ever have a valve dump on you?

i was driving along all good tonight... and BAM!!!! my passenger side front went out on me. everything is holding pressure fine except when i try to put air in the right front.

suggestions?

comments?

well lets first start out with what valves yyou have if they are three way there is a big chance you just blew a seal

Give more INFO!!!!!!!! Yes I have on different occasions! For different reasons.

That or what I had happen is a wire off my switch came loose and touched a hot wire and held the dump open.

ok, they are GC xtreme 3/8". its holding pressure everywhere except the right front.

i'll press the switch to fill the bag, and all i hear is a loud hiss and the bag will rise somejwat and then fall. we can definetly hear the air coming from the valve. (i was underneath the truck and had my hand over the supposed area)

i sprayed all around the valve and on all the fittings. the bag just wouldnt stay up. i really doubt i blew a bag or line.

sounds like the valve is sticking or the diagphram is fucked.

would it just open by itself? damn, if anyone knows where i can get valves in Tucson lemme know please.

i might have to plug the hole with a cap and limp it home.

sounds like you blew something bro.

if the hiss starts immediately after you hit the lift switch, the valve may be bad or you have a blown air line. if it will hold air and then hiss out, you may have a blown bag with a small hole. enough to hold air for a small psi and then let out once you lift it more.

it's possible its the valve, but highly doubt it


may want to go ahead and check your driver front air stuff as well

^^^Good point check your lines and see if there next to anything hot. I.E. stuff that gets hot. Or if its someplace it could have gotten pinched.

Try having someone spot the leak when you try and air it up...maybe you can pinpoint where it is coming from.

CHECK YOUR AIRLINE (THE LINE FROM THE VALVE TO THE BAG) THEN INSPECT THE BAG ITSELF FOR A HOLE/SLICE OR PINHOLE. USE THE OLD SOAY WATER IN A SQUIRT BOTTLE METHOD TO FIND AND PINPOINT THE LEAK. BUT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE PROBLEM ISN'T YOUR VALVE, BECAUSE THE BAG RISES (SLIGHTLY) WHICH MEANS AIR IS GOING TO YOUR BAG THEN LEAKING OUT. LINE OR BAG, PROBOBLY NOT THE VALVE.
