    engine performance

    I have lost my power for some reason, it still cruises at 65mph just fine but little to no response when you try to accelarate off a ramp or pass. I just put anti-gell in last week and seems to have done something??? maybe?? what else could it be. Have fl-112 with MBE 4000-435hp 10 speed auto.

    Air leak

    It is an 2004 FL-112, i thought it was the leveling valve in the back too because when i drop the tag ( I almost always drop my tag and dollies for loading), it takes forever for the air to stop hissing. Should I replace the leveling valve first??...frank
