Another day another question ![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So the more I drive my new M35A3 the more I would Like to know. So today I was looking over the air brake system and noted a few items.
First I noticed that I would turn the truck off at 120PSI and I would still hear air leaking near the dryer (at least I think thats where its coming from). Then after a few seconds it makes a sharp suction sound (valve closing) but I can still hear air. Thoughts?
Second item- Im assuming that in a perfect truck if you shut the truck off at 120PSI that it should remain there. I can shut the truck off and then a little over a day when I go back out and start up the buzzer is going off.
It seems to leak till around 90PSI then a slower leak starts till it gets to 0PSI.
Im attaching a video maybe you guys can chime in some more info!
Thanks!!
