    The best way to isolate your problem is to leave the truck outside a shop on a figid night. Then have a mechanic to first thing in the morning refill the resevoir and pressure test it. Simple, quick, and usually shows the leak source.

    Why worry too much about it? From what I hear TMC was supposed to close the doors on 1-31...........
    Maybe that's just a rumor though? Not sure, heard it from a relyable source though.

    No TMC is not shutting down. Those rumors about TMC closing down have been going on for years. I wouldn't be sad to see TMC shut down myself. It would be another rate killer out of business.

    If you pull into a Scale and request an Inspection and tell them you will get fired if the company knows you requested, they won't make any note of your request. But otherwise: "Safety" cannot make you pay the fine. NOR can they discipline you in any manner.
    If they do, file a complaint against them with your States Dept. of Labor.
     
    Double L Thanks this.

    Maybe it is just me, but I think the last thing I would do is to request an inspection at a weigh station. Others have pointed out, you might get more than you bargained for by doing this stunt. All you need is some DOT guy that see you as some sort of spineless rat trying to stick it to his employer. He in turn might start looking at all your mess and end up sticking it to you. To me it is like going to the IRS with your pay stubs and complaining about your employers payment scheme..........watch out!
