    Separate tractor and trailer first and see if it stays up. I mean don't park trailer charged.

    Mine has been doing it a little longer, but not much. It seems the cold exacerbated it.

    They definitely show up more in the cold. Air leaking out causes system to operate more and cause more moisture to build up. This is why trucks with leaks freeze up more often.

    If you have any of the fabric lines still that Pete used to use. I would be squirting them first.

    @Rugerfan I'm not familiar with a 2020 Pete. But I'd bet air fittings are push connectors and some are leaking. Start with soapy water and a quiet area.

    Pretty much every original line, fuel and air, have been replaced. I will give it another good look before I start squirting though.

    If you can't hear it, time to soap it down. 28 years. Some lines may need replaced a second time. Fabric fuel lines need changed ever 7 years.


    My next set of fuel lines will be plastic like the newer trucks.
