I can tell You from personal experience that the products they put out ****ing suck donkey dick. I had problem after problem with they're manifold valve. If they weren't leaking they were sticking. I know the price is good and all but thats how they get You man...You would be much happier in the long run if You go with a more reputable company.

[blazed00]

wow wasnt expecting that. haha. or maybe i was. probobly end up going with the accuair or asco.

[AVTekk]

Ya theyre def junk. Id go with the ART Bigred valves, they had them on sale for months last year for half price, def worth it, give them a call!

[blazed00]

nice got a link dave???

[blazed00]

i did a quick search and the 8 valve manifold runs like 750??? kinda high

[mattadams13]

ill stick with my trusty smc valves

[blazed00]

yea im trying to clean up the rear.

[V8Blaze]

for the last six months or so they had them for 400, guess that sale ended

i know afco makes some and maybe someone else. I think avs and that new advertiser newmatics sells them

[blazed00]

i just did a quick google search

[blazed00]

ive heard asco is a good company. might run that since they have the guage hook ups

[lostcause]

suicidedoors.com sells the smc manifold valves for 115 and you know smc is a good valve to start out with any way

[V8Blaze]

afco, asco same thing lol. I knew it was something like that.

[Patawick]

guy i talked to around here said he was going down the road and the valve block fell apart and left him stuck

Asco is a great company. I met with their customer sales rep, the company has been in business for over 100 years, but they specialize in the industrial field, not so much the automotive, which is why they aren't as well known as SMC or the like.

blazed00 - I run the the 1/2" version of the valve block you posted. they call it the "air engine".

I previously had their 1/2" red spool valve manifold, it was a piece of shit during the winter, and it recently took a shit on me, and i upgraded to this one.

So far no problems, works 10x better than the other one i had, been running it for like 2 months now, through freezing weather etc. no problems what so ever.

They were selling them for $350, it was not advertised, you have to call them up, talk to Jon, or just PM him on here! His s/n is Juan@AirRideTech.

[AVTekk]

Here is the link, almost a year old but I know they were still doing it a month or so ago. Says theyre $400 but I thought they were going for $350, whatever, close enough.

[blazed00]

thanks guys. i currently have all smc valves but trying to clean everything up

[Redd]

build some simple valve blocks your self

[Patawick]

Yours is more of a valve line lol, heres blazerida88s

[Redd]

either way it works and dosent use much fittings. I rather have a set of valves for each side instead of a block like you posted. Running the air line would be a little bit of a hassle id think. But both are good ideas in my opinon.. Mine just uses a few less fittings

agreed.

Im a big fan of valve manifolds, or custom manifolds people have rigged up.

Less fittings = less leaks, and having them all there together is so much easier to work on/service.

We have the Asco 8 station manifold in our shop truck, I have put 12,000 miles this year traveling to shows with not one problem.

Accuair also makes a great 3/8" manifold designed specifically for air ride suspension. You can also upgrade to their e-Level digital ride height leveling system for an amazing setup. They carry a limited lifetime warranty against leaks and/or failure.

[9K CRAZY]

I have used the EAI manifold setup and they have the gauge port on them like what you where after. Look them and see if you like them. If you want I can take a pic of the ones I got layin' around.

[firefighter5325]

well you know the tundra is getting an air engine. but im keeping some spare funds incase i have to swap in an accuair manifold. the thing i like about the air engine i will be receiving is valve heaters are going to be installed.

[Patawick]

Valve heaters u say

[firefighter5325]

yes. valve heaters. they will go inbetween the 1st and 2nd vlave and inbetween the 3rd and 4th valve. Thy should heat the valves enough that mosture in the air wont freeze the valves shut. dont get alot for really cold weather around here but it is very wet cold with lots of moisture that gets in the system.

[98LowS10]

Air brake antifreeze has always worked very well for me.

[MeltingPlastic]

hmm... that grouping of valves like that gives me a good idea!!!
