    Winter vacation started today once again my body is united with my soul. I am points south of Taverneer.

    I will come back north if u want me to. Short notice here but I have to be in Cocoa on Thursday. Could take another trip north at some other point this season. I'll be in Naples for a week in Jan too. I would like to limit things for Dec jan and Feb to no more than 7 or 8 days of work per month max and I'm just about there.

    An entire set of bags and spool valves aren't 2500 bucks from prevo fittings r another few hundred depending on what's in place. Dont take long when I dont make mistakes.

    Then theirs another approach the let's just see what's going on first method. Worked good for Gill. Found and removed 4 leaky fittings and sealed up his L and R rear.

    All 4 leaks on his were on the air tanks for the rear drive bags. they r the only 2 that r mounted inboard. We pulled all the drains on all 6 rear bag tanks and plugged them while we were at it. His components were and remain all original and still showing very slight signs of wear. It's been in a good environment. Although common this is not always the case the scenarios run the entire gammit. There r chassis out there that r half the age with twice the wear. I pulled 10yr old air bags out of buses that look brand new. In Virginia I pulled a 10 yr old bag out that was rusted through the base leaking there.
