    I was wondering if anyone can tell me what these airlines are for? there is one larger supply line i have pinched off with vice grips to allow air to build and four smaller lines. someone cut them instead of removing them properly.

    If it follows any colour coding, yellow is usually for park brake release air to the brake chambers.

    that was my first thought, but i was second guessing myself because there are 4 lines being supplied air and only one axle has parking brakes. i also considered air bags because they do not seems to be filling. the lines all shoot back towards front of truck. i will mess with it a little more and figure it out for sure but it is way to cold here right now.

    thank you

    Is this an FLD...a Columbia? No idea...what's last 6 of vin?

    Was this truck being towed or something where they needed to disable the brake cans? I'm not sure if a union right there is going to play nice if someone from DOT were to take a looksie lue at a bunch of them in one spot.
     
    062 Thanks this.

    I repaired the lines and that got the air bags, air seat, and differential lock to work. I don't understand why run the air line back and distribute to run right back into cab.
