The attachment you see on the first page of the link below is dead.

You might think this is a PITA, but spend a couple of days reading all 12 pages and you'll see what needs to happen.

Start here... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ahc...-input.438560/

Hth and pm me if you get really stuck.

Pretty simple process. Don’t be intimidated! Read the manual and give yourself a few hours to complete.

Make sure you have fluid in the Metal cans BEFORE you do this. I had a qt of the plastic container and it was contaminated. Also, the fluid is very difficult to find.

Are these the correct steps to bleed the ahc system?
1. Park on level surface mark 'N' fluid level
2. Put vehicle suspension in 'L' mode mark fluid level
3. Turn off vehicle
4. Extract all old fluid from reservoir
5. Fill reservoir to the top with new AHC fluid
6. Remove all 4 rubber caps at each bleeder screw
7. Bleed driver side front actuator by loosening bleeder, when suspension bottoms out, immediately tighten bleeder screw.
8. Start vehicle and wait for the suspension to automatically level itself, then turn off vehicle.
9. Check fluid level
10. Repeat Step 7 and 9 for the passenger side front actuator.
11. Repeat Step 7 and 9 for the driver side rear actuator.
12. Repeat Step 7 and 9 for the passenger side rear actuator.

Always check the fluid level in the reservoir, don't let it get too low. Go through steps 7-10 till the fluid looks clean flowing through clear.
