Can I Convert My Firestone Wireless Air Compressor to a Manual Gauge?

Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can convert your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bag System # F44XV from wireless control to a manual in-cab gauge and switch. For this, I recommend the Firestone Single Function Air Spring Control Panel # F2572, which lets you inflate and deflate your air bags directly from the cab without using your phone.

This isn't a simple plug-and-play conversion, though. You'll need to bypass the existing wireless ECU, replace its control wiring with the harness included with the panel, and reroute the air lines to the new gauge. You'll also need some additional 1/4" air line tubing # AL73RV to complete the installation. You can keep your existing air bags and compressor, so there's no need to replace the entire system.

Are you wanting to switch because of connectivity issues with the app, or do you just prefer having a physical gauge and switch?

I just like having a gauge and switch for quicker response, don't like having to log onto the phone and have it on so I can see the display.

@ChrisC Gotcha. That makes sense. The # F2572 kit is exactly what you'll need then. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!
