[QUOTE="MarkT, post: 106796, member: 3007"] I have a pair of the 400c Viair compressors. They only have a 33% duty cycle but put out about cfm than the 450c. I want to fill my tires FAST. The pair could be used with an air tank, but I decided to buy the Viair hose kits. I currently have one wired up with alligator clamps to connect to the battery... It works great! But I plan on hard mounting the pair someplace on the truck... I didn't air down to 10 psi when I got temporarily semi-stuck (I had aired down to 28-30psi before we left). At lunch, I used the viair to air back up and it only took a couple of minutes per tire to get them back up to 44psi. I could add an air tank... but for now I think I'll just run the viair's with the special air hoses.... if I ever wanted to use air tools, I could rig up a small portable tank with schrader valves for temporary use. I also carry one of the little red compressors that Brian has... it's not that slow at all... the problem with any of the compressors is they get HOT and need to cool off after a few tires . Also, I've had that model fail on me before so I definitely believe in redundancy. [/QUOTE]
