  1. Ok so what do I need to do to fix it?
  2. Well I got all the air lines cleaned out and it makes 120 psi, but I’ve got a new problem. When pressing down on the brake pedal, there is air shooting out of what looks to be an exhaust for the air brakes. There are two of them but only one is spewing air. I can provide a picture if needed.
  3. I hadn’t thought of pumping up the tank with shop air. I’ll try that when I get off work!
  4. Yes it is a 500 pump. It does not have an air dryer.
  5. I’d assume it’s reading correctly because I have no brakes. Also, if it has an air dryer, I can’t find it. This is my first B-model restoration. I’m a wiz with engines and transmissions. I know the basic principles of air brakes, but I’ve never had to work on them before so I’ll admit I’m a little out of my league.
  6. About 1 1/2 in circle. The compressor was blowing well it seems. That’s what’s throwing me off. It gets air to the tank, governor, and toggle switch well. As soon as you turn it off, it’s dead quiet. No leaks.
  7. So would it be beneficial to check the intake for any trash, gunk, etc? The truck has not been on the road since 1997. Also, Onyx, I did the little test you recommended and it’s not blowing as much oil as I originally thought. It’s still probably a more than ideal amount though.
  8. I think you may be on to something. There is a small amount of oil coming from the lines but the compressor does pump air. Where would be a good place to get it rebuilt?
  9. Hey everyone. I just purchased a 58 B61 about a week ago. I’m having some issues with the air system. It will only build up to about 20 psi. There are no audible leaks in the system. I replaced the air governor, but no change. I drained the air tank and it had a lot of water and sludge in it. I’m no genius with air brakes so any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
