Air bags chassis Minnie 2005 26A

Happy New Years guys,

I tried inflating the bags on the rig.  PSI range 20-100.  I inflated one to 50 psi  The other one does not inflate and I can't get any air out of the valve stem.  Any thoughts?  Do valve stems have to be replaced?  Do the bags leak?

Any help would be appreciated.

Air bags can get cracks or punctures and leak. Valve stems rarely fail - they are very simple devices. You can check it by unscrewing the valve core from the valve body - there is an inexpensive little tool for that and any auto parts store will have it. Probably Walmart auto dept too. Remove the core and air should rush out (if there is any). You can put air in too, but it won't stay with the core removed.
