[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 4336924, member: 13921"] This week and for the forseeable future, I am coming in early to do the shifting at my building. This morning, I had a trailer that the brakes would not release. There is a valve right behind the air tank that was froze open. I would push in the red valve and there was so much air going out the frozen valve, that I could not get any air from the rear glad hand (the one you hook up for a dolly.) We heated up the valve. Nothing. We pulled the yard goat (Sterling) out from under it and hooked up with a twin screw Kenworth. The leak quit with the Kenworth and we pulled the trailer to our empty lot and went back to doing what we were doing. All that to ask this question: The Sterling was only getting up to 90-100 lbs of air, the Kenworth was at 120+ lbs. Did the extra air pressure do it?? Once the air was set on the KW, there was no leak, everything worked like it ought to have. On another note.... we are expecting 10-16 inches of snow between this afternoon and tomorrow. We have our yard cleaned out of most empties, but holy cripes our dolly pile is growing like dandelions in May. We had 11 dollies on property when I left this morning (5-6 is more normal.) [/QUOTE]
