You REALLY want to purge the hose of air before filling. It makes a big difference with the small amount of air in the small reservoir over the long run.

Good tip!
@ivanrybkin93842 жыл бұрын
how would you measure effect from small volume of unpaged air which then will be compressed from 1 atm to 150 psi, therefore being already 80% N2 it will become maybe 98% in the filled shock given the amount of fresh N2 which will be charged there

@@o3djeeps so basically run a small amount of pressure when connecting up the no loss?
@osegujoh3 жыл бұрын
I watched your video again today.! Learned more about the no loss chuck and how it really doesn't mean no loss when just checking the shock pressure and how it really refers directly to filling the shock/setting it precisely.!!

Thanks boss for an informative video! Really covered everything you need to know on how to refill your shocks with nitrogen!

The one and only question!! Should the car be jacked?,, because while jacked its shows the real pressure without the weight pressuring it more,, thanks

Does fill/charging at less psi make/give you a softer ride? Or is that base on spring tension?
@xThundersZ2 жыл бұрын
no. that nitrogen charge is what the factory manufacturer recommended to fill your shocks with to make them work good. otherwise more or less psi will just damage your shock...

Great video - I'm sold on the system now just have to decide what lift and shocks to get (MC Game Changer + 6-pack or a bolt on King coil over setup). Is there a more stable way to jack that up? The 4x4 extension looks a little unsafe :p
@o3djeeps6 жыл бұрын
Safe enough for this! lol.... I'm not crawling under it like that... but.. you could use a highlift jack... no that's not safe either! hahahah In reality you could always put a jack stand under it..but I don't bother for this quick operations where I am not pulling the tire or crawling under it.

Hi What if there was a no loss chuck both ends! Just a thought so there would be some nitrogen left while connecting.

More psi for a former ride? Better at high speed stuff like whoops. Lower psi for rough Rocky stuff? Just wondering where the magic number of 150 came from

Nathan Flowers it's an arbitrary decision based on popular opinion. I haven't really tuned it for any specific conditions...

@omlettedufromage85886 жыл бұрын
Yup, I have a question... why jack the jeep to extend the shock? I understand youre pre-charging the cylinder with no load, but whats your reading when the shock is loaded with the vehicle weight and what's the max pressure recommended for the cylinder? using "round numbers"...with a pre-charge of 150psi, then vehicle loaded to "X"psi, why not service/charge the cylinder when the higher "X"psi drops below? I think you might save some time servicing without all the jacking.
@o3djeeps6 жыл бұрын
It's what the shock manufacturers tell everyone to do... so I assume if there was an easier way they wouldn't go through the trouble to make sure you know to charge it at an extended state.
@omlettedufromage85886 жыл бұрын
thanks for the reply...no disrespect at all... i'm actually copying a lot of your mods... seicane/trail cams ect… I asked because in aviation (where this tech is coming from) you don't extend the shock/strut to service only to pre-charge (initial installation/rebuild). you service the higher loaded "X" value when it drops/dips. what's your cylinder reading under a load (static/sitting) ? does it go beyond the 300psi gauge? im curious because I have kings now (not piggybacked) and im researching going to ORI's.
