Ivan Peterzell thank you, I'm glad you like the video!!

Excellent video. Couple suggestions. First of all, if this weren't a school bus you'd want to be even more careful about cribbing and not get under it or into any pinch zones with any air pressure in the auxiliary system. Otherwise the bus could crush you very quickly when disconnecting an air fitting or moving the leveling valve arm. Also, minor point but you'll be less likely to damage the brass fittings if you use flare nut wrenches instead of combination end wrenches. Overall, very nice video. Thanks!

BusBrains Thank you for your input, I appreciate it but I had heavy duty jack stands on the Bus Frame, which would prevent the Bus from coming down on me in case anything happens... I don't remember if I mentioned this on the video!! I was safe and I recommend everyone else to use Jack stands on the frame as a safety precaution!

Is there only one leveling valve on the rear.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Rick L Yes!

[@hamskoolie9706]

Why not drain the air system at the tank drain? You could then use the air brake to vacate anything left in a can or other location. This would eliminate the wear and tear from the rapid pumping of the brake. Now my question: Can the leveling valve, or the air bags in another way, be modified to produce front to rear and/or side to side leveling to some degree?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Ham Skoolie I don't do modifications, so I'm not sure!!!

I have a problem. My school bus is on the back side. I already changed shock absorber, air bags and there are no air leaks. One bag is higher than the other and the air regulator has no adjustment, any solution or why does that happen?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

Luiz Castillo check for restrictions in the air lines, and make sure everything was connected properly!

[@LuixFPonce]

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair everything is perfect in the lines, could the valve be clogged?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@@LuixFPonce yeah! that's a possibility

You contradicted yourself three times on the air bag inflation and deflation?

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

tmw188 I tend to do that sometimes!
