Good video. Some feedback for you and for others reading my comments: 1. After torquing, use a paint pen to mark the nut and hangar/component. That way you can do a quick visual inspection to see if the nut has come loose and only torque when necessary. 2. Use blue loctite thread locker (or equivalent) wherever lock washers/nylon washers are not used. Do NOT use the red loctite as you'll never get it off. 3. When giving the one or two pumps of grease in the EZ lube system, Dexter wants you to slowly rotate the tire. Thus, each tire will have to be slightly off the ground as you do it. I suspect that this may be the reason why you had so many grease seals fail. It's abnormal to see this many fail at the same time. Also, as you did in the video, only use a manual grease gun to do this as a powered grease gun can produce to high a pressure, thus blowing the grease past the grease seal. 4. This next point causes a lot of discussion. FYI that I'm an engineer. Run your tires at the recommended psi on the RV sticker provided by the manufacturer, not what the tire has on it for max psi allowed. If you run at max psi that is noted on the tire, yes, you'll get max load that the tire can handle, but you're also losing the dampening effect that the tires provide. Tires are part of the suspension, not only for load carrying, but also vibration dampening. The RV manufacturer recommends a tire pressure that will do both, i.e. provide the proper load carrying capability AND provide vibration dampening. A fully maxed out tire pressure will make the tire like a brick. Of course, it's your choice to run your tires at the psi you choose at the end of the day. 5. It's a good idea to give a light coat of grease to each bolt prior to inserting them in the equalizer or leaf eye. 6. If you can, I'd recommend re-routing your plumbing to allow for the installation of the third Morryde x-factor cross member. I can guarantee you that the two hangers at this point are taking more of a lateral load than the other two that have x-factor cross members installed.
@@stevenjefferys10 Thank you very much for this detailed feedback Steven! Many great tips here. I appreciate you taking the time to write this out. I’ll pin your comment so it shows up at the top 🙏
@@AroundTheSunWeGo wasn't aware of the drop down brackets which us helpful because I can use those instead of making them when I decide to install a few crossmembers. Also the link kit is neat, wasn't aware of that neither. Thanks again, I'm now a subscriber.
Great detail video. You sure are a great mechanic. Got a question, you did a video about a year ago on installing a residential refrigerator. How is that working out? Our Norcold 2118 just not doing it anymore. Thinking of putting solar on top of the roof and the Samsung RF18 in place of the Norcold. Any advice you can give me?
@@stevengoossen6019 Hey Steven! The Samsung has been going strong for over 2 years now. No complaints at all. I’d say all of the details I cover in that video still apply. It’s a great swap to do!
