Bendix Brakes won't air up

[Scott]

Al, I guess you could be stuck in worse places. Spruce Pine is a great
area. None the less, There are a couple of big truck shops west of
Ashville that can help you out in an emergency BUT I will tell you I
had work done by the GMC place in Oct and was pretty disapointed. I had
a leveling valve replaced. Coach still leaned and well now that I
replaced all the valves I find out the "new" valve they replaced was
painted (makes me think it was used) But I got home. There is a forum
member that is from that area I will email him, he is travelling but I
am sure he will pop in.

IF you can make it to Charlotte NC there is a great shop there that
will definately treat you right. Carroll's Aligning (South Tryon St-
704-376-4471) They have been in business 60 yrs and the shop Mgr has
been there 32 yrs..great guys. Ask for Tommy Carrol, use my name.

Best of luck
