Maybe Farley is getting ready for the next chapter in his career...

You say that like I had a choice in getting it or not. As a productive member of society, now over age 65, I earned the right to be on Medicare. Municipal services are also social programs, but they make sense from a funding standpoint. Without pooling their resources by taxes, the citizenry could not have police and fire protection, streets and roads, parks, libraries, schools or many other programs that benefit the entire community. Apparently you missed the whole point of my comment, that the insurance companies would have profited over #30,000 in six years on just two people, using that money to cover the cost of free, or almost free, healthcare to people too sorry to get a job and pay for their own. That's the kind of socialism I have a problem with. Four generations of one family living in project housing and NONE of them has ever been employed a day in their life. Yet the cars in the driveway are nicer/newer than the ones my wife and I drive!

Medicare. That’s socialized medicine.

Yep Joey I think the cluster is messed up I was sitting at the red light and looked down and the speedometer was pegged out

Thank You Brocky , I’ll tell him in the morning that you approved! I’ve had him helping on a Monte Carlo SS project in the basement on cold evenings.

Read the instructions! You have to remove the existing check valve on the inlet of the secondary tank and replace with the valve provided. IT MUST be able to take air from the secondary tank back to the drier on purge to regenerate the drier bed. If there is some part you don't understand, post your question and I will try to help. I don't like these external purge volume driers. Too easy to be installed wrong or for the valve to fail. Internal purge driers like the AD-2, AD-4 and AD-9 don't need external source of air volume to purge the drier and regenerate the drier bed.

I did install it between the dryer and the wet tank MY MISTAKE. I misunderstood the directions. I will have to move it to the secondary tank tomorrow.

Ok, did you place it where they tell you in the instructions? It needs to be after the wet tank, in the line to the secondary tank. The original check valve in the secondary tank HAS to be removed and replaced with the valve provided. Anything less and there will not be enough purge air to correctly regenerate the drier bed. This is one of the reasons I don't like external purge driers. Too easy to install wrong.

I put on a wabco R 955205. I just put on the pressure controlled check valve on the air tank and it solved the problem. The ad2 had it built into the dryer Thanks for the help.

Yeah, this sucks! I had great insurance through my job. They covered the cost of my premium and I paid the cost for my wife's premium, about $500/month, with a $1500 deductible. I retired and stayed on the same program, but I was paying the premiums for both, about $1000/month. Then comes Obamacare. Employer switches carriers and the new one is about the same cost, but covers less. My insulin-dependent wife will now be charged $750/month for her insulin PLUS the $1000/month we already pay. I can't afford that, so we leave the employer's insurance and get a private policy from BC/BS that covers everything for $1250/month. But, BC/BS scams us and gives us the Obamacare version. The one our doctor does NOT accept! NO doctor within a hundred miles accepts it. And we're stuck with it for a year. The following year, we get BC/BS straightened out and things are good for a bit, but the cost increases every year. By the end of 2018, the cost has increased to $1800/month and the deductible is up to $6000. Then, BC/BS drops all private policies in Georgia. The ONLY available plans in Georgia are from Obamacare. One is the same carrier that did not cover the wife's insulin, the other was one that no local doctors accept. At that point, we became self insured. On paper, we put the $1800/month in a separate part of out bank account each month and paid all our medical expenses from that account. It was a big gamble, but we hoped our luck would continue until we were old enough for Medicare. It did! After paying all of our medical expenses from 2018 to mid-2024 out of that account, including 3 cataract surgeries and a bunch of dental work for the wife, we still had almost $30,000 in that account. Now that both of us are on Medicare, we can breathe a little easier!

I’m needing to replace the air compressor on my 2013 cxu613 mp8 pinnacle. I was wondering if there is any decent videos or guides online? I’ve found one for a 2013 CHU but wasn’t sure if everything was 100% the same?

I have two '04 CV713's and there's a strip on the right side (passenger side) of the tank you have pictured.

Dawson, You are the engineer!!!! Keep up the good work.. I hope you can go on to college and become one.. Tom Millard of Brockway restoration fame is an electrical engineer by schooling and trade.

This parallels my assumption. I imagine CVN77 is or soon will be headed across the pond. .

I always used the door handle, probably why all I ever saw was floppy . So our after school project today , take the inside pull handle off a parts truck 359 we have ,( same handle as on the side cowl of the Superliner) . Clean them up, take a trip to Ace Hardware, purchase 8 one inch counter sunk screws, ( they won’t hit anything in the window mechanism) . Swing through McDs for chicken nuggets for my helper, back to the shop, measure armrests and position handles where they don’t hit your elbow, screw in place, Done! Dawson said to show Brocky his idea.

enlarged the picture and saw the mounting bolts removed after post. possibly the manifold was in process of removal ??? this is another "but doc I don't feel good ; what's wrong"??. questions asked yet "Doctors== BMT crew" don't have ALL the particulars to the ailment.. was the manifold being removed to repair crack ???? was the shutterstat line disconnected before the issue ???

Either of these? Bendix AD-SP Meritor Air Drier

I can't help if you don't tell me what you put on! How often was it cycling BEFORE you changed the air drier? I suspect it was single check-protection valve and YES you do need it if you replace a AD-2 with an external purge volume drier. In many cases if the air drier can't keep the air free of moisture, it isn't the drier but air system problems (leaks) that keep the system compressing too much of the time.

I had a freeze up and my air operated functions were not working properly. The old style drier was outrageous price for a direct replacement. So I retrofitted a new style dryer. The new air dryer came with a new valve does that need to be installed the parts guy I bought the new dryer from said if I don’t have one now I don’t need one when I put the new dryer on. The old air dryer was an AD2. I tried to post pic but website wouldn’t let me upload pics.

Post some pics sounds like you’ve got some progress done

Looking for air throttle pedal for Mack MH or rebuild kit

Correct.

Which AD did you install? No you most likely don't need a new air gov. You likely have either not installed the correct check valve after the A/D if it is the external purge volume type. You could also have other check valve problems causing your wet tank pressure to fall off too quickly/ Why did you change? What problem were you trying to address with a new drier?

How many billions of taxed dollars are just getting thrown around and lining people‘s pockets
