Checking ride height and questions
#14

adrian,

i am not following you very well. let me try and say in my words what richard was saying. your words about dumping it down and the driver side didnt move and that you hit the level button after being in travel and leveling seemed to work doest make sense to me.

then you asked if the engine needs to running. to raise the airbags at all takes a minimum of 100psi. minimum and at 100 it will be slow. to dump air, the engine doesnt need to be running.

so.....start by lowering the coach all the way down by pushing the level button once and then on mine i use the all down button that lets air out on all 4 corners. remember there are alot more airbags in the back than the 2 in the front. the back will also take alot longer to go up than the fronts.

once it is all the way down, you want to have the engine running in fast idle and go into travel mode. make sure you are in travel mode. then like richard says, wait a min of 5 min to let it raise up to ride height. remember that is 12 inches measured. or about. if the front is there and the back is not i would wait a few more minutes and check again.

if that is good, then all is good.

you said the drivers side didnt dump. it is simple enough to test the valves on the six packs to see if they are energized. while you are dumping, put a washer or tip of screwdriver or anything metalic on the end of the stem where the nut is on the valve. if it is magnetized then the valve is energized. if not, then check the voltage at the packard plug for the valve.

later
