Rear Air Ride Adjustment

[Stephen H]

I know you have had this post alot.. However when I looked back,
didn't see much posted on my specific model... I have a 81 FC-33SB.
The left(driver side) rear does not pump up..She leans like hell
(front and rear). From what I have read, I need to check the valve
and/or the adjustment rod. Well, under the bird(with the air dump on-
so she all the way down and does not fall on me) I cannot find any
valves in the back area.. I see the single front one in the center,
but cannot get to anywere in the rear to see them. Its ether the rear
jacks in the way or the tank---in front of the wheels the mufflers,
and genny in the way.. How does one get to look at anything underthere
concerning the air susp.?

I have done a lot of work on mine...but I have a 35, not a 33, and it's
RB, not SB. I would suggest trying to locate the rod first, then
follow it up to the valve. But you are on the right track, it is
definately the valve of the rod.

Thank you for the info. I can't even find the rod!



I guess I will have to just crawl under there carefully in the center (by
the air susp, and rear axle) and see what I can see! I kind of get creeped
out under there (and I'm not claustrophobic!) I might have to take her
somewhere to get fixed. I need to make an appt over at Caterpillar to get
the valves adjusted anyway.



Thanks,

Stephen

You will need to be under the center of the coach to find them. I
did all the work on mine with the air dumped, there was enough space
to crawl around under there just fine. Get where your head is up by
the differential with a flashlight and you should be able to find the
rods.
