I intend to bypass the leveling valves on my MC5 and control leveling manually. Now, I may keep the valves functional for road travel, and bypass while parked, but I havnt thought that far ahead yet and that sounds much more complex than I want or need. Maybe my valves are old, but I recall all the old Buses we hauled off to scrap being simular. They have a range of motion between inflate and deflate, and can deflate a ways before they stop. And all three valves leak down within a day or so and Da Bus is on the ground. And as I recall on others, and this one is doing it as well, the valves leak more as pressure falls off. Ultimately, I am curious what max pressure should be limited to on the air bags.
Secondly, im curious as to how many other air systems I can bypass and live without to eleviate potential leaks. I know I can bypass the radiator louvers. But the belt tensioners concern me as the air cylinders would have some give that a bolt would not. For sure I will leave the one of the alternator. Suggestions?
