Height Control Valve Failure And Dash HWH Mast...

Bob, Do you happen to know the valve part numbers? We would probably carry the spare valves and fittings but don't have a local dealer. If I have the manufacturer and part number used by CC then I may do a little Internet shopping.

I have often called CC parts and asked for both the manufacturer and part number with no problem. If you find a NAPA parts place that is near trucking businesses, you will likely find both the valves and associated fittings and parts. Call any NAPA store and they can tell which store in your area deals more with the trucking industry.

Gerry,

As noted CC parts isn't secretive about the manufacturer part numbers. Haldex is the manufacturer of the RHCV and they seem to change the design and part numbers frequently which is why I am trying to make up a drop-in kit now with available parts. Recently Haldex changed the exhaust port design from a plastic barb fitting to a screw in brass fitting like the other air line connectors. If you buy just the valve you may be OK but the old fittings might not be useable and CC has used multiple linkage designs, particularly for the front suspension, and with changing designs what you buy today might be difficult to install when you need it.
That's why I have tried to purchase all the linkage parts as well as the valve and fittings for my specific design. It isn't a huge investment and the effort is a much milder pain now than being stuck in the middle of nowhere while a tech and CC parts try to figure out what is needed.
BTW, the event that precipitated my interest in this was a failure of the front suspension. One of the front anti-sway bar bushing retaining brackets broke and the bar hit the RHCV snapping off the control arm and linkage from the valve. I needed the valve, the arm, a bolt, bushings, washers and nuts to replace the lost items. So it is entirely possible to need more than just the control valve. and they have apparently changed the design using different parts.
My last shipment from CC was the RHCV arm and the invoice said something about it being part of a kit - maybe now that I have everything but the air line fittings CC is offering a ready made kit. That would figure as I have been trying to put together the same thing off and on for two years.
