This is related to my other post, but it's a whole separate funny story so I'm going to start a new thready for it.
I needed to reset my TPMS sensors. So I pulled all four valve cores out of my tires. In seconds, my truck was low riding inches off the ground.
Then I grab my new 12v air pump that santa got me off amazon this christmas. It claims it can do a 195/65R15 tire from 0 to 35 PSI in 5 minutes. Well our tires are bigger than that, but how much bigger volume? double? Triple?
So I start pumping up the first tire and long story short, it took about 35 to 40 minutes to pump up the first tire.
It took 50 minutes to pump up the second tire.
Then I called my buddy and had him rescue me with his air compressor. He filled the last two tires in about 3 minutes.
I couldn't believe how slow this thing was. And it has 4.5 stars with 7,000 reviews! It does have a digital gauge and stops when it hits the PSI you set, which is very nice. But its kind of useless if it's going to be THIS SLOW.
And of course its 28° out, middle of winter. It was daytime when I started but freezing cold by the time I was done. It was too late and cold to even try doing the actually re-learn of the TPMS sensors. UGH some repairs really resist fixing.
