Hi Rob,
Tongue firmly planted in cheek I would suggest your logic ignores the obvious.
The GMC engineers did what they did based on technology available to them at the time. At that time they had no option for a far simpler, more reliable, less expensive and flexible Air control system such as we do today with things like the wireless air controller. Who knows how they might have elected to design this system if they did, but I really doubt they would have elected to fill the coach with air lines, fittings and numerous leak points as they had to do given the options available to them at the time. They likely also would not have had to try three times in six years to come up with the semi-satisfactory compromise.
Tongue still firmly planted in cheek, if they had the same redesign rate over the ensuing 40 plus years if GMC continued to be produced we could now be dealing with auto air control system version 23. Hmmmmmm.
Me thinks this is one case where newer technology trumps old school.

Rich, Matt,
I agree with both of you!
If the GMC suspension engineers didn't think the automatic leveling system
was necessary why did they install it?
AND why did the accountants approve it?
