Very close to 10K If you’re going to own your own truck, you definitely need to know how to do some repairs. And at least get your own oil change. I save $300 every time I change my own oil.

Very good information. I replaced the value on my peterbilt truck back in 2020 . Before I replaced the valve the air bags were too high but everything was great with the new value. Very good video.
@OTRBandit4 ай бұрын
I’m not sure what happened with the old valve but this one is working great so far.
@ronnieterry49164 ай бұрын
@OTRBandit Everything looked with the valve I replaced on my truck. It's moving all of the time when the truck is moving. It probably let air pass and that was why it over inflated the air bags?

I like working on my own truck. Saves allot of money. I think every owner operator should know how to fix some of these basic things. I’m surprised your truck didn’t come with suspension dump. I think you should be able to find some videos on KZfaq of someone installing one of those.

Great video my friend, Pprrrrrttttt. Yes sir, thanx for that information, glad you now have the new landing gear crank handle. When you did the test ride with the trailer, I presume it was empty, do you think with having a load, maybe anywhere from 25,000-44,000, that the ride will still be better since replacing the leveling valve ?? Ok buddy, stay safe out there, looking forward to the next video, keep 'er between the mayo & mustard..

Great job Bandit, I’m guessing the leveling valve on the trailer is fine, also how much tread depth do have on those drives? Looks like baby needs shoes, how much does Peterbilt charge to bring your truck to O/op Specs? Last, have you pulled any JENNI-O turkeys out of MINNESNOWTA yet going down to Strasburg Virginia? I use to love ❤️ pulling anything out of Minnesota because everything has good Miles on it.
@OTRBandit4 ай бұрын
Thank you buddy. I think leveling valve is good on the trailer but I will get that replaced as well just to be on the safe side. I think tires should be good for another year. Not looking forward to replacing those because it’ll be allot of money. I haven’t been up to Minnesota yet with reefer. I’m still trying to figure out what area I want to run with the reefer.

@@randallmercer4995No need, the adjustment is made and set when installed, once a component such as this valve failed an adjustment will not be of use, what will happen is the component will become “busy” or “void” of work all together, in either state of operation the system induces further damage to components in correlation with the valve, it’s advantageous to simply replace the valve.
