Thanks folks. It all makes sense and I want to get some real data just as soon as I get organized from moving. One really needs to have some idea of just how long to wait before assuming the requested raise or lower is complete. Since there is no feedback I will just do some tests and post the results. I did learn when trying to back into my sloped sight that the Allison just blinks at me and will not engage a gear if the tag axle is in the bags full position. Returning the switch to center position allows the Allison to shift. Since the bleeding is probably as slow as the filling if I do the move just as soon as I return the switch to center position I still get some benefit from filling the tag axle bags as an increase in ground clearance. It sure would be helpful if the response was much quicker than it seems to be. The air lines look small and are probably a major contributor to the slow response.
