    What can you say about the Viair Sealed Pressure Switch 110 PSI on, 145 PSI off, it a good air pressure? or not?

    Don't know if you considered it or not, but you might want to hook up a relay that activates with the ignition switch or a power switch rather than just running directly to the battery. If you develop an air leak, you don't want the pump running when you're not there. It'll drain the battery.

    I don't have a Viar compressor, but I have not been happy running a pressure switch.

    My compressor is rated to 150 psi, so I purchased a (on at 90, off at 120) pressure switch. I found that my compressor could pump from 0 to 110 psi in about 2 mins (3 gallon tank) but the compressor would take 5 mins to pump from 110 to 120. It irritated me waiting for it to shut off. I just installed a manual switch and a gauge in the cab.
