this morning i used my shop air to bring the coach to travel height. the front end went all the way up and stayed there AND the ride height valve was releasing air as it should have been.
i pulled out of the garage and to the front of the house.
from a previous experience i knew most likely what it was.
the front six pack air valve for RAISE for the front airbags had ruptured a seal. it was an old valve. that was allowing air to pass through to the airbags when it should have been holding pressure. thus....the airbags were getting air when they should not have and the ride height valve was trying to release the air, but not as fast as the air was going in.
so, since i have valve rebuild kits (ha) i took an older valve i had and rebuilt it, took the one off the six pack and replaced it with the one i rebuilt and all was well.
