Yes, SMC valves are quality valves regardless of where you purchase them. With that being said, the guys over at Suicide Doors will take good care of you.

Re: smc valves from suicide doors?

SMC is a good valve.. ive had some 3/8 for the dump valves on my s10 for about 2 years they still work fine...

I have 5/8 Parker valves for the fill on my s10 too..

tha parkers ive had for over 6 years and thay havent given me 1 problem..

they are just hard to find these days

Re: smc valves from suicide doors?

They are good, but be advised SD is out of stock until after the first of the year. That's what they told me a few days ago when I tried to order 3/8" valves. However, I did order some other parts from them and they really take the time to answer my dumb questions (since I'm new to the bagging thing).

Re: smc valves from suicide doors?

Yea they dont seem to have very many of there items in stock. I am not sure how they even keep in business. Most of the popular cheaper tanks are out of stock, the air bag brackets are out of stock and now you say the valves are too? Plus I have tried to ask questions and the one response I did get was limited to about five words. It might just be me but there customer service is pretty crappy.

Re: smc valves from suicide doors?

Jason runs a top notch quality shop.Its should serve as a good note that they are out of stock on most popular items...It means they have great serve and good parts....I have ordered from them several times and never had any problems. Just go into to it knowing that they REALLY are that busy.They have good products that work well. I like that they make most of there parts in house. As far as the SMC valves I have had them on my crew cab dually for 5 years and on my 91' sonoma for about 3 years and I have never had any problems.

SMC valves work very well.

I felt that suicide doors had excellent customer service!!!!!! They took the time to talk to me and explained everything very well.

Re: smc valves from suicide doors?

Hmm...I tried to email once with multiple questions and I got a sentence long reply. Tried emailing again and never got a single reponse. Maybe they were to busy to respond to a future customer? Anyways I took your words for it and ordered some parts. We will see if they live up to all of your oppinions. If they do I will make sure to restate my oppinion in a more positive form.
