Can Firestone Analogue Gauge Compressor Be Upgraded To Air Command ECU?
Updated 01/12/2026 | Published 01/06/2026
Question:
I have a current Firestone Ride-Rite air bag system 2528 with the in-cab analog pressure gauge/switch. Can I convert this setup to Firestones Air Command ECU OR Air Ride remote to control air bag pressures?

Hello Ryan, thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can convert it, but it is not a straight swap. Your Firestone Ride-Rite 2582 bags will work just fine, but the in-cab analog gauge and switch don’t tie into Firestone’s Air Command wireless or ECU systems. To do it right, you will remove/bypass the analog controller and install an Air Command wireless compressor and manifold setup. The Firestone Air Command Heavy Duty Air Compressor # F96VV is both smartphone and remote enabled so that is what I recommend if you want to upgrade and go wireless.

Thanks Jesse, really solid response and much appreciated. So I can't just run a new wire from my current on board compressor to a new Air Command ECU module? I assume my current compressor does NOT have the correct external port to run a new wire to a wireless module? Dang! Although it would be nice I can't justify $1200 just so I can press a button on my phone. I was really hopeful. Again, you guys are great with responses - really appreciate this!
