Well, I discovered that the park brake button was sticking just a bit open. Had to wait until it got really quiet around here to hear it. Putzed with it a bit and now it does not stick.
I have every intention of replacing the canister before I hook it back up. But, those things cost about $300.00, depending where you buy it, so bottom line, if I need to, I can replace the whole unit.
Well, on to other problems and projects. I think Peg just likes to keep me busy so that I don't wander down to the local drinking establishment.

The
Meritor Air Dryer assemblymight cost $300, but the desiccant filter cost me #38 at a local truck repair shop. Given the Meritor has been out of operation for a long time I would purchase the maintenance kit, which consists of parts to rebuild all the valves attached to the body and a new filter. The kit should cost about $125, call a HD truck repair shop and price the kit. You will find the ID number of the system in your chassis owners manual and on the Meritor casting base. Mine is a Meritor 1200 system.
If you replace the filter yourself, be very sure you clean any/all dirt away from the area first, otherwise you'll get a speck of dirt into the housing and cause you grief later.
