The AIR-DEFENSE System's Quick-Change Cartridge, featuring a bypass mode to ensure air fl ow at all times, catches debris before it can enter the trailer air lines and brake valves, causing damage. When the cartridge is full, a red indica- tor pops out giving a quick visual notifi cation to a techni- cian or operator that it needs to be replaced. Replacement of the cartridge is accomplished in minutes without added downtime to the vehicle, Phillips says. Expanded aftermarket product categories Dorman HD Solu- tions has released several new former dealer-only parts to the heavy-duty aftermarket. Among the new products are cab door vents for Mack Trucks, coolant reservoirs for International trucks, wind- shield washer reservoirs for Freightliner trucks, air door actuators for International and Mack Trucks, and window channels for Mack Trucks. Clutch Brake Removal Tool Kiene Diesel intro- duces a one-piece clutch brake cut- ter removal tool. Kiene says the device works by being positioned on the clutch brake, holding down on the clutch pedal so the tool and clutch brake clamp together, drilling through the clutch brake up to the collar, removing the bushing, then cutting the wheel with a chisel. Kiene says a tech can then rotate the clutch brake and repeat the process on the other side. Kiene says the tool eliminates the need for technicians to torch a clutch brake and pull a transmission during the removal process. The clutch brake cutter kit includes a chisel, drill, collar, drill guide, drill bushing and handle. Protective fi fth-wheel plate Minimizer has released its newest product, the Slick Plate. Made of poly plastic, Minimizer says the Slick Plate removes the need for grease and prolongs the life of the fi fth wheel. Minimizer says the Slick Plate also makes for easier handling and maneuverability, and comes with all necessary hardware so there's no welding to secure it to the fi fth wheel. It also comes with a fi ve-year warranty, the company says. PPG Commercial Coatings has introduced F4921 Epoxy Primer to the Delfl eet Evolution premium commercial paint system. PPG says F4921 is a 2.1 VOC gray primer that is com- patible with Delfl eet Evolution basecoats and single-stage topcoats and offers exceptional versatility. The new primer can be applied to many substrates includ- ing cold rolled steel, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, galvaneal, fi ber glass and cured surfaces, the company says.
