I got my air compressor from NAPA and the thing airs up incredibly fast. No complaints so far

Upgrade the air line for the HF heavy duty . The included yellow line melts under moderate heat created by air compressors.

Probably the case w/ my Viair too, I just make damn sure that hose stays clear of the compresion chamber and put a towel between it and the hose when cooling down w/ the hose coiled up.

The heat created by the compressor makes its way into the line. Think of it as internal venting. Depending on Tire size and original deflation pressure you might get 4 tires inflated with no problem. At some point the cheap yellow line can melt. Including a link to what might be the upgrade? It's not expensive.

Thanks for the link, I think my Viair hose is a step above the HF version, but I'll keep that one in mind if I have issues.

I hade my doubts last year getting a $99.99 on special tire inflator but 2 vehicles later and 35 and 37s this thing is the fastest inflator minus my Powertank. 37s from 12 psi to 38 psi under 4 mins a tire.
