ASCO hands down for me. I will never use another kind of valve. They are ussually the cheapes, and work great. I ran up to 250 psi daily on mine with no problems. I bent the hell out of one and it started leaking. I just took it apart, straitened it all out and it was good as new. I've heard alot of bad things about both SMC and GC, can't say i've heard anything bad about ASCO.

My SMC recently took a dump, actually it stuck in the fill position. Otherwise they're okay. I like Asco better. 3/8 lets you have a little more fun w/o breaking your neck everytime you hit the switches.

Only thing I don't like about the Ascos is they suck to mount to the frame. Making brackets for them kinda sucks.

My GC's stuck a few weeks ago but i had to replace an airline in the dirt and pebbles got in em took valves apart cleaned em out and they fine now.

I tried everything to fix it. Thought maybe it was the solenoid too. Something went wrong with the seals though. they were cheap so I didn't care much.

I like Asco. They are cheap and very reliable, and they are also loud, which i think is a plus!!

Valves that are from pneaumatic companies i.e. Parker, ASCO, SMC are always trustworthy valves. They have been in the industry for a long time, so they know what they are making.

I have had Parker Skinners on my Chevelle for about 5 years and no problems and never had to clean them.

I just bought ASCO valves and am really liking them for the price I paid. I switched because the Parkers were starting to look like "mierda".

Everyone has their favorites...

i think im going with some 3/8 ASCOS on my next truck. i like Parker too, had some of those a while back with no probs. i hear too many complaints on the GC, so the heck with them.
