    I need some help fellas. I got a question. I have a 1990 Kenworth K 100 E and I was wondering if there is an air dump valve for the airbags ?

    If it’s a factory air ride truck it should be on the dash, if it was a cutoff then who knows what was done

    I have a eight bag suspension. I haven’t seen anything on the dashboard. I’m gonna have to go back and check.

    Most likely never had one. 99% of air ride trucks of the early vintages did not have one. Most guys added an electric solenoid valve similar to a Horton air fan solenoid that will exhaust air out with a 12v toggle switch mounted somewhere.

    My dump valve setup is stupid. I'm going to install a pilot valve by the leveling valve. Then the dash switch will operate the pilot valve. I got the idea off a YouTube video.
