    Good morning!
    I have a truck that is new to me: 1994 Freightliner COE.
    I feel a leak on the bottom of the air bag distribution valve after I've shut down the truck. When I go to start up the truck, the overall system PSI is down to about 30.
    Also, I get a "quaking" in one of my air tanks.
    Should I replace that air bag valve?

    Cheap and easy enough to do. They do wear out.
    I just changed one on a 5-1/2 year old trailer. The air was leaking right out the shaft where the lever pivots.

    Nothing to add. Still drooling with envy after reading "COE"

    Evidently, you've never spent much time in a cabo, believe me you wouldn't be drooling, you'd be crying( compared to a hood).

    I want one for a ATHS show truck!

    I've head the pleasure of driving about 4 different Frieghtshakers up and down the East coast, spent a whole winter in one down in Pompano, running 600miles a day never leaving the state of Fla. Used to dump demo right next to Disneyland.
