    I want to install one of those gauges (needles with the liquid in the dial) into the rear end of my flatbed that "T"s into the air line to the bags.

    Anyone have a good source for those? - Google seems to turn up digital ones and I just need something basic.

    I have one that's on the tractor that works on the drive air bags.

    I need to run 58-59 lbs air pressure and that puts me about right when running 78-79K gross for axle weights.

    Most of the time I will be right at 12K steers, 33800 on drives and 33100-33500 on trailer.

    This is running reefer.


    Someone else posted this on here some where else, I just kept the link.

    If you wouldn't mind, post up the good, the bad & the ugly after you load the trailer up. Thinking I should probably get one, would take a lot of the guess work out of loading a car trailer wondering if one more will fit.
