  • Hey Sean, I connect to a trailer last night but the air ride system did not inflate the air bags after I release the trailer air supply valve, red botton and went to the trailer valve for the air bags and turn on the inflate position but nothing happened. I noticed that there was water inside the trailer air ride valve gauge in that little box before the tandems.

  • @mecedes4000 Was it really cold? If it was, there may have been ice in the line blocking the air

  • never ever get under the trailer unless you have to

  • @readingnewboy And there are plenty of reasons you LEGALLY have to, pretrip for instance, to visually inspect the fifthwheel jaws... ect

  • Are there only 3 cable for connecting the truck with the trailer?

  • @MrPatPowers On average yes. Possibly specialized equiptment has more

  • you have a nice way of putting it keep them coming thanks for the info.

  • When i went through the trucking school with my company. We have 6 cables to attach. Two of them were back up cables and the other one is a hydralic line. And being that i drive a dump truck. The coupling has to be manualy cosed and locked. But good video as usual.

    

  • Dont worry about bad commentary, just teach.

  • @MrPatPowers Sometimes 5 if you have a live floor or any kind of hydraulic system one in and one out line.
