Once a year I do a under chassis audit from a pit on my MH with a Freightliner chassis.
Did you make your own pit? I sure wish I had one, but I'm afraid it would get full of rattlesnakes.
When I worked at the bus company, we had pits as well as lifts. I did a lot of work from the pits, and they sure made it easier than crawling under the coaches!
We have a farm shop with a pit. It sure makes it easy to do a lube job, changing the air brakes filter, and doing a visual inspection. I found a radiator hose that was rubbing on the frame, no damage but I insert a piece of rubber between the two.Without the pit I probably would not have noticed the hole in the inner cooler tube. By the way Freightliner has that tube as special order. They should have used better material as it's subject to corrosion. I had a diesel shop make me one.
