New member - posting info. A& air brake "learning" needed

[dan wade]

Larry, It sounds like you have alot of work ahead of you but I would do the same
thing. Air brakes are air brakes no matter what vehicle they are on so I would
start looking around 18 wheeler shops or web sites or whatever. They work on the
same setup and they may help you more since the deal with it every day.

I'm the pride owner of a 1965+/- Bus/RV with a Chevy 366V8 gas
engine, 4-spd. manual transmission, etc. that's a great old RV.

Trouble is - I had air compressor issues and let it sit for several
(count like 7 yrs.) and now I want to make it come alive!

I'm changing fluids, pre-lubing engine, install new engine monitoring
gauges, etc. before I crank it up. But my real concern is the clutch,
the compressor for the brakes, and the air brake system itself. Do I
go w/ what I've got and fix leaks as they occur or do I replace all
my air lines due to their 35+ yrs. This was a school transit bus so
it was built tough...in the 1960's though?

*Where can I go to learn more about my air brakes and how they
operate? I've got parts I cannot ID and I'd like to photo them and
ask group's advice!

**How do I attach photos to a post to this group?
