[Diesel-RVs] Air brake release noise on 2008 coaches.

The "braying mule in pain" noise on the 2008 American Coaches and
probably other Fleetwoods on Spartan chassis, and maybe some others,
that occurs at every brake application as you release the brake is so
embarassingly loud I have been chasing Spartan about a "fix".
Here is their answer:
"The brake release valve installed is the one specified by the body
maker. Bendix makes one with a rubber baffle (part #28952) that others
have installed and seems to solve the noise problem. Jim."

Those of you with that god-awful noise may want to put it on your
repair list. I'm adding it to my warranty problems.
I am hopeful AC will change that specification very soon. I bet the
workers in the factory get tired of listening to that braying all day
with all the coach movement that goes on.
