The front tires are rivering(erosion) real bad and this is a known problem with G670 tires, plus I have Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:33:50 GMT Richard Marvin http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6987 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6987 Steve; If green is low find some grass not the gas. Thanks. The way things are plumbed I have a feeling that both systems will drop as they try to balance out.

Nice work! Did all of your research yield an answer to your bleed down Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:39:17 GMT mckellyb http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6985 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6985 Thanks, I forgot to mention the high-idle bit. At normal idle, it would take days. All six tires, the rears typically don't need much, if any, but the fronts Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:03:38 GMT jim sims http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6984 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6984 Thanks Dick for the time you spent on this subject.   ______________ Jim Sims Shoot for the moon, worst thing that happens is you land among the stars.   Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:52:23 GMT Dick http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6983 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6983 To All; A call to freightliner and we now have some good information on just how the system works and how the gauges monitor the system.

Mine stops pumping at about 125, but starts 'round 95/100, however, I've had my tires at 110 PSI, easily. In fact, at the beginning of a road trip, I'll Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:52:34 GMT George Swenson http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6978 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6978 The schrader valve on the air dryer is to air up the brakes & air bags. You must have the air suspension lever in the correct position, for this to work.

Never used an air valve with a low pressure set point. The drawings show a jack valve on the Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:50:04 GMT George Swenson http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6975 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6975 The air connector on the firewall will have up to 120 psi, and you cannot drain the system below 65psi with this port. The jacks have a float, that tells the Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:38:19 GMT George Swenson http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6974 http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bounder_diesel/message/6974 You are mistaken on how they work.
