead as it paid much better and great benefits. Sure used my mechanics training there though . Retired now but still love to wrench. Keep up the good work !!!!

    Former truck driver, current factory worker that farms on the side. Watching this 9 months late but had to check to make sure I was subscribed for the snap on giveaway. More to the point, I always thought the camel back was the greatest suspension ever designed for off-road application. It keeps the weight balanced on both axles for traction. I had a R688 that could keep going in mud that would stop Hendrickson trucks in a heartbeat. Only thing better was another farmer that had an old army truck. That thing would go anywhere as long as he wasn't broke down.

    Just found these videos! Great stuff. I've been a Truck technician for over 40 years. I'm no longer messing with heavy suspension parts though!! I did work for a Mack dealership at one point and something I found concerning these suspensions was the fact that those "rubber" end blocks were to lubricated with "edible lambs tallow" Seriously, that's what the Mack manual stated. I watched this whole video waiting for you to get to this part only to be disappointed! It wasn't even mentioned!! Now looking at it again those blocks appeared to be some sort of synthetic material and maybe don't use any lube. I was doing these suspensions on mid 80's truck and the blocks seemed to be real rubber.

    Thanks for sharing this. I drive a Mack CL700 dump truck for a small gravel pit. It has the Camelback suspension and it's all kinds of wore out in that center trunnion. Sadly they can't afford to buy a bunch of new parts, but they do have another set out in the yard. Hopefully it can get swapped out this winter while our operation is down for the season. But as a driver, I appreciate knowing how my equipment actually works and goes together. Heck, they might ask me to help mechanic on it in the Spring.

    When I was an apprentice, the company I first worked for used to keep springs that were no good to use them for building up teeth on their excavator buckets as they loaded garbage into their trucks and the teeth wore out seriously fast. The used springs were great protection when welded around the bases of excavator buckets and onto worn out teeth...

    I have used newspaper to gather up grease and to put the parts on and then fold up to keep any dirt from getting on them . When job is throughout or burn for heat in wood stove. When cutting U bolts or center bolt on springs , Always be behind the longest leafs and have you foot against it , because if center bolt is broken or being cut that spring pack will explode throwing the smaller spring leafs many feet and you do not want to get hit with them or have them hit the torch . I have cut many center bolts from the longest leafs side and had spring packs throw shorter leafs 3 feet .
