[@billmolina1627]

Francisco I have a question regarding the rack & pinions that came on the 2006 Columbias

[@Mr.OG_389]

Duro mi broder 🦾🦾🦾

[@elijahrose7913]

I need to show up at a weight station and ask them to do an inspection. I need to be shutdown so that my company replaces the steering gear box

[@ric-kx6br]

bro !!! Company I'm at gave me so much shit cause I kept mentioning it ! They just don't want to spend money

[@elijahrose7913]

@@ric-kx6br I walked away from my local job. Got into argument with the boss man about my safety. I went back OTR leasing. I like it better that way because if I have an issue with the truck then I can fix it without anyone's permission. A&A Express. Only 6mo experience required. I've already made a 3k paycheck on my 2nd week of work.

[@TATEXPRESSINC]

I love the video

[@bodanlunny1323]

Bon information

[@SubaruWRXStiYamahaR6-AllGone]

What if the play is between the steering wheel and firewall? Can I tighten or do I need to replace parts usually?

[@americanbullylife9506]

Francisco how doy you know when the drag link is bad and needs to be replace thanks

[@zra4ok1977]

Thanks Sir

[@quocbinhduongnt8646]

Thanks bro

[@imadahmmad1965]

Thanks

[@carlosvelarde4753]

Francisco thank you for the video. I have a similar steering system. I lifted the front end suspension of my Cascadia because I converted my truck into a to a Dump Truck. Now my steering wheel wheel is not level. It ia now steaight when it is at 10 & 4 o’clock. How should thia be corrected?

[@jameswilridge8385]

thank you so much

[@eyuelt4797]

What do you think if you hear noise when you turn to the right side only?

[@earlpolk7436]

Hey, on an International 4300, is the steering wheel straightened from form the steering wheel or from underneath the truck?

[@garnetbendles7227]

I have a sterring problem with my freightliner xlassic where ate you located....no one has been able to fix the issue not sure but it feels so tight over steers extremely dangerous

[@cic-jakevanddalgeemyers.2739]

My appreciation..

[@1HSYURIDIA]

My truck exact same is leaking right from bottle small bolt, due to hit something with tire. Can I just remove that bottle bolt and might be any oring seal that can be replaced to stop leak??

[@becauseyoucan2171]

My drag link had slop in it, but I bought a power steering because I could hear the pump noise when turning the wheel. Not fully a waste. I'll keep the pump for later, but if like to have kept the pump cost instead

[@unbroken2466]

Francisco where ur shop located

[@luismartines2471]

My truck goes to the right. Mechanics say the alignment is good. You think it could be the steering box ?

[@billywilliams7881]

Francisco how do I check my Drag Link?? because I been driving my truck for two years with the Drag link put on backwards and just found out from a mechanic? My mechanic put it back on the right way but it feels like it has play when I hold on too it and push forward is that normal?

[@terrellscaife2411]

So what kind of engine does your truck have

[@octaviovazquez3215]

Saludos Mr Frank espero no verlo pronto jaha es decir q no me falle el animal

[@Truckergregg]

Do you do pre-purchase inspections?

[@crystalhazer7246]

He does that sometimes.

[@jamessisco7448]

I have 2015 freightliner cascadia dd13 and this is what my truck is doing I’m constantly moving the steering wheel left to right to keep it strait.

[@Delahoz-Deivy]

Buen day Hermano. Tengo un 2017 international prost. Donde esta ese tornillo Para ajustar el mio. Muchas gracias 🙏

[@Delahoz-Deivy]

Si tines algun video o puedes hacer uno explicando como ajustar la caja

[@deepaulakh8236]

I got t800 drag link touch tire when turning left right any solutions

[@zokirjonsultonov2582]

👍

[@creoleking6658]

What would cause a hard pull to the right, but even wear on my steer tires?

[@Livefree902]

Same here,even after alignment

[@mahdeal]

If the alignment is done properly and still pulling to one side then your steering box most likely needs to be replaced. But before doing it check all the bushings, condition of each parts of steering assembly. It might be just one bushings or rod needed to be replaced

[@renemarrufo7536]

did you ever found the problem ? I have the same issue.

[@creoleking6658]

@@renemarrufo7536 no sir I haven't

[@ErickRodriguez-cu6bz]

I replace the drag link, the pitman arm and the gearbox and I still have some play . What can I do next ?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Check you draglink and tie rod ends

[@robertrobinson7368]

If you hear &feel a clunk clunk when rocking the steering wheel back & forth with the motor off then you most likely have a bad u-joint in one of the steering column shafts . Some you can replace others are welded in &you half to replace the whole shaft.

[@e_productions]

Is their way to adjust gear box?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

It is just the bolt, it was not tight enough.

[@nunez23j1]

Yes, in the back of the steering box there’s a nut and flat head screw. You can access it through a small round hole in the frame rail.

[@s.e.t995]

Hey man thank you for the videos. can you help me man having a problem with 2012 Freightliner Cascadia the steering wheel, shakes and vibrate in high speed. When speed between 40-55 only and it stops and everything's normal, you know what causes them. Thank you.

[@franciscoamayaYT]

Maybe you have a bad rims or tires or bad drums

[@pericochief]

Hello Fransisco, I have a question mi truck's steering column doesn't tilt, can I replace it with a steering column that does? Thank you

[@franciscoamayaYT]

I am pretty sure you can. They usually have the same mounting points

[@jaimecruz5367]

Que es eso que tiene el steering wheel Francisco??

[@jaimecruz5367]

Cual es el problema?

[@franciscoamayaYT]

El pitman arm estaba flojo

[@LuisVazquez-cv2ku]

Yes I got same problem. I think my bolt is bad keep losing

[@martinsolis9671]

Yeah, but now either the Pittman arm or the gearbox are screw off

[@user-vu5pw4nu5d]

hubiera Sido un excelente video si lo hubieras enseñado paso a paso

[@raysoicey]

Okay my African brother

[@JPS2151988]

I try telling my company my freight liner leans, vibrates and I battle the steering wheel everyday. They think I’m paranoid

[@Truckergregg]

Time to find a new company that takes safety seriously

[@barryscarlett462]

Replace the bolt .it be worn

[@arturovillalba7948]
