Hi All:
I would like to rebuild the Rear Ride Height control Valves. (air )(Yes I Know I can get New ones from a few sources but I'll spend that money if I'm not successful)
Does anyone know if a source for the Silicone fluid that is used in that valve. It is 3000 centistoke (cST) And I only need a few onces to do the job..
Ive been looking in the Web but only able to find 5 gals or 55 gals at a time ( I can buy a few valves for that price)

YES!!!
The RC Lead did it. I tried a couple other sources too but the Hobby Shop option is even competitively (somewhat) priced. (same Price as a Retail Toyota Option) cost me $10.00 Canadian including Tax. Basically I have it immediately in my hand and I can move on.
Thanks Again!!

WRONG STUFF the level control valves use a 3000 CS NOT 30000 CS fluid.

This is the correct weight oil, 3000CS.

I would still check with Dave L to insure that this is the correct type of silicone oil. He is home and doing well and work on GMC stuff. His major surgery will be in the first part of June.

Re. Quote:John,
I may have missed something but exactly where did you get the silicone fluid?
Regards,
Rob M.
I was able to find the 3000 cSt silicone fluid at a Local Hobby Store that caters to Radio Control enthusiasts. Here is the results
