Valves???
I'm wanting to get everyones input on what your running or have ran in the past. I've been looking at these brands for my next setup... Parker, SMC, GC, ASCO, and DANZ. I've ran danz valves for about five to six months with no problems, but I'm looking for people that have ran these valves for longer time frames. I like the DIN connectors with the DANZ, ASCO, and GC valves. Would all of these brands give me years of service? Just wanting everyones opinion before I order some. I'm looking for good and bad opinions.
Thanks guys!

Re: Valves???
I have RideTechs block valve set-up on my blazer.
(The AirPod actually) My next truck will have Accuair's VU4 valve.

Re: Valves???
Yeah my other truck will have the whole accuair setup also, but on this truck I'm trying to stay more on somewhat of a budget....

Re: Valves???
I have SMC on my blazer and haven't had any problems with them, 3 years. We run Asco and Parker at work. Different applications, but they are great valve companies. I would put either on on my truck.

Re: Valves???
Thanks hotrodhomi! I figured all these valve company's would be fine. I was just wanting to see what most are running.

Re: Valves???
I don't care for blocks too much, but I have ran smc valves for 4-5 years with no problem. If you use any valve that isn't a block, I've found it best to make sure you put some kind of back pressure on the dump valve. Like a reducer of some sort. If those type of valves don't have back pressure there is a possibility for them to stick open. And that is funn when your going 60 on the highway. ha

Re: Valves???
Thanks guys! I'm leaning towards ASCO valves for some reason.
