After re-reading your post I have to think the relation to the air out and rear bags is like Bob said a red hering.

 

The XY issues can present anytime at all with no relation anything you do. I had various symptoms over a period of a year that on their own suggested different issues. But after one very hard failure Stuck on 5th gear and no start or reset I replaced the XY and never saw Any of the symptoms again. Ever!

 

I believe the XY gives us plenty of warning it's gonna take a sh%# and we just keep rolling.

Also just consider how many times those little servos actuate in like 800K mikes! ?

 

Eaton also suggested changing the power supply to the tranny ECM They are known fail point.

 

Was easy to change after access is granted like ATV guy said. Seats and floor mat biggest job. Totally doable. The part change is simple

 

The power supply is fed from battery's and connected to ECM on top of tranny.

 

I would just go for the XY and power supply. I picked up a reman unit for $600 and power supply was $120. Best $ I ever put into truck.

See if there is a Weller Truck in your area.. My buddy paid 366 for a reman XY with a 125 core. So 531 out the door until you return the bad one. Dealers have an updated version of the XY that range from 850 to 1000 new...

Thanks. Don't think there are any Weller's in my area. Spend some time looking for an xy this morning and found lot's of different prices. Used, Rebuilt, Reman, and new. Don't know the best way to find one yet.

Hey Rod, where are you on this issue? I see you're on the road heading south. Did you replace the xy?

Bob,

 

Made the trip without problems. I have done nothing to the truck other than not using the switch to release the air from the suspension. I do make sure the truck is level as possible and in neutral before engaging the brakes before shutting down. I listen for the click, click, click too before getting out. Truck will be sitting till spring. I May pull the drivers seat , pull up the mat and see what I can find from the top as it cools off here in Florida. Will also keep watch on some x-y shifters and places to obtain them.

Made a second trip since the first symptoms. No problems again, but don't want to just ignore it. Any recommendations in the Kansas City area? I keep forgetting to ask Rick when I speak with him.

Rod, reading your posts sounds so much like reading the posts of the seller of my truck, before I bought it.  Had many suggestions about what the issues were, and he kept replacing everything.

Ended up when I went back to take a second look (because I walked away the first time), I took it back to his Volvo dealer for a good inspection to make sure I could drive it back down to Texas.  I asked him to show me the paperwork on the repairs for this truck, since he had told me that my seller had many issues with the transmission!  He opened up the file and said, "All fixed.  It was a worn ground wire on the frame"

Haven't had any problems with it yet.

I wonder if when you are dropping suspension, you are making contact somewhere where the truck doesn't like it?

Good luck,

Thanks for the info. Don't know why I didn't see this earlier. Got a referral from Rick Jennings on a shop in KC. Just got off the phone with them and will try and schedule a time next week to take the truck in for a look see. We did talk about a ground wire issue, the tech actually brought it up with my description. Hopefully that's it.

While in Pensacola earlier this year I noticed I had a front wheel seal that had developed a leak. Found it on my pre trip check and decided I could make it to Tallahassee before scheduling a repair. Got a referral from the park manager for a guy and took the truck in for the repair and a "grease" job. During his inspection he found the transmission yoke loose and an air leak at the splitter valve. Said it should shift a lot better, and he was correct. May have also corrected the other problem I originally posted here.
