e3 LevelPro + Big Red x4 ≈ 77 Air Square

[N2TRUX]

You ever wonder how you got yourself much deeper in to a project than you initially anticipated? It usually starts with a simple idea and a very rational line of thinking. Somewhere along the way, the exponential growth formula takes affect and suddenly you realize things have spun out of control. The irony is that you are prone to rationalize each increase in your plan as logical additions.

Let me back up a step so I can put my comments in perspective. This all started with a simple idea. I had done an extensive upgrade to my air suspension which is documented in my article titled "DO NOT OPEN- Air Ride Technologies inside" LINK

I felt that the suspension was at its best, but the air supply was not maxed out. I wanted to add a second compressor to compliment the ViAir 400c that I was currently running. This would give me much faster fill times, and allow a margin of safety in the event that one compressor ever failed. That prompted a thread and ensuing discussion on the best way to run the wiring for two compressors "Dual Compressor Wiring " LINK


In that thread, I note that I became concerned about the heavy amp draw that two compressors would pull on start up. In my research I came across a post on the Ride Tech Forum. It was a quote by Britt answering a question about running dual compressors.

He stated "The (E3) LevelPro is designed to run two compressors (the secondary compressor turns on shortly after the primary to lower inrush current). So all you have to do is call the sales guys, purchase a harness, and plug it in."

That sounds simple enough, just call the Ride Tech sales guy, purchase a harness and plug it in. Of course to do that I would need an e3 system to plug it in to. I made a call to my buddy Tony and divulged my thoughts. He agreed that the Ride Pro e3 system would do exactly what I wanted and so much more.
