I was quoted a new Jost 37U series fifth wheel at $3, 800. I chose the rebuild kit and overnight shipping of parts for about $600.

You're a lifesaver thanks for the information. Had a truck there was so much slop in the 5 wheel, thought the Kingpin on the trailers were going to break, drove it for a whole year complaining about it to my company I drove for. They would never fix it, the company, said I complain too much about maintenance and they fired me. So after that, they finally replaced the fifth wheel plate and rails, the mechanic for the company only put in every other nut and bolt on the fram rails, the person that drove it next was shut down by Colorado. DOT. because of the missing nuts and bolts. Wish you had made this video about a year ago. I could have killed somebody, and the company would have just blamed me. You can't put a price tag on your CDL.

Ryan, I just want to tell you your videos are as useful and topical as any I've seen on YouTube. Your content is primo. Keep it up. I'm not a trucker, but I learn about what my nephew does from you. Thanks.

Man, you guys put out lots of money! Seems like all the You Tube truckers with trucks over 600k miles are always fixing something. The expenses for being a trucker are enormous. It has to pay well. Thanks.

I like a long slide blockable 48" tall air slide. In 28yrs in a truck the above setup can pull everything. And I need 15 ft from kingpin to centerline of steer axle.
In a Small bunk Cabover.
If your pulling older trailers get a kingpin go/nogo gauge. I pull new old all the above.

I used to rebuild my Holland 5th wheels but once the slider developed a bunch of slack which can't be fixed, I just decided to shuck the whole thing, went to Kenworth and bought a brand new JOST 5th wheel and slider assembly. I love their product.

A new cusion ring and jaw is $500. You don't need to take the top plate off to rebuild the 5th wheel. In less than an hour you can rebuild that 5th wheel. Jost has made these super easy to adjust and rebuild. Save your extra money for fuel.

One more good reason to have a sliding 5th wheel is, you can get your trailer closer to the truck for better air flow / fuel mileage

Adjust the slop in the jaws with the nut on the front of the 5th wheel. Also check for solid hook up by making sure the nut is seated back against the 5th wheel. Does yours not have the adjustment rod/nut?
