The new alternator has been installed and I've been working on the cab lift hydraulics. The cab now comes back down in about 5 minutes, instead of 30! On to the air leak. It's coming from the main valve below the brake pedals. There is an exhaust at the bottom of the valve and it leaks there. Anyone know how to repair/rebuild this type of valve or would I be farther ahead just replacing it?



The new alternator solved the charging problem. It's now putting out the correct 14.5v that it should. Next step is fixing the air leak and getting all the headlights, brakelights, and turn signals to work. Also, there are 5 holes in the cab roof where the lightbar was mounted, four for the bolts and one for the wiring harness. I'm not going to put that bar back on, I'm looking for an original Federal Visibar, but in the meantime, I need to plug those holes. Any suggestions?
