The BEX series of chargers from Auto Meter is fully equipped with sophisticated circuitry that safely charges and maintains batteries without overcharging. Charging lights will tell you what phase of charging your battery is currently undergoing:

  • Amber: desulfation mode
  • Red: charging
  • Green: maintenance at full charge

Because batteries not kept at full charge can become sulfated, the Battery Extender will keep your battery at full charge on a continuous basis in order to maximize battery life.

  • Compatible with all lead acid batteries: standard (flooded), AGM, and gel cell.
  • Offers parasitic drain protection and water resistance.
  • Fully automatic “smart” charging with advanced circuitry for safe and efficient charging.
  • No need to remove your battery: just take the charger to the source and connect the leads.
  • Spark-free connection and reverse polarity protection.
  • Compact, rugged composite shell.
  • Includes two sets of leads.
  • Backed by a 3-year warranty.

Air Lift: SmartAir II Automatic Leveling System

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

SmartAir™ II* is Air Lift’s new and improved, exclusive automatic leveling system that detects when your vehicle is not level and automatically inflates or deflates your air springs to bring you back to your desired ride height.

Air Lift’s exclusive OEM-quality height sensor uses noncontact magnetic technology to maintain your vehicle’s ride height. This reduces the possibility of malfunction due to dirt or other road debris interfering with a contact arm.

SmartAir II is available in single (25490) or dual path (25491) models. Dual path allows for the inflation of each air spring independently to different pressures depending on load, while single path allows for the inflation of both air springs at the same rate at the same time.

SmartAir II requires no lines or controls to be run into the cab, making installation easy. SmartAir II kits come complete with everything you need to quickly install, including a preassembled wiring harness, electronic sensor system, and compressor.

*Does not work with Air Lift 1000 air helper springs.

  • Unique noncontact height sensor maintains level ride.
  • No lines or controls needed in the cab
  • Kit includes preassembled wiring harness, electronic sensor system, and compressor.
  • Single and dual path models available.
  • Two-year warranty.
  • 60-day, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee.

Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl in the Books

Use This Post Clip for Email

By John M. Arnaud

Performance Corner sponsoring vendor Royal Purple is of course known for its high-performance lubricants, but college football fans will also know it as the current sponsor of the Las Vegas Bowl, the 16th-oldest FBS bowl in existence.

Traditionally pitting teams from the Mountain West and Pac-12 Conferences, the Royal Purple Las Vegas bowl this year featured an all-Utah showdown between the Utes of the University of Utah and the BYU Cougars. Utah raced out to a staggering 35-0 first quarter fueled by turnovers before holding off a second-half BYU surge to win 35-28—its second straight victory in the bowl.

We’re busy catching up after the year-end chaos like everyone else, but we didn’t want to let 2016 get too far gone before congratulating Royal Purple on another exciting year of Las Vegas Bowl sponsorship.

T-Rex Grilles: An American Original

John Arnaud Leave a comment

By John M. Arnaud

Southern California–based T-Rex Grilles might be a relative newcomer to Performance Corner, but the company has been pumping out cutting-edge grille designs for nearly two decades. With a variety of series to choose from—X-Metal, Torch LED, Graphic, and Billet, to name a few—T-Rex has a style to fit your aesthetic.

Last week Performance Corner had T-Rex National Sales Manager Tom Ameduri in the office to share ideas, swap stories, and build a more effective partnership. Tom learned about all the programs we’ve put together to support local jobbers, and we discovered a few things as well. Like when T-Rex says its products are made in America, they really mean it: everything, from materials and labor to manufacturing and shipping boxes, originates domestically. The company is also ramping up production with a faster, more efficient laser cutter.

We love having these meetings because they give us the chance to connect people with people, from warehouse distributors and manufacturers to all of us here at headquarters and our nationwide network of aftermarket jobbers. Thanks for coming out to see us, Tom: without the support of manufacturers like T-Rex, our program wouldn’t be possible!
