UDATE:Need help. Lost exhaust and air pressure regulation.
Wasn’t sure how to title this one.
Driving to the Psu orv lot yesterday started to get “air” dash warnings.
F/R pressure Gauges pegged at 150.
Pulled over. Manually via electronic switch I dumped the air.
Did a system check.
All seemed ok.
Tried again.
Within minutes air pressures pegged.
Never heard the auto air drop dump whoosh again.
Limped to stadium dumping air 1000x by constantly applying brakes to drop air. And occasionally the horn too. Lol. I had many friends yesterday.
So, investigated upon parking.
Well-apparently I lost 2 feet of exhaust from my 400 isl to my muffler which in turn dumped much hot air back there and fubared some part of the air system which I could see back there.
Called local cg I park at, hour later and 3 “we can’t help you’s“ the last place rec’d the local Caterpillar shop. Talked to a super nice lady who once heard I indeed own new Cat equipment let me talk to the shop and despite being closed sundays is letting me drop off my coach there to see if they can fix it. If I can get it there without blowing up my air lines that is.
So.
My thought is.
Let pressure build.
Pull air compressor fuse.
Use my Jake brake and go slow as hell for 12 miles.
Pull over as soon as my air drops below 100 to refuse/refill.
Repeat.
My question is.
Anyone know which fuse is the right one on a 2008 Newmar kountry Star w Spartan Mm chassis ?
Or is there an easier way?
Lastly, am I crazy for thinking along these lines?
Tia!
