Ride Height Valve

Anyone know the part number for the ride height valves on a 1999, time to replace them. Thanks

Never had to replace a height valve on the FT, did a few on the MCI, point is, I would order from FOT for the exact correct valve, for me, I would most likely go with a universal  from a truck supply house.  ALSO I have not looked at the setup with the HWH leveling system, so no idea if any difference between the valves.  Recommend FOT for correct replacement.

Sorry, don't have the part number.

But, what are the symptoms that make you feel all three of them need replacement??

We had to have the front one replaced on our trip last spring.  I do not remember the part number of the one that was on it.  The below links provide information on the one they installed and it is working fine.  It was the NAPA KN2700 made by HALDEX.

I purchased an additional unit on eBay to have as a spare in the future.

I just replaced a couple on mine. Bought them on E-bay for around $50.00 each. They seem to be very good quality.

That may be like the one I bought a few months ago on eBay. I do not remember the exact amount, but close to that price.

I would imagine they would not be much to rebuild. A few o-rings...

The valve we had to replace had something broken inside.  When the tech opened it up, a broken piece fell out.  He commented that it was not repairable and would have to be replaced.  Luckily he found the replacement one at their local NAPA store.

Morning Bret, all 3 are leaking when coach is parked. It doesn't effect the HWH as far as level goes when parked. However my coach will leak air to zero in 4 or 5 hours. They are just one of the culprits, all of the plastic adjustable pressure regulators are leaking as well. Running down the road the compressor is cycling more than it should without any brake application and relatively smooth roads. As Dave said I may pull one off and see if it will come apart might be able to rebuild em.

Bruce, MOT does carry the valves but are more expensive than finding them on line. If you have the steel valves, they are repairable, plastic ones are not. There are LOTS of small parts in the repair kit! Good luck!
