Dos:
1-Keep extra tools and supplies in the truck for emergencies
2-Drag that shit
3-If you dont have water filters between your bags and the tank, install them! Water can be your valves enemy!
4-Keep the intake to your compressor free from water and dirt
5-Check bags regularly for any rubbing(catch a problem before its to late)
6-Scare people by dropping it when they walk next to your truck
7-If you drag alot reinforce your frame with skid plates!!!
8-Drain your tank regularly(add a drain plug)
Don'ts
1-Go over your highest pressure rating on the equipment
2-Be scared to drag
3-Drop it with your wheels turned
4-Forget to check things often(make sure everythings still tight)
5-Don't hit man holes, MC Donalds big tittys, rail roads, or other hard surfaces(Your frame is weaker!!!!!!!!!!)
Thats about I got right now, have fun and enjoy!!!!

Ya best thing to do is see if you can take the valve apart and clean it or fix it. Be carefull and take it apart slowly to make sure you dont have something fly out and not see where it goes in the valve. If you cant fix it then I suggest ordering a new one or a new diaphram if thats the problem.

a friend of mine, just ran the filter inside is cab, and a long air line to the compressors intake. he never had a problem with water.

i like to think mine is stronger now...
valve should bea easy fix just take apart n c wats inther, empty your water traps fequntly and chek th filters on your pumps.
i like to keep a couple 1/2 schrader valves n th glove box just incase, you can put thm in th bags and air it up ata pump. a quik connect on th tank anda hose helps for those pesky flat tires and helpin out strangers. a ptc union fitting and a few cresent wrenches.. . and ducttape.

Smashin Haters, thats a very good habit!
definitely carry fittings 3/8 1/2 depending on bag port with schraders installed and a wrench, that way if you have a valve, compressor, tubing, or any other air management issue you can screw in some schrader valves and inflate the bags to get you ass home.
dont keep Weed or any type of drugs in your truck ... if your bagged, you will get pulled over from time to time just because the cops wanna check you out...
LOL

I tried to take out a McDonald big titty with my old HB and it pulled my front xmember up into my oil pan and screwed up my alignment. Went from about 20mph to a dead stop! Not a good idea!!

i never knew those titties where that strong! they must have some huge bolts holding them down.
i guess i will learn from ur misfortune.
