ARO Step control valve

[Ernie Ekberg]

I have the same problem. When it is cold, that thing leaks air like crazy. I usually keep the step out till the temps warm up.

The spool valve was easy to rebuild using “O” rings from the faucet section of ACE hardware (3/4” X 1/8” thick - $0.29 each). The problem is that the rubber on the back port of one of the pilot air valves is bad so there is a leak when it is energized. There used to be kits available for these valves but I can’t find any since IR bought ARO. - Has anyone found any parts to rebuild one of these valves lately? - Or does any one have an old valve around that I could buy for parts? - Or, lastly, does anyone have a part number for a valve that would replace the current one? (ARO Part#5840-2929-02) We head north for the holidays and in very cold weather even a small leak creates problems. - Chuck Wheeler- 1982 FC 31SB Fort Worth TX
