Shellshock's DIY inflator / deflator

Sure does. It’s pretty nice for inflation (just set the pressure BEFORE you connect it to the tires ).

Deflation is kinda slow or I’m impatient - probably the latter. I just disconnect the line and let it dump until I’m getting close. You can tell visually approximately or at least I can since I’ve done it so many times. The connect back up for fine tuning.

I also realized my 0-60 gauge is actually 0-160.. thanks Amazon.

 

Very cool

 

Deflation is slower because we're going from 35psi out versus what is over a 100.

I do the same but have overshot a bit. Still, 15pai to 18psi is NBD. I generally target 20.

 

Whew!

I got the grass cut. That should be it until it gets too tall to cut in the spring.

I think I did it about six times this year? Wayy too many.

 

I fixed the filler that came with the viair to have an air hose quick connect on the output side.


Also made a small single connection hose for pressurizing the waterport (just need the haltec air chuck to show up).


When did fuses stop coming with a little container?


Mmmm... Matchy matchy

 

Ahh! That is the proper way with the female connection and being able to daisy chain.


Those clamps look killer.


It has been ages since they came in a slide box, but I can't remember the last time that I had to swap a fuse.


I have OCD about that also, which was a reason that I didn't like the early gen digi gauges that only reported 0.5psi increments. And, also why I only fill cold tires at home. I might need help.

 

I like to have spares just in case. Luckily I'm a hoarder and had three empty slide boxes in my parts drawers.

 

My impulsive buy 400p got here today. As I lost about 7 psi per tire, I had to test it. The hose is damn annoying but I love the auto shutoff. The smitty is still good and I find the hose less annoying but if I had to do it over again, which I kinda did, I'd go 400p.

Now having filled four tires to close levels (front is 31, rest are 30) I see the attractive shine of this dual inflator system.

30 psi is the right amount, correct? That's what's on the door placard. I was around 34-35 in warm weather.

 

Go with what feels and wears right, which is 35psi for me. 29 or 30 was squishy as fuck.

@Shellshock 's inflator will make it wonderful.

 

I run 30 during the winter. 35 during summer.

 

32.5 in spring and autumn?

 

We don’t really have those seasons in Iowa

 

Whatever they change to based on temp lol

 

^fact

humid af
Cold af

bout all we get

 

I’ve got 265/70/17, the ticket when they were installed said 29 psi, I didn’t even check, my truck is showing they are at 39. Gonna drop them to 35 and go from there to see how it feels. Wish I had a special inflator setup to get them perfectly equal the first time., serves me right for not getting this setup put together yet

 

Well the original parts that I ordered on 10/15, shipped 10/16, and sat in a UPS facility ever since then - just showed up. Amazon already said it was lost and refunded me, so now I need to figure out how to return it.

 

In the past, we have had times where they have either said to just keep the stuff or do a free return. Either way, they do make it easy.

 

Sounds like you’ve got a free spare inflator!

 

I wouldn't mind having one that stays in the garage rather than packed away in the truck.

 

So true! Digging in the storage case for the kit is a bit annoying. That and a front / rear which harness would complete the dream.
