I bought one for my 1979 Prevost for $41.00 from Prevost.

Just an FYI

Lin, I don't want to tell you what I paid for the last ones...but I've bookmarked the page..Thank you.

What I'm also looking for is the screened fitting that goes into the levelling valves. I put a couple of block-off plates in my bus 2 years ago and I'm sure the mechanic cross threaded the lines into the leveling valve filter.

I'd love to hace a few for spares. I think they're I/8" or 1/4" Pipe in the male end and 1/4" inverted flare on the female end.

I could be wrong. MC5A

You got a part # on that 41 dollar ride height valve from Prevo parts?

[chuckd]

Joe:  I do, may take a while to find it but will post it when I do.  I file most things under miscellaneous so it will take a little while to find.

FWIW that valve is 40.81 everyday at Mohawk and the shipping is 1/2 of the sellers price 

good luck

Interesting.

The Haldex valves they sell for our 85 are 75bucks  and I have seen the older style Im assuming that is what you have.

Most are interchangable.

Thank you I am going to do some investigation.

For the record the Haldex height valves Prevo sells are not the same as for a truck although on the outside they are exactly the same.

Prevo sells them with a 5 sec delay built into them.

They do this because when installed in a municipal bus that is constantly in a turn and leaning is adds years on the air compressor for not having to work every time you turn

My 5a manual say the the leveling valves should have delay also.
