Just FYI the wheel bearings are not pressurized, the "T" (called a "thru tee")coming out the bearing hub cab has a 6" stem that goes into a fitting in the axle. If that fitting ever leaks air into the hub, you can remove the 2 hoses and back the thru tee off half a turn, and reinstall the hoses that usually stops the air leak by letting the seal ride on a different part of the stem, if not give the thru tee another half turn, just don't back the thru tee too far because then hub oil will start leaking from the threads.
I understand the basic principle. Fortunately our young mechanic told me how to quick fix it. You will probably notice there are less trailer blow outs in the last decades. Now tire inflation is continuous. It draws off of the air supply for the air brakes. This is the first time I have had a problem. Thank you Kev.
Always learning 👍
Now you know!!
Thank you Bryce!
I'm a cobbler by nature. This is too easy. Thank you Ed.
By the way it isn't raining today.

That is good information. We've been using this system for about 15 years. Before that I checked tires, and filler caps daily. Thank you.
Only time I ever delt with one of those systems, I said a lot of naughty words....Thanks Bryce.
The idiot light was telling me I had a flat tire. Now I know I only need to turn off the valve. Thank you Brent.
Learn something new everyday! That’s awesome and what it’s all about … of course,… when we choose to learn! Thanks Bryce👍

@@brycewiborg8095 Never knew that! That’s Cool 👍😎👍Thanks👍
That's awesome Mr Bryce!! 😁😁
Never had that problem before. I'm glad that the young guys can explain this to me. Thank you Nelson.
@@brycewiborg8095 😉👌🏻
Be safe out there 👍🏻
I'm a old guy. Therefore I'm seldom in a rush. Thank you Rick.
Them mofo are always leaking as I just go underneath the trailer and turn the valve off.
That is the first time I've had a problem.
Thank you for stopping by.
