Customer declined replacement on what is basically the limit for air drum brakes based on DOT regulations (1/4 inch). I swear, companies like these are the reason why I couldn't be a truck driver without having authority of maintenance requests. reddit.com/gallery/say2ja

My company wants to run a truck with air brake problems.
The truck can't build pressure except in triple the time allowed at 1400 psi instead of 1k.
Hold the brakes for brake test and it loses 5 psi in 30 seconds.
Their excuses: "it's old or cold"
Should I report them? Am I in trouble if I am pulled over and DoT finds out?

Hi, this seems like a cast-iron plate, it is labelled at the back B78060/1 and then "The Westinghouse Brake & Signal Co Ltd London & Chippenham". Any help identifying will be much appreciated! I know the Westinghouse company was involved in making mining equipment too, which is why I'm here. imgur.com/a/AFtEL
Thoughts on Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Group (WAB)?
I've had these guys on my watchlist for a bit and so far I've liked what I've seen from them fundamentally (and value-wise). Just wondering if anyone else has checked them out or would like to; as well as what are your thoughts on them as an investment?

the companies that manufactured my tv and remote produce nuclear energy
Is $440 for a 90K mile maintenance package/oil change reasonable (for Indianapolis area)? Service includes: Oil change, tire rotation, engine air filter replaced, brake fluid flushed, other fluids checked/topped off as needed, + additional “inspections” he didn’t go into detail over)
2017 Subaru Forester. Just trying not to get hosed here. Thanks!
Looking for manufacturer and information about this 60s/70s(?) factory/warehouse scooter. It's electric, front drive, 2-speed, 3-wheels. Only apparent markings on it: ECDA on brake pedal. (Blank metal panel inside bodywork.) Not a Cushman or Westinghouse or Norco, so far. Thanks in advance! imgur.com/a/DmKbJmk

Looking for a Soft Rhyno-like disc with serious air brakes
What's up disc golf nuts. I lost my 175g R Pro Rhyno and have been having trouble finding a replacement so I'm looking for some input (or maybe a redditor who wants to sell one lol)
I throw the rhyno on <240ft approaches because I don't have to power down due to its natural hatred of being in the air.
If you have any distance-limiting alternative that isn't a pig I'd love to hear it
Yesterday my buddy complained the company car was locking up the brakes when he breaks abit hard and noticed the handbrake and abs light has been coved by tissue paper . Why would someone do this? v.redd.it/b1ceg8t2f4181
What is this and should I cap it? No noticeable air loss with them off. Might be a stupid question but I've never noticed these hanging from my brake chamber
