    Air compressor CAT 3126

    I have a 1998 FL 70 with a 3126 in it. It is starting to leak air out of the top plate (?) of the air compressor. There are 3 bolts I believe that secure the plate/cover. Do they make a kit for this or should I replace the compressor?

    1998 FL70 power windows

    I have a 1998 FL70 and the power windows aren't working (they were) and I'm trying to locate the fuse for them (or what they are tied in with). I've looked over the owner's manual fuse box diagram ad nauseum. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Tag-A-Long APU

    I recently bought a truck that had a Tag-A-Long apu on it. Well, I understand they are out of business and I'm looking for an owners manual or wiring schematic for one. For the life of me I can't get any electricity to the plugs. The generator starts and runs good. The tattle tales aren't...
