Please help! Air brake leak detection / Service Center

Climb under there with a spray bottle of soapy water and start spraying.

 

You can smoke machine it but I would charge someone a fortune to do that. Your best bet is climbing under it with soapy water after the system is pressurized.

 

Any truck repair facility should be able to find a air leak ... google truck repair near me and make a few calls . It will be Your easiest solution

 

Yup. Spray bottle of soapy water and a good set of ears. Don't need any fancy equipment. Not even sure there is even such a thing as an air brake leak detector?

 

Who is the manufacturer? They may have a list of service centers or a toll free number in the owners manual.

The T/A, petro and loves truck stops do limited work on RV’s

Truck dealers, like Freightliner do service work as well.

You may be able to search your local area on google, to find a location of one of these types of facilities.

 

I have hooked my smoke machine I use to find intake/turbo/emissions leaks to air brakes before. It takes forever to fill the system and a ton of fog juice so it would be super expensive.

 

It is like looking for an air leak in a tire for a small leak so yes the spray bottle of soapy water is what you are going to pay a tech $90 an hour to use. You can usually hear a leak though and the most common place for a leak would be the fittings.

All that being said, any truck service center with a mechanic can probably fix it. I would see if you can find the leak first before opening your wallet.

 

Thats how we did it.

Under there you go. Start spritzing. Mr Bubble will tell you where it's at.

Once you find Mr Leak and learn the affected part/system component etc you will understand the situation better.

Our dear engineers spend time running hoses and building trucks to dazzle our minds. But they over think everything and you fall back to very extreme simple stuff to find Mr Leak.

If you do Find Mr Leak, take pictures. Put em up and if there is something to be done...
