5th wheel problem?

Its not your money then even, bring it to a shop and have them take a look at it for you.

 

Write it up on your DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Report) and turn it into the shop to have it looked at.

 

u-joints?

 

I have noticed these trucks have fewer grease points as in the past, even some u joints have no zerts. Have pounded a few joints apart to find only rust inside of them cups, no rollers left.

 

Does it do it with every trailer?
I had same problem ended up beign tandem pins on the trailer were to worn out

 

If it’s a holland you loosen counter clockwise to adjust it tighter

 

That would be giving it a turn to tighten it, even though you're turning it backwards, I guess I figured it was that way on all of them not just hollands.

 

Mine does that right about time your falling asleep as air is slowing leaking down... BAM!!! Like someone slammed into rear of trailer.Its either slip in 5 th wheel or maybe one of the slip yolks is hanging up or binding. Also when Loaded heavy and come to a quick stop start moving and it pops like a axle bearing. It jerks and sounds terrible . Then goes away. Thought I had it fixed a few times after bushings and driveshafts. It’s weird

 

I’m pretty sure I read instructions correct. Holland has what looks to be a simple fool proof design.You can loosen but till washer spins a bit and be pretty close on So Ive been told.
