A dollar saved is a dollar earned. Many o/o's fail because they have to go to the shop for everything. Good job, Sir. Egit: Looks like 10K soon... Congrats!

@OTRBandit 4 ай бұрын

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.

@OTRBandit 4 ай бұрын

I’m not sure what happened with the old valve but this one is working great so far.

@ronnieterry4916 4 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?

You know how many people can’t even work on their own cars and they own a semi truck 😂… always love seeing people working on their own rigs … I am in the process of adding a suspension dump to my cascadia as it did not come with one

@OTRBandit 4 ай бұрын

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..

I did drive it with loaded trailer and it seems to be working fine. I did run into another problem where I had to take it to a shop but all of that is resolved now as well. So we’ll be good to roll sometime tomorrow.

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.

@OTRBandit 4 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.

Hi my Friend, quick question will you be sandblastings your trailer frame to get rid of the surface rust? I hope so because you truck and trailer will look great and I would paint it so it matches your truck too if it isn't too much cost wise.

I’ve actually thought about that long time ago when I had a hard cranking landing gear. I think it would totally be doable. Just gotta weld socket on there or something.

@alleycat9369 4 ай бұрын

@@OTRBandit I never had to crank my trailer hard, before retiring that is, just crank the landing gear to about an inch to the ground and dump the air bags and pull out. No problem. What I liked about the Pete suspension is when you hit a bump in a curve it goes up and down and not side to side. Good job man.

I'm curious, why didn't you adjust your old leveling valve, instead of buying a new one? Was the old one leaking? I don't understand the rationale for the swap.

It is clearly malfunctioning since the airbags were over inflated

@@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.

As for no video of prior measurements confirming overinflation to us as an audience, if one intimately knows his equipment (as he does) he showed us the overinflated bags in which the bell/spring seat at the bottom was all but completely exposed, indicating over extension.

I assumed it was bad but I wasn’t sure. I should have measured before I disassembled it but I totally forgot. I just decided to throw new one on there because something was definitely wrong with the old one.
