Cat truflo 550 ????

got mine at fleet pride for 350

 

Peterbilt has Jost on sale this month....six hundred and change.

Take your old one to the scrap yard and it gets cheaper!!

 

upgrade to 750 trueflow for the same $$. looks just like the 550. all connections are the same.

 

It's not hard at all to rebuild a fifth wheel. Rebuild kits are anywhere from $350-500. The hardest part is getting them clean to do the rebuild.

We just rebuilt one, parts were in stock at most vendors I called. Once you clean it, the recessed "SIMPLEX" on the top is the wear indicator, if it's gone, it's too thin to rebuild. If you can read it, do all the other checks and rebuild.

 

Replaced mine on my C15 a few months ago with a Bendix reman from local KW dealer. $495, core charge $600, but dealer trusted me to return the core without charge. I also spent about $38 for an aluminum spacer that goes between the compressor flange and the mounting surface. If your has this spacer go ahead and get a new one as it's almost impossible to remove the one from the old compressor with out breaking it. Oh, the Bendix comes in blue; add $200 for Cat yellow and a Cat name tag. (No Joke)Both are remaned by Bendix.
