    I had a Wabash 53ft spread with 2 air dumps and it worked sweet. Looking good Martin. Made right choice, this is work and money saved can make a big difference. I still think you should license fancy as an rv. And travel to truck shows etc. Continued safe travels.

  • @KyleQuamme
    @KyleQuamme Před 20 dny +1

    Hi Martin! If the diesel heater is smoking that bad the burn chamber is sooted up. They are notorious for running too rich. If the controller has a high altitude setting, use that and run it on full blast for a good 10 minutes or so. A sustained temp of 180 C or higher with no smoke is a good sign. If it isn't too bad already you'll see fluffy carbon shoot out of the exhaust. Otherwise if it's too sooted up already, you might have trouble keeping it lit and will have to take it apart and clean the soot out. There's a good chance you'll rip the gasket when you pull the two halves apart. I keep a couple rebuild kits on hand in the vehicle for mine. They run around $20 online for the gasket, fuel screen, glow plug and socket for the glow plug.

    • @TruckingTogether
      @TruckingTogether  Před 19 dny

      It’s don’t that since brand new, it’s a cheap Chinese heater and clears up after a few seconds.

    • @user-th1gs5hm1r
      @user-th1gs5hm1r Před 19 dny

      Martin, ya might consider ordering back up stock for most any Chinese knock-off.

    • @TruckingTogether
      @TruckingTogether  Před 18 dny

      For $69 a pop, it’s cheaper than a rebuild kit for a fancy merica model that’s still made in chiiiiiiiiiiiina

      lol man I think you’re gonna be let down even more. They’re discounting the 3400 series engine aka c15/16/18 they still used in machinery for a 13 liter common rail off the wall new engine. Probably will be as good and reliable as the rest of the garbage out now.

    • @TruckingTogether

      The bumper on Alice’s truck? The factory chromed bumpers are heavy gauge steel that are actually thicker than the flat bumpers on hooded trucks, also reinforced and stronger.

    Great video! Are you going to put a dump valve on that front spread axle?

    • @TruckingTogether
      @TruckingTogether  Před 20 dny

      It has dump valves on both. If you mean a lift, eventually yes.

    • @rlfedler
      @rlfedler Před 20 dny

      @@TruckingTogether ……. I was thinking just the dump valve without the lift. Maybe not enough weight comes off that axle being it is a 53 foot trailer. The one I pulled was only a 48 back in the day and with a load on I know that you could not dump the rear axle and pivot on the front. That was way too heavy, and I was thinking you could dump the front and pivot on the back. I remember once backing into a pit dock where all the doors were extremely close together. There wasn’t much room to maneuver straight, had to back in at a 45° angle. If I remember correctly, I had to dump the front axle to get the back of the trailer to line up between the two semis next to me and once the rear axle went over the hump going into the pit, then I had to dump that axle and air up the front to straighten out the truck. I had to use all my brain cells that day ..
