Hey Roentgeep,i did test it without the silicone on it i just put the plate over it and used washers to hold it in place for the test run,i did cut the legs on the resistor about half off each end,maybe ill still put the silicone on it just to be on the safe side i figured it would be ok maybe with out it hahaha,and heck yeah im green lol,happy as ever now hahaha

No problem. Glad I still had a couple laying around.

I didn't tack down the resistor on the first one I attempted, which happens to be the one still in my truck, so I'm gonna say it'll last a while

All you need is a stick style tire gauge that reads a min of 80psi

And some rags to stop the spray that that causes.

Mike, I put this one together a couple of years ago, the cost was around $20 for the oil filled gauge and lock on type tire chuck or what ever its called, I got all the parts at the local farm supply store, it worked very well for me. Just locked the chuck on and start the truck, holding the gauge is not necessary.
