Was on the highway and all of a sudden I lost air pressure. It was too noisy to detect where the leak came from, I ended up pushing the emergency button and dragged the truck out to a gas station on the side. One of my hubs was smoking because of the brake stuck down. I caged it and when I poured water to prevent a possible fire, it was crackling like crazy. I let it cool off. Then found that the valve apparently on the air dryer was not shutting and it kept spitting puffs of air down its nozzle, i performed a field repair bypassing the air drier, putting the hose directly to the wet tank and drove back home that way with air lines partially open so as not to over pressure and test the other valves. I also had to hit the brakes to keep it down a few times on the way home 5 miles away.
i do not feel like fixing the air dryer, I think it is too old with cracking plastic parts and needs replacement, or maybe you all think it can be serviced. Anyways, I think I will get a new one and maybe keep this one for parts or order a better brand, who knows. I think I also will service those hubs, especially the one that got hot. Hopefully did not do too much damage there.
