Dynasty Ride Height Adjustments

[allegro5]

Hi friends, I have a 1996 Dynasty and need the info on how to adjust the ride height! I have one opinnion, but I am not sure its right for my rig. Where is the measurements taken from, and what are the measurements? Excuse the spelling, I went to school in Miami! allegro5

Hi Monaco lovers! I have an 1996 Dynasty. I have lost all power to the indash blower! I emailed Monaco, and they have been kind enough to give me some direction. Part of this help has advised me to:CHECK FOR POWER COMMING OUT OF THE 150 AMP ( KLIXON ) BREAKER, FOUND IN THE REAR RUN BAY, or box as he wrote it! Who knows what the Klixon breaker looks like, and in what area of the rear run is it located? Realy appreciate your help! allegro5 Vermont

Bill go to the forum and look at the 98 dip ride height.

Thanks Walt 2137, The Diplomat has a diff. Chassis design than a Dynasty! I was told that my rear ride height should be 11" and the front 9 or 91/2 I thought I had made a copy of that, but cant find it! On my rig, with double Air Bags, the measurements are from the cross H beam to the frame, and at the bach half! Just cant remember the exact height! This old age memory is not for sisseys! allegro5

Bill C I know that the dip ride height is different and the chassis is different but you said you needed info on how to do the job and I posted where you could find the info and I think I have e mailed the instructions to you before, maybe more than once. I also know that my Dynasty R H measurement are 9 1/2 front and 11 rear and pretty sure your 96 will be the same. THE instructions that I pointed you to will have info on where to take the measurements.

Ride Height 99 dip

Note in 2006 Monaco changed to measuring the distance from the bottom of the top plate of the air bags to the top of the bottom plate ( I do know that the air bag measurement wont work on the 2000 Dyn ).This is for the 98 thru 2000 dip,The old procedure is easier for me because of the double donut type air bags.You will need to find a level concrete or asphalt pad before you start

using 1/2" wood dial cut at 8" and 10" and coach level with safety stands and chassis aired up. adjust front with the 8" wood dial from top of H frame (this measurement is to be taken at the back of the H frame that goes from one side to the other) to bottom of the frame of the coach by adjusting the ride height valve in the middle and over the front axle with a long rod attached to front axle.On the back use the 10" rods to adj the two ride height valves as with the front.

If the measurement is off, loosen the adjusting lock nut at the eccentric slot on the valve. Take a 7/16 wrench and 7/64 twist drill bit and crawl under the front of your coach. Locate the front jack. Just forward of the front jack, you should be able to sit up. You will see a narrow, vertical shaft. That shaft connects to a metal plate fastened to a short tubular piece of plastic. There is an elongated slot in the metal plate with a nut sticking out. Loosen the nut Move the plastic arm (tube) up to raise suspension height, this will inflate all the front air bags. Move the plastic arm (tube) down to lower suspension height, this will deflate the air bags. Make adjustments in small increments. When satisfied insert the drill bit in the plastic arm and valve body, the bit is there to hold the arm while tighten the 7/16 nut to 60 to 80 inch lb. After you finish blow down and start the engine and re air and check the height again adjust if necessary.
