If you just need air use the glad hand on the back of the truck. You can get the air hose at any truck stop store.

well today i decided i hate crawling under my truck to drain the air tanks so i did some thinking.
The center of the new drain valve is about 2 inches further under the truck. I see no gain there.


On most of my trucks, I have added a 2.5" long, 1/2-20 bolt to the drain valve handle. This makes it much easier to rotate.

actually i don't have to crawl under the truck now today i tap both tanks to one valve that i can reach by just crouching and not getting my a** or back dirty. my truck for some reason doesn't have that valve under the dash someone must have taken it out before i bought it. and i'm pretty happy with this set up probably will buy a cable petcock in the near future but for now she works and holds air for over 24 hours.

dog there is a gain though the valve it self is farther back the lever is a couple inches farther out. also its bigger and lower than than frame... thus easier to get at. also capital isn't capitalized in capital letters because its an adjective[thumbzup](i thank you for your concern though). plus i wouldn't go to NASA tho to get help anyways seeing as most of them just lost their jobs.
