  1. I was told when taking my air brake course that good drivers use the brakes so little and lightly they can not adjust up but when stopped apply them hard to cause the adjusters to work I have done this about every 1000 miles and when I check my slack adjuster they are right on I do not know how to move the alert as my 99 FL80 does not have them
  2. Tanks should be drained daily If cables are hooked to the drain ***** yes pull one at a time
  3. Add a charging wire with a relay and auto reset circuit breaker so you are charging well traveling

  5. All the tire shops around here use cages for all large tires Road side repairs they are carefull
  6. most pumps do not have alot of lift so you could raise the hose and pour some in to prime pump then keep jug as high as you can
  7. When you get a new unit hook up four volt meters and two temp gauges. You need voltage at compressor, fan relay, change over valve and compressor contactor; and temp drop to confirm. Anyone of these can cause the problem.
  8. Check the running voltage at unit Check voltage at changeover valve as it defaults to heat Check voltage to contactor You may be getting just enough to close contactor but not enough to switch changeover valve completely some times which will cook compressor no flow no oil
  9. https://wescovan.com/traction-tire-chains/heavy-truck-chains/truck-cables list cable chains for light use as well as HD use I carried a set of triples did not need so broke down to singles now I might buy cheap cable chains to carry and hope to not need

  12. If you have the RV card it is discounted to $7.50 the last time I used one about 1 month ago but they may vary by location and if company or private operator
  13. https://www.rvdumps.com/map-of-rv-dump-stations/ This shows some of them I only see them when I donot need them will start to note how they are marked and where I see them
  14. The only problem with converted lights is they will not melt snow if you get into weather as they donot produce enough heat
  15. Just remember to leave all ball valves half open or half closed as water gets behind and can crack a valve if left open
  16. If alignment issue you could have tires trued from a retreader then re install as they will age out before wear out so you will not miss the rubber
  17. The program is set to not down shift so the motor will be over speed when shift complete so will not down shift when i hit a long hill I will select the gear to hold it after it shifts down its self
  18. In the last couple of years Pilot & Flying J are priced so high I look else where I think they discount with an amount for large trucking firms that bean counters think they are getting a better deal when they are not
  19. also check connections as loose ones will cause this
  20. Find a scale you can drive one side on to and weight both sides then one side

  22. A lot of the time the smaller station has a better price so I will give them my card and get them to start the two pumps I need to fill saddles with moving reg side to side to fill after making sure I have room and the wife watches the my back 44 ft of rig does not fit some stations
  23. I was too close to the tire rating so I when with the 275/70R22.5 with more capacity on the front now I am changing all the tires to same size as I have room and the rims are wide enough Bruce
  24. No mine was made the year after the stopped using wooden spokes
