    my truck was always avery hard stoping truck.I was very unhappy to take my test as the truck would not stop for anything.today I wanted to fix my brakes at all cost I knew i need better brakes to pass the cdl test.I was justing looking at the truck after i shut it off.i heared this leak on the comprasser feed line to the tanks i start massing with it and it ends up to be a big fanger size hole in this hose going to my air tank.i think great this is going to cost alot I call kenworth up give them my vin and they say its 58.35 Im like are you sure that the 4foot on 7/8" feed line and they told me yes i took my old line in with to be sure as shocked as i was it was the right line.not only was it a cheap fix it made my braking 10x better im very happy to drive the truck now it alot of fun to drive now.no more scary thoughs of will it stop or not well that all guys jsut wanted to let this out im very happy with my truck now

    always a good deal when it is simple and cheap. saves the wallet and warms the soul.

    what do you use that little t300 for? how is it set up?

    and good luck on your test.

    I hope you are not hauling flamable fuel or anything for that matter. Why were you driving a truck you may not be able to stop? Sounds like you still have an air leak. Maybe, your new hose,or bad brake chamber,Who knows? Do yourself and the public a favor and get that truck looked at. Expecially if your hauling a hazardous load.
