Ossablt Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Can anyone help me identify these air valves & components? I would like to know if they are factory items and what their function is? I also have a bracket on the crossmember behind the cab that I would like to know what is for.

Mike Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 To really know for sure you would have to locate the person you purchased the truck from since alot of these air valves have been updated to the newer versions. As for the bracket, anybody's guess. If it's not rubbing on any moving mass then, it's your option to leave it on or take it off. Like Packer said, the Bendix site is a great resource. Most of these trucks valves have to be traced to get to the problem. Maybe someone else can explain this better.Regardsmike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/8283-b-61-air-valves-frame-bracket/#findComment-30612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Packer,Might won't to stay ahead of the game before they leave no forwarding address. Anyway we all have part interest in it now. I laid claim to the engine. By the way, don't ever sweat the small stuff. And for the big stuff, their ain't no big stuff. Think positive, you are only the BIG STUFF!!!!!
