vacationer Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 i just had my et hitch installed and slider fifthwheel removed. They used the valve that the slider was attached to so i hit the button in the cab to air it up. Only thing is i cant drive with that button on. the stop light comes on and warning buzzer lol never really thought of that. can i just tight into an air bag line instead. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsinc Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 I had the same problem when I upgraded my hitch. Previous owner used that air source and I got the same result, which is OK IF only filling the bags then shutting off the air supply, but I need a continuous supply for my heavier pin and hitch. So I went to the cab air bag lines, be sure to use the line before the leveling valve, otherwise you have modulated air, and ran that back to my hitch, I used a regulator so I can adjust if needed for different trailers.

rickeieio Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 What rpsinc suggests is best, and how we did it too. No regulator need with an ET as it has a leveling valve. On the older trucks, the sliding hitch valve works, since it doesn't throw alarms, other than a light, but a piece of tape will cover that.
