Has anyone used "crossfire" DRW set-up on rear wheels. Saw these on ebay and wondered if they are another snake oil product. With SS covers on wheels, it sure is a pain to increase or decrease air pressure in the rear tires. The problem I see is mounting the center part. Unless you just drilled the center cap and mounted it there where the bowtie is located. What do you guys do?

Read about it on ebay and looks interesting, let me know if you try it out. there has not been an overwhelming response yet.

I've installed sets on 18-wheelers. They work, but there is one exclusive downfall. If you have one tire go flat, both tires will go flat because it will transfer the air into the leaking tire.
I like the idea and the installation went smooth, and the gauge in them works like it shows, but like I said, that flat tire situation is the kicker. If you bought it, I'd be sure to have an air source handy and keep the valve cores in the truck with you since they have to be removed for the system to work.

Thanks- I'm just not ready to trust a system that removes those dependable valve cores! I'll just have to figure that removing the cwheel covers to air /down is part of the the price of having this great truck.

Crossfire emplyes a safety feature that automatically isolates the "good" tire in the event of a blowout. When a blowout occurs, the internal safety valve closes immediately with only a slight loss of pressure to the "good" tire.
In slow leak situations, the valve isolates both tires after a pressure drop of approximately 10 P.S.I.

I used the ones from camping world, they let all the air out while on a trip and I was stuck for a while.
