SPQ13 PM Greasing

During PM on the Peterbilt I greased 51 zerk fitting. Some of the fittings were really straight forward and out in the open but the were a few hidden in tight places. Here are some picture of some easy ones to find and some more difficult ones.

This is a remote greasing plate for some harder to reach zerk fitting.
This fitting was on the right side rear drum brake arm and it was tucked under everything and would be easy to miss.
 

Usually right here there would be two zerk fitting for the transmission and the throughout bearing but this truck had a remote greasing plate by the engine for quick access

SPQ13 PM Filters

The oil filter is Fleetguard LF9001. This filter needs to be changed every oil change. The fuel filter is Fleetguard FS19764. The diesel exhaust fluid filter is Fleetguard A028Y794. The air filter in the system has a suction gauge that will read red when the filter starts to clog up.

PSQ13 Cat Testing

This week I have learned a lot about the hydraulic system on a cat excavator. I have done testing of the hydraulic pressure relieve in the pilot system and cycle times in the system. I have also measured and figured out how many miles per hour the tracks went and compared it with the set times in the service manual. This week has been a good week and I have learned a lot.

SPQ13 Kenworth

    This week I have learned a lot about factory line and how they can run efficiently. I went on a tour of the Seattle Kenworth factory and learned about how they have the assembly line set up. I think it was nice to see how easy and straight forward everything looked as it was being put together. Now I can see all of that aspect of diesel in a different way.
