Jimmy Davis Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Let ne start by saying, I'm not an air brake expert by any means! Truck is 00 CH613 tri- axle tractor with a 460 & 18 speed. Not sure if the drop axle is factory or not. Problem is the tanks dont equalize at all & secondary will just keep dropping & not kick the comp on. Primary has to drop to kick it on. Also sec wont kick comp off @ 120. This is the one air prob we've not been able to fix. So far replaced foot valve, T&T park brake valve & gov. Thanks in advance!

Bistrians Billy Mack Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 This sounds like a check valve issue......Is there an air dryer on this tractor & does it purge when the compressor unloads @ 115-120 psi? Have you checked/drained all the tanks (primary & secondary) to make sure they're not full of water from condensation? If I can find my old schematics, do you have a fax # ~ I'll send them to you.Bill 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24806-tanks-not-equalizing/#findComment-116740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
