yea but aims are notorious for getting stuck lol something about em they just are crap i had gc extremes, and they never stuck only had em a year.. and my buddy with his s10 has smc valves, and he has to clean em out like once a year or so. with the edc it blows oil through so if you empty the water traps they get crap in em...

what gc valves do you have the 250s or 450s, the 450s are junk

i HAD the 250s, i wasnt happy with them, they worked and all, but were very loud and let a lot of air escape when you hit the switches.

ya we use them on all of our customer vehicles, thats because they require a certain amount of pressure, the sound is normal. Parkers make the same type of noise but a different tone.

We have put them on at least 15+ vehicles and I have no complaints.

Me Myself am a smc type of guy lol.

i thought the 250s were junk and the 450s were the way to go? i've got 1/2" asco valves on the 83 and haven't had any problems (knock on wood) but of course i have had problems with everything else so i haven't got to drive it very much.

well i had 200psi on my yota and i didnt like the 250s too weak for that amount of pressure, i like smc's as well, and i have heard good things on asco, the 450's should be the way to go considering 450psi rating?? anyway yea

lol you would think the 450s would be but on freddys truck they stick terribly they handled the pressure well but right now we cant dump the rear without them sticking at all.

is the pressure to low maybe? that is strange.

to low naw he averaged 350 if not more psi, it current sits at 200 psi on the engine driven, there abour 3 years old so that explains it
