I am having trouble with one of my ride height sensors. It allows the
air bag to fully inflate and the oval hole in the frame is about 2" too
high. I adjusted it as described in the maintenance manual but this has
not helped. Several questions - is there a good way to test the sensor
either on or off the GMC? Can I drill a new mounting hole on the wheel
liner to allow more adjustment in the proper direction? Are the sensors
rebuildable or should I just replace it? Is Cinnabar the best source?

I have a similar question. one of my sensors leaks through the exhaust
hole. Is this a valve or just a vent? I am not too worried because I have
my Jim Bounds Air Bag Shut Off Valve (JBABSOV for short).

I shoiuld have been more specific. my system is the EL1 and the valves
I am talking about are the ride height sensors in the rear wheel wells.

sent it, Now where was that and why didn't I copy it to the web page.
