Agreed. I would be interested in accident statistics (major and minor) matching those using HDTS as RV toters vs. commercial and miles driven. I know there are some of our group that have had accidents but I would dare say it is rare. Is anyone aware of anyone in our group that has been involved in an accident resulting in a fatality? Don’t have any information on DPs.

Dang, you’re not gonna let me live that down are you?

Steve, If we ever meet again, remind me to tell you about a localizer back course at night into Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Falls, Texas in a C182. Winds were 40 knots sustained with gusts to 55 dead off the nose. Ground speed was 30-35 knots!

And the teardrop entries?

Wow, that’s a low blow. 😢 Just because I use an RNAV approach plate and waypoints doesn’t mean It’s unsafe. 😛

Rick, Here’s a myth up for discussion. “If you don’t have a CDL then you weren’t trained and you’re not safe” in an HDT. I was told this once while fueling in Oklahoma on the way to the National Rally.

Ken, Thanks so much.

Ok Rick, I’ll bite. Why do they not have self canceling turn signals? BTW the FAA requires nitrogen in commercial aviation tires. Helps prevent moisture and breakdown of rubber due to oxidation. DOT May have some obscure line somewhere requiring the same in commercial vehicles thus perpetuating the myth.

Good explanation.

Ok, will try to find some Kroil.

Rick, I misspoke. Meant to say, replacing the air dryer fittings.

Have some crowfoot. Not sure if they are large enough. Will check. May be time for more tools. 😊 Just can’t see paying shop $185 an hour when I could spend on tools.

Just want to ask about another option to cover my bases. Both top and bottom connections are seized. Going to try heat and PB Blaster. If all else fails removing the hose, could I simply cut the rusted connection end off and have a new end fabricated and splice into the remaining hose with a barbed connection? If so would want something better than regular hose clamps. Max pressure in that feed line to dryer is 185 psi and mine “chuffs” at 135 psi. BTW I’m replacing the air dryer also so getting the rusted connection off will not be necessary. Will get new connections. Understand this solution would be last resort only.

The second pump on the passenger side is a “slave” pump to the drivers side. It is simply there to fill the passenger side tank. Same diesel, NO separate card reader so you can’t do a separate transaction on that pump. Even old dogs like me can learn new tricks. I did not know dyed diesel was available at truck stops. Being raised in a farming community, thought it only was available at Co-Ops. Secondly it never dawned on me what the “refer” was referring to when I was using my card at the pump. I continue to learn daily from the smart people on this site.

Thanks so much. I will personal message my vin# to you. What you show looks correct. Going to try and get some pictures today and will send also. Was going to do it yesterday but was cold and windy. These old bones don’t like the cold.

5000. So it would pull 20 amps correct if on 240?

Easier said than done. RandyA in a previous thread described trying to remove the hose and ended up having to cut and destroy it in the process. Would like to one in hand prior to having to go to that extreme. I have another dealer source that may be willing to give me the number.

Spin, My vote is for the add on system and keep the propane furnace as a “just in case”. Doesn’t mean you will need it but speaking from experience, we were caught in Amarillo, TX in an ice storm and 19*. No electricity, no water, and no stand alone generator. Now my coach has a propane generator, but it would eat up a couple of 40# propane bottles pretty quickly. Thank heavens for my backup propane furnace and some well prepared good friends who were camping with us and provided two Honda gas gens and 5 gallons of water (more if we needed).

Spin, If this is the system you are referring to, we have it in our coach and love it. Keeps trailer warm easily. Note it can utilize 120. We have not used one bottle of propane for heat since owning our coach. https://www.rvcomfortsystems.com/add-on-system

Now I’m feeling ganged up on. Feel like it’s “pick on the old guy” week, lol.

😳😳

Good advice. Thanks.

Made a call to dealer. They can get it but 3 weeks unless I pay overnight freight, hence why I wanted part # to check couple other places. Local dealer doesn’t like to give out part numbers. (BTW you’re still my bud. Just kidding wit ya).

That was Rickeieio’s suggestion also but he’s kind of shady and didn’t know if I could trust him. 😂😂

2006 Volvo VNL 780 with D12D motor. Air dryer part number is Wabco 4324210090. There are two parts to the air compressor discharge line that feeds to the air dryer itself. The first is metal which circles to the drivers side from the passenger side location of the compressor. The second piece is rubber (shrouded) hose from a compression fitting on the steel line and connects into the dryer. I need to find a part number for that hose if anyone has it.
