    IIRC SS are 120 so that's only 10 lbs over.

    we set the system to 90 psi, both me and the guy that installed the kit thought that would be about right. the psi is adjustable on the kit so i can change it to whatever i want 95-100 would probably be alright 110 might be a bit on the high side IMO i don't even run my duals at 110. my duals seem to like between 100-105

    Looks like you've already gotten the work done, but there is an authorized dealer in your area:

    If you need anything else, give Joel a call!

    Best regards!

    i DO NOT deal with wallwork truck center, i have had some bad experiences with them.

    of course there name was never brought up with any of the places i talked to and did not know they were a authorized dealer, but i wouldn't have used them even if i knew they were at the time.
     
    Oxbow and Cetane+ Thank this.

    i suppose i should probably add my reasons why i do not deal with walwork truck center. every time i have ever had a truck in there experienced poor quality workmanship services not provided in a timely fashion and they do not stand behind there work.

    one example of witch had a inner wheel seal on a drive axle replaced, (simple job right) told them i wanted new shoes put on as the old ones were oil soaked, they did not replace the shoes rather just cleaned them. overcharged for the repair less than a week later the new seal was leaking worse than the old one. they would not stand behind there work, ended up somewhere else with it got the seal replaced again and it never leaked after that and that guy charged less than walworks.

    this is only one of the bad experiences with them, and no one else i have ever talked to was happy with the service they provided on any of there trucks, most local guys stay away from them like the pleage.

    Sure, there's always a first time. I'd just prefer not to use my truck for their practice runs.

    so far its been working out very good. only minor issue/annoyance so far is the center hot line on my trailer cord is what the system pulls its power from and mine is hot even when the key is off. so when i park my truck for a couple days with the engine off when the trailer air tank eventually bleeds down the warning light starts flashing a code. although it has not resulted in a dead battery yet. it probably could so i unplug my trailer light cord when im parking the truck for a couple days. ill probably look into adding a relay into that hot line so its only hot when the key is on.

    other than that the system has been working flawlessly, every time i have manually checked the tire pressures they all are exactly where they should be. i just wish they had the system for drive tires as well seems how i found one of my drive tires down to 75lbs the other day...lol
