    This right here is what takes thier excuse away. Why is it that everyone in today’s society just wants to make excuses. Dump valves have been around longer than some of these folks have been alive and they still find it realistic to claim it as new technology!

    It's never had some type of part replaced in 42 years?

    I drove an 88 Pete hooked to an end dump that also had dump valve.

    I’ve been around big trucks since about 1980 I guess I thought all of them with air ride had a suspension dump valve At least the ones I was around did . My 1st ride trailer was a 94 it had a dump valve on it I just figured.it was common

    just leave your name, address, phone number, and shoe size, for when IT DOES fall over, so they know who to go after for when it falls over.....:D

    seriously, many of us have had that issue, just do as the nice mechanic tells you

    carry on
