Take the wheel valve off and apart. You can swap the valve with the one from your spare tire. If you have one. I have the parts and I am pretty close to you.

I think that might be the thing people have called the "kneeling valve". Maybe try searching for that.Anyone know what this small adjustable valve is called? Rig is a 1998 M1088. Not referring to the CTIS wheel valve, but the valve on the 90* elbow that has a flathead screw adjustment/bleeder. Several of mine are leaking, and no way to seal them up. Feels like a bad o-ring/seal and I need to find some replacements. Can these be removed and replaced with a simple elbow? Any and all info is much appreciated.. Cheers

I noticed the "new style" air hoses don't have this "kneeling valve" part (it looks like they just have an elbow). Any idea why they can do without it? Is the valve different?The regular elbow can be ordered online for around 40 bucks. The part number is in the tm. You can search it online its is an eaton part if you dont search it as an eaton part its hard to find.
Was it intended for someone to open the kneeling valve with a screwdriver/tool? I don't understand what it was supposed to do.I think the kneeling valve was an early feature. So the trucks height could be rapidly lowered. No need for them on the back since the bed is lower than the cab. Probably not a feature that saw alot of intended use. Better to replace it with an elbow then risk having issues with it.
