Help with Air Throttle
Hi Don,
That is a good question, I was able to disassemble the original valve, to get things working, But this is not a good solution, it works but now leaks air. All the local NAPA , truck parts stores, do not stock this part. So, AllenAir Corp. gave me the location of a distributor in Tampa. http://www.allenair.com/ Even the distributors do not stock this valve, AllenAir, holds the stock, drop ships and distributor (middle man) makes the profit. Plus there was a minimum order. But I am still really Happy. Bill 88 FC Michigan --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Donald Spithaler" > > Bill > I'm glad you have it fixed.
