Call Freightliner or use their app.

 
Just try airing up and if you need to also try high idle (cruise control ON and then press SET. Press cancel to come out of high idle).
 
Air bags do funky things, I've had one make a loud pop where I swore I blew one apart. They are just weird!
 
Thanks Neal. FL talked me through resetting the coach and fortunately for us the air bags reset on the pedestals. The bags blowing off the pedestals sounded like gun shots. The coach is now operating normally. Probable cause .... uneven terrain which caused an over extension of the jacks. Soooo much to learn.

Awesome job Neal. And good luck to you @skychs. That must have been scary.

Glad to hear. FL customer service always impresses.
 
I’m glad I was able to talk to them. They warned me in advance that when the bags reset on the pedestal it would pop again. He described the sound similar to setting the bead on a new tire.
 
Another lesson learned yesterday .... when I tried to call my Emergency road side service no one could find us in their database. Apparently the original company was bought out and the new company was not up to date. Nothing like having our contract in front of us, calling the 800 number in the contract and being told they couldn’t help us.

Advice to everyone ..... call all the numbers you have and see if they work. This should probably be a post of its own.
 
I use Coach-net, used them once, as a result of that experience I renewed for a 3 year term.
