I'm interested in doing a 1 pump 5 dump setup on my truck. I need help in plumbing and wiring this setup. Any help would be appreciated. Pics and diagrams would be even better. Thanks

Derek failed to tell you that you can also buy a 5 dump manifold instead of doing it the "old way" with 5 individual dumps.

If I wire it up like shown in that diagram how would I drop an indivual corner? I would need more switches right? Thanks for the fast reply guys. Also was wondering how do you guys usually adjust your slowdowns. I could never seem to get it just right on my last car. Either too slow dropping the front or to fast dropping a corner.

You can run corner switches in 6 prongs (down only) which would be the corner + the main dump, or you can wire in 12 prong corners and have the ability to lift/drop corners from a pancaked position. You can also run 5 3-prong switches and his switch "combos" which will do any move on those 5 switches if you've got some switch hitting skill.

You are able to drop corners one of two ways. Either install 12 prong switches for corners, or you could have a total of 5 switches (one for each dump) and hit a combination of switches to do what you want. The one downfall with a 1-5 (though it's not a big deal in my opinion) is that you can only have one slowdown valve so you will get the symptons you described above. An alternative that will help this is to do a 1 pump 6 dump setup (with two 3-dump confgurations). With that setup you'd have a front and a rear slowdown. I'm probably going to be running a 1-6 (with two of our 3 dump manifolds) on a vehicle I'm building in the distant future. As you can see, we're here to help so if you have any quesitons please don't hesitate to ask.

While on the subject, I have a question about hydroholics 5-dump wiring. On that tech page you say it may be necessary to wire the back switch "up" to open the front dumps. Is there a downside to doing this anyway, regardless of engine weight? Do you guys have any videos of hitting switches in your 5-dump 24v setups?
