    Yeah, I swapped out a controller because it would not allow for deflation. Turned out the vent port on the frame was completely plugged with dead insects. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/insects-blocking-brake-vent-lines.214084/

    Anyone have picture of properly mounted air brake load sensor valve on an m1088?

    @Ronmar , if the adjustment cable were to come loose, it looks like the default condition is max braking to the rear?

    Looking to purchase a 1996 1083 and drive it 120 miles home. What could possibly go wrong?

    Is it possible to plot a course home via secondary roads? Even if nothing goes wrong mechanically, the words "travel slowly" and " Interstate" don't go together. Jack has an M221 tractor at his yard that got rear ended by a commercial truck doing 80 mph...the M221 driver did not survive.
