What we see on trucks from Ilion
Ilion's manufacturing and the trucks that serve it share Route 5S with valley haulers and village trucks.
Valley roads drop to the river in short, steep grades, and those grades are where glazed shoes, hot drums and weak brake chambers show up first.
Stopped in or near Ilion
Give the road and a landmark: Route 5S, Main Street, Route 51 south, or the Erie Canal marina.
An air leak you can hear, a low air warning, or brakes that will not release are not things to drive on. Stop somewhere safe and call; many air leaks can be fixed at the truck.
Questions
How far is the shop from Ilion?
About 11 miles by road, about 17 minutes in normal traffic, to 2256 Broad St in Frankfort. The shop is open 24 hours.
Is it safe to drive with the ABS light on?
The service brakes still work, but the anti-lock function may not, and it is an inspection item. Have it diagnosed soon rather than at the next inspection.
Can you fix an air leak at the roadside?
Often, yes. Lines, fittings and some valves can be replaced at the truck. A leaking brake chamber or a bad compressor may need the shop.
Can I bring the truck in from Ilion at night?
Yes. The shop is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Call ahead so a bay is ready.
