This guy sound very humble and honest person. The day I buy my truck and have mechanic problems I would be more than happy to fix it with him.

[@chuckshade7959]

Normally there is a name plate or spec plate on the front or side edge under the dried dirt / grease to help identify what you have , good video .

[@subaquaticsleepwalker7240]

That was very well explained thank you!

[@andrewmaggit4879]

Very helpful! Thanks

[@sean5331]

Hey man what’s normal oil pressure on DD15 while idling and driving ? Thanx !

[@The-realnews]

The fifth wheel I have doesn't look slidable. 2017 truck Freightliner dozen of the switch inside the truck. How do they slice

[@jeehaar5458]

? Can u install different brand fifth wheel 🤔 if I have fontaine fifth ,can I install holland fifth wheel

[@nospam3001]

You can get a new 5th wheel installed for around a thousand dollars. Better to do that than to trust a rebuild kit. Parts and labor for a rebuild are usually close to the cost of a new 5th wheel anyway.

[@gurmukhsingh6097]

Good info God bless

[@fcoanaya5762]

Francisco tengo un peterbilt 2007 con un ISX 450 y el velocímetro no se queda estable y habeses se queda pegado en zero y no quiere avanzar el troke pierde fuerza y luego como que despega y se pone normal. será el speed sensor o algo eléctrico.. te agradezco si me respondes

[@hacatan24]

[@ProBackgammonequipment]

[@drago22alina22]

I rebuilt my fontaine and still lots of slack, cant get it to tighten up, i tried to turn the bolt both ways nothing happens, it siezes sometimes when i go right, but its loose either way

[@Tomthetrucker]

I’m having this problem.. did you figure it out ?

[@diezales7268]

[@diezales6480]

Hello Francisco,,,yo uso una válvula en la cabina para liberar la 5ta rueda pero debo hacer mucha fuerza últimamente para halar esta válvula nose porque esta tan rigida aunque sigue funcionando,,,podrá saber cual es el problema????

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Probably que necesita grasa

[@elljay4587]

A spring broke, been there, fixed that

[@moonlight2373]
