Anyone have any Idea’s on what else on brake system I should look out for ?
Thanks
How's the air system? Are there any audible leaks? Are the tanks still strong? Do the tank drains work? How is the overpressure safety valve? Is the air gauge and low pressure buzzer functional?

EDIT: Added buzzer and gauge

Thanks :: I sprayed the pectcocks with PBBlaster. Haven’t tried to loosen them yet. Gonna spray again. Do not hear any air leak as yet. I run Her for 40 minutes every 10-12 days. I ease Her out trying not to step on brake. I use parking brake to stop. But Air pressure always at zero after sitting for those days. I listen to buzzer a bit then ease her out after start up then air system gets charged up quick.
Now I’m gonna have to look into the over pressure safety valve. Didn’t know about it. Thanks for Bringing it up. 👍🏼
Thanks
