    Nice work sir I’m working now on my truck doing what your doing and needed som more wisdom 😊 and thank you for your video I found it 👍 Have a bless day
  • Thanks for the video! It’s cool to see how you check for leaks. I will remember that if there’s ever a time when I don’t have soapy water on hand. I did notice that your rear torque arm looked pretty worn. Just an observation that is often over looked. I love your videos and I’ve learned a lot from you. Thanks sir!

    Thank you for your video I used 6 soapy bottles trying to find an air leak the problem was I didn’t hear any leaks then after watching a video I used the hose but still there was no luck I was loosing all my 120 psi in 6h there was a big leak somewhere but I couldn’t find it until I raised my leveling valve and sprayed again the soapy water on my airbags just like you did in the video and I heard the leak!!! For some reason it wasn’t bubbling or anything it was very quiet leak now I know two of my drive air bags are leaking and thanks to you Gordon I found the problem and will fix it before they explode !!!

    A pleasure to watch, and I keep learning too.
  • Had those FLD dashes apart many times. Always hated the fiber optic light cables. Used to get a lot of leaks at 5th wheel slide switches. Great content 👍

    For the love of god lol, get an empty windex bottle and fill with dawn dish soap and water and start spraying air lines and air bags watch for bubbles as you do it

    I just did the parking brake valves in the cab on the 05 Vision. Oh my goodness!! That was a JOB! No room to work at all! What I thought was going to take a couple hours ended up being an all day job. Had to cut a bit of metal out of the dash to get the hoses off and back on. I hope God can forgive me after that job. 😂 That was worse than moving hogs! 😉 Great video!

    I found mine on the top of the transmission and was a bugger to get to through the shifter hole. I never thought of using a hose. That is a good idea As always a good video!!
