Did you get a tube? I’m leaving tomorrow so if I need tire tools lmk ASAP so I can load them.
I havent been able to get one, so no worries. I will have Parkhouse change the tube out in a couple weeks after I get one. Thanks I appreciate it.

My Air Dryer purge valve failed over the weekend while doing a prep/maintenance run. Fortunately I was back home when the air pressure dropped to 60 psi. Getting a service kit from Eriks Military surplus - should be a quick fix and up and running by Thursday....
Is that the thing on the bottom. ? I know if you pull the snap ring and clean it out and a bit of wd40. Will fix it

Air Compressor head gasket blew out - Truck stuck at grocery store parking lot.
No immediate source for replacement, exploring options... make a temp gasket out of a sheet of aluminum, or, curious is the compressor will work enough to get home without the gasket...
Open to suggestions on how to get THOR home

No cell reception out there man. Sorry I have zero advice. I just got back into town.

FastNova provided a great suggestion: Hook up a portable air compressor directly to the wet tank. Made the adapter, hooked up the generator: Viola - Worked Perfectly! Surprised my little Kobalt compressor could air up all the tanks and keep up while rolling down the road. Totally missed the rally, but THOR is back home. Thanks FastNova - I owe you a 36 pack when we cross paths again.
