Ridepro E3 Dilema
So I purchased a Ride tech Ridepro E3 mangement system. I'm running two three gallon tanks mounted infront of the rear wheels on PB mounts.
The E3 only has provisions for on pressure switch to run one tank. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and how to go about resolving it. I don't think splicing the wire and running two pressure switch is an option. I've sent Ridetech a message. But, I'd figure I try here too.

Re: Ridepro E3 Dilema
As long as you connect your tanks together,... one pressure switch is enough.
The switch sees pressure. It doesn't care where it comes from.

Re: Ridepro E3 Dilema
Thats kinda the issue. I'd have to connect from one tank on one side of the truck to the other tank on the other side of the truck. I'm not sure if that's the ideal set up? I wish there was a way to not run air line connecting the two and I could run two pressure switches.
I was wondering if there is a way to bypass that portion of the E3 (or not even use the tank display feature) and connect the compressors using the just a switch on each tank

Re: Ridepro E3 Dilema
Why would you not want to connect the two tanks? You want the system to share the full capacity of both tanks evenly. You can have one 6 gallon tank or two 3 gallon tanks or even six 1 gallon tanks. You want them all hooked together. Each one of those systems would be equal to 6 gallons. One pressure switch is all that is needed for any of those setups. All tanks would be at an equal pressure, together.

Re: Ridepro E3 Dilema
You don't have to run the larger 3/8" line. A 1/4" line would work just as well to link the tanks together.

Re: Ridepro E3 Dilema
In thinking it over and from what has been suggested I think I will run S.S. braided line and -6 A.N. fitting from one side to the other.
