Lost air while driving - Brad Townsend - 10-26-2017

I am on 44 west bound about 11 miles west of Vinita ok. Lost air. Can air up ok with emergency brake on but if I apply brakes or release emergency brakes all air drains pretty quick.
Have roadside service coming.

Dang too bad you can't limp it back to newell

I am guessing that you have either blown a diaphragm on the ebrake can that releases the brake, or torn a line loose that feeds those cans.

Richard, this is not my area, but should not Brad be warned not to work on the can unless he knows what he is doing because there is a very strong spring in the system that can hurt you?

Just realized you guys chimed in. Must be the new phone not notifying me.
Richard you are correct. Had a roadside service that knew what they were doing but he'd had to chase to Tulsa for a new part. 1hr each way. A bit of trouble with one of the bolts. 7 hrs later back on the road.
Thanks for the input.

Brad, out of curiosity, what ERS do use.....Coachnet, or Good Sam?

I don't have any roadside service. Not sure which ones are worth having. Would like to know if anyone has had any experience with any.
