Someone HELP PLEASE.... Valve manifold questions! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, bought this manifold from *****************, its an air-ride tech manifold... but came with no instructions, and im dang confused. There are 4 threaded holes on bottom of manifold, (2) are 3/8" port, other (2) 1/4" port (you cant see in this pic, but you can see through the entire manifold where these 4 ports are.. So i plumbed (2) one-into-two fittings on each 3/8" port, and left the smaller 1/4" open thinking it would be where the air from the bags would release from... WRONG, sounds like a jet taking off when i open the valves, the truck will barely move but you can hear ALL the air rushing out the 1/4" holes.... so what do i do??? the guys at suicide doors arent very familiar with these! ANYONE KNOW WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT?

That's not an ART manifold, at least I have never seen it. Strange that somebody would sell a product they know nothing about?

Let's see a good pic of all sides.

Nathan... do you think those small 1/4" holes are for the air-gauge in my situation since im not using a fancy computerized system?

GOT AN ANSWER!! The 1/4" ports are for electronice sending units... i can block them off or run a 1/4-1/8" reducer and use it for my gauges... thanks for the help nathan

I am curious to find out if you will have excessive body roll with this setup. Let me know once you test drive
