Wireless air bag controller
Here's my problem and I need some help and/or advice .....
I've got the Firestone Ride Rite bags on my '08 3500. I'm redoing most of the air system to support a set of train horns and while I'm at it I want to get rid of the dual valve/dual needle/single gauge cluster that's inside the cab and go with the wireless controller like the one that comes with the Air Lift system.
I can't find it, but all I want is the wireless controller. Am I going to have to buy another kit, or do they sell the controller and valves separately?
Thanks.
Kris

IIRC, Jegs or Summit had the controller and remote listed separately, but the combined price was very close to buying the entire system. So, I will be buying the entire system, and selling the compressor!
I am planning on installing this as well, this spring. And, yes, I will have to mod my existing air bag setup. I currently have solenoids that leak, BAD! And, a twin needle gauge in the cab. I will be giving this to my Brother...he needs to control a set of bags on his Dakota.

I just bought the entire system yesterday. I looked into getting just the parts of the kit needed and there was little to no $ savings. I'll be installing it next week.
DTR member FISHERGUY has a nice setup and thread if you haven't read it.

Darn...I read the topic title and thought... hey! now that is a great idea for an invention. I can't tell you how often I am driving and just WISHED I could set off some clowns steering wheel airbag by remote control. "Stop driving slow in the fast lane!" click-POW!

Thanks gents, I found what I needed!
The wireless controller was on Summit for about $150 and the remote valve was less than that. Since I'm keeping the plumbing to the bags and the bags themselves and just upgrading the tank and compressor for the train horns, those two pieces were all I needed.
I'll end up with a spare 2 gallon tank and compressor from the Firestone kit that I'll probably just give away.

I'm gonna keep it simple and use an auto leveling valve off a semi. Load her down and the valve will level her out.
Seems like the more gadgets I install in theis truck, the more breaks down

Here's the info I've found so far ....
The complete WirelessAIR kit is AirLift P/N: 72000
The wireless manifold for getting air in/out of the bags is P/N: 72003
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AIR-73003
Wireless manifold harness is P/N: 72003
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AIR-72003-004
The wireless controller is P/N: 72001
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AIR-73001
The WirelessAIR controller instructions: http://www.airliftcompany.com/manuals/UG-681_72000.pdf
The complete line of AirLift products: http://www.airliftcompany.com/pdf/Ai...alog_AD-40.pdf
So I'm going to buy the entire kit and reuse the AirLift compressor and 2 gallon tank for my wife's truck and give away the compressor from the Firestone kit.
