I know you were hoping for some miraculous list of update parts to keep your EL II system pumping…… in a perfect world and all that! The main component parts were unique GM supplied parts, no longer available. But still, it was a ground breaking system and one we can learn from to design the “best” new system for our coach. Remember, anything can be done with cubic dollars and an unlimited imag...

Ok, at least 3 of you are listening…… yes, let’s talk about how our system knows to go up or down. It’s true having the air ride system trigger real time keeping your coach at “proper ride height”….. and that was pretty cool and very forward thinking. There were 2 different height sensing systems used in the GMC. Follow here about these height sensing components. Help us offer more videos on th...

The last and greatest rear suspension system… Electro-Level II. Only used in 1978 models…. the last year they took everything they had learned and made a better mousetrap. EL II really solved problems with the previous systems hands down, but that was it… the last GMC model got the best kinda what Pontiac did when they were shut down. There are some of the last year Pontiac AND Oldsmobile model...

From end of year 1976 and 1977, the coach was fitted with the upgrade “Electro-Level” electro, pneumatic, mechanical system. A bit more complicated adding electric solenoids, while a bit more understandable for the operator created a nightmare for the GM mechanic! From using 2 knobs in the previous Power Level system, now we have 3 switches to deal with! I’ve had more questions on that….. left/...

Air Suspension Regulators

Your Power Level or Electrolevel rear suspension air supply should give your grey box adjustable air regulator its “golden watch” for 50 years of reliable service and replace it with this inexpensive 110psi on/ 145psi off air regulator. Every part has an envelope of life to failure. This is a mission critical part you may never think of until it fails. The regulator will give you no warning so ...
