Thank you for explaining this. I especially appreciate you taking the time to describe in detail how the fittings work and the differences between them in straightforward and easy to understand terms. Appreciate your help!
i try to keep it real because i want folks to know that things happen and some of those things are simple to fix. thank you very much for watching and for the kind words.
In Michigan we're not allowed to use unions on green airline which is for your primary brake system. We can only use them on black which is for the accessories system. Split loom is good where they could rub or just zip tie them tight where the lines touch.
What is the green line typically used for? 2007 Kenworth t-800 quard dump truck road tractor conversion. I had mine break and mechanic tried to tell me it was the air compressor, I found it was pinched between the front axel and burst. Either way I cut and kinked both ends of the line and the whole truck operates fine.
Great video and very good Information, thank you for making this video, I admire your ability to film n work with one hand, Maybe get a camera mount, lol. Thank you again
Don't like that getting dirty bit 😊 heard those compression fittings will last longer? Those quick connects you can reuse sometimes if the splines inside of them are not broke or deformed. They do get gunked up with dirt, grease & debris. You have to cleaned them out and make sure they work.
Man u r 1 kool Kat.. and i seen that kool cat u got too. Video is very helpful, i gave it a like. 1 dumb question tho.. How do i get the hose out to fix the leak.. How do i press the plastic fitting in (the circular type) .. Do i need a special tool or do i kind of use big needle noses as best i cud ? I got leaks at those fittings comin off the back of the compressor tank.. got to let to truck run a few minutes to build up secondary air.. pretty annoying.
Good morning, new Subscriber 👋 , and thank you in advance, a big hello from the sunshine State And I gotta tell you this is baby stuff but very important baby stuff, as for myself I gotta put my superman suit on and do what you did creep up under there and get a little dirty and have a little patience and find the air leaks, this one here loses all the Damn air 10 minutes, I am interested to find out how much you paid for for all the feedings like the previous person stated those are a little pricey, but we do what we gotta do to survive, thank you once again for the educational video this is another one that will be going to my private library for educational purposes, this is Robbie👌👍✌️
use soapy water to find air leaks with the air full (PSI) try to listen of course, then spray with soapy water. Air bubbles tell where the leak is. Check the fittings around your airbags 1st on the rear suspension, they get the most motion from bouncing down the highway.
Life and Pryce, Thanks man. Great video. I will certainly check mine too. I have the same truck as yours- 2000 Freightliner Century Class. I have a question. This is how I stumbled on your video by the way. My issue is this: My low air buzzer came on today.............the buzzer and the low air light and it won't go off. My air (PSI) is okay but the thing won't go off. This is what I BELIEVE HAPPENED: My radio fell through the casing where it is mounted. So, I was trying to pull it back but couldn't because of the tiny space. So, what I did, I put my hand under the radio towards the back (where all the radio wires are) and tried to push the radio to get back to its original position. In so doing, my low air buzzer came on but at first , I didn't realise what it I was. I thought it was the radio making the noise. I only realised when I saw the buzzer light when I happened to look at the dashboard. I believe that I touched something next to the wires at the back of my radio that triggered the low air buzzer. I've tried to meddle with the wires next to my radio but the buzzer won't go off. I've tried to restart my truck but nothing is happening. I don't know what I touched but whatever it was, it caused all this problem. Again, my PSI (for my brakes is over 100). It is just the buzzer that is off. Do you (or anyone else reading this) have an idea as to what it could be? I apologise that I wrote too much but that is the only way I could explain it. Thanks.
i wonder if it could be the sending unit for the air brakes or psi system? knowing the type truck and year would be more help. i am so sorry i havent gotten back to you sooner.
@@victorsuarez2954 the rear heater core is under the bunk. If it leaks youll see it dripping from a drain tube under the right rear of the cab. (They all leak when it gets cold).
it is possible but when i consider the cost of another tool possibly a specialty tool it is just easier and cheaper to buy new fittings. most of the time i have new fittings in my parts box in the truck but not this time. also with those fittings haveing over 2 million miles and wear and tear on them i just opt for new ones. thank you for the veiw and comment good question.
Yes, you can reuse the fittings if the splines inside of them are not broken or deformed. The quick connect fitting can be disconnected by pushing down on the outer ring, once pushed down, pull the air line out (the opposite of the way he installed them)
the fittings to connect old air line to new are called Unions. thank you for the question and i am very sorry it took me so long to reply, it has been a very trying year for me . be safe and truck it up .
thank you for the question and for watching the video, i only replaced the bad part of the hose and that is why i had the unions to connect the old hose to the new one. i did inspect the hoses looking for other holes or rub marks but found none so it was the cheap way to fix it. thank you again and be safe.
After I park and pull out my red/yellow, I can hear a faint hissing under the hood on the passenger side (can't pin point exact location). My air loss rate test is fine though. Is this normal to hear a small hissing in this situation or would that indicate I have a small air leak?
The cable inside the cab that you pull to blow horn? It won’t be fun but you’re going to have to take the interior trim panel off to access the point where the cable goes.
not all DOTs are bad in California 30 years later i did a search for him and did find him in a nursing home i was sailing with a special little girl we visited the mouse when we were there and surprised him with a power wheelchair towe taking him out for dinner to before we sailed out Hawaii for Christmas we have a handicapped girl on board so we need to call the Coast Guard they came out of hey air and left her back to LA to the children's hospital she went under emergency surgery for heart surgery she had her mom fly back home afterward did not take long for me to sell the boat and fly home 2023 i did fall ill so could not travel
i have exactly the same problem that i can,t even locate yet. But it is from the top of the airr tank, i will be more persistant to find it cause you show me that is there.

