    Good luck and keep us posted.

    I'd have the mechanic who installs the line turn the regulator up to get the cut out at 130. Even if the condition is being caused by misadjusted ride height or blown swey bar bushings turn the air regulators up to 130 on the slide chassis. That's where they need to be.

    Another trivia. When did Alcoa enlarge the holes on the 9 in rims to match the size of the holes on the 8 1/4 in rims??

    The old smaller holes make it unbelievably difficult to air up with conventional stems. These newer larger holes u dont need any of the additional crap attached to stems to get er done. They look pretty good too. U can check pressures again, normally, the old fashion way in about 2 min with a gauge in yer hand. Imagine that.

    When did this change occur? I dont have the answer.

    Wonder what alcoa would say about enlarging the holes on the old style. It's a safety issue if it's difficult to check yer tires generally speaking u will do it less often. Hmmm
