Air Gauge Help.

[Westech]

Hey dudes.. well I got a new Deuce down in TX. The gauges were removed so I will be installing a new set before I hit the road. Have a question on the Air gauge. How does it hook up? Does the supply like go right in to the gauge or there is a fitting? Had this same problem with my 5 ton so I just capped off the supply line. here are some pics of the supply line and the new gauge.

Yes. Get a 1" impact.

You bought a truck with no gauges? What a Junker!

The back of the gauge is 1/8" NPT


The stock air hose has a swivel fitting on the gauge end. They have a habit of leaking when they get old. I would bring a new gauge and have a new 1/8" Female npt - 1/4" hose barb fitting, just in case. That way you could cut the old fitting off and replace with new, if needed. bring a hose clamp too.

Chances are, you won't need any of that, but you never know.

Your new gauge should connect right up to what's in the picture.

You are to kind Eric! The fitting on the hose will screw right onto the gauge there Lugnut.

Thanks Kenny. I must have a bad line in the 5 ton then. Looks like I need to get a new supply line.

That loose fitting can lock up like a steel brake line does from time to time. I would think with some spray lube it should be able to be worked loose.

Also I need a set of gauge mounts for a deuce. I have the gauges but need the "C" brackets that pinch the gauge to the dash. Anyone??

Do you need just one or all of them? I've got a few for sure but not sure if I have a full set.

we'd both need a full set

all the fittings have swivel ends on them - so when you lay your truck on its side like Gimpy does - everything has some free play and "give"

Rich, I might have access to a pull out panel with gauges in it. LMK
