Ooh my filters arrived also 😁
For my own curiosity what do you not like about the push in air lines. In agriculture we use a lot more air to run parts on equipment than a truck does and never see a compression type fitting anymore. The sharkbite type push pull connectors are so much easier to work on and I have never seen them fail.
Shark bite are permanent aren’t they? Regular push fit air lines have a tendency to leak at the fitting after a while. If the edge of the hose isn’t perfectly flush inside , or if there is tension on the line so its pulled slightly from a side or just plain vibration can cause leaks. Over the last couple years ive spent maybe 40 hours of soapwater spraying and then replacing fittings. I never have to worry about it with compression fittings after i replace them.

Dan as you know there is always something to do on these things. I changed my headlights out finally. Been looking to do it for 2 years. Peterbilt/Kw stock headlights are not real good.
I agree those push air fitting are handy but will leak in a micro second. I use a pvc pipe cutter on them to make sure the end is perfectly straight.

So today I finally got off my @$$ and added my tanker endorsement to my cdl
Also changed out my old power drive 2500w inverter for an Aims true sine wave 3000w industrial inverter(they have 2 versions, not sure what the non industrial one is lacking).
Installed remote switch for new inverter (btw the inverter is TWICE THE SIZE)
Also wired a new usb hub with voltage indicator (truck batter voltage).
Next i might switch out my 32 inch tv for a 40 inch, have to check my mount to see if it has the 20x20 cm hole spacings.
Trailer got 2 levels of etrack today and a hubcap seal replaced but they( the place i bought trailer from) are not done checking for slow leaks on trailer. I told them to replace anything that needs it with compression fittings instead of the normal push fit stuff.
Now to do stage 1 of operation “ restock” of supplies
