    Most TA's have the fitting to bypass it, all you need are 2 decent sized adjustable wrenches to get it done. I had mine delivered by another prime driver.

    They tried bypassing it, found an issue with the governor, and a crap load of water in the tanks (which i havent seen my trainer pull the cables to dump the water...ever, so that explains alot) they found a dryer (something with a valve on the dryer causing air to build, but at a rate of like 10 psi in five minutes) and a governor at the frieghtliner, so they are going to send some one for it when they get a chance, till they get it fixed and us back under a load, were staying in the red roof inn across the street, should be done tomorrow unless they find another issue

    You need to drain the air tanks daily on the new trucks. Water gets in the air system (you found out about that,) but it gets worse. The air is used in the DEF system... if water gets in the urea (DEF fluid) it will start crystalizing urea in the tubes used to deliver it to the catalytic converter in the exhaust system. That my friend, is muy expensive to fix.

    Another benefit is you won't have frozen air brakes in the winter.

    WallyWorld in Murfreesburo TN... mostly because everything is slammed early in this part of the world.

    I don't have a clue what he's telling you, and frankly, I don't care. I find that information from him is like playing telephone in kindergarten.

    On another note, I am curious as to why you're so interested in me all the sudden.

    Waiting to unload at my 90. Several trucks in line. I was able to completely vacuum the inside of the truck, dust the dashboard, and clean the nose prints from my dog off my windows!

    Just outside of Baltimore
