Do you use any sealant or anything to lock them in place on the PTC fittings? I've read of different sealants they use, but never for Air Ride.

Side note - I'm looking at a 89 Single Cab Dually this weekend, I hope I can bring it home.
PTC fittings are w/o sealant. I don't know of anything that would 'help' the seal as it's locked in place. I know the DOT fittings clamp better. We use some brand in our solenoid panels @ work that are dang' near impossible to separate once the airline is seated. Not sure of the brand or what they're rated for but I know I introduced DOT rated airline to the system based off of the multiple failures we were having w/the lines (splitting/bursting).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
