Break Buddy
When I plug the break Buddy into the toad, it usually takes 2 or 3 minutes to pump up. This time it ran for 20 minutes with out building pressure. can't hear any air leaks. Any suggestions as to the problem.

- In my opinion, y'all should look into SMI Manufacturing.
The Warranty on all their systems covers shipping for the 1st year and they have a plan called SMI Care that will give you a lifetime warranty on all the parts in every system. This SMI Care membership includes free shipping (even overnight) on all parts of the systems. They have a rock solid product back by the best warranty and tech support in the industry.
Everyone owes it to themselves to drop the headache of "break" buddy problems! - Had to send ours in 7 times in 6 years for "service" cost me the UPS charges and return UPS most times ($80-$90 round trip) many times it was the air lines or regulator, sometimes the control board. Solved our problem when it stopped working two weeks after getting it back the last time. Now have had a Blue Ox Patriot for 5 years. It to has gone to the factory service center twice, both times for a failed battery. Once under warranty once at my cost. Now after being well out of warranty, next time I'll break the "warranty seal" and replace the battery myself, about $30.00. I now charge the battery on the unit every other night when traveling, since the last battery failure.

Call them for suggestions. May have to send in for repair. Good people.- Call them for suggestions. May have to send in for repair. Good people.
- Check all hoses and connections. Micro cracks in hoses etc. Those can cause it not to work. Is it powering up?
- No pressure sounds like hose off or bad pump.
- low battery???? do you have a jumper battery jobby that you can see if that works better? I plugged into one of those instead of the toad's battery.
