q: which brand line lock to buy?
thought I'd ask here since most people on this thread probably use them.
I'm going to install a roll control kit and while it looks pretty straight forward, is there a recommended brand or model to buy? I picked up a B&M one and it doesn't appear to have a rebuildable solinoid and on the box it says its good for holding for upto 1 minute...
thanks for any replies.

If you don't care if it looks pretty or not, Biondo.

I've got the el-cheapo Biondo. Single in/out, simple $40 piece.
But if you've already got the B&M... then why ask the question?

Yea I have the B&M, bought it today but its still in the box. I ask because I see its not rebuildable and it says its good for holding for only 1 minute.. seems like a short time to me??

I don't see why there's a time limit... Unless they know it's going to leak slowly? Bleed out the pressure slowly?
I doubt you'll use it for more than a minute anyway...?
And really, why would you need to rebuild a line lock? They last a good long time.

Just about everyone has a time limit, it's not for psi bleed off, it's due to the facct these solenoids use alot of juice and get very hot, so the time limit is to protect you from shorting it out, not losing line psi.
