Freightliner sucks over RR and potholes

Air ride cab?

 

Could be leave spring bushings, im having same issue in cascadia, but I’m replaced front shocks with original freightliner, Gabriel’s suck, and will replace cab shocks next week, hopefully and then leave spring bushings.

 

Did you try replacing cab mount bushings and cab shocks yet?

 

Yep, check your front cab mounts the originals don’t like rough things and like to blow out. They make an HD version. It has alittle rougher ride but they last forever. I’ve had to change all my Coronado SD’s over to the HD cause the trucks run in rough areas and the commission paid drivers just won’t slow down.

This usually starts with a loud thump (sounds like it’s coming from the driver side, but is usually the passenger side that’s out) when hitting rough stuff. I’ve never been around one that had both out. if that’s your case, I’m not sure how it will act.

 

You have to take it easy on the equipment.

The Driver absolutely decides how much damage the truck will take, if any.

 

Yep. The passenger side usually goes bad first. Due to heat from Exaust.

 

Where are those cab mount bushings located? I'm guessing there's 4 of them, one per corner?

 

Slow down ! It's a truck not an army tank .

 

Once it gets fixed I'll save the trail braking for the bike, having fun is too expensive in these things
