Nice info for us owner op, Thanks I would like next videos without out background music so as to hear you wel, thanks again keep us informed for our trucks
Great start to the video, I was sticking around for the common noises, I hear and feel like a clunk when I turn, more so to the left then the right but both (this is following a steer blow out on my right tire a couple of days ago) belt snapped no warning! Can’t find a video on RU-vid actually explaining how the axels, tie rod, steering components, everything needing to steer, trying to have an idea on what could be wrong thank you!
I have a Cascadia Freightliner that I converted to a Dump Truck. I reinforced & lifted the front end suspension. My drag link is bad and I am replacing but my steering wheel is not centered. It now sits @ 10 & 4 oclock when its centered. Will alignment fix the issue? What is the proper fix?
How can you differentiate a bad steering box vs a bad pump ? Can you make a video or provide a link if there's one already posted in your channel. Thanks, good stuff
Where are you located?? I took my truck that I just purchased from pedigree to freightliner and they couldn’t figure out what’s the problem that I’m feeling with the steering wheel … everybody is saying it drives normal because no one is over the road with me driving 10 hours and getting drastically tired of it…. They test drove it and said it’s normal when you hit bumps but trust me I know when something is not right ! All I drove since I started trucking 3 years are cascadias so I’m pretty sure something is off !!! I’d love it if you can check my truck and see what’s wrong 🙏🏼! Would be nice to hear from you
Excellent vid. Whenever I do slow turns, I can hear something in my column, and it feels slightly off. Could that be filter related? Still have power steering
My gear box just went out. The truck is a 2007 century class. The box was smoking hot. I told the mechanic,something is burning! The fluid tank was hot, hoses,you coutouch them. There is only 4 gear boxes in the entire country. $1700.00 Power steering pump is in st Louis around $300. I had no warning of any problem. Just BAM . The mechanic never seen anything like it.
2019 volvo vnl 760 a little indication of turning either direction you'll hear/feel a small grinding happening. Hub oils full, no sign of spillage and temperature of it also felt properly warm. There is some steering play I must say, but going just beyond that you'll hear the grinding/noise vibration.
people say i take advantage but i been in a good truck an i know how the steering suppose to be mechanics of other races are very knowledgeable an i notice that they have the ability to turn the steering wheel an also loosing the steering wheel to make it difficult to steer can anyone please tell me how i can fix it on my own because i know it’s not an alignment. example i’ll be driving a truck down a straight road an the steering wheel is turned half way to the right another thing is loose free play when the steering wheel is straight any help i need the key for my self

I have a 1999 fld freightliner I have very much checked and change most of the steering components I did the alignment and so but I still have a bad steering while I'm driving it on the road what do you think or recommend me ?

Has anyone have idea what’s with my truck
Remove the power steering return line and secure it into a 5 gallon bucket . Start engine and continually add to the reservoir till new fluid is seen pouring into the bucket , shut down . Have a friend start and stop the engine , be in neutral .
