Manual or electronic valves? All or nothing? Front-Back or Side-Side too ? These things could help determine where the problem might reside.

Status: offline 		I just replaced a bag because of a rubbed hole.  Has electronic valves with front back side to side, the works.
Was working fine before my bag bascially blew do to rubbing.

I let the truck sit for a few months, then replaced damaged bag.

My tanks fill up but no air flow into the bags,, Just her clicking sounds when a activate the switch box.

Thanks For you reply

Status: offline 		Well, with the side-to-side - that rules out it being a blown bag or crappy valve. Could still be a valve on the tank side. Where is the clicking sound coming from? And you can post a crude diagram of your setup? Did the blown bag cause the entire truck to sit flat or just the corner where it blew. I would also have someone activate the switch while you are near the tanks to see if you can hear any air coming out in the lines. Also, does the tank loose air at all?

Status: offline 		The Bag blew out while driving, it was the front passangers side bag.
I took this bag off and noticed some rubbing and a small hole,  I figure that 
went because of the rubbing. Prior to that all bags valves where working fine.
But I did let the truck sit for a few months before I replaced the bag. And Yes the intire truck
was flat and is still flat.  The tank is holding air without any problems and the clicking seems to be comming
for every direction while clicking the box, RT LT, the sides and Back RT,LT...
I fogot to mention that I also have a digital air gauge the reads out EEEE in the upper right  hand side, and the rest just fill to about 17 while the tank is fill up.

Thanks again

Just to clarify, when the one bad had a hole in it - all bags sat flat and would not take air? Or they only sit all flat now?

Status: offline 		When the bag went bad, I had the truck towed to my house because I thaught it might be a minor problem.
I was able to acatavite the air just enough to get the truck to roll into the garage.
Once i got my truck into the garage, the other 3 bags went down,   after sitting for a few months I replaced the damage  bag.  Yes thay are all flat now,
