Swiss and I installed a rebuilt air compressor on his "RESTORED" m62, (the old one made more oil then air), got everything hooked up, fired up, made air, more then the old "RESTORED" one, but not a lot. Did not here/see any major air leaks, any thoughts on this or where to look, we are going to hook up his electric air compressor so we can listen for leaks without the engine noise, thanks

73 the air hose hook ups are in the truck for the afternoon! Hoping for safe travels back from Florida in the am and recovery at 3D's. The hubs were a little hot coming back from Orlando today.

FOUND the Problem

After getting 120 psi into the system via the aircompressor the Massive air leaks on the back winch tension controls, airpack connection, and horn were very relavant and loud. :) Was tightening lines and replacing hoses all night. i was able to hold 100 psi with the engine running. Leak down time looks like 4 hours at the moment. I need to plug the horn line and then start my search again but am making headway.

The sound of the airpack on the brakes is so refreshing to hear!
