    Okay put a new dump v alve in truck, but now when truck raises to highest point a little flap opens on the new valve and lets all the air out! Any reason for this? bad valve? is there a pressure sensor somewhere? God knows there are sensors everywhere. any help would be appreciated.

    There's a rod that goes from the valve to the suspension somewhere. Get that hooked up?

    It depends, what year truck and if it has an electronic air ride system.

    Did you put the airlines back on the right way. Had this happen on a trailer once. The exhaust and fill lines were on backwards.
