man my smc's are really loud i run about a 180 psi and i scared the shit out of some little kid and he started crying funny as hell but he was throwin shit in the road and deserved it and if your next to my truck it will seriously pop your ears if your not careful
SMC's all the way , whos with me , lol
i think the old parkers are loud, they sound kinda like a walrus (sp)
but i got tired of it and now i have dump controlls my shit was hittin the ground hard as hell and i couldnt take it any more but i might take them off for shows at least in back
i have 1/2 SMC and at 200 psi they are loud as shit
I have 1/2 smc dumps with the valves close to the bag and they are quiet..
think it makes a different if I have 8" of airline on the dumpside of the valve? I did that to minimize how much dirt gets in it.. Think it would hurt to just have it open?
the only time your dump valves are open is when air is blowing out of them...therefore dirt cant exactly get into the valve
do they make the old parker gold valves anymore?
they made some serious noise
i have blitzlufts and they only bark at higher psi but they make a loud pop/bang when you air the truck up....lol hard to describe more like a gun shot than a bark
i have 1/2 smc's on my taco and they didn't bark until i put a avs rocker switchbox on it...they are pretty freakin loud
