    The only problem you will have is the 300 PSI gauges won't get you down to the exact PSI. Another words you will have to guess-timate. I would try to find a 150 PSI gauge that has the individual markings. Since your truck should only run around 120-130 PSI you won't see much more than that. The highest reading I have ever seen on mmine was about 100-105 PSI ( I won't even tell ya what I was weighing), but normally you will be in the 50-70 PSI range.

    Again, just as pulling trucker said, no need for a gauge higher than psi of compressor. Although bumps will sometimes jack psi alittle higher than truck will generate...:biggrin_25525:

    Well I will put it to ya this way. I backed into the driveway and the wife just rolled her eyes. I asked her what was wrong and she said that she has never seen or heard my Reitnouer make those noises and look the way it did. I will say that the one coil I had on was a permit load for 60,000 and we won't discuss number 2...

    For $20 including shipping I think somehow I'll make do though I do understand your point. I think as long as I do a thourough calibration I will be good with those for now. Maybe I;m wrong though. Guess time will tell.

    I was just guessin, when I hauled equipment I would haul a 330 cat hoe with 2 buckets on a tri axle lowboy and only a 3 axle tractor and the guage on that w-900 was up over 95 psi. I had 82k on the deck of my flat once and 70-75k alot but it never seemed important to see what the guage said
