After a few months of sitting dormant and tons of work that I performed, today I took it out for a drive. Rear brake air check valve seems to work now and built up pressure when I exhausted the air from the brake test. I wanted to make sure it would build up air. That said, I brought along my compressor just in case. I drove for about 50 miles with smiles on my face. This thing rides oh so nice and smooth. One of the things I did over the winter was install an LED indicator lamp next to the Jake brake switch which is tied to the circuit going to the engine solenoids. When engaged, the light turns on so I know the solenoids are getting power. Seems to work although I really don't feel the braking force. I never had a 2 stroke before so I have nothing to compare it to other than my 2018 Ram Cummins diesel. That truck will almost stop itself on jakes alone. New front a/c works phenomenal and I am thrilled to have a comfortable drive again. Now that it is parked over the pit where I can get to the wet tank, I will remove it, have it cleaned and replace any and all check valves I find back there. I am thinking of removing the auto drain under the wet tank and putting in manual drain valves where I can access them without getting under the coach. It was a good day.
