    i like air ride valves better idk why..they dont get stuck...i had a friend who had 2 bad valves wen he got GCs and they were brand new. but i say theyre good. just like any company some products are lemons and you cant help that. but smc and gc are great valves

    Parkers are good but if dont have a water trap and dont drain your tank any brand of valve will eventually go bad. Just my experience and opinion.

    find valves that can control gas,water,air and the valve will be fine..most smc n gc valves are single duty air valves...alot of semi trucks run the multiple task valves...idk just something ive read on other forums..dunno the name but they are expensive...

    ive ran the gc extreme valves...they suck. you have to run silencers with them because if they do not have enough back pressure they will stick. im going to run asco on my next truck, or parker valves. parker valves are the best, but they cost some coin, asco are the next best and you can get them for pretty cheap if you shop around. ive heard some people not having problems with GC, personally i hated them and will never run them again.

    For the money I can recommend the Danz SVDF valves. @ $39 each for the 1/2" valve, the price is reasonable. I did some research about them, they are rated for 250psi and are good for liquid and gas which will make them less likely to fail for any water they might pass (if you don't run a trap).

    Can't say anything about the GC's except the price is higher and I couldn't locate the manufacturer's website. That usually makes me nervous...
