FC Air System- info needed

[Scott Forman]

I can answer two questions....

The "missing hose" behind the bumper is normal, the "leaking" air creates vacuum
for the cruise control. This valve has a proper name, but I can't remember it.
If your cruise doesn't work (as it didn't on my old FC), you can cap that "leak"
if it makes you feel better (I did).

The suspension should dump fully in 20-30 seconds. The valve is electric over
air, it could be as simple as a loose wire.

Light does not go on either. How fast is the dump supposed to happen? Any
common/easy things to check?

factory layout? Thanks.
