when i try and air up the back of my truck the valve is staying open so the bags cannot inflate. does anyone have a fix for this problem other then replacing the valve.

open it up and see what is stuck in there. Clean the diaphram with some air tool oil. and reassemble.

test it before you open it hit it with some wd before you even take them outta the truck, just spray in the valve and hit the switch a few times maybe even tap them with a hammer(lightly) and see if you can free them.
