runaway parents Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 While prepping truck for work on the frame thought I would pressure wash it at the truck wash .Accidently tripped over a cool way to detect air leaks put the truck wash on brush mode a soak every thing with foam found three more air leaks I did not know I had .Two air bag leaks and one leveling valve seems to be leaking where arm is attached to the valve. Don't think it should be leaking air there? please correct me if I am wrong it is leaking write where there is a shaft coming out of the valve it goes threw the arm and a nut threads onto it. Where would be a good place to source one.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 It should not be leaking where the arm leaves the valve. I would not sweat a small leak, mine was gushing air. today i sourced one using goigle for “suspension leveling valve” and selected the picture that looked like mine. I expect most any of them could be used, but i am too lazy to modify the piping and arrangement to fit a different valve. mine was 89$ shipped to my door, or 350$ from dealer. or you can take it apart and change or lube the leaking o-ring for almost nothing. 98 379 with 12.7 DD LG Dodge w/5.9 CTD Chrome habit I’m trying to kick.

Chad Heiser Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I purchased a new leveling valve at Napa Auto Parts when mine started leaking.

runaway parents Posted November 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Napa I will give it a try thanks. Figured it would be easier to take care of this while bed is off truck. Good time for some rust control and general maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
