    PSI gauges

    Im going with the 2 dual needle guages for my bag setup, but was wondering if I needed a third gauges to monitor the PSI in the tank? Well I know I probably don't "need" one cause that's what the pressure switch is for, but would it be helpful to have one? Also, would it be wise to have a seperate switch mounted to turn the compressors on whenever I need them? Thanks for any replys.

    No need for a tank gauge UNLESS you got a nitrogen bottle or something. For air the pressure switch is fine. Some people run relays and switches on their systems and it's a preference thing. I do have one, hidden, so if I park it somewhere where I won't be able to see it I can dump the truck and kill the comps.....

    I am with Cameron. I have a 140 Pressure switch and then a switch in my dash. Actually 3. 1 for my guage lights, 1 for my compressors and 1 for my switch box. I just have 2 2 needle air guages.

    I'm considering switching to them eventually. I was just looking at Dakota Digital's site yesterday.

    Air Ride, but I'll say that if you're considering buying, they won't be for sale if and when I go digital. I'll just keep what I've got for the Yukon's future usage.

    same here, I had my bro buy an additional gauge for the tank just to see exactly how much air pressure "play time" he has. And like you said, it was cheap and there are tons of ports on this friggin tank, might as well use them.

    Thanks for the reply's. I think im going to get the a-pillar pod that holds 3 gauges and run the third gauge for my tank. I thought I was going to be able to order my parts this coming Monday, but I have to push it back a week. No biggie, one more week won't kill me (at least I don't think it will.) Should definately be bagged by the end of April.
