Help me with my valve

[Bagged 04]

Hey guys I'm having another valve problem. My valves are 1/2" mac daddy 450s. I got a valve that won't dump. I have opened the valve and cleaned it up. I have electric running to the valve when you hit the switch. Its been tested with a test light and volt meter. So i know the switch and elctrical is good. But it won't open up. I have changed the solenoid with another known working valve and still nothing. Have checked/changed the ground. Checked changed all the wiring how it hooks to valve and nothing. I have even for ****s and giggles by passed it all and ran a line straight to the battery and nothing. Help me out. Is it time for a replace it with a parker?

Man you have had nothing but problems with those, I say start replacing all of them little by little...

Thats what im thinking. I'm sick of these damn things. I think I'll finally switch to 1/2 fills and 3/8 dumbs while i replace them.

:word: Sounds like it's dead with everything you tried, get some SMC's.

Sounds like you have a dead soldier. Me personally, I like the g/c xtremes. The 450's. That is all I use. But the again, what do I know, I like using 2 links. j/k but I really do.

Are you getting the parkers?

I havn't decided yet if i'll get parker golds or get a smc from sd.com.

i've never had a problem with the SMC's , just clean em every now and then, i am running 1/2 fill 3/8 dump

ive had smc, herion, black max, and i know people running GC and parker. parkers are flawless. gc,s have problems. smcs have problems every now and then. the best ive ran yet are ASCO

Thanks for the input Andrew. I think im going with parkers for the fact that i can get them locally 6 days a week if need be and not have to order them.
