Curious as my Skinner valves are leaking (internally?) and I'm getting ready to replace. I have 2 valves and they are shaped differently but the electrical and air valve connections look the same. Ill post pics in a bit but was just wondering if there are NC vs NO valves or multiple valve configs available or if one kind (brand) is more reliable than another. No part numbers that I can see on these ones.
Any part numbers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

why do you think that they are leaking internally ?
It is to dark now but I think mine have PN tags on them, I will try to look tomorrow.

One leaks between the plastic top half and metal bottom half. I can hear it leaking and feel air coming out. It leaks less if I turn the bottom half as if to tighten it but it still leaks. The other one isn't leaking but I figured I'd replace them both at the same time and keep a spare.

I am thinking that repair kits are all you really need....and then probably only O-rings. I don't imagine the solenoids and valve bodies could be the cause or your troubles. And they are not that hard to inspect....tho I would have a few spare parts when I looked, if I could.
I don't think it would hurt to look inside.
PS the kits are 50-60$. I have no idea how much the valves are but my guess is 3-4 or 5x's the kit $$.
I have one of each on my MCI, I recall them being identical but connected differently to get the NC vs NO.

Here are some pics and a part number plate from the one that is leaking.

Here is an old thread for reference of anyone else is looking for one for an Eagle Bus.

Still wondering if this part# is my only option or if there is a newer numbered part to replace part # V51DA2150 or if that's the only part that will work.

If it is for the engine shut down I would change to the all in one shut down assembly then you have no skinner or air valve to deal with JMW if you are still in AZ this week end I may have one I will give to you, I am not a huge fan of skinner valves or the air plunger
Sounds like you might have a full house this weekend Clifford lol
Clifford - If it is for the price of shipping - I'm sending Van down this weekend to pick it up. Sorry we missed you. We may be in Vegas for the month if you get a chance to come up and say hello. I'd love to go visit you next week with Van but I will be working.
Thanks so much.
