Loud air leak in middle of the country
The family and I went to Alcoa, Tennessee for Thanksgiving this year. On the way out from California, around Oklahoma, I discovered an obviously loud air leak around the drive axel during my morning check of the tires. Discovered probably isn’t right… I’d had to have been deaf not to hear it.
Sorta makes you worry. So, I got in, checked the gauges and you could see the AUX gauge cycling up and down. Not super fast… but it was happening. I also figured out that the air would stop if I engaged the level low system. The Primary and Secondary air wasn’t leaking… it was coming out the the aux. So I decided it’d be OK to get back on the road and keep a hawkeye on the gauges.
We called Jeff at ETLC and he fit us in Tuesday morning when we got there. A norgren valve later we are all set.
His parking lot was full of busses – so it’s good to know that Jeff will go the extra to make sure you can get taken care of when your traveling.
Our trip back home was uneventful – except for the dust storm in the dessert. WOW – that was an experience.
