    I don't say this much but his concern would be finding other work, it seems HE ISNT LISTENING TO THE ADVICE TO GO BACK TO THE SHOP AND GET IT FIXED.

    I did listen actually. The shop was able to replace leveling valve. The brakes are within spec.
    I meant the tandems wouldn’t slide easily, I had to lock the drives together and the transmission was still screaming with the trailer tires sliding a bit

    I’m not going to do something that will hit my csa points. I said the air bags were inflated but the height was low. It’s only an inch higher now.

    Did tandems get slid?
    Spray with wd40, or dish soap.
