    Original truck I had the knobs kept vibrating loose,my daily pretrip came to include tightening the knobs. Discovered they were vibrating loose when the knob shot off when setting the brakes. I have video of what it looks like somewhere. Kind of funny, after the initial WTH response is done. I never glued them on, but thought about it a number of times. Dab of silicone caulk inside the threads took care of it finally.

    Seen all three types. Roll pin, Set screw and the type that just screw on. The roll pin and set screw look about the same and are at base of the knob.

    Might sound silly. What brand of truck?The basic MV-2 valve look about the same if it's a fairly late model unit. Most do screw off, sometimes destroying the knob. Earlier valve were pinned/set screws. FWIW...never seen a MV-2,3,4 that didn't unscrew...but lots of things I haven't seen.
