American Eagle Air Ride Question

Have a '99 American Eagle and the front air ride system takes forever to raise once the engine is started. The rear comes up fairly quickly. But sometimes the front doesn't come up at all, or it takes 30 minutes to maybe an hour. At times if I dump the air, I. E., cycle the air dump switch it will come up.

Your front should raise in a matter of minutes.

If you have an authorized Spartan shop nearby, they should be able to remedy it and it likely will not be an expensive fix.

The Spartan air systems use industry standard components, so if you do not have a Spartan shop nearby any heavy duty diesel truck shop should be able to fix it.

You appear to have a major air leak up front. Any truck or rv chassis shop should be able to fix it easily - the parts are all standard items,
