Hi

It will probably work OK but why not just buy the correct one from JimK for
less money?

Yea, that might work, but you can get the correct direct replacement
from Jim K for Less.

Jim,

As some of the others have noted you can get new OEM valves from JimK and
rebuilt valves from Dave Lenzi for less.

The OEM ride height valves are "calibrated" to operate properly attached to
the vertical arm of the bogie.

You would have to get detailed specs from the manufacturer to be able to
determine if it would work on a GMC.

Quite frankly it might be more accurate to say the only way to tell if that
valve will work is to buy a pair, install, and testing them.

Regards,
Rob M.

Thanks, Rob. The other day I was walking past a bobtail Pete and
noticed the level valve for the air suspension and thought that it
looked kinda familiar. I haven't shopped for one so I didn't know about
availability from our people.

Hello,

I just bought 2 new valves, from Jim K. They are top quality, all brass fittings. Looking at them they look better made than the OEM ones !!!

I personally try and save $$ whenever i can. I would go for Jim K/B ones. They are made by a company that took over from the OEM manufacturer. you will not be dissapointed if you do.

cheers and beers
