This very well might be what has been causing that issue. I had thought about when you painted the floor, thought to myself "what if something in the seat bracket was not all the way as it should and that was causing you to feel that instability you talked about. But I'm sure the seat install after the new floor install wasn't the issue, but it did cross my mind. Anyways Bro much respect always. You definitely represent many of us who've made a long career out of this thing we call #trucking

You done great work. The slack looks excessive. I took my fifth wheel off of my peterbilt truck last year. I took it off at the frame and cleaned at the truck frame and the fifth wheel where the fifth wheel connects to the frame. Then I put all new bolts lock washers and nuts. I used all grade eight nuts bolts and lock washers. I just wanted to make sure that no rust was forming on the frame or fifth wheel area that touches the frame.

@@OTRBandit I feel your pain trying to chase a problem. I have a Freightliner that I put 2 new steering gears on, new torsion bars, new shocks Alignments etc.. I had put new drive tires after the I replaced the original steering box and they were open shoulder really deep tread Goodyears can’t remember the number but same as the tread pattern as the Yokohamas that they replaced. Figured out that my drives was walking in the wheel grooves of the road. After they got wore down some the problem went away. Make sure you keep your fifth wheel plate lubed good also that can make them drive funny. I’m sure you already knew that. Oh by the way I watched the video today of you replacing your tie rods and if you would of whacked the end of the arm that the tie rods bolt to and put a pry bar prying down they usually pop right out. Hope you find the problem. Good luck and stay safe so you can keep the videos coming. I found your channel this past weekend and binge watched them all weekend and when ever I get a chance to.

Quite possible there may not be a "real" problem, from wear... All trucks ride different depending on the build. Could have a lowly shitbox that rides and handles perfect, then go to a sharp largecar that rides and handles like a turd... Sometimes there may not be something "wrong". Can get pricy to replace things that don't need replacing. I will say that old 5th wheel setup did have a good bit of wear, but I don't see that giving a poor handling issue if plate was greased, especially when you had a load on it. Be prepared to accept it might just be the way that truck rides if all components are within specs. I have driven some fancy big trucks that did not ride or "feel" as good as a fleet Mack or dare I say a 13 letter shit spreader International... Stay strong!

Unfortunately, this fifth wheel did not fix my problem. I know exactly what do you were saying about some trucks riding crappy. But this truck just started riding crappy this year. Before it was like Cadillac.

​@@OTRBanditAhh, well that makes a difference if the ride "changed". Can you tell if it is a front susp feel or something in the ass end? I have years of big truck mechanic experience, but have been driving fuel hauling now longer than I was a mechanic, but ya never lose the skills or forget them... so far anyways, I am an old fart now!

Stuff like a handling or ride issue can be tough to get a mech or a shop to "take the time" to hear your issue, or take time needed to road test till they feel what you feel... Time is $$. If you want to explain what you are feeling or bounce ideas of what you think it might be, hit me up, may be able to steer you ( see what I did there) in a positive direction. I can give you contact info on your email if you want... no pressure. Btw, my wife and son like your vids!
