I just installed the Power Tank valves this weekend. Hopefully they will hold up - they are expensive enough they ought to be good.
Here's a write-up I did on installing them:

Cool deal, I might have to do those in the future.

Great write up
The only application I saw them on was a Mog at which the tires were at 50psi to begin with. When we got to the trail head we went to air down and they stuck open. Kind of frusterating when you have to air up 42 inch tires starting at 0 PSI on the trail. We talked to Power Tank before hand and told them the application and said they would work. Traded them in for another set but sold the truck before we could see if they would work again.
Im not sure what the best way to go, either with a monster valve set up or the screw on's that are set to a set presure. I think Oaisis makes them....

Note there are two versions of the monster valves. The cheaper version is just the big schrader valve that screws directly into the rim. The more expensive valve is the one I got - it has a collar that screws up to let air out, and back down to close. You do not actually use the schrader to air down, just up. I don't see how the collar could get stuck - it just covers two o-rings up.
I looked at the cheaper version first that comes without the collar - it does not gain you near as much IMO.

Here is the cheap one - sells around $75 a set and not the one to get:
Get these - they have the high speed deflation collar:
They cost about $130 from powertank - and I added a coupler and a few other things to it so not cheap at all.:sick:
