    Ok yeah I have the load transfer button,
    So if it gets to slipping. I should engage it?
    I just didn't understand how it worked,
    But I'm catching on now.!

    Yes. It should do it automatically. Freightliner uses Meritor ECAS. If it senses a slip, it will automatically dump at speeds of 40mph or less. You can engage yourself when you know you need it. Hook or drop a trailer, stop light on ice, sliding tandems on snow, etc.

    5 min mark.............that looks like the airdryer with the black part being the cartridge.
    Replace that cartridge at least once a year.

    Question for you.
    Have you ever scaled the drive and the dummy seperate?
    I have a gut feeling you have to much weight on the dummy.

    It might be a thing.
    Would explain why the drive loses traction so easy.
    A bad setting in your software........

    How?
    Any flatsurface scale will do.
    Weight truck
    Weight front axle
    Weight front and drive.
    Do some math.

    I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening. Your kingpin needs to be above the front axle air bag, or, if you have room, maybe a few inches forward than that.
