Subject: Suspension dump Author: Joe [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08/ 26/ 08, 6:54am I just purchased a 1982 33 fc. I dumped the suspension last night and this morning it wouldnt come back up. All other air systems seem to be ok, the air pressure came up on the guages but not the bags. Anyone know what I have done wrong?? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Sometimes if you shut the engine off and dump the air and retry to air the bags up it will work. It's been a while since anyone has responded to your question so maybe you have figured it out by now.If you did fix the problem,let us know what you ended up doing,if you don't mind.

I push it in or sometimes work the switch on the dash. Once the step is in -- no air leak. The auxillary tanks will fill. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Like I said, sounds too simple but if you are not familiar with the systems... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

We may never know though, seems like Joe posted a question and then has decided never to return [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I know the airtank starts to air up when you start the engine. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
