Jack the cab up and get at it man. What CPL number on the Cummins?
Be careful jacking the cab up and down...it is tricky and takes getting used to.
Watch the cab the entire time....when it reaches middle watch for it to jump a little...when that happens pump quicker with it until it slows again.
Basically always "keep up" with what the fluid is doing or you will lock those dang velocity fuses in the cylinders.BigBob410, blairandgretchen and KANSAS TRANSIT Thank this. -
BigBob410, Bean Jr. and Mattflat362 Thank this.

Never ever leave it in gear put everything down on the floor and shut the doors for sure!
And get the stuff you are gonna need out so you won't have to go back down and up again. LOL.
I see very few reasons to jack past the 45 degree lock. I have though just to see it.
Don't forget to lift the lock arm when jacking it down or it will bend it.BigBob410, Oxbow, KANSAS TRANSIT and 1 other person Thank this. -
Once it comes home it will only be jacked once, cab is coming off!!! Soooo much easier to work on everything else.

Did these all have air ride front axle or just the 127" cabs?

Stretched!

Peterbilt claimed 10mpg was achieved with the 372.

Remember to secure stuff before jacking! I learned most of my curse words from my Dad when my suitcase fell out of the sleeper and cracked the front glass on his K100!
