While you are in the truck stop perusing the glad hands, take a look for the
little round rubber air seals that fit in the glad hands.
Black ones are under a dollar each and red or blue ones are a couple of
bucks each. They do wear out and they are very simple to replace.

Subject: [MV] Deuce Air hoses and glad hands availability
> While out on your next Chritsmas trip down the interstate, stop by a Truck
style Fuel stop for your wife/ significant other to use the restroom. Then
slip around the donuts and goodies counter to the back of the store where
the truckers enter.
> There on the bottom shelf for around $25.00 you'll find a Glad hand hose
and air chuck setup. Sometimes bright blue, yellow or if lucky black (Army
had black or dull red from what I've ever seen, mines bright blue now
;o( )
>
> To use: Simpy connect the glad hand to the rear Right (passenger side)
RED painted connector, then reach behind the tailight and looking away from
the joint (Don't want to blow dust in your eye) rotate the very stiff
(usually) valve till the air bleeds into the hose. Then with the truck
either running or not, fill to your hearts intent.
>
> To shut it down, MAKE SURE you turn the valve OFF first, elsewise all the
air in the system will escape, possibly in your face....(again, I look away
as I disconnect...)

> Army issued Black and Dark red hoses, natural rubber type, but I'm certain
others were issues whenever someone made a local procurement.
> Or you could use the older method of connecting under the dash....

> I want to screw off the air chuck, add a quick connect to it and the hose,
then use other standard air tools like a blower, etc tro clean air filters,
the cab, etc.
