Do you have newer built tires? or just brave? I have not tried to air mine down as my build date tires are old. I believe btwn 1999 and 2007.
Mine are dated 2012 if I remember correctly. So not nessesarily new anymore but newer at least. I air up and down often and never had an issue yet...

Since I replied to the wrong post, I'll repost here. I have a truck, but I am in desperate need of some manuals. I also have a few questions about some updates I'm wanting to do. Hope to talk soon. My email is jginn@otmcyber.com
As others have said, manuals cannot be posted on this site. They are out there though. If you post a specific question someone may be able to help.

I replied to you today.
I have a 2001 MK23 that seems to take forever to build up pressure to release the brakes, I think I have a couple things going on between a bad air dryer and a weak air compressor from the engine as well as 1 of the rear wheels brakes seems to stick when the others release.

Is it possible to get your opinion and perhaps the part numbers to troubleshoot the brake system? I need to rebuild the air dryer because the valve sticks open, but bypassing the air dryer as a test it still is slow to build pressure.

My email is *redacted* if you happen to have a napkin drawn diagram of where I should look.

How long is "forever"? It takes a few minutes. There are different cans for all 3 axles, so some more info would help. The brakes on these are nothing out of the norm, rears are s-cam. Some youtube will help in understanding their function. If you find a bad part, someone can likely pull the part number info if it's not already labeled on the part.

They never unlock unless I bypass the aftercooler then it takes about 20 minutes. I need to rebuild the aftercooler but seeing conflicting part numbers for the media that goes inside, is it the RN60A or RN60V?

Sorry I am new to these trucks, I was a pilot until I had to medically retire from the military so trying to learn and enjoy the hobby. I will brush up on some more youtube videos and see if I can figure it out. Thanks!

I'm working through a cheap way through that issue. PM me if you are interested in more info otherwise.
I tried to PM but it only allows me to PM a Staff Member Patracy for some reason, but I am interested. Is there a minimum post count to unlock PMs. I would post my email but it keeps getting redacted.

Its for your own good. Putting your email in here is not a real good idea. There are people who look for the opportunity to do you wrong, when they can find your email. Perhaps you might need to peruse the Forum rules?

Thanks. I went back and re-read them.
