wayne :

Hi I'm Wayne, I will help you with this,

wayne :

most likely cause is Head gasket, but how did you eliminate the compressor

Customer :

hooked up pressure gauge ,left truck run til pressure was up to used air to kick in compressor no change in reading

wayne :

It only takes a small amount, might not be able to tell, that way,

wayne :

bleed down air tanks, remove dis charge line, run truck and shut off after 5 min. if no air, its compressor, if is air, then Head Gasket

wayne :

discharge line from compressor
