I've thought about if I would want to put it in the GMC, but my Power Level works perfectly, so why?
____________________________________________________

Mine is working, so far and I support the vehicle when she will sit for more than a week. so I am hesitant to tear the system apart, especially if I create the new one, it would be experimental at best until proven. Just too many other things going on to jump on this one when it is working so so.

My design level controllers are basically the same idea using the strut from the bogie controller rods and the high low signals come from a magnet that moves across a magnetic reed relay ( magnetic ). The design has been advancing as I have studied it. The magnets trigger the relays which control the solenoids.

If the system fails completely, I may just replace all the tubing and get rid of all the extra fittings the PO had put in and, to me, are just another place for a leak to start. Hoping this might get it under control and hold air for "months" as some have proudly said they have accomplished.

The problem with the Magnet/magnetic reed relay is, Keeping it simple and tough enough to not be affected by dirt, mud or tires tearing apart is a large task to develop. I know the GMC engineers have their hands full when they come up with this stuff.

I am a strong believer in staying with an OEM design and I always remember this... " We can change anything but Should we make the change and what will be affected by that change?" The problem is we never know the result of a change until we actually do it. I can design many things and the operation is limited only to its design charactoristics but the true operation limitations will not be known until it is actually built. This also keeps me on my toes.

thanks for the comment.
