  1. Been a few days n started leaning to r f again. Sprayed everything no leak. Contacted Jim at source engineering, he said it was probably the r rear ride height adjuster valve.  I sprayed it n one of the three  fittings was leaking pretty good, he was right, they were closed when I called back to see if he had one; I left him a message.

    Anyone know where to get these?  I looked up some older threads but the links wouldn’t pop open.  
    Anyone know if you replace the entire valve or is the fitting where the hose goes into replaceable?  I’d rather replace the entire valve. 
     

    Gracias Hombre’s. 

  2. Thank you for the responses guys, I am gonna go out this morning and see what it looks like and I’ll post it.  
     

    if I can I’ll eliminate the AFO system by getting rid of the Tee fitting n put in a straight fitting like suggested by Ivan. 
     

    so I went out to check this morning, no lean.  And I realize the front slide out was open about 10”   I closed it n both side fronts measure the same    
    I only lost 3lbs of air last night, but 23lbs from its fullest   
     

    so today I will make sure I can replace the fitting n eliminate the AFO   
     

    thank you everyone for your input

  3. Why would brakes drag. I know nothing about the system   Im thinking of replacing the exact fitting leaving the option for the toad brakes.  If not I can do like Ivan suggested n get a straight fitting .

    is there  an issue with this system? Should I stick with the brake buddy, haven’t used it in the new toad yet.  Hate cause it damage.  Reliable or no?

    If you don't have a 'fitting shop' near you, you can get DOT rated compression fittings on Amazon or elsewhere since it appears to be a brake line. Easier to find if you are eliminating the small line and looking for a straight coupler. 

    Thanks. We have a few truck parts places up here.

    Short answer…no way to know.  With the AFO Manual, you have the inatructions for install..reverse…and uninstall.  As stated, you NEVER know if it was done correctly, but take off what was added….

    BTW, You may have a leaky valve.  Until you. Identify what ain’t needed…a guess

     

  5. Maybe an anomaly, not with my luck.  Still need to fix the leaks, looks simple enough.  I am wondering if they sell compression fitting instead of the push on.  Much prefer compression.

    The rod and valve in your pic is part of ride hight system and if that valve was leaking, it would be dropping both front corners.

    Gotch ya thanks.
