I did notice on the 2 trucks I have with this new-style Airpack, the air lines as they exist in stock form are almost impossible to get crossed up...of the 2 air lines with similar-size fittings, one is a fine-threaded compression fitting and the other is a coarse-thread flared fitting. The...

AH-HA! I FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM! I reversed the installation order of the air slave housing components. When I disassembled this one, like a dummy I was holding the housing too vertical to get the blue-anodized air slave piston out of the housing (held in with O-ring friction); when it came...

I removed the air canister from the body; there was virtually no rust and the grease was still effective for the piston. No signs of tearing or dry-rot on anything here.
