Does the Smartfit universal adapter fit international and Kenworth heavy duty truck reservoirs?

Thanks

I have the Redline and it won't fit a IHC 4400. I think it's for the automotive market and you will have to buy adapters for the trucks. The bladder type of universal tester might work but not sure how large the bladder goes up to.

Most of the caps are rated at 10-15lbs.

The Redline tester doesn't have any truck adapters, only the one universal kit.

Does the Stant truck adapter set fit International and Kenworth reservoirs, both the older metal style slotted cap and the threaded plastic cap?

You need this Stant adapter for newer Kenworth and International http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VSFIWQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20

It says for GM and Ford but it's the one you want. It comes in the truck adapter set if you buy that.

My coworker has a Mac cooling system pressure tester set, not the universal one, and the label lists automotive uses like honda GM ford nissan etc. His automotive adapters fit these reservoirs (unfortunately I'm not exactly sure which adapters from his set fit which reservoirs)

so Being that his automotive use adapters fit these truck reservoirs, I'm second guessing buying a "truck adapter" set like the one from stant... Anyone have any feedback on this?

I would buy the truck set, most of the auto kit's adapters have a 52mm that does not work with newer Kenworths. The MAC set I don't know about...

This is the Mac set that he has,
Every time I have borrowed it to pressure test a Kenworth or international the adapters fit,

On the label it says nothing about trucks, it gives a description for each adapter as honda, GM, ford, etc

Okay, that one is different than the set I was thinking of. A guy at wok has a different MAC set and he was always borrowing my adapter for Kenworth. If they fit go for it :beer:

They fit but the problem is the price, I was quoted over 500 for that set. So I want the stant tester, but I don't want to bring the tester to work having ordered the wrong adapters, then I need to mix and match ordering adapters and wasting money on adapters I'll never use.

Do you think I'll be set if I just order this

Stant set

And this

Do I need anything else?

That's a different set than I was thinking, if you get that you'll need this one too and then you should be covered for most things... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VSFIWQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Those are all the one's I know I use that I can think of off the top of my head.

That MAC set looks to be an ATD 3300 set. Seem to average about $132 around the web.
