dozerman1 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Anyone know where I can find brass quick connect fittings for the air pressure gauge in my CH.I changed the motherboard part of gauge cluster and air leaks from fittings after I unhooked and hooked them back up.Both air lines are very loose in the fittings and will stop leaking if I put a little pressure on them.Local Mack dealer said they unavailable.Even asked if we could order a whole new gauge.Any help would be appreciated.

keg1 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If it's the fittings you just push the line into I've cut a little off the air line and it usually stops the leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozerman1 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Alex my air gauge is different.I think Mack dealer said it had newer gauge cluster like a CX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozerman1 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Keg,i tried cutting off about 2 inches and it helped but still leaked.Just wore out I guess from 15 years of bouncing around in the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If it is a compression fitting with the nut and collar you can get them at the local auto parts store in Brass nut and Brass collar or Brass nut and Nylon collar.

dozerman1 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 41Chevy,I tried going to local truck parts store and bought two fittings but they would not work.I guess fittings on back of the gauge are metric.Not sure but new fittings would not screw onto them.Anybody know if they make metric brass fittings?

41chevy Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 They may be metric ,worse comes to worst, they are available from Thompkins Industries in Charlotte N.C. but Granger, Tractor Supply or maybe Home Depot should have them. Also a foreign auto parts store or Japanese Motorcycle shop.

dozerman1 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Finally found it.Local dealer was able to get it but not just the fittings.I had to buy the whole $145.00 gauge but no air leak now.They said the truck had a newer gauge cluster and was part of the early rawhide interior.Never saw a truck that old in a rawhide edition.Oh well it's fixed.
