It held air just fine until about a week ago. No leaking down. I put the purge line in a cup of water and sure enough it's bubbling out like it's not supposed to be doing. I do drop my trailer several times a week and always dump the air bags to completly empty every time I pull out.

That's where I was going. Looking for all sorts of info on coals particular problem. I'm not an o/o but I've never had a leveling vavle replaced on the company trucks.
Process of elimination -
Could it be slipping out of adjustment? Not sure what your rod looks like, but....?
-
Did you inspect the old vavles for clues? Looking for foreign matter in them?
-
I dump mine every time I drop my trailer also. I don't think that would do it, perhaps if the suspension leaked down every time the truck shut off (but I know you take better care of equipment then that)
-
Mine leaks a tiny bit too. I've been meaning to change it for years but, something else always takes priority.
-
The only truck I ever bought new, I ordered with 2 leveling valves (one for each side) That was a pain. I took one off before the truck was 6 months old
-
I have to replace mine about once a year because it starts failing to keep the truck at a consistent ride height, it will vary as much as an inch sometimes.
canadianredneck Thanks this. -
Check air bags with soapy water. as they are lifting up truck.
-
They're all brand new. Replaced them a couple of years ago.
