I love the smell of diesel in the morning, it smells like.... oh forget it, I'm going outside for another whiff!!!!!

I always thought I would eventually get the certification to work on air brakes but it hasn't happened yet. There is a short course offered here at the community college, may happen yet.

It is the boiling water in the brake lines that kills. You know about the air when you start out. The boiling water surprises you at the worst possible time.

So after the tranny swap I had let alot of air into my brake lines when bleeding the clutch. Last night when I got home re bleeded. Went thru a full liter of brake fluid and it is still murky brown. Thats why you should flush every year!

Ohhh, I get it now. You wanted water in the lines, and a 15,000 lb load, not air in the lines and an 80,000 lb load. I was eager to oblige on the second one.

If we put airbrakes on our cars, can you imagind the posts 2 years from now...
Why should you change the air in your brakes... LOL
