hey guys new to this forum but I was told this is the best one to get info on bagged suspension for these trucks!
well heres the deal, I bought this custom 1995 GMC on bags I found out of of the rear bags was leaking so I bought two new Contitech 2600's simple enough right? NOT! I removed the bed since I wanted to look at the system and do some cleaning and need to fix the diff cover leak, replace some bushings in the rear links and was shocked at how the valves was installed at first then found more leaks at some of the connections
heres a picture of the rear valves have not got to the front yet (sorry for the quality)
as you can see there just sitting there! I don't be leave this was the "original owner/builders" work I'm the 4th owner its sad really this was a true show truck that was in truckin' & gauge magazine but any way whats the best way to fix these leaks? the tubes are leaking where the enter the brass nut can I just install a new peace of tube? do I need all new fittings? can the valves be hard mounted or should they be rubber to help with vibration?
besides the leaks the system works pretty good ride quality is good its a york engine driven pump and 8 valve system
if you can please be detailed this is my first bagged truck
