Has anybody else ever seen this happen to a new KW OEM reman CAC?
I just posted about two weeks ago installing this...since then, I've gone empty stacked up (68,000lbs on 5 axles) to Milwaukee, loaded a by my standards quite light load weighing 71,000lbs, grossing about 140,000lbs on 9 axle. Took that 1950miles to Ft McMurray, AB. Then came empty back to the shop in Edmonton. Total just over 4000miles.
I have a mechanical boost gauge, and the highest I saw was a 41psi spike that settled to 38-39psi.
This is the center section of the bottom tube. They are rectangular in the KW T800 Wide Hood, this section is deform damn near round! I broke a couple bug screen turnbuckles and climbed inside the hood to change them and found this by accident!
I don't currently have a leak tester to check of it leaks. I'm waiting for KW to call me back to find out what they want to do...
