    Got a 2019 new Cascadia that has no rear suspension dump valve. How much would the average cost be to a) have one installed or b) do it myself - provided I have the time to do it. Thanks in advance.

    Wouldn’t think it would be too much labor/cost.

    Well depending. If your a fool like me, and have it done at the dealer it will.

    I've got a peterbilt and paid $950... No, that's not a typo.

    Theres a couple videos online showing how to do it, I would never pay to have it done again that's for sure.

    I didn't expect it to be that much, couldn't believe when they gave me the bill that's for sure.
     
    Moondawg1964 Thanks this.

    Theres a guy on YouTube named SuperTruckerDan who has a video showing how he did it.

    He bought one of those Orange Outdoor Electrical cords and cut the ends off, and used that as the wiring. I believe he bought the toggle switch and buzzer off Amazon... Seems rather simple if you can find the time like you've said. Look his video up.

    I wired a dump valve switch through a pigtail for a trailer - like said, just wiring to a solenoid.
