I had one leak that the hose didn't locate but using the Whisper it was found right away. Sometimes it takes different tools to find the issue.

Argo, thanks. PM sent.

I have trimmed the line ends and the leaks still remain. I have checked the price of new guages, $275 for the rear and $300 for the front. Will try the cleaning and dielectric to see if that helps. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes the air lines were removed as the cluster was on the bench. The collet freely turns and my flavor of slick'um was applied.

Once again I tried to remove the collet and was unsuccessful. Either I need to eat more spinach 😋 or someone else will have to do the job as pulling straight up with the needle nose pliers is not working for me.

I tried pulling the gromet out with needle nose pliers but was afraid of damaging the gauge or the fitting with the amount of pressure needed.

In my 99 VNL 610, tracked down some of my air leaks to the connections behind the guages in the dash cluster. Removed the air lines and tried to take the push to connect fitting apart to put in a new o ring but was unable to get it apart. Is there some trick to get the old o ring out without damaging the guages?

Thanks so much for all your help. Scrap; First noticed last spring and as I said above I took it to a dealer and they were unable to resolve this, they did replace a couple of parts. After having the truck with them for about 2 weeks I had to leave without the issue resolved, since they had no idea.

1999 Volvo VNL 610 with Cummins N14. Air gauge in dash marked F goes down faster than the other one marked R. Reading goes down to about 105 and stays there then the other guage starts going down, when it reaches 105 compressor kicks in and builds up both to 120. Cycle takes about 5 minutes from compressor start to compressor start. No love from a dealer recommend as one good at dealing with air leaks by a professional driver. Planning on ordering a Wisper to assist me with tracking down any air leaks I can. Since the connections are most likely original I believe I may be better off replaceing the PTC connections. What size connections do I need? Are there Amazon or NAPA part numbers? Thanks Dave

On the HHRV Campground site I do not see Jim and Mary's listed. Perhaps one of you could submit it? Thanks.

I am currently at Augies RV Park in Gila Bend. Had two trailer tires blow on I-8 Heading east from Yuma so I am here waiting for some new tires to come in so I can have new tread all the way around. Minor damage to the rig. Am attempting to contact Goodyear about their tires and the damage. I will be here at least another week as the local tire shop said they would have the tires by Thursday at the latest. I did not want to go any further with two possible weak tires. Dave
