    Default Gauge

    I got so feed up with bad gauges I ordered a racing gauge from Longacre lots of Lewbucks but high quality.

    I have purchase several gauges at truck stops and they all read 5 -10 lbs different. I was using one gauge last month and it seemed like I was l losing air more than I should. I keep adding air, adding air until my air doubler one day sounded different. I got the air up to 117 psi in the fronts and headed to Vegas. In Vegas I checked the air and it was down to about 110 psi. My friend at ODR gave me a gauge and it read 145 psi fronts, 125 duals and 130 tag. I went to the TA and got a gauge that confirmed the other gauges reading.

    On investigation I found all my gauges we contaminated with the evil Equal powder causing air to leak past the piston in the gauge producing low readings. Cleaned all three gauges and they all work within 5 psi.
