On the way to work this morning I suddenly lost air pressure in my right front air bag. Oops.
Fortunately I had taken the time to clearance everything last year... so it will actually roll when fully deflated (except for the 1/2" clearance of the front crossmember
). I managed to nurse it the rest of the way to work and then back home this evening by driving slow and juicing the air bag on big bumps. I've got 6 gallons of air and 2 compressors, so I had enough air to get home. Don't mind those gashes on K96 at every expansion joint
After I got home and got jacks under the truck (this is actually quite a task), I traced the problem to the 1/8" gauge line. Grrrrr! I don't have a piece long enough to replace it and wife is out of town so I'm walkin' if I don't get this thing working, so I took a spare fitting and JB Welded the orifice shut and will screw that into the valve when it dries. That way it will hold air... I just won't know air pressure for that corner-- which is no big deal.
Now to get those electric senders and digital gauge set I was planning for down the road.
