That Ol"girl deserves a good later model cut off suspension bolted back under her. It's prolly cheaper than just what that suspension needs in parts.Those logging roads are hard on a trucks suspension.. But if anyone can get her right again, it's you brother.

I agree! Thinking 🤔 it’s better to do a cut off then bolt up a better suspension on “Black Betty”, James. Hope you get to feeling well. Have some of those days myself off & on sir. Another great 👍 video.

Gday James I just found your channel and watched your last few trucking videos and subscribed because of your passion, mechanical ability and knowledge. Then I was shocked looking back through previous videos to discover that you were an international Pilot flying 777's, ! I would Never expect a Pilot to even contemplate working on old trucks, these two lines of work are chalk and cheese, I take my hat off to you Sir. Really glad I found your channel and have a lot of catching up to do Best Wishes from Tasmania

Good day to you and the family of GIRLS(trucks)! I like to see these improvements to worn out suspensions. It’s interesting because I like to see & take things apart. Of course, the placing new parts back on a project is also quite satisfying. Thank you for sharing the junk removal in Betty’s trunk!

Hahah sure am

wow.....the rear of that truck is a "soup sandwich!" i see thousands in parts just to have an outdated set up. you know my vote. cut it off and put a low mile late model cut off on with disc brake setup. or buy the cutoff and just transfer the suspension and axles to your frame. either way will increase value, ride, dependability and longevity instead of spending money on parts for an outdated worn out suspension. just my two cents.

Hi James and Jessica boy that looked like a lot of work. Not sure how much all those pieces would cost. At least they should still be available. That looks to be a Hendrickson suspension. Hopefully you’ll be able to save it. Always heard those were a good riding tough suspension. Stay safe

I can’t remember what I said there I’ll have to rewatch but I put a new calibration on the ecm and my factory password generator wouldn’t give me a solution so the truck would start and idle only.
