SpAir Parts - yamajason - 03-29-2016
Driving on the interstate when engine fan turns on and stays on. Tank 1 air pressure is holding at 90psi, I find the nearest International Dealer and they are 20 miles away and I will arrive 6:30pm GREAT since they close at 7pm according to Google Maps info.
I arrive 6:29pm and all the gates are closed and chain locked. I call the phone number and get answering service and ask for Parts hours. She tells me they are open until 7pm, then I ask her to transfer me. No answer, she picks back up and says she cant get ahold of anyone there. She wants my phone number and says she will have someone call me back.
I crawl under truck and find air rushing from an air solenoid to the 5th wheel slide...hmmm never use that. Grab my spare parts box and pull out this Push Connect Air Plug and plug off hose connector.
Best $1.22 I ever spent(from Amazon:), going back on the road now, and still waiting for the parts dept on a Tuesday evening to call....yeah right.
