Air compressor stopped working. Where's the nozzle that lets you manually blow air into the tanks?

    I just need to lift my brakes to make it a Mile down the road so it should only take about ten minutes. I did a innertube for my little cousin one time in under 5 minutes.

    Right here on the frame rail on the driver side. You need the right adaptor but the back side is usually push lock so you can disconnect it and splice into the line. It should fill both tanks.

    If the air compressor quit working there is no air to blow into the tanks.

    Might be able to connect your redline to a second trucks redline.

    Both trucks release trailer brake valves and 2nd truck , while running, should be able to fill both trucks tanks as one closed system

    Sorry, I couldn't help myself. This is the only manual inflation valve I could think of.
