I found a link to a sight that sells a block which u can use with a gauge, heres the link http://powertank.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PTOS&Product_Code=ARB-2010 but I want to run hard line down my frame and then connect to the arb just above the axle so I dont have to worry about melting the lines. just wondering if anyone has done this

I havent done it but I am sure someone has on here.

The way we run ours is to use the ARB compressor for normal use but put the air outlet on the ARB compressor and if the compressor ever goes out just back feed the compressor off of the power tank. It works very well and won't use up your CO2 running your ARB or leak it out.

do u have pic of your setup??? Would love to see it.

I don't have any pics and probably won't for quite sometime.

I will look at it tonight and get a good description for you to go by.

I checked it out last night and I added a 3/8" NPT pipe T in under the pressure sensor switch that mounts in the middle port of the three ports on top of the ARB. The two outside ports are for the front and rear selinoids and air lines to hook up.
Off of the T you put the pressure switch back in and then install an air chuck fitting.
This allows you to use the ARB compressor for airing up tires etc. but if you loose the comprssor you can always hook up a CO2 tank to the chuck and this back feeds the system giving you lockers agian.

IMPORTANT NOTE: ARB LOCKERS CAN"T USE OVER 80 PSI. IF YOU PUT MORE PRESSURE TO THEM YOU WILL BLOW OUT THE O-RINGS INSIDE THE DIFF.

Thats what I was thinking, you'll need a regulator.
