Metal strap holding up air tank reservoir is constantly breaking, broke on my truck few years ago while driving on the hwy, is breaking up on all my trucks with above design. Myself getting tired with defective design and part, i have replaced metal strap with a tie down ratchet rated 5000lbs. Now i'm gettingtickets from dot for doing so and solving the problem the right way. Mention above volvo part number is 8073380.this is a serious design issue involving all volvo trucks 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 if not more. Losing airtanks while traveling 65 mh on the hwy and being 80000 lbs is a real safety hazard for all being on the road.
