Wrenching in the Newell Coach Factory Parking Lot! (Found More Paint Scheme History)

What happens here

After successfully installing and securing the new air springs, the presenter prepares to finalize the installation by connecting the top fittings. He mentions using pipe thread sealant to ensure a leak-free connection for these pneumatic fittings. The final steps involve airing up the suspension system to its proper pressure and then meticulously checking all new connections for any leaks. He also briefly discusses future maintenance plans, including an oil change and filter replacement, noting the availability of service pits at the facility for these tasks.

Goal: Complete the air spring installation and ensure a leak-free system

Tools and materials

  • Air Compressor — Inflating the newly installed air springs
  • Leak Detection Spray — Checking for leaks in the air connections
  • Pipe Thread Sealant — Ensuring leak-free pneumatic connections

reach the hose because it's really short hose like i almost need to make it as tight as i can and then get a long hose that wraps around the thingy instead of just because it doesn't line up right i don't know i'm probably overthinking it it's probably tight enough because once that pipe dope dries up a little bit it won't be as lubricated as it is now not that it's loose it's just by my definition of loose is that it's not extremely tight because i've said it before i over tighten the crap out of everything so i'm over speculating here let's get this jacked up get this show on the road someday when i'm pulling out of here with a brand new one of these that i configured myself i'll point to this spot right here they're like yeah i changed the bags of mine with hand tools when i was 24 in that spot and now i'm driving out of here with a new one and i'll probably go back to this clip because youtube will be there forever and pull that out and say you know what i told you i was gonna do that i'm gonna do it and if me saying stuff like this bothers you don't listen to me you can leave because if you don't have that mindset you shouldn't really be here so you can see it's just starting to peek out i gotta pump it a little bit more it'll pop through same thing with the other side got the two bottom bolts on uh i was gonna film some of that but uh i kind of peeked my head under there to see if i could see the threads i'm like i could reach it i'm like i'm already threading on i'm just gonna put it on and then i was like i could scoot a little more and i could reach the other one and i just so i just did it it's done now uh one i lost my phone i don't know where i put it gotta find that two go inside fire it up for a minute that'll build some air but not try to take it off the jack stand just put air in the bags and see if it leaks let's finish inspection um i don't hear anything i can't feel anything before i do any of that though i gotta put a bunch of these tools back because a lot of them some of them are mine a handful of them a lot of like the specialty ones um are theirs so i gotta go put those back in there which is pretty freaking awesome pretty awesome they let me do this really like i could have been fighting with like the only wrench i had or that like you know keith had something back at the shop and it would take me way longer but these guys are like you know oh i use this thingy for that you want this this makes it easier to do here you go and i…
