    I recently took delivery of my 2023 kenworth t680 next gen. Does anybody know an easy way to access the air tanks to drain them for this truck? The owners manual says to drain air tanks daily but doesn’t show you how to do it… go figure. I’ve been searching online but can’t find any info on it.. I can only find info for the older T680 but not the next gen. Thanks in advance.

    I believe the pull cables are up under the cab, in this area. Mine are there, on a 1st Gen. 267A7C79-9891-45A3-8D1F-F0F3206B5FA7.jpeg

    More then likely same spot as the old t680s right under the door but they are hard as heck to pull as its a very tight area.

    I confirmed, today, they are up under the cab, the same as the 1st Gen. Open the access door and they’re hanging to the rear of the opening.
