OK, well here we go... I installed the 150psi pressure sensor today on my MTV. I wasn't happy with my tire pressure gauge, so I bought a better one. HWY on the original sensor was 57 and XC was 35. So, I go to install the new 150PSI sensor. Nope, can't remove it. It's too close to the plastic housing covering the solenoids. So, I decide to remove it. The PO used a ton of silicone on it for some reason!? The two sensors are different in that they use a different size hex to tighten them. The new one was larger and I wasn't sure the plastic cover would go back on, but it did. I start the truck and it begins airing up...and up...and up... Below is a photo of the final air pressure after it settled. In order to get it there, I had to bleed out the wet tank to get it to build back up to 125. When the tires were at 80psi, the wet tank would sit at 85 and not seem to air up the tires. Maybe it was just painfully slow. But with the tires being aired up this hi, it would be nice to get the wet tank to keep recharging back up to 125 from 100. Letting a bit of air out and taking the tank to less than 80 caused it to immediately recharge itself. I don't think the HWY lite would go solid with 81 PSI in the tires and the wet tank at 81. Everything just sat there till I took it under 80 to cause a recharge. After several tank dumps, I got to pressure and solid HWY lite! At a good pressure no less! God, does that make sense??
