always, when working on a truck with air ride put it on jacks! unless that is your trucks vavles are on the top. you don't want to snag a line and blow all the pressure and have it drop on you.

before removing the vavle empty all the pressure outa the bag.

aight, well first off put the truck in the air on jack stands. then dump all the air out of your tank. it depends on how the wires are connected, if its done right its butt connected or saudered (cant spell haha) and shrink wrapped. in that case you have to cut the wires. just check it out. make sure you have the trunk on jack stands tho. dont wanna here about another truck falling on another fellow minitrucker
