Yes, got that. Someone else informed a few weeks ago. As a noob I was confused by the stenciled labels. The AOH pump is now off, the ABS Box is still there, but there's an ABS dash trouble light, so that's one more thing to chase when I get the truck ready to drive I'll eventually move the...

If you affix the new air filter to the habitat, what happens when the habitat and chassis go in different directions, because of chassis flex? Flex tube somewhere in air inlet tube length? I haven't got down to the air lift arch yet and haven't decided on the position of the filter. If the...

Yes, I got it. Donaldson calls it scavage

So that's a scavenge hose. I did a quick google: https://redekopmfg.com/what-is-an-exhaust-scavenger-port/ Looking at the Donaldson Powercore PSD specs here...

On my 1088 there's a tube, maybe 1.75 or 2 inches in diameter that runs from the air filter to the exhaust pipe. In the Donaldson literature, there are notes about "scavenge", which apparently improves performance. Is that flexible tube that goes to the exhaust pipe "scavenge"?

Small progress today. One of the air fittings hasn't arrived, so I worked on removing the AOH pump and the spare tire lift. One bolt removed from the spare tire lift, 4 bolts removed holding the AOH pump. All 5 bolts very annoying to remove, difficult to get the wrench on the nuts. But a...

I think the missing 4th air hose from the manifold is the hose that went to the AOH Pump, which is now completely naked without hydraulic or air hose attached. I disconnected that several weeks ago, so memory faded, but that must be the one that's gone. So I'm thinking that the 1/4 inch tube...

I'm learning a little about pneumatic switches. The "P" port is Pressure Inlet. The "A" port is Pressure Out. The "R" port is Pressure Release. I'm guessing that one of the 1/8" lines is Pressure In and the other is Pressure Release. Now how to sort out which one is which? Absent better...

It must be the one from the remote control valve, since the AOH pump is gone and the air springs work when I depress the knob on the manifold I'm thinking that I should cap the line from the remote control valve, until I can delete it

I've only got 3 air lines on the manifold now and the air springs do go up and down. If there should be 4 air lines, then I may have disconnected the 4th one a few weeks ago, I'll go looking for it in the morning. If/when I find the 4th line, what should I do with it?

My air springs and bushings apparently need attention, but meanwhile I'm working to delete things I don't want or need. I've got the hydraulic lines off of the cab lift / spare tire lift manifold. The 3 lines that are left are the 3 air lines for the air springs. I'd like to get them off and...

The arch is really pretty loose and does not sit up straight. So I'm thinking you're on target that the shock bushings are dead. One more thing to replace . . .

I got the truck out of the garage today. The brakes felt better. I've got all the sand out of two brakes . . . 4 more to go . . . but it already feels better. In the ongoing effort to remove the spare tire lift, I removed the hydraulic lines from the manifold to the kneeling cylinders. 6...

I may have figured out what went wrong. It's what I call a "stupid user error". Me being the stupid user I am learning . . . slowly. Today I was putting the brake back together with the old adjuster, which seemed to be working fine. I had the drum on and was starting to adjust them to 30...

I thought of that as well, but when I caged the canister, the shoe was TIGHT to the drum and the actuator was extended a lot, not where I believe I put it yesterday. So I don't think it is a park air issue. At this point, I have no idea what happened. I suppose it's possible that I somehow...
