  • The main fuse to one of the Viair pumps keeps blowing on the 1977 Lincoln Mark V lowrider. Here's a quick way to troubleshoot if you need to replace the check valve. The finger test didn't work for us but it ended up being a bad check valve like we thought. It's a Accuair Air Ride E-Level set up.

    Discovered air leaking from the compressor intake ports recently... I replaced both check valves on the dual Viair 444C set up I have and still found air leaking from both compressors! Ended replacing both check valves again and replaced both compressors this time and I'm still getting air leaks from the intake ports! Thoughts?!

      You're probably over torquing them. The torque on them is really low.

    Where do you get your check valves?

      Bagriders.com is where I get all my fittings and spare parts.

    Great fix! Why do check valves go bad so often??

    • @carscream1650
      @carscream1650  2 роки тому

      I don't know if it happens really often, but I think the moisture in the air has something to do with it.

      @@carscream1650 can you add a water trap?

      I could. I'm going to have a water trap between the tank and the manifold on my truck, but not between the compressors and the tank.

    It's not a lowrider if it ain't on juice!

      That's your opinion, but lucky for me, you don't make the rules.

      Correct, I break them!!!
      Loving the ride though.
      Solid choice going with bags!
      Hydros nothing but a headache and way more Expensive.

      She bought the car like that. I've never had hydraulics on a vehicle. I subscribed to lowrider mag as a kid and have always wanted a lowrider. If I built it, it would have hydraulics.
