just smear a little teflon grease, the stuff you use on wheel bearings on the inside of your rim, does a great job wont wash away and assures you of anti galling
... and yet we're bitching about how unreliable EAS is while keeping 10-15 years' old airbags around!ptschram said:Who keeps tires as long as most keep their airbags and expect them to work as long and as well? I've never even tried to use the same tires for more than ten years.
So you don't even know how to maintain your tires and wheels, El Dudorino...thedude said:yeah, i come out every morning to 4 flat tires. good one pete!:applause:

Aren't we?thedude said:shouldn't we all be working right now?
Do Rubicon, Pritchett, and Golden Spike sound okay in your book?thedude said:pete, you are right, it is highly subjective. it does depend on intended usage and all that shit that has already been said by so many before us. however, i would really like to tag along with someone wheeling, truly wheeling, a EAS suspended P38. just to see how it performs.
It's five cars for me, too. One in full, the rest - liability+comprehensive. One teenage driver. Maybe Allstate is reaming me up...ptschram said:OMG, that's six months for me in five cars!
obviously, it would be easier to just put in the entire assembly.ptschram said:I've not had good luck putting new airbags on the horns. It's a bitch to roll the bag over the ridges on the horns. It can be done, but it's not as easy as slapping an entire assembly together.

When you say "it's a bitch" to do it, does that mean "2 days of cursing and kicking things" or more like "an extra hour of messing with it"?
BTW, I've been rotating my airbags every 5000 miles, at the same time I rotate the tires, and now I have an EAS fault.
Should I convert to coils?
Do I have to rotate the coils, too?
rover-renovations said:Jim, how many times do I have to tell you, you don't have to change the position, just twist them (I wanted to stay away from this one, thanks Jim....)
PT, a little dish-soap and a twist, the new bags pop right on the old horns.
someone asked near the beginning of the thread if anyone had the GenIII's. yes, and I love them. (I started selling them AFTER I put a set on my p38.) Yes, I do have a vested interest in saying that, because I like them (and the EAS in general) even if I didn't I would still say I like the GenIII's and the EAS..
