Lesson in toter

When leaving Houston Sunday, I engaged the air system only to hear an air leak in the lower dash. The system would not work properly hence no brakes etc. I removed the lower dash and discovered an air manifold system with five sending units. Air was coming out of the wires on one of the senders. I left the rig at the track and returned the next day with a complete set of air switches. Total cost for a Freightliner set was $27. Replaced the unit and was on my way. I recommend going to your dealership with your vin and keeping a set on board. Parts guy said they break all the time. FYI Good luck

It's something every trip. Not for the "weak and the weary"!!!

Trying to give others an idea of what to look for.

Look something like this?
