Hello good people. Back after a bit of a health scare. OK now.
Anyway, I went ahead and got the Sully system for the airbags, and went with two inexpensive (but well rated) two cylinder tire inflation compressors to substitute out my original equipment one cylinder compressors.
I re-used the relays, and I hooked the motor power up to the new compressor lines. This seems to work and the bags have inflated from all the way down to all the way up (about 50 pounds) in a little over a minute. The original switches at the left armrest area work to inflate.
I am now trying to get the switch deflate side to work. I initially thought the function might be in the skinner valves (the two little round solenoid mechanisms). These are not connected in my system right now. The skinner valves do open when I hook up the electrical and hit deflate, but they also appear to open on inflate, so I am pretty sure airbag deflation doesn't happen at the skinner valve.
When you hit deflate on the original system, can someone tell me what mechanism lets the air out and where deflation actually happens?
I actually have right and left pressure gauges which I am mounting in the dash, as soon as I get the wiring OK. I would like to use the original switches, but if I can't, I will rig mechanical deflation buttons right below the current switches.
But would rather use the switches to deflate. Anyone?
