Air Suspension Part Identification

[Dorsai007]

Edited to say that I've figured out it's called the Reservoir Manifold Part # 68204966AA. Fingers crossed it's not too much of a pain in the ass to swap out when it arrives in a few days.


Howdy all,

I've completed an exhaustive search through the forums and paid for the AllData service manual and still can't identify the part on my air suspension I know is bad. Basically, the part labeled 4 is stripped out because my fitting and hose are no longer screwed in and whenever I try to screw it back in it simply pulls free, or as I discovered will blow out under pressure when I attempted to refill the system.

Since that's a known bad part I'll start with replacing it but for the life of me I can't figure out what it's called, a part number, nadda. Every suspension system parts diagram fails to show it and while I took this pic from the all data the text doesn't mention what #4 is either.

I'd be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

Marty

I’d say the back passenger corner of the truck where the compressor is mounted

Did you attempt to tighten it? Because the body is made of plastic (the reason why it's cracked). Why they couldn't just make it out of a block of aluminum is rediculous

Number 4 looks like valve inlet part# 68204967AA. But it
show discontinued on mopar website.

I know this is an old thread but I'm posting in hopes that this might help someone in the future. I had the same problem as the OP. The fitting blew out of my manifold causing a leak, which lead to my compressor burning up before I realized what happened.

I didn't want to spend $150 for a poorly designed plastic manifold, so I thought I would try to fix it first. I wasn't sure if I could helicoil plastic threads, but I tried it and so far it has worked. The thread is M10x1.0 straight thread, just like you would use for a bolt (it's not a tapered pipe thread since the fitting has an o-ring). I had to cut some of the length off of the helicoil that I used, because it was much longer than the threads on the male fitting that goes into the manifold. I put some thread sealant on the fitting when I reassembled it, just for a little extra insurance. So far everything is working great. Hopefully it will last.
