Looking to upgrade from my paddle setup to a used switchspeed kit that I purchased. I could use some advice before I start putting everything together.
1) Looking at the VU-4 manifold, the PO seems to have used 1/8" PTC fittings on the threaded side. I assume these were for pressure sensors. I'm looking to use my current Dakota Digital gauge and VDO sensors with the VU-4. Will this be as simple as just plumbing the VDO sensors straight into a bushed 3/8 to 1/4 fitting?
2) The IN/EX ports on the short sides of the manifold, are both sides to be supplied? Or is it a 'one or the other' setup?
3) I ordered new water traps but am not sure if it is best to plumb them inline with the feed to the manifold, or inline with the compressors. I was leaning towards inline with the manifold, as that's really the main concern for rust/moisture, but wanted to get some advice first.
4) Running dual 444's, how necessary is one of those Stinger relays? Ended up not getting one from the PO, but I run a fairly nice Optima battery as well. Thoughts?
5) Will the VDO pressure sender that I use now for my Dakota Digital gauge work if spliced into the harness for the digital tank pressure sensor? I've seen the 3-prong sensors for about $40, but didnt want to commit to one if my VDO would work.
I appreciate all of the help!
