    M1078 air leak behind grill

    Just blows me away how clean under the dash is for 26 years and to have a part go bad looking that nice?? Put the origin Speedometer back in and it works. Seemed to want to top out at 55 MPH having a 3800 lb load of just water in the back. The mileage was right on too for the drive.

    M1078 air leak behind grill

    The fires(3) have my attention went from 10 to over 2000 acres plus. Bringing in the big boy to drop water with the fire close to houses now. Wanting structure protection too. Glad it has not moved closer to us just getting bigger. Figure the Air might have been leaking for a little bit just...

    M1078 air leak behind grill

    In a test just now I pushed the brake pedal harder and the air leak went quite as long as you held the pedal pushed. Once I let off it leaks again. Still OK from the fires but they found 2 more just a little bit ago from the lightning sleepers waking up. Around 2-6:00 pm will tell if they...

    M1078 air leak behind grill

    NOPE took the cover off the heater and controls and I stopped there. Bet there is nothing back there except 2 hoses? Had to put it together a wildfire broke out near us now out. Least I can drive it still the leak is not that bad and the compressor can keep ahead of it. Thinking this has to do...

    M1078 air leak behind grill

    Report so far? Checked all 3 tanks pretty even but low around 60-70 PSI what is interesting is if I watch the Cab Air Bags they lift about 1/4" then go back down while the truck is shut off? Just lifts a little and settles a little. My Tire Air System also started working again and if I remember...

    M1078 air leak behind grill

    Darn My truck just started this??? Went for a 30 mile drive after putting the old Speedometer back in and it now works right. The new Alternator solved that problem when the voltage was right. Was talking to a guy on the road while truck was running and my air buzzer came on idling? Only had...
