Popular Post RowdyRebel Posted July 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2014 EVERY truck ought to have a quick-connect hooked up to supply air to the tanks. Make up an adapter w/ 2 male fittings with a valve in between so you can plug into "shop" air...saves having to fire up the truck and run it to build air to release the brakes/air up the suspension/whatever else needs being done with air...just plug in and open the valve. Also, if the truck stalls out, it makes supplying air to release the brakes and pull you out of the way simple and pain free. I think it's ridiculous NOT to have a quick-connect somewhere on the tank...not to mention, throw an air drill, air cut-off, 1/2" impact, air ratchet, etc. in the tool box to make those quick roadside repairs go by that much quicker... 4 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

j hancock Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Looks good from my house.I used a "male end" with a valve. Had a "female" on and even with a hobby truck the slide collar and the small balls got corroded and didn't plug in after a while. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

RowdyRebel Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just give 'er a good spray w/ lubricating oil when you grease the truck and it won't do that...

eddeere Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 AYE. Have one on my Freightliner factory installed. Handy for airing up tires on farm tractors trailers, and what ever. Kept air on the brakes when the truck had to be towed. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36233-idea-rip-off/#findComment-251553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I plumbed my Superliner with a Schrader Valve. A clip on air chuck and shop air if you want it aired up in the shop without starting it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36233-idea-rip-off/#findComment-251626 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas farmer Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 We actually carry these glad hands in all our trucks then we can hook up to anybody's air line and you don't have to worry about having the right coupler in case you are helping someone out. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36233-idea-rip-off/#findComment-251831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Had a truck that had a small coiled air line hooked to the seat with a blower tip to clean out the cab worked good. 1 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
