Re: little larry's valves
I have some I havent put in yet. I have a vintage set of MIC manuals that are just a bit too sticky, probably with some air tool oil I could get them unstuck but I just ordered some larrys instead.
I think they will fit in the ashtray location. I have a single digital tank gauge, and I think I will get two dual needle gauges for the four corners. Those will all fit in a vertical line in the empty panel to the left of the ashtray (where the single heater control knob was) A side note. I have a 1/2" fill and 3/8" lines. Thats about the most you can do, I dont think even another 1/2" fitting would fit the "out" hole on the back because of how close the in and out holes are together. Unless I figure something out, I will still be listening to the PSHHHH inside the cab, which I dont mind but my wife does. I will never go back to electrics, I used MIC manuals exclusively for years and hated the extra complexity of what is really a simple system that came with electrics. I understand the PWM control of the accuair systems gives the user that speed control that manuals had exclusively, but I dont care. Who wants to spend $2k on their air ride control system? Maybe a few guys, but not me.

Re: little larry's valves
I dropped mine into the ashtray hole.
I'll warn you though, so far they're leaking hunks of sh1t. I'm about to have to take them apart and see about resealing them and I haven't even driven the truck the first time yet.

Re: little larry's valves
They leak in two different ways.
One of the rears, you can air the truck up to your desired pressure and take your hands off the switches. And watch the gauge continue to climb. It leaks from pressure to the bag in the inflate direction. The right front leaks from ride height to sitting on the ground in about 30 minutes.

Re: little larry's valves
I got mine in, they work perfectly.
I will say, dont plan for 1/2" line, the ports are spaced only far enough apart to take a 3/8 PTC fitting. I had 3/8" lines to bags but planned for 1/2" fill and dump lines and had to change to 3/8" even with 3/8 its as fast as you would want it. or as slow as you want it. manual valves are great this way, precise control of speed.

just remove the "s" in the link and post the link.

Re: little larry's valves
