Digital Aux Air Pressure Gauge

[truk4u]

Ted - Actually the gauge in the steering compartment is pretty close to the digital.

Jon - Some of the old trucks used to have a pressure gauge in the dash group for brake pressure and I thought that was was good. It wouldn't be too difficult to tap into the brake system and this gauge can read two different pressures by installing a single throw double pole switch. It would be easy to see how much pressure it takes from the aux to move air bags, so I may do a little experimenting while hooked up to shop air.

Jon:
Jdub needs holding tank pressure.

Re: JDUB's holding tank pressure.......I am not sure pressure gauges go to infinity.

Truk,

I had a little tongue in cheek on the gauges and what we could monitor, but I for one would be interested in doing some instrumentation because apart from satisfying a bit of curiosity, gauges on each air bag system (L Rear, R Rear, Front) would provide not only a lot of information, but would also be used to measure system health.

Jon, could you install a Schrader valve on each line you wanted to monitor and then use a system like Doran or Pressure Pro to see where the pressures are?

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Yes. That would work, but I'll bet it would be pricy. With a little wiring a system could be created to monitor a bunch of points using one gauge and some switching, such as a rotary dial switch.

Thanks this is just what I need to install. The link is here, http://www.air-zenith.com/products.a...=4&menuid=2436
