Who is running manual valves?

[hanly2]

I am trying to decide what I want to do with my setup, and I would like to hear some feedback and see some videos of trucks in action. Thanks.

[NEWFISHER]

I have used both manual and electronic.
manual paddle valves mounted on a slim board with 2 dual needle gauges from Borris aka way2lo2 here and an Air lift V2 system with elec. valves. Both work great.

Why two?

I just got my manual valves from dloe yesterday. They are really sweet. I love the action on them. Can't wait to install them.

2 different trucks. The V2 is an inexpensive way to go vs manual and zero dash space for gauges and switches.

I mounted all my stuff right in the dash. My truck is a 78 model squarebody to which I did a 64 model dash swap. The valve block dropped directly into the factory ash tray hole.



This worked out sanitary with the gauges right below it. I ran 1/8" air lines from the back of the valve block down to the gauges underneath it. Super sanitary overall.

Nice job, that looks GOOD

I'm running a Little Larrys valve block. I chose it over the DLOE route simply due to sanitary installation and the fact they are quick and easy to rebuild with generic o rings if ever needed.







The sanitary part comes in where you just have one inlet feed from your tanks to all four valves. And the combined single exhaust port is nice too since it was easy for me to run my dump line down and under the truck for quietness and cleanliness.

That's a nice looking setup.

.

Yeah I would love to see how you mounted them and if you are running guages. I like the way Borris set up looks but LL I think are faster then both Borris and Dloe. Do you guys have any videos?

Sorry I didn't see your question earlier.

I bought them, along with a ton of other stuff from tho robros.com

I had to put that space in his website name due to board politics. Apparently there is bad blood between them and the admin here so when you type his website on here it gets censored.

I know nothing about the feud that caused it, but he (Jason Thorbec ke) did me very right on all of my orders. I'm a very loyal customer to them.

I'm running a manual valve set-up from Boris ( way2lo2 ) . Very happy with the performance and simple easy install. It's been over a year with absolutely no issues at all. Those LITTLE LARRY's valves interest me, I may try them when I bag my 63.

[PAPABEAR]

How is the speed compared Lil Larry's vs DLOE? TX where did you mount your Larry's block at?

[KQQL IT]

Anothere 64-5-6 dash swap! Cool

[PAPABEAR]

Beautiful!!! How much use on them? How do you like the speed? Am not looking for bone jarring speed...

[zipper]

I'm also trying to decide on manual valves. Do you guys like your paddle valves from way2lo2?

They work great. Just didnt want to see anything on this last build

I agree with Newfisher, they work great. Boris puts out a good product at a good price in my opinion.i don't want my truck to slam to the ground when I dump the air and I don't want to jump when I fill the bags.I call it a controlled lift when I air up..it's just right

[hanly2]

come on guys we need to see videos of the valves in action, everyone wants to know how fast they are.

[Tx Firefighter]

No videos of my crap. With a 5 gallon tank starting at 200 psi, it takes about five seconds to go from on the ground to full raise at all four corners.

From full raise to on the ground, it dumps in about 5 seconds.

[hanly2]

That is pretty good, what size line are you running and what compressors and bags?

1/4" lines throughout. Dual Viair 360 compressors. Dominator 2600 front on Porterbuilt drop member. Firestone 9000 sleeve bags in the rear mounted directly over the axle.

[hanly2]

Wow 1/4 lines thats awesome. I was going to run 3/8 lines I wonder if that would affect the speed. mixermike, I can't seem to get in touch with Boris I sent him a pm, want to get a price on the set up.

[mixermike]

Boris is usually very good at responding. Maybe between the weather and the holidays it maybe taking up a lot of his time
