    I have a kenworth t680. The other day i dumped the air in my bags from a dump switch in the cab. When i hit the switch again the airbags never reinflated. So i pulled the dump line from the leveling valve and it had air to it and while it was off the bags once again inflated. So probably a bad dump valve or switch? Anyway to just plug off the dump air line or bypass the dump valve long enough to get it home?

    Is it possible you have some water in the air system and it got cold enough to freeze in the leveling valve?
