Well again Thanks to Dave Lenzi, he created the need for more knowledge on
what happened with the replacement Brass combination valve for our
coaches.

In a previous life I worked for Kelsey Hayes ABS group as quality "Grunt"
Foundation brakes knowledge was available to me. So I decided to swim
upstream and found out that a brass replacement valve for our coaches WAS
DEVELOPED and put on an engineering drawing. The Code name was PVMH, who
knew!
That engineering drawing resurfaced in China and Jim Kanamota has been
provided with the manufacturer name /contact info. He is negotiating a MOQ
(Minimum Order Quantity) . I have been assured that all valves will be
function tested before shipment from the China factory.

MY FINAL THOUGHTS;
1. You can modify the PV2 valve to eliminate the pressure limiting to the
rear brakes. Your option, your risk!
2. If you have the original KH86702 Cast Iron Valve.( no rear pressure
reduction) Flush the brake fluid per the GMC maintenance manual, It may
look ugly on the outside and perform all required tasks admirably.
3. If you ever have to replace the Combination valve make sure it is a
PVMH.

If you want to follow my investigative /archival information please see:
