davehummell 443 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I still remember the first time i herd a truck start with air was the crazyest thing i ever heard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freightrain 2,530 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Ditto on the air start. Changed mine over a few years ago. With new air parts it holds air for 6 months with no problem. Installed an automatic oiler and now I don't have to worry about vanes drying up over winter. I also added a dual pressure gauge so I can monitor the start tank pressure.

h67st 1,256 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 My truck has air start...I love it. Saves a lot on batteries, and easier to jump start (if you got another truck or an air compressor). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scorer128 12 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 It sounds like the air stater stays. I really need to stop a few air leaks !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
