Agreed . . . if you're not getting a blast of air out you're not operating it properly. It takes a few tries to get the hang of it.

I got it figured out. I assumed that when the plunger shot out the core was completely out. NOOOOO! I had to push it back in and keep unscrewing until I was certain it disengaged. Then...WOOSH! I dropped 15 psi in 22 seconds! Thanks!

Does the ARB have an upper limit of 60 psi? My “off brand” does, hasn’t been an issue yet even though I run over that pressure in the rears occasionally.

Yes, 60 psi max.

ARB and the copies are very quick to deflate if you do it correctly. I used to just simply pull the valve stem cores, which works well, but you have to be careful. The ARB is nice bc you can check where your pressure is at easily and once I got one of those I used it for many years. I recently bought Coyote deflators which are a copy of the Stauns. The Coyote have hex locking ring on them so you can use a wrench to lock them down at the pressure you want. The drawback of this style is that you have to pick the pressure you want ahead of time and then set them. I bought a set of 4. I have 2 set at 17 psi and 2 set at 22 psi. Depending on what pressure I want is the 2 I use. Compared to the ARB type I find these much more convenient and easier to use. My 2 cents.

I always ask the other person for their extraction gear or any other tools necessary for the job we need to do. I do not want to be digging around for mine and have to wrap it up and put it back. If, for any reason I do not like their gear, then I will dig out mine.

I have them but have not tried them out yet. I did hear that if you have tire pressure gauges in your wheels these could damage them. Has anyone heard that or have a problem with that. The F250 is the 1st vehicle I've had that has those gauges in the tire....
Thanks!

20+ years ago I made my own Staun type using a fixed pressure pop-off valve from McMaster-Carr and a clip-on air chuck. The pop-off valve is rated for 20 psi and it consistently stops at 19 psi. That worked well for the X-cab yota, but it's way too low for the CTD. I rarely drop the CTD below 40 psi.
I made a set of them for the 4rnnr that I've never used. They'll be included in it's sale as I doubt that I ever will use them. Didn't even bother with anything like this for the FSB.
Where does that road go?
