Air leak

Re: the brake release valve....A condensed story .....To illustrate the goodness of strangers!
Our son had a Contemporary Christian /Band years ago. I transported them to a "Gig" one Sunday pm to a little church way up in a small town in rural Michigan. Of course by the time we got the band all loaded up to leave it was late. The brakes on my 'ol 1978 Newell would not release!!!! There were two ladies leaving the church as I walked back in searching for help. One of them knew the local school bus mechanic. He didn't attend church there but still came at 11:00 pm on a Sunday night to check it out. After determining the problem we went in his truck to an old bus garage. Way in the back on a dusty shelf he found the proper valve. I believe they had used the same valve on a Ford school bus but it was now obsolete. He installed the valve for me and would not take any money!!!!
My message to Brad...I'd replace that valve. It can leave you immobile if it malfunctions.