Thank you so much! I really needed the information about the second coupler. I didn’t know how it worked and you explained it perfectly!
Its probably a good idea to keep a set of these in the vehicle all the time.
Good video, thanks for the tips. Keep making videos, they help us all out.

Sometimes your suspension air bags can have pin hole leaks and drain your air when parked.
use soapy water to find air leaks with the air full (PSI) try to listen of course, then spray with soapy water. Air bubbles tell where the leak is. Check the fittings around your airbags 1st on the rear suspension, they get the most motion from bouncing down the highway.
Great Video👍👍👍 How'd you figure out the sizes to hoses fittings and unions; did Freightliner dealer assist you?
Arnold Ramos i took the bad pieces with me so we could match it all up 100%. Thanks man .
@@lifeandpryce2470 No... Thank you Sir.
Many thanks for video
I got this very useful thanks
Good job

Thank you man
Yes Sir, good job

Helpful tutorial 👌
Thank you
Damn good job trucker … 10:4
Where are you located? I am in IN New Haven
Thanks bro
Good job thanks
Thanks for the vid. I got a leak on one of my tanks i need to find. Did you get the fittings and hose from the dealer?
You should be able to find them at any truck parts place. Just have to get the correct size
What the part number on fittings ? What size is that big green one? .75? Where you buy your fittings ?
should be able to find the fittings at any truck parts store
My heater is blowing something inside the cab, not sure but smells like coolant, any ideas what it could be?
Columbia 2006 Detroit S60
Thanks.
Victor Suarez could be the heater core that is the most common thing when you get coolant smells through the vents.
Life and Pryc thank you so much , I appreciate you, do you know where is it that located?
@@victorsuarez2954 the rear heater core is under the bunk. If it leaks youll see it dripping from a drain tube under the right rear of the cab. (They all leak when it gets cold).
Couldn't you just use the old brass fittings? Is their a tool to remove the air lines from the brass fittings?
it is possible but when i consider the cost of another tool possibly a specialty tool it is just easier and cheaper to buy new fittings. most of the time i have new fittings in my parts box in the truck but not this time. also with those fittings haveing over 2 million miles and wear and tear on them i just opt for new ones. thank you for the veiw and comment good question.

What the size of the fittings bro?
What do you actually call the fittings and what size are they thank you sir UN advance
the fittings to connect old air line to new are called Unions. thank you for the question and i am very sorry it took me so long to reply, it has been a very trying year for me . be safe and truck it up .
Nah the video is good ty
So you just cut where the hole was or replace the whole hose?
thank you for the question and for watching the video, i only replaced the bad part of the hose and that is why i had the unions to connect the old hose to the new one. i did inspect the hoses looking for other holes or rub marks but found none so it was the cheap way to fix it. thank you again and be safe.
Mine is leaking air sounds like I’m dragging a trash bag
Where do you get the air hoses and unions from?
Good question. Probably from a truck repair shop.
you should be able to get them from any truck parts store
After I park and pull out my red/yellow, I can hear a faint hissing under the hood on the passenger side (can't pin point exact location). My air loss rate test is fine though.
Is this normal to hear a small hissing in this situation or would that indicate I have a small air leak?
hey i popped the cable from the air horn on my freightliner any idea how to fix
The cable inside the cab that you pull to blow horn? It won’t be fun but you’re going to have to take the interior trim panel off to access the point where the cable goes.
i hear something sounds like im dragging a trash bag
How did you find the air leak did you use anything to help?
you can use soapy water or window cleaner. Spray then look for bubbles
are u an owner operator??
not all DOTs are bad in California 30 years later i did a search for him and did find him in a nursing home i was sailing with a special little girl we visited the mouse when we were there and surprised him with a power wheelchair towe taking him out for dinner to before we sailed out
Hawaii for Christmas we have a handicapped girl on board so we need to call the Coast Guard they came out of hey air and left her back to LA to the children's hospital she went under emergency surgery for heart surgery she had her mom fly back home afterward did not take long for me to sell the boat and fly home 2023 i did fall ill so could not travel
i have exactly the same problem that i can,t even locate yet. But it is from the top of the airr tank, i will be more persistant to find it cause you show me that is there.
Jajaja 😂 very good vidio
Never mentioned the sizes
Quick connect air line fittings ought to be banned.
They make the manufacturing assembly line go much faster
You can have air leaks,read the book on fed regs......ask dot if hes ase crtified and youll find out he isnt and he then doesnt know the leak rate of our systems onthe trucks and tell him its illegal for him to write a ticket since hes not certified.....thats the law and then sue him if he does, i gettired of us truck driversbeing taken advantabe of by some du mb hick who thinks he knows it all.
Good job buddy
Good job
Thank you
