Right behind the cornering lamp at my entry step is a small 1 inch
diameter by 5 inch long cylinder with an air line that comes to it. The
cylinder is leaking out the end of it- only with the step retracted. Is
this a rebuildable item or is a new purchase warranted. Ernie-83PT40 in

Stephen,
That cylinder is a one way job.... spring return...when the rod
gets bent a little, which
it does when it acts as a safety latch, air will leak around the rod and it
gets harder to retract
as the spring does not have enough umph to push it back... poor design..

Hi all,

I wonder if there is anyone here who might help me figure out an air
leak on a 1987 PT40. I have posted a photo in the photos section in
LWatson album. The part that is leaking is located curb side in the
engine compartment between the batteries and the engine. I'm guessing
I will probably have to replace it, whatever it is, but not sure where
to get one. Any help would sure be appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry Watson

Larry:

That is the pressure reducing valve/regulator, BB part number # 1089436. It
reduces the coach air to 80 to 90 psi for the cruise control and is also
part of the air throttle air system.

Ralph,

Thank you very much for your reply. The new part is on the way from
BB! By the way, Earl gave me a new/different part number than the one
you have (1087436 vs 1089436)but when I questioned him he said he
would gladly exchange it if the one I receive turns out to be the
wrong one. I guess that's fair enough! We'll see! Anyway, thanks again!

Larry

I have an air leak in the front of my 78FC33. Lying on the ground
and reaching up in the left front there is what looks like a
distribution valve. It has at least two thin black hoses attached
with screw on caps. When I shut off the coach it leaks for a few
minutes then stops. The brake tanks keep about 75 lbs of preasure,
but the step stops working.

There is a tube that is designed to have a rubber hose sliped over
it on one side of the valve, I can't see it, but that is where the
air is leaking from, It seemed odd that there would be a slip on
connection when all the others are the standard black tube with a
screw on connector.

Does anyone have any idea what this valve may be for? I had read
that the cruise control used air passing over a venturi to generate
vacuume, could this be it?

Thanks
Gardner
