So I managed to do an air up test today. I deflated one of the dually tires to somewhere under 10 lbs and then reinflated the tire. My tire size is stock tire size for a Super Duty (non 4x4 if that makes a difference). I managed to inflate the tire from less than 10psi to 70psi in 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Not to shabby!
I think actually it could be much faster as I am using 1/4" line and have about 40' between what is under the truck and the air hose itself. I am fine with this as I wanted 25' air hoses (two) that could be easily stored in a small bag that fits under a seat. Overall very happy with the work and I am looking forward to using it on our next Pismo Beach Oceano Dunes trip over New Years.
