T660 with AG380 suspension
As stated, the leveling valve leaks from exhaust port regardless of whether I'm being unloaded or not. I've replaced the valve twice trying to fix the problem. Kenworth just says, "sometimes they do that".... Anyway, my question is, is there another air valve somewhere that works with the ride height valve that might cause this problem? Or...did I not install it correctly, even though I just swapped lines from one valve to the other? How might I fix this issue?

I’ve replaced the leveling valve on my truck a couple times just to see the air bags flat the next morning.
The valve on my flatbed trailer will keep the air bags inflated for weeks with no air loss, but it is a different style valve too….KB3MMX, Rideandrepair, blairandgretchen and 1 other person Thank this. -
I go thru valves every now and then. Especially with air ride all the way around. They do allot of work. They go bad. Maybe TRP vs. OEM. I haven’t replaced the TRP ones yet..

Hmm funny I've been through two of the trip ones in like 6 months now

So, it's not just me, then. Speedco was going to fail my DOT inspection for it, even though I maintain ride height until I shut off the truckKB3MMX and Rideandrepair Thank this. -

That might be why it's in the mechanics forumKB3MMX Thanks this. -
Have you played with the arm to see if there’s a spot where it stops leaking?
Quality control isn’t what it used to be.

If I just wiggle it, front to back, it stopsKB3MMX Thanks this.
