Air psi problems

Recommended Posts

On my 89 superliner. When I first went and looked at it. It built air psi. But when it got delivered, it wouldn't build any at all. Nothing has changed. I cracked a line and you can hear air but it's not much. So I guess I wondering is there a check valve or a governer on the compressor? I know freightliners have a governer that if it goes out it won't build air. I'm not familiar with the systems. I may have looked right at it and didn't notice one. Thanks in advance for any insite.

air brake systems need to be understood before you delve into trying to fix problems shotgun style... and you need to know how to pre-trip your truck correctly even if you haven't got a CDL or equivalent...

here is some good bedtime reading, or in your favourite place of solitude ;-)
