Subject: Ridewell Air System Author: Jack Richardson (FLYING AWAY) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 04/ 12/ 02, 8:01am FC35 1985 Vintage Bird Looking for the Pilot Relay Valve BB #0982280 or Mfg. # WM147P. Local truck parts place not able to identify. I have cleaned mine, but would like to replace the valve or diaphragm kit. Also would like a number for the front & rear bags to price before removing. Mine are the orginal I think and are starting to crack. The numbers are in the rear against the frame or just not readable. Thanks Jack: [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I had the four bags on the front of our '85PT replaced last year at a truck repair shop here in Houston. The shop got the bags from the Firestone distributor here and cost of bags and installation was about $100 less than BB wanted for the bags. Ridewell buys bags from Firestone, BB buys bags from Ridewill. Mark-up, Mark-up, Mark-up [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Ridewell Air System Author: Bob Dilks [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04/ 17/ 02, 6:56am Jack: call Blue Bird parts at 800/495-7787 for the pilot valve at a cost of about $60, if you don't like the price they will give you the name and number and you can buy it locally. As to the exterior cracked air bags, they are almost certainly original but you should talk to Bennie Collier at Blue Bird tech support (800/992-6337)who will tell you the cracked exterior on the air bags is no indication of the air bag's interior condition. You can also call Ridewell and Firestone and discuss the bag condition with them. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
