Patrick:
Thanks for the info. I think the problem of reading tire pressure while filling could be solved by installing a valve at the inlet to the unit instead of plugging and unplugging the air source. Can you tell me what kind of inlet fitting they use?
On another subject can you tell me where you got those levels you installed in the cab. I haven't been able to find any around here.

Agreed Fisherman and no offense taken.

Camelracer the fitting is a normal tire stem with a valve core that you plug into. Yes you can plug in with some kind of lock on chuck with a on and off valve like you would if you were using water. Plug on and open valve to add air, close valve and check pressure, repeat until full. If over pressure, press release valve button on gauge to lower pressure. Un hook from wheel and plug the whole assemble onto the next tire.

The levels were bought from Wal-Mart. I have the card at home and will give you the brand tonight.

Hoppy Bubble Level. There is the front one and one for side to side. They each have different scale.

Patrick,

Thanks for the reply. Next time I'm near a Wallyworld I'll stop in and pick up a set.

I bought these at Horror Fright for a grand total of 5 bucks. Just cut off the the old chuck and add the the retaining chuck and barbed adapter. I use it to air down and it works great. Probably made in the same plant as the Meisner and the dim sum is delicious.
