Howdy, folks!
After hooking up to a loaded trailer I hear a very obvious air leak, and I cannot convince the truck to get over 80 psi. My governor starts going bananas, and is popping off about every 10 seconds. Once I start driving down the road the PSI will come up, and after a while, the leak seems to seal itself, and pressure builds up as it should.
This problem seems to be more prevalent when it is below 50°. The sound appears to be coming from underneath my fifth wheel, where my suspension leveling valve is, and sounds like the leveling valve purging air. However, not really willing to ruin yet another workshirt by putting fifth wheel grease all over it, I can’t reach my hand in there to feel around the valve.
So my question is this; can a leveling valve go bad in this manner, causing massive air leaks, and yet still seem to fix itself? The valve is cheap, thankfully, and once I get home perhaps I could see if that is truly the problem, but curiosity is killing me.
Anyone who’s experienced a situation like this please chime in!
