How long does it take your truck to leak down (Air)

It’s not always leaks. The cab suspension on the trucks with the bigger cabs can eat a lot of the air out of them if it’s windy enough. Those push-pull fittings are poison though. I’m developing a great dislike of those.

 

I find it's usually brake control modules or cab levelers more than fittings.

 

Air shifted trans is a high % of mystery leaks.

 

You on the 35 end or the 78 end?

 

2020 Western Star 5700. If I pop both buttons (I usually leave air to the trailer in the winter so the brakes dont freeze up) mine will hold air for a week plus.

 

35 end,but park behind Steele.

 

I didn’t know there was a place to park over there. Just a newer neighborhood.
Tom Janoe has a storage place on his property off Tolle Rd. A stones throw from Steele. We used to farm the spot wally world is on. Cibolo valley rd was the farm house rd and 1103 was dirt all the way down to Green Mountain.

 

Janoe owned Janoe Kenworth and sold it to French Ellison. He has a nice collection of old iron and KW history hidden away in barns.

 

There’s lots of jems in barns. A couple of years ago an ‘84 K100 came out of a potato shed over on Prince Edward Island with 35,000 miles on it. Farmer bought it to go trucking and quickly made up his mind that wasn’t for him, but he wouldn’t sell the truck. Guy in Charlottetown bought it when the guys kids sold everything off after he passed.

 

On the quick connect fittings whether brass or plastic, it is important to make certain the cuts on the tubing ends are as perfectly square as you can get em.
