Message:
well i got off work today, and started driving home. about a mile down the road, i decide to let her rip! all of the sudden i hear POP! i come to find out that a blew the $hit out of the stock air hat (big hole in the middle and blew out the seam) i figure no big deal i have another.
i get about 1/4 of a mile from my house, and in the middle of a turn, i feel the rearend dance around a little then all is back to normal. i think to myself "i dont remember a pothole there". oh well..
i get home to find my LR tire flat as hell and my rim bent in 4 spots!!! wtf?? come to find out my valve stem ripped and tore up my rim and tire! oh well....

Mr. 20's, you got no rubber anyway, just ride on the rims. You didn't even know you had a flat!
I'd check on what put the hole in your air hat though.

My guess is that the boost from the Powerdyne blew the airhat, Save. :0)
Eric,
Man! Your making -too much- power! (Never thought I'd say that), or getting too good of grip! Your -tire- didn't slip, the rim did! Ach! Tell you what, to ensure that embaressing problem doesn't occur again, I'll cut you a deal and trade you my truck straight up. What do you say? :0)

steve i dont have a boost bypass valve, so when i let off, the pressure from the blower blew the airhat apart.
todd, im not making that much power..lol i was not giving it much gas around the corner to do that. the valve stem just failed...;-( a little .10 part is causeing me some money.
i would trade, but black trucks are hard to keep clean. ;-)

I'm not running boost but I've had that problem back when I had my stock airhat on & actually still do, except its opposite when I punch it I guess its letting in too much air and lets out a big POP.
But yeah you might wanna get a boost bypass valve.
I know this is off the topic but what kinda lowering kit do you have? How much is it lowered and did you use blocks or shackles in the back? Can I use my stock shocks for a 2/2 drop?
