help w/air ride

Well first off, I'll say HI, I'm new to this(airide) and purchased a blazer from a guy and now i have a problem, the rear(driver side) airbag on the truck fills up on its own, whether its running or not, I don't hear no air, just wondering if maybe you could help, tell me what may need to be replaced or fixed. Like i said this is all new to me. Thanks

the valve going to the bag is sticking open.

you need to add a check valve between your tank and your fill valve. I would also highly sugguest getting as fimiliar as possible with your new truck so if it breaks or something you know how to get it up and going. i would also learn how to recognize wear on bags and lines.

yep put a check valve on their. Call any place that sells bags and they will sell you a check valve. It's a fitting that only lets air through in one direction.

acutally now that ive thought about it a check valve wont work you need to lube your valve and make it stop sticking open. I would aslo recomend draining your tank and getting any moisture out of it.

when my valve stuck open i lubed it and everything but i still had to buy a new valve do lube it i just took the line off and drop a few drops of phnumatic oil into the opening and hit the switch a few times if that doesnt work the four screws you can just undo them and put s few drops in there
