Thanks Rob. You are too kind.

Frank, I haven't forgotten about the info I am going to send you.

I changed my manual valves to valves with pull cords. I temp. ran them ino the front areas of the front fenderwells BUT I will be relocating them forward along the driver's side in the generator compartment as they will function better...or I will have to set up a system of pulleys to make the pull smoother.

As soon as our recent snow melts, I will take some pics of the current condition and valve. I'll also try to get the part number. They are 1/8" M-NPT (male-National Pipe Thread) and are available from local big truck parts supply houses for about $8 each. You purge the air, unscrew the old valve, screw in and tighten the new valve and then route the cables to an area that is free of obstructions and is easy to get to.

There are also 12V actuated valves that can be purchased but they are a bit more complicated to hook up. Not impossible mind you, just more complicated.
