I dont know what proballs are, but i used Powerballs and bought them from Pro Hopper. U put C channel STEEL on ure axle, then weld the powerball to that. The ram part of ure Cylinder will thread into the top of the power ball.

pro hopper calls their powerballs proballs now j.r. as for the dump cartridges, with them being reds......I would definately replace all of them, thats about the only thing wrong with reds, their dumps suck.

ok cool thanks alot guys i really appreciate it very very much but i got 1 more question i need a new hose to go from my bed to the front cyender but i dunno if its a # 6 or #8 hose im guessing # 8 and is there a way to test a solinod to see if it is bad or not cause i think i narrowed it down to a bad soinoid the front dont go up but back will so i dont think its the pumps and u guys recommend itailan dumps right? and which proballs or powerballs u guys recommend thanks alot you guys have been a big help im learning more and more Jason

Most kits have #6 hoses, just replace the solenoid, its like 2 bux or even swap it to the back and put the one that is on the back to the front pump. Yes italian dumps, there is only 1 kind of powerballs.

Well to I would try replacing the solenoid, as for dumps I really like the blowproofs from showtime.As for hoses if you go to a parker store and ask for the length you want and more then likely it is a #6 which ask for a 3/8" line. I also like the showtime vesion of the powerball has a grease zerk and unbolts instead of twisting on.

[heresdamanladies]

cool thanks ya prohopper wants 7.50 for a solinoid so i guess ill just replace all 6

[heresdamanladies]

figure i would just add my question here what determines if its a number 8 or number 6 hose psi or the end of it??? the hose i need to go from my tank to front cyender is rated at 4000 psi i was looking at showtimes website and 4000 psi is #8 hose does that sound right to u guys? thx Jason
