    FMTV tech tip of yesterday

    Any truck with air brakes this should be watched. I needed two of my cage bolts today and if I was not home and had the wire brush on hand it would have been a fight.

    Air dryer replacement for sure.

    Thanks to Will aka Suprman for the new dryer. I thought mine might be getting old and yes to my surprise the old one was full of water. I mean full.
