I have a 98 century class with a meritor that's the brand on the stick the splitter started acting weird. at first it would give me a hard time trying to go back on low speeds the problem has gotten worse. I was coming down to Florida half loaded and going through scales a couple times I had to stop and then, to put the truck on gear again, I would have to start up on high gears. It would make that characteristic noise of when you try to force high gears into lows or viceversa once it reaches full speed the problem seems to be gone but it would come back anytime without following any particular patterns
Now I'm empty and when I stop at a traffic light or something I can hear the splitter is getting engaged and disengaged by itself.
While I'm waiting for my trailer to get fixed I'll be going to the Mechanic today but I'd like to have an idea of what are the most common diagnoses to spliter problems and prices of parts
Thanks for reading and for your opinions

This starts happening when there is alot of water in the air system.

So are your straps inside or outside of the rubrail?

You May want to check your air dryer filter the new ones cost around $75 It's located near your air tanks at the bottom of the truck and looks like s fuel or oil filter
DON'T TAKE IT OUT BEFORE DRAINING ALL THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM OR JUST HAVE QUALIFIED Mechanic do it -
Take the top off the shifter and oil it also.

I've had a similar problem and it was transmission lube oil getting past a bad gasket and into the air cylinder. Is there an oily film on or around your shifter?
