After replacing the Forward heigth control valve, I took a good look
at all the air componets hidden in the frame of a 82 FC. There is a
check valve and back pressure regulator on the cross seciton near the
air dryer. This is the part tht appears to prevent air usagae of all
aplinaces including the air bags if the pressure goes below 65 psi.
On the forward cross member where the height control valve is located,
there is one of the three air supension dump valves ( the other two
are at the cross member behind the rear air bags.) on the passengers
side of the cross member. Looking along the cross member toward the
drivers side is a tee with the suspension dump sender for the light on
the dash. Next dead center is a module above the Height control valve
that I have no idea what it is for. Then comming around the corner
and heading forward on the main frame drivers side is another small
module that I have no idea what it is for. Then forwad of that ther is
a larger module that I have no idea what it is for. Lots of fun. Does
anyone out there have the superior knowledge to name the modules and
their purpose. I feal like I am on a game show.

Without knowing just what you're looking at, I'd have to guess it is
the parking brake valve, the proportioning valve, and the R-12 relay
valve for the front brakes.
