Video Transcript for Review of Firestone Automatic Single Gauge Pneumatic Height Control Valve - F2186

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a brief look at this automatic single gauge pneumatic high control valve. Now, this single gauge pneumatic high control valve is going to work with your existing air helper springs, compressor, and tank to automatically maintain a single user set vehicle ride height. Now, this is going to work with Firestone Compressor and Air Tank kits identified by the item numbers that you see there on your screen. And this is going to inflate or deflate your air helper springs automatically as a pair, maintaining a single user set ride height consistently, no matter the load size. The ride height is adjustable to accommodate off-road loading applications, and this is going to attach to your vehicle's axle to detect an increase or reduction in your ride height. So, this kit includes everything that you see here on the table before me.

You're going to get two sets of instructions to walk you through the insulation process of the components of this kit. And that's going to conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

The height control valve works exactly as it should.this particular vlve has a slow response to changes in height, which is good for a small air compressor/tank setup so as to not be cycling so much. Depending on your application there may be some fabrication of brackets, etc. to make it work properly. The small bracket provided that only had one hole drilled in it would not work for my situation.
I installed this along with a compressor and tank combination to the air spring setup on a 2020 ford f350 single rear wheel truck.

  • Does The Firestone Automatic Single-Gauge Height Control Valve Have A Delay When Activated?
    I spoke with Firestone about the Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve # F2186 and they let me know that this system does not have a control gauge, so there is no delay once the leveling arm is moved to either the upper or lower limit.

  • Troubleshooting Left/Right Height Difference with Firestone Height-Control Valve kit F2186-2047
    The Firestone Automatic Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve kit # F2186-2047 that you had installed along with the air bag kit # F2525 controls air bag pressure for both springs equally so the issue with your uneven height from side to side is likely to be with a leak from the extra T that is on the right side air line. I am not sure why this was installed but odds are that there is a leak there that is preventing full and equal pressure from reaching the right air bag. This would...

  • Does Firestone Automatic Leveling Compressor F2186-2047 Include The Leveling Sensors?
    The Firestone Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve w/ Compressor, 1/2-Gallon Tank # F2186-2047 you were looking at includes everything needed to control your air helper springs and keep your 2012 Toyota Tundra level. This kit uses the height control valves to know when the truck is level, or when it needs to be raised/lowered.

  • Will the Firestone Automatic Height-Control Valve Compressor System Work with Air Lift Air Bags
    The Firestone Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve with Compressor, 1/2-Gallon Tank part # F2186-2047 is compatible with all Air Lift air bag systems. This includes the Ultimate version which comes equipped with integrated jounce bumpers. The connections to the air bags and air line will be the same as if you were attaching them to Firestone air bags and air lines.

  • Does Firestone Automatic Single Gauge Compressor Kit Come with Single or Dual Inflation Valve
    The picture that the Firestone Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve w/ Compressor # F2186-2047 has on it's product page is a typical photo that is basically a generic representation of a compressor kit and not what you'd actually get if you ordered this. The kit comes with a single Tee valve that allows you to control the pressure of both bags equally with one inflation valve.

  • Does Automatic Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height # F2186 Require Compressor
    To use the part # F2186 you do need to use a compressor and tank kit like the part # F2047. It does not work on it's own. I'd maybe try a kit like the # F2047 first to see if you are okay with how much input it requires and then decide if you want to go with the # F2186.

  • Operation of the Firestone Air Compressor Kits
    When using the Firestone Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve w/ Compressor # F2186-2047 you choose the height that the bags are filled to. The "automatic" system is just maintaining the pressure that you choose, so essentially you are manually adjusting them, the compressor is just keeping it where you want it. If you are looking for more control, we have the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor # F2219. The # F2219 allows you to manually...

  • Troubleshooting Firestone Air Bag System that Wont Hold Pressure
    There's a leak somewhere on the air lines or fittings of your air bag. What you'll need to do is go over all of the lines and fittings and see if you can find the leak and fix as needed. If the leak is on the line right at the fitting you can take the line off, cut it square with a line cutter # AL10530, and then reinstall it and that should fix it. If you put some soapy water in a spray bottle and spray the lines that can help pinpoint where the leak is as well.

  • Is there an Auto-Leveling Kit and Compressor for Firestone Air Bag Suspension?
    Yes, Firestone does make a kit. It is the Firestone Automatic, Single-Gauge Pneumatic Height-Control Valve w/ Compressor, 1/2-Gallon Tank item # F2186-2047. This system maintains a single, user-set ride height consistently, no matter the load size. It can be used for hauling heavy loads, towing trailers, or off-road purposes. The valve will attach to your Silverado's axle to detect an increase or reduction in ride height. For a compatible set of air springs, that will fit your 2021 GMC...

  • Air Suspension System That Also Can Be Used to Fill Tires?
    I have a solution for you, but I talked to my contact over at Air Lift about this and it really is not a cost effective solution because it would involve purchasing an additional tank and air compressor system to replace the system that is included, as well as wiring in solenoids, low pressure switches and re-wiring the system. The AirLift # AL25491 is a great system because it provides individualized inflation to each air bag in the system, but you would spend considerably more in parts...
