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

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.

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

[@gurmukhsingh6097]

Good info God bless

[@hacatan24]

Wow that sux.. you have to remove it?? I thought it was easy fix

[@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

[@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]

Where is the video where u fix it 5th wheel??

[@vinr6867]

[@moonlight2373]

[@thomasxenakis6074]

[@6ohhhhdave]

[@1masut]
